    World to the West is an adventure game is the same world of Teslagrad. Is does not come near the quality of that game though. It is best to look at Word to the West as a completely new game that is more similar to Zelda. World to the West is a decent game.

    The World to the West is a fun brain-teasing challenge which is worth a look for those who like to mix up their puzzling with some combat and exploration. It's no Zelda-beater, but for those seeking a PS4 alternative, you need only go West.

    After a couple of hours, World to the West opens up and becomes a thoroughly enjoyable, if a little repetitive experience.

    Minor niggles aside, I very much enjoyed exploring the World to the West and would certainly recommend it to others looking for an old-school Zelda-esque adventure to follow or distract from not having the sublime open world Breath of the Wild. It successfully captures the feel of a 16bit style adventure and combines this with charming characters and some great environmental ability-based puzzling.

    World to the West, despite improving the artistic style of Teslagrad, does not incorporate any gameplay mechanic that surpasses the impact of the original.

    World to the West is a good game with some lesser moments. It is great when it manages to produce the feeling of an epic adventure, but unfortunately it doesn’t always hit that mark.

    After Teslagrad we would expected really much more from Racing Games. World to the West is a nice game but with a lot of bad game design ideas. Splitting the party into four different entities was the worst thing to do and that lead to a tedious and unnecessary backtracking.

    Despite its ingenious puzzles, some good ideas and fun boss battles, World to the West fails in many aspects, such as story, exploration, and atmosphere. As if it wasn't enough, there are also some bugs, translation errors and unclear suggestions, which certainly do not help. However, it's still a title that fans of puzzle games and Teslagrad will probably enjoy.
