Critic Reviews for Weird West
Weird West is a brilliant execution of immersive sim principles in an isometric environment.
Look past the murky aesthetic and clunky combat: this is an exciting fusion of immersive sim and CRPG.
A bold, atmospheric yet dissatisfying ensemble RPG shooter, full of untapped promise.
Weird West's five dark-fantasy adventures contain a wagonload of bizarre encounters, twists, and reveals, and its stealth and chaotic combat are challenging but come with the built-in safety nets of unlimited slow-motion and an old-school quickload system.
Weird West has the ambition of a much larger game, and has made smart choices to be able to meet it.
Regardless, developer Wolfeye Studios has crafted one hell of a debut release. Weird West subverts expectations, twisting well-trodden cowboy tropes into dark fantasy vignettes brought to life by immersive sandbox elements.
Weird West slings a few effective yarns, but fumbles when it comes to dealing in lead.
Weird West offers up a world of intrigue with a terrific blend of classic Western fiction and supernatural elements, with a lot of enjoyable story bits and and a world that can change on a whim, but it's one whose awkward combat and bugs make for a bit of an uphill battle when it comes to truly enjoying this world. WolfEye should definitely be commended for their ambition and unique ideas, and the end result is still an enjoyable game, just one that could have used some extra spit and polish.
