    good stuff, takes itself a little more seriously than it's predecessor but still very funny. lots of dialogue options and very likable characters. the combat, equipment, and stats are very simple and stays enjoyable throughout the game. great western rpg even if not as literally as west of loathing

    Shadows over Loathing is a perfect sequel to West of Loathing, it improves in ever aspect the original game was good at without giving up the comical art and humour of the game.

    This is honestly a more better "West of Loathing" It also keeps true with its humour and art style, The content's length is probably multiplied by 10 yet it somehow isn't as boring over other games, There is so much things to do even when I have about 16 playthroughs there is still a lot to do with only the story a bit too wacky an absolute 9/10.

    Shadows over Loathing is an incredible game that deserves a perfect 10/10 rating! The enemies you encounter are charming and lovable, making battles a joy. The puzzles add fun challenges, though some need a guide to solve. It's the ideal sequel to West of Loathing, keeping the original game's humor while introducing new elements, such as being more story-focused.

The only complaint about the game is actually that it's so good that it actually makes West of Loathing seem terrible by comparison!… Expand

    It's a hell of an entertaining horror ride that should not be ignored by any admirers of slapstick humor. [Issue#324]

    In all, Shadows Over Loathing is a treat to play and is incredibly witty - the simple designs and graphics add to the game's charm rather than do damage to it, and with the exception of audio mixing the game is very well built. For anyone that likes rather wacky RPGs- the Roaring 20s and its hoards of jazz, hobos, and fishermen are waiting in Shadows Over Loathing.

    Shadows Over Loathing may be part of the Loathing franchise and reflect that silly yet deep gameplay we’ve come to know and love, but there’s something deeper to this world that we’ve yet to uncover. Although there’s plenty of laughs to be had here, there’s a bit more of a serious vibe to the third installment with some Lovecraftian overtones; it’s best to go into this one with a sense of curiosity instead of just waiting to be entertained.
