When you first start you likely won’t be able to tell Yeb from Inun and read news reports on mine crawler outbreaks with a look of blank confusion.
People discuss the strange things of the weird west as if they were perfectly natural which, to be fair, it is to them. I’m honestly in love with most of the writing here. That is your story, and going from character to character, narrative to narrative, is itself part of that story. Each of the five playable characters has their own personal story with a beginning and end, but across them all there is also a second narrative about the brand that appeared on each of them at the start of their quest, the force controlling their actions, and the reasons why. Occult rituals, horrifying monsters, and ancient powers are everywhere, and you’re a part of that. See, this isn’t your normal wild west story. This is her story as the first playable character in Weird West… but it is not, strictly speaking, your story. As soon as she’s up, Jane wastes no time in digging up her old six-shooter and embarking on a quest of revenge against the Stillwaters. Outside, the Stillwater gang has just killed her son and is in the process of kidnapping her husband. Five Western Nightsįormer bounty hunter turned ranch owner Jane Bell awakens from a weird dream involving hooded figures and a room with five portraits to the pain of a brand magically searing itself onto her neck. The Steam version was played for this review.
Weird West launched for PS4, Xbox One, and Steam on March 31, 2022. Then of course I saw in the trailer that you could be a werewolf, and I just had to give it a shot. Weird West is also an immersive sim just like Arkane’s previous titles Dishonored and Prey, but this time departing from the usual first-person shooter trappings of the genre to go with a more isometric RPG approach. What first caught my attention was the developer, Wolfeye Studios, being made of former Arkane Studios developers. Few games have been as much of a roller coaster for me as Weird West.
