Like any RPG, there’s a weight system, but it felt like I was constantly at max capacity (with no way to increase it) as I’m juggling items between various inventories of me, my horse, and any companion I have with me.Įventually I hit a point where I realized the way to avoid this was to stop picking things up.
Additionally, Weird West makes the grave RPG sin of having you deal with a clunky inventory system. “Why are these shared abilities transferable between characters, but these aren’t?” It’s just an odd choice in the game’s RPG system that feels contradictory.

I felt like I could only unlock a small handful of abilities in the active skill tree with each character, and it was frustrating having to spend resources to unlock the same pistol upgrade I’d unlocked multiple times before. The passive ability tree (better lockpicking, health, etc) is shared across characters and feels like it’s paced well with how far you can progress in it with each character, but the active ability tree doesn’t. Each character features a set of unique abilities, like the Pigman can bullrush enemies, or the bounty hunter can charm enemies, but they all share the same weapon abilities which made it feel odd that those don’t stay unlocked across characters. On top of that, the game features an RPG system where you’ll unlock abilities in two separate skill trees: an active one for the character you’re currently playing and a passive one that’s shared among the five protagonists. It honestly never stops feeling cool as all hell, especially when you do stuff like dive through a window into a room some goons are in and giving them the business end of your shotgun. Isometric Max Payne still feels like the best way to describe how Weird West plays, as you spend the majority of your fights in slo-mo dives unloading an unhealthy amount of bullets into the nearest enemy.

Regardless, the world does a good job at poking your curiosity as you might discover an abandoned town full of zombies that might be hiding some good loot.
Unfortunately, the longer I played the more the surprise wore off as I started to encounter the same scenarios over and over again. As you move across the world, surprise encounters are waiting to pop up from random merchants looking to sell their goods, ambushes, or witches performing a ritual to summon a ghost. Thankfully the cave was totally empty besides a trove of jewels, but it left me curious at the thought of whether another player might have stumbled onto a tough fight instead. There’s a lot of really well-done environmental storytelling in these areas, as I happened upon a cave one time, hinting at the possibility of treasure or a frightening creature. The world itself features a pseudo-open world format with this map to explore, with points of interest popping up as you move around it. There’s always some off-kilter detail to find that adds a lot of personality to the game’s world. Weird West is probably one of the most realized worlds I’ve seen in a minute, with piles of books to comb through or newspaper articles to read. The beginning storyline with the bounty hunter isn’t particularly engaging, but the following ones more than make up for it with tales of a Pigman who’s trying to remember who he was before his transformation or an indigenous hunter searching for the spirit of a wendigo. Weird West features five separate storylines that you’ll work through before culminating together at the end, with an overarching mystery of why all these characters are connected. Weird West, the debut game from former Arkane Studio developers, now in the newly christened WolfEye studios, thrusts you into a dark fantasy world that blends the occult and the wild west.
