I had a lot of fun with this game.
The story was very weak, but the gameplay was great. If you like the norse God of War games, you'll like the combat in this game.
Upgrades actually meant something, with every upgrade giving stuff like new moves or actual noticeable effects. And the game consistently gives new weapons, tools and enemies types to fight. Never making the combat dull.
I also really like how you can reset your upgrades and skill trees, and wish more games allowed you to do this. Skill points are pretty rare, so I really appreciate that you can just get them back if you get an upgrade you end up not liking. Since you likely won't get all abilities in one playthrough.
I have seen a lot of problems with the enemy variety, which I understand. But in my opinion, it's compensated by the weapon and location variety. For a Wild West game, I'm so glad I wasn't just in a desert the entire time. Environments were diverse, lush and kept he game from getting repetitive.
And due to you constantly getting new weapons and new attacks, fighting enemies again didn't feel like a chore. Since you could take them down in a new way almost every time
The game was also a perfect length, where it ends at just the right time, since it ended around the moment where I was hoping for it to wrap up. For it's $50 price, that might be a negative. But it ended at a point where I felt satisfied, but still wanting more. Which is the perfect feeling to end a game in my opinion.
I wouldn't mind a sequel or DLC, which the ending did hint at. But they are going to have to diversify the enemy roster if they did.
