Needs improvement

The game's very blurry on my quad hd monitor, all the resolutions they support are not quite the aspect ratio I have on my 2560x1600 monitor. I also can't leave the game to check messages or anything, I have to actually quit to get back to my desktop on OS X El Capitan.

Starts Okay, Declines Quickly

The game starts out promising enough with competent tactical combat but that's really all the game offers. Other elements of gameplay are clunky and bland. After about ten hours of play, the tactical combat gets repetitive That is nothing to say of the casual cruelty and racism. Being kind, the way the game handles genocide is culturally insensitive I love this kind of game, but I don't even really like this

Teh suck

The roleplaying parts are WTF text-based 1980 dungeun crawler shit, that you just wish to end ASAP by random clicking so you can get to the next combat situation. The combat is iffy as fuck and more frustrating than entertaining. Make a mistake - those are, by the way, exceedingly easy to make - and you have to restart it. And I dont talk about like boss battles or anything. No, every single battle is fucked if you clicked wrong. I would rate this game three if it wasnt because of the hype, because I was expected like baldurs gate roleplaying combined with shadowrun combat. This is a game that a narrow group of players who like gameplay like this will find exciting, but its not for anyone else.

Too big a game for GOG

Too big a game to get from GOG. Doesn't come with steam key. I don't want to wait 24 hours to download this shit from GOG servers, guess I'm buying it from steam as well.

Too Heavy With Occultism

This is not a rant, it's a warning. The game "Hard West" goes from dark, to darker, then drops into a deepening chasm of the occult and satanic ritual. It also incorporates tobacco, booze, drug use, sorcery, witchcraft, shamanism, and outright satanic rites which include human sacrifices. The art, graphics, and game play were very enjoyable, but the fun petered away when npc's turned into demon princes, and the few decent npc's in the game were either persecuted, or murdered by you the player to progress or complete the story/episode. I could not in good concience bring myself to finish a game that encourged my character, me as a player, or both to compromise faith, values (on such a deep level), or conviction.
