An adventure might feel like it took 20 minutes, but for the character, it’s been a week. Similarly, time passes as players travel from town to abandoned mine and back to town. Weird West takes the same approach to travel as the original Fallout, where each location is its own zone that players have to travel between on the map. Only a corner of the game’s sizable map is visible - though it’s not like you’ll actually see every inch of it. In a moment that hooked me into the game, I realized that I had turned a major boss into a simple paycheck.Īt this point, traveling across the West is at its most exciting.

Players start off as a woman whose husband is kidnapped, forcing her to pick up her guns and return to her bounty hunting ways as she tracks the villains that took her man.ĭuring this first adventure, the West is large, scary, and strange.

Instead, Weird West‘s take on a fictional American frontier meets Dungeons & Dragons hosts the most engaging stories, even when it shows its janky side. It clearly has Dishonored‘s bones, offering players multiple ways to sort out encounters, though it lacks the same polish. Weird West, an immersive sim from two of the minds behind Dishonored, is a much more unique story. That’s how I was originally sold on Weird West.īut Weird West is not a cowboy game.
