Highly recommend the first person POV mod (the top down perspective is decent, but feels less immersive and the combat is jankier). After that, you're playing a hidden gem in the imsim genre. I'm excited for this studio's next game; the bones are there.

Hands down one of the best immersive sim RPG experiences I have ever played despite its minor flaws. It's a game set in a (appropriately) weird variant of the Wild West centered around the origin stories of five different characters -- the individual narratives all coming to a unifying point by the end of the game. The overarching theme driving the whole game is the cherishing of the human condition and how vital it is to feel, to participate in the various facets of humanity regardless of how 'good' or 'bad' they would be perceived. How you should live life to the fullest and without regrest lest you resign yourself to an unfeeling future of "would've" and "should'ves", and I think the way the game reveals these themes to you over the course of the game is beautiful. Gameplay is much like what you'd expect in a conventional immersive sim. You have locations you can visit, you can chat, steal, loot, traverse and enter combat in many different ways with a lot of variety, which can be further altered through perks you acquire throughout the game. Combat can be all-in guns blazing, you can choose to meticulously knock out every single enemy, or you can simply choose to sneak on by most of the enemies altogether. The world is your objective to approach, and I think it's implemented impeccably well. However, do note, that if you would like to do a stealth oriented playthrough like I did, then there's going to be some small shortcomings that you might notice throughout the game. - No real ranged ways to non-lethally deal with enemies conveniently. Kind of sucks in terms of diversity of approachment, but not that big of a deal - Walk-cycles can be inconsistent between loads. This might suck if you prefer to learn the movement of enemies and then execute afterwords. Not a big deal, but it can be annoying. - No real way to know when enemies turn around. Most games don't tell you this to begin with, so this isn't a big deal on its own, but coupled with above, this can make some approaching wildly inconsistent. There's a few other minor things, but you get the gist of it being a combination of minor things building on top of one another that hampers a stealth playthrough, because it biases heavily towards quick-saving and quick-loading, which can kind of suck given some areas take longer to load than others. I feel if stealth felt more fully integrated into the game it'd be even more of an all-timer than it is already. Actual combat, however is really fun. Your aiming follows a twin-stick shooter kind of formula, with various character specific abilities alongside shooting, along with perks further modifying the overall offensive capabilities that you can dish out. Being able to take out 2+ enemies because you slo-mo dodged into a dive is really fun. You can also throw out dynamite clusters if you have them to unleash even more mayhem, all the while bullets are flying all over the place. It makes for some genuinely tense and exciting encounters. Overall, for the first game released by Wolfeye Studio, they totally, utterly, and fundamentally, knocked it out of the park. Being able to craft such a thoroughly lore and history filled world with compelling characters and a solid narrative is not easy, but they managed to do it on their first go at it. I'd highly recommend giving this game a shot if you feel even a slight bit of interest. You won't regret it.

PROS: - The atmosphere and story are engaging - Combat stays balanced/challenging - Upgrades and new powers are given at a good pace CONS: - Inventory management - Mouse controls are a bit wonky

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.
