    Not the best at the things it does, but overall an enjoyable experience with a lot of freedom.

    It's a little buggy with some AI issues but overall it's an enjoyable Action-RPG. If you are looking for a refreshing experience, this game is for you.

    Honestly Its not a game for everyone. But if you like thick atmosphere of dusty old west with same feeling of old game structure. Where game threat you as equal, and grown man with knowledge how things work. Belive me. This unpolished, rough and bulky game will take a warn spot in your heart.

    No, its a game about jorney, and dramma of jorney shoudnt be corrupted by blockbuster logic.
    yet bugs is your companions since first moment. Its full 20+ hours story based in-sim indie after all, its really cool and sad moment that people threat this game as some wide mass product.    … Expand

    I want to support the first independent project of a wonderful developer - Raphael Colantonio. If you wanted to try Divinity, but you were scared off by the high entry threshold and the massive rpg component - WEIRD WEST is the best the industry has to offer at the moment. Plus of course immersive gameplay is a rarity nowadays.

    Metacritic, where people leave negative reviews without playing the game. I pity these people. Weird West is unique and the type of game I wish we had more of these days. Impactful choices, solid writing, abundant interactivity, interesting quests, enticing random encounters, promised post-launch content, good atmosphere, immersion, etc. The only demerits are the clunky controls, lack ofMetacritic, where people leave negative reviews without playing the game.

    Great game, made by talented and passionate people. Freedom and choice are the key words. I love the art direction, the atmosphere, the combat, the replay value... everything is so polished and well crafted. Wolfeye's first game just checks all the boxes for me. Highly recommend this gem.

    Shockingly surprised in a good way. 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.

    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

    Weird west is a game that's was created to finish the "gamer syndrome", He is a Good Game where your decisions could change the end and the story, your story maybe take a little longer to get on rails but when it get you feel curious about the plot and, honestly, I liked to the plot twist. The combat and gameplay are fluid and exciting for a RPG, this game deserves a chance and your time!

    Why is it a great game? If you grit your teeth, Weird West offers fantastic gameplay and a very original take on the story. Don't be afraid of it. Don't be afraid to go west and grow with the strange land. [Issue#319]

    Weird West is a game that players can grow to love, provided you can forgive some of its issues and design decisions. The idea of going through five different protagonists with somewhat connected stories is fascinating, but the resetting of items and skills when changing characters doesn't contribute to the desire to explore. The lands don't vary much given the setting, but the changes based on your actions are fun to see. The combat is fine, but the enemy behavior can sometimes be laughable, while the presentation teeters between amazing and average. It's worth checking out if you're prepared to invest some time waiting for its magic to hit.
