“Weird West was so much better than I expected! It's like a mashup of Shadow Tactics, Hard West, Dishonored, and Baldur's Gate. At first it seems like a typical top-down rpg, but it also features realtime gunfights and…”
“A surprisingly deep homage to Fallout 2’s wild random encounters, wrapped in the kind of player freedom only classic Fallout and Dishonored (same devs!) used to capture. Beneath the “Weird” lies a world of oddly…”

“Immersive sim that seems kinda bare bones at first but once you start getting into various gameplay mechanics it become super fun. Either run and gun, shoot everything, or stealthily get rid of all enemies (even bosses)…”

“Really enjoyed this top down game more than I expected. Excellent camera movabiiity. Fun, good controls, good story, exploration. Solid. Very impressed. Now I got to see if they made more of this game? Part 2? Awesome.”

“I refunded this: 5 minutes into the tutorial opening scene, the character went flying into the air for no apparent reason - I mean flying like a rocket, until the map shrank and disappeared. Pressing the "S" key made…”

“So, this is a good game... but there are caveats! If you want to play this game as designed, it asks a lot from you as a PC gamer. It's asking you to use a twin-stick shooting system, (if you use controllers) or a 3rd…”

“Absolutely love the artstyle, the aesthetic and the lore -- definitely has 'Arkane' written all over it. The setting is by far the coolest Weird West setting I've come across. But the gameplay doesn't quite have the…”

“An action RPG set in the wild west mixed with a little bit of magic, mystery, and death. PROS ★ Just starting the game up, the art-style is the highlight of the game. It's comic-like style are really akin to…”
“I want to be completely honest about this game: it has some good ideas, but the progression feels clunky. The main character is cool, but it throws me off that her voice actor is a man, I mean, what’s up with that?…”
“an uninteresting story, half baked combat system, an uncomfortable map and travel system. just an odd game.”

“This game has the makings of a modern classic if it was paced better. That's what really kills it. But the immersive sim elements are so, so strong. And I actually really enjoy the twin-stick shooter gameplay. The…”

“I can't believe people made such a big deal out of the multiple protagonist mechanic. To me it worked really well, it even reminded me of the old Call of Duty games where you play multiple soldiers all working towards the same goal. This game really is the best of Prey and…”
— a player, Steam review · 17 hrs played“[h1]The first rodeo[/h1] Weird West is one of those games I vaguely remembered for overall positive reception around the time of its initial release as “impressive RPG debut”.

— a player, Steam review · 30 hrs played“I tried with this game, I really did. But unfortunately, it just wasn't for me. There are a lot of neat concepts within the game, but to me, they all feel half baked. Progression feels like a slog, and the combat doesn't feel very rewarding. Stealth is OP, which is fine, but…”
