So much of the world is made up of unmemorable towns, temples, and outposts. As for the level design, players will see a lot of copy-pasted levels throughout their journey.
The game’s stealth mechanics aren’t responsive and oftentimes succumb to the game’s jank, leaving players better off just shooting their way through a stealth mission. There’s the occasional ambush, raid, and stealth quest but similar to the skills system, there’s a lot to be desired with these encounters. The gameplay loop sees players traveling from map marker to map marker to go on fetch quests they need to progress the story. So using weapons becomes the most viable option available for the moment-to-moment gameplay which in turn makes every character feel the same. That inefficiency is oftentimes due to the clunky combat which has a severe lack of depth. A lot of the character-unique skills aren’t that particularly interesting, efficient, or economical to use. However, the problem lies in how imbalanced the two systems are. So the werewolf can be a gunslinger if the player wishes it so, which sounds like a fun idea.
With the exception of a handful of unique skills, all characters have the same skill trees and the same access to weapons. The game makes the questionable choice of allowing these characters to play very similarly. Such distinct characters would normally offer players diversified experiences but Weird West struggles to make these experiences unique. You play as a bounty hunter, a human-turned-pig man, an archer, a werewolf, and a witch in that order. The player is given the reigns of 5 different characters whose stories intersect in some form. Werewolves, sorcerers, zombies, wendigos, and other monstrosities inhabit this unruly land but it’s also not without your cowboys, gunslingers, trappers, and outlaws. A repetitive gameplay loop, a cast of playable characters with little to no distinction from one another, clunky combat, and a tedious quest system all make Weird West an underwhelming experience.ĭeveloped by the creators of the Dishonored and Prey games under their new company Wolfeye Studios, Weird West is a supernatural reenvisioning of the American myths of the Wild West. The film is currently available to rent on YouTube for $3.For all its immersive sim flourishes, Weird West falls short of being the engrossing experience it promises to be.

Wrong Turn received a 40% on Rotten Tomatoes, but had gained a cult following over the years.
