OK! From some of the minds behind Dishonored and Prey, ya gotta give it to 'em there. + Loved the five different Player Character viewpoints. Interesting stories each one, well told. + Enjoyed the gunplay, using twin shooter mode - and the 'immersive' simmyness of some of your RPG choices and actions. + Bounties were always fun, and the legendary weapons made it even better. - Didn't like losing all my gear except if 'til I had a horse.. reuniting with my old characters meant they just became a second horse carrying my good stuff til I stole it all back and equipped lol. - Story was pretty trite. The fantasy / fiction stuff was.. yeah I dunno I didn't really care towards the end. I liked the more personal stories like Jane Bell's tale at the start. + Liked the mini-nemesis system (ohh Lord of the Rings games I miss you) + Liked the map too. Reminded me of Broken Roads, another great RPG set in Post-Apoc Straya ;-) - Length was pretty padded. Overall.. C+ Get it on sale, hoss.

The feeling that you want more from game but you know you won't get it.... You will feel weird.... as the name of the game itself, due to the fact that you do not know how you feel about this game, on the one hand you like it, on the other hand you feel that something is wrong. Weird West is, how could I describe it.... weird. I finished 100% of this game with all achievments and came to the conclusion that the game is fun, you can be intrigued by the atmosphere, lore, characters. But.... Gameplay is initially incredibly cool, I even thought it was similar to combat like hotline miami or other such games. Shooting weapons, using skills of different characters, melee combat is very interesting. But after some time, after many random encounters, it can become tedious, but this is just my opinion. I can safely say that the best thing about this game is the music and sound design. Each weapon sounds crispy good, the background music is a combination of guitars from the wild west but also dark atmosphere. The dialogues in this game are also very good, however, some people may get bored with constantly reading a lot of dialogues after say 20 hours of playing. The locations in this game are... almost the same. Sometimes very interesting places will happen, but we often appear in similar cities, similar caves, similar temples or similar other places. The story in the game is interesting and intriguing. The game is very simple in its concept, but what surprises me the most is how much work the developers have put into details that you won't even notice after many hours of playing. I even thought if it is needed but I appreciate the work on it very much. The most random characters you kill, their families, loved ones can seek revenge on you. Characters you've seen once may divorce and change their surname. A wind that you don't even know exists can push the fire in another direction. There are so many details in this game that you won't even pay attention to, and somehow during the game you feel that the game it's not quite ready, as if it was still early access. The economy in this game, buying, collecting money for something special for you is, in my opinion, the weak point of this game. After collecting a lot of money, you don't really have anything to spend it on. There are not so many very different things in this game, weapons, armor only change their kind of quality. Every choice you make is significant and cannot be changed, every death is permanent, this gives a lot of realism to the role-playing but the rpg elements in this game are not top notch. Deciding on problems may be one of the main elements of an rpg but there is no such thing as creating your character the way you think. You just add a new skill every now and then that you may not even use a second time because it requires a lot of energy that doesn't regenerate at all. A.I. of the opponents and your companions is very weak. They act in a way to either get you at all costs or they don't know what's going on. The game also gives you a lot of freedom to make decisions, you can kill anyone, it won't affect whether you finish the game or not but it can influence certain decisions. Problems can be approached in many ways but after many hours, you don't want to approach those problems in any other way than beating them to a pulp or in stealth to avoid combat. At the end, I can say that Weird West is a good game, you can sink into this world for many hours, but after hours the game starts to get tiresome. After a couple of hours you can tell that you've seen most of the stuff, but the character story and general mood is still intriguing and you want to keep playing to see more. The sound design is awesome. You feel disappointed that the game could have been even better if only they had worked on it some more in certain aspects. They are good with the music, why I often heard the same loop throughout the game and at some moments the music was extremely good and atmospheric? Cool idea for combat but you feel it's not enough and it bores you after a while. Such a big world universe created and so few items in the game? What's all the rpg for if the game features weapons and armor that can be counted on the fingers of one hand. + sound design, the characters and their dialogues, the story and mood of the game world, a lot of freedom of decision-making, cool combat but not for a long time - little variety of items, places are often repetitive, a lot of wasted potential, A.I. is stupid, after first hours you feel that you have already seen everything.

Interesting CRPG/immersive-sim mix. The combat isn't great, which is a problem as that's a large part of the gameplay. It's also a bit buggy. I really liked the story though, very unique both in terms of the world lore and the story the game is portraying. That makes it worth playing imo.

Did not expect to enjoy Weird West as much as i did. It's a good game, but far from perfect. There are as many things to like as there are flaws. The main feature of Weird West is that you play as five different characters one by one and the decisions you make affect the world of the next character. And it's amazing how many things are taken into account. The world can change drastically. You can kill all the people in every town, including those important to the story, and still be able to finish the game. You can even recruit characters into your party you previously played. Unfortunately, the characters themselves both main and minor are uninteresting and undeveloped. The companions you hire have the same repetitive dialogues. Even previously played characters don't really talk much when visiting the locations, which they've seen before. You might get one line of dialogue from them. In my playthrough, there was only one instance of a second character interacting with another from their story. The main story itself is so shallow that it can as well be nonexistent. The gameplay is one the good parts of Weird West, but there's almost no reason to use most of its mechanics. By the end of the game, I was bored by gameplay. Fortunately, the last character's story was short. The biggest flaw of the game is the AI. Both enemies and companions are dumb. They can't jump or go over obstacles at all and if you reload the save for any reason, the enemies' AI can just stop working and they'll stay in place, doing nothing. Weird West also has a lot of glitches, despite being released almost two years ago. They are not game-breaking, but it's still a little frustrating. The worst one was when I got to a story town early, killed all the enemies, and then, when I came back to do the main quest, the character I was supposed to save who wasn't in town the first time said they despised me for not rescuing them. And as I understand it, they were supposed to show up later in the story after the rescue, but they didn't. In conclusion, I'd say that Weird West is a game of unrealised potential, but for the first game by this studio the result is great. I am sure that they got a few lessons from this and learnt from their mistakes. I am looking forward to the next game they make, because I'm confident it'll be great. Unfortunately, I can't recommend Weird West unless you're willing to put up with all the game's flaws. Personally, I was able to have fun, despite them.

Lots of the negative reviews call this game repetitive, but I think it's pretty well-paced. Different character's stories interact with different parts of the map. Of course you'll be disappointed if you take Jane through dozens of locations that have no story significance to her. The setting, music, and story are all awesome. There's some rough edges, but for the size of the studio I think it's a great achievement. Strong immersive sim.
