Picked it up, 1. For the unique fantasy western setting and 2. Because at the time I thought immersive sim basically just meant “good video game.” The game is a dissappointing mess. As far as I played (through Chapter 2) the story was bare bones, the characters were so stodgy and lacking in any passion or enthusiasm, not helped by the lack of real animation or voice acting. The RPG elements are non existent, all you have is a fairly basic perk system which I honestly just stopped caring to spec into once I had my health and sneak attacks. Combat is probably the best part of it, but even then the “immersive sim” aspects are basic, shoot red barrels for explosion, shoot green barrels for poison, etc.. you never get any of those chain reactions you get playing something like Metal Gear Solid V, and honestly after a certain point I found myself just falling back on sneak attacks since they’re so much more powerful than every other option.
