Weird West Review

Mar 31, 2022

Immersion doesn’t have to rely on the first-person perspective to be effective, and Weird West is evidence of that. WolfEye Studios, made up of former Arkane developers who know the genre, have made an immersive sim through the guise of an action RPG. This genre-bending oddity of a game shouldn’t work, but it thankfully does. This is due to the multiple protagonists and bizarre, yet engaging world that is molded by your actions or inactions. Weird West is every bit the isometric wild west Dishonored you think it is, but manages to keep some of its secrets to be discovered by experimenting through its gameplay.
