A great concept brought down by weak gunplay and stealth.

Weird West has a fantastic premise and story beats that get you interested in its world but its ultimately ruined by its gameplay mechanics.

Shooting never feel good, accurate or satisfying. Going for a slow as molasses Stealth approach requires patience fit for a saint since the NPCs all react erratically and your crouched movement is way too slow (even after upgrades). The immersive sim mechanics are fine. Your actions have some sort of consequence, making the world feel alive. The game shows promise and begins to get interesting but then you're brought down when you start to play it.

A disappointment. I can stomach a great story if the gameplay is at least average, but this game just isn't fun to play.
