The Old West has always been a bit weird though, hasn’t it? Heroes, villains, murder, mayhem and robberies. It is described as an immersive sim by WolfEye Studios. Your job is to survive and discover the mysteries through the intertwining stories of five separate and unusual heroes. Gunslingers are just one part of the population in this world that also includes werewolves, witches, pigmen, cultists, ghosts and other supernatural/wild creatures ripped from fables and nightmares. Weird West is a single player dark reimagining of the Wild West genre. I already have a soft spot for Devolver Digital games, so I had an idea of what I was getting into and with the two former Arkane Studios veterans that started WolfEye Studios, there is a lot of knowledge behind this new studio already. These first games are often passion projects, games that have been worked on and tweaked so many times, just waiting for their big entry into the world. I always love covering first games from studios, getting in on the bottom floor and ready to see what they have been working hard on. Weird West is developer WolfEye Studios' first game, and as such I always look for something that gives me an indication of what the studio's identity is, what makes them stand out in the sea of content out there. It took over a lot of my thoughts like a strange dream that I just couldn’t put into words after waking up.

Not because I didn’t like it, but I have developed such a complex relationship with this game that I’m not sure how to put it all into words. This review took me far longer than anything I’ve written before. When I was presented with the opportunity to tackle Weird West, a game that brings together the supernatural and western genres, and has Devolver Digital as its publisher, of course I jumped at it.
Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Supernatural, Western, Medieval, Guns, Bows, Magic - I love all of it. I also love short indie games, of course, but something about being part of a giant story experience will always draw me in. Something I can get caught up and lost in for hours. My primary love is large open world games with great characters and stories. If you were to ask me to list some of my favourite games, you’d see a wide variety of genres and styles.
