![]() ![]() Weird West’s writing is splendid, but it’s used sparingly. The tutorial, for example - usually my most hated element of any game - is wedgied out almost over the breadth of the entire first campaign, with succinct little explainer boxes popping up so infrequently that they never seem to break the flow of the action. Where it really does offer a light touch, however, is in how many of the traditional RPG hard edges it polishes away, or at least makes a fair go at bevelling, so you can devote your brain to the genuinely interesting challenge of murdering cannibal outlaws. ![]() And I don’t mean that in the sense that it offers flimsy barriers to progression: it’s respectably tough in the traditional sense. But unless the other four are all set in a Tesco car park or something, I can heartily recommend it to you. The build I played only featured one of the game’s five character campaigns, admittedly. Because while Weird West does involve all those things (and features even more emergent complexity than the hefty dose I’d anticipated, to boot) I have not had a smoother time getting into a game in a long while. ![]() I’m delighted to say, however, that I was completely wrong. And however promising a sprawling, top-down immersive sim set in a world of haunted stetsons sounded, I was certain it would involve a lot of fiddling about with inventories, reading long screeds of text, and going on sidequests. Time and time again, I’ll get right to the point of hitting play on something, before convincing myself - completely unreasonably - that it’ll probably be a load of hassle for moderate reward. But more than that, I was worried I’d have to… well, make an effort.įor whatever reason, my enthusiasm to start new games has been taking one of its periodic dips over the last month or so, leaving me in the comforting arms of old favourites I can play on autopilot. Primarily, this was because I loved the game’s concept so much (“What if Dishonored and Desperadoes III had a rooting tooting baby, then let it watch way too many horror movies?”), that I didn’t really want to face the possibility that developers WolfEye Studios might have fallen short on it.
