I was really excited for Weird West. The developer, WolfEye Studios, was founded by Raphael Colantonio, co-founder of Arkane Studios and director of Prey, which I personally consider one of the greatest video games in history. Ultimately, I did enjoy Weird West a lot, but its smaller scale meant that it was lacking in the genius level design and “holy shit” moments of games like Prey and Dishonored 2 (Dishonored 2 in particular has two of the most mind-bogglingly awesome levels I’ve ever played in a game).
Unfortunately, due to my own high expectations I felt a lot more disappointment than I might have otherwise by the end of my experience with Weird West. But especially if you’ve never played it, getting it for free is a no-brainer. Hope you enjoy!
