While there is a voiced narrator, who does a really good job I might add, I do wish this game had full voice acting to punch up a few moments and give more personality to its collective of interesting individuals, and also, who doesn't want to hear a pigman talk? Come on, you know you do. I’ll also stress that while each of the five characters have interesting tales to be told, I wasn’t fully invested in the final two, which have some good moments, but don’t quite get as fleshed out as I would have liked. I will say that despite that praise, the ways in which some stories connect feel a tad copied and pasted in some character dialogue that feels like there could have been stronger narrative threads to connect each story. Whether it is tracking down your missing husband, or trying to find out why you've been magically turned into a talking pigman, I found each story to be captivating due to some intriguing ideas, supernatural elements, interesting characters, and some solid writing. While their core narratives of revenge and justice are largely seperate, their destinies are intertwined in ways that bring them together, even if that sounds more impressive than it ends up being, at least initially.Įach of your protagonists, of which you'll play in sequence, carry with them some motive to explore its wild west and dynamically changing environments that twist based on your actions. Weird West tells the loosely interconnected story of five strangers united by a brand that mysteriously appears on their neck, a narrative that is spurred by a group of equally mysterious figures centered around a cloaked individual, who is apparently you, sat in a chair, surrounded by portraits of your five heroes, if you can even call them that. Weird West, the first game by WolfEye Studios, may not initially mean anything to anyone by name, but when you toss out that it's led by Raphaël Colantonio, the founder of Arkane Studios, known for his work on Prey, and Dishonored, then suddenly Weird West becomes a must-play title that often shines in its strategic elements and supernatural thrills, but does suffer from a few growing pains in creating a whole new potential franchise.
