Impulsively purchased it on sale without prior research and lots of expectations, however, I just couldn’t believe my eyes once I first launched the game.
   
   First of all, design is stunning. The unique comic art style is quite bold and along takes the lead in vibe setting, while complimenting colour palette is eye catching.
   
   The introduction phase of the game is intuitive and doesn’t leave the newcomer struggling, yet, it takes it easy and lets the player soak in the atmosphere of setting. Its pleasant, that developers didn’t follow modern trend of games literally pulling players immediately into action without proper prelude just for the sake of being engaging. User interface and hints are very intuitive, colourful and well animated. Asking user to press escape key to read some hint then to press escape key to close it is perfect example since it’s not pulling out the player from action mid game, yet assures user will read information at some point. Default key binds are amazing and didn’t have a need to reassign anything so far. Intentionally won’t cover storyline for this review not to fall under spoiler, however so far it has been able to keep me interested and reading every dialogue available. As a person who walked through Red Dead Redemption 2 completely I can definitely pledge this game easily beats Read Dead Redemption 2 storyline, which would be predictable, repeatable, lacking logic and infantile in comparison to storyline of this masterpiece.
   
   This game is definitely going to be in a handful list of memorisable games for me. I would be really humbled and heart touched to see project growing and evolving without taking detours to toxic practices, such as NFTs, micro-transactions, packs, cash grabs and other practices which ruin gaming industry for both players and developers. Instead, I believe physical merch, and a dozen of DLCs would impact this marvellous project quite positively.… Expand

   Still a good game and worthy of its price tho… Expand

   Weird west is a indie game that overcharges, promises too much, and falls flat in nearly every aspect.

   The gameplay loop gets old FAST and there's not much variety to the combat, even between characters. The lore and world building is barely there. I was hyped to deep dive the lore only to find the game doesn't even have people talking about it. Combat is either WAY too hard or WAY too easy. I either find myself not using any heals, or items, maybe one ability. Couple minutes later? Boss is over here 1 shotting me. It's just so wishy-washy and it seems like they really couldn't nail what they were going for, so everything became spread too thin.
   
   This is further exacerbated by the story being split into multiple characters, who all have the same stats and weapon loadouts, and for the most part have the same skills. It's really lackluster and losing hours of progress to further a story that seems to NOT be the focus of the game, isn't fun. There is a "recruit previous character" option usually, but the game makes it a point to try and turn them against eachother. You cannot switch characters at will, and the characters that join your party are not controlled by you. If they die, they die.
   
   There's really no "immersive sim" elements here. You can't just put one or two mechanics in that have that genre style and call it an immersive sim. I feel more immersed playing desert bus simulator than this buggy, repetitive, unbalanced mess.
   
   If this had been a 20$ game I probably wouldn't be hitting the thumbs down, but the game really doesn't have enough focus to be worth paying 40$ for.
   
   Oh, and "choices matter" just boils down to you getting a message from some person saying "thank you for helping me" or "im coming for you" it's really barebones.
   
   I love Devolver, but I honestly think it was a mistake publishing this. Feels very Lionhead, Fable scenario.… Expand

The writing is really thin and strung out; it's a lot of time spent with little going on. There are two problems with Weird West: it takes too long to get to the comparatively good parts and the comparatively good parts are actually pretty bad.… Expand
