Not fun west. As an old man, I appreciate the nod to the old isometric games and twin stick shooters of the past. The thing is, I did not like those games much back then. The fully 3D environment is nice. Just turn your camera, and you isometric view changes. The tiny characters are not nice. What am I looking at? No idea. They are all just tiny figures from where I am sitting.
The crux of the problem with this twin stick shooter is not enough twin stick shooting. The player character runs out of ammo all the time. Another problem is adding a stealth element. The characters are just too small to know when the window for a stealth attack starts or where the cone of vision starts. On top of all that, the game is a little glitchy. In one section, I was trying a stealthy approach, messed up, and reloaded. The game tells you to save and reload to try different approaches. How nice of them. Except my reload started with an entire compound on alert and the law after me. Thanks for nothing.
The trappings of the game rubbed me the wrong way. The lack of voice acting, the sound effects, and even the look and feel of the world were all grating to my senses. Style is a personal taste and I do appreciate the attention to detail that went into the game world. Objects can be carried and thrown. Barrels can be kicked over. Graves can be dug. So even though I did not enjoy this game, I can see the value to someone else, and thus this game falls on the good side of mediocre.
Full disclosure: I downloaded this game from the PS+ Essential monthly game offering.
I am not liking this game at all. Not finding it enjoyable to play.I don't like the controls the camera angle makes it so hard to see. And I am just finding the game rather boring.Majority of the loot is terrible just junk you sell for $1 each and everything costs so much to buy. I didn't have enough money to continue the main quest and had to do other **** companions are useless. They just stand there in full view, blasting away, they don't dodge or try to avoid getting shot. It's an absolute pain trying to protect them, they are more a hindrance than a **** don't earn XP or level up in the usual way you have to find relics and golden cards for abilities and perks and better gear. That isn't a fun way to play for ****'s not a game I want to keep playing as it doesn't feel rewarding or fun or exciting, just boring and repetitive. Every area looks the same, everything is rehashed. Can't recommend this game, it's just not enjoyable to play.
