Weird West

Weird West is an isometric role-playing game full of blood and brutality. The project was made by the former head of the Arkane studio, known for Dishonored and Prey, so the emphasis is on immersion and the consequences of decisions. Each chapter begins with a new hero whose story is connected to the others. The world is full of random encounters, and each one can end differently. The journey goes through prairies, towns and mines, where a variety of people live. The action takes place in the Wild West, where creatures from legends live alongside cowboys. The world reacts to actions: relations with factions change, and the fate of characters depends on the player’s actions. Abilities vary widely: from a well-aimed shot to supernatural skills. Stealth is encouraged, but there is also a reward for being noisy. The story is told in several chapters on behalf of different heroes, and between them new circumstances are revealed. Stealth, gunplay, and abilities allow you to complete missions in different ways. The world reacts to cruelty: settlements become empty, but residents remember their actions. Sometimes it is beneficial to save the enemy's life in order to obtain information. The style emphasizes the gloom of what is happening, and the music adds to the mood. Updates have expanded the storylines. Leveling up is a matter of practice, and equipment is acquired as you go. The chapters are interconnected, and the decisions are carried forward. For those players who love immersive stories, this West is suitable. Updates added modes and balance changes. Patches added complexity and interface changes.
