A fun addition to a good game
Reckonin' at Gun Manor is (so far) the (only) DLC for West of Loathing, maybe they'll add regions to the Desolate Lonesome Coast (get it?), but not right now. It took its sweet time to come over here, over a year tp be precise. Is the wait worth the hype? Well mostly yes. The expansion is a self-contained side chapter where you explore and exorcise a ghost manor with your pardner and a ghost hunter, of course with many puzzles, fights, easter eggs and several gags and puns. Not only that but also new items, some of them beeffing you up like crazy or bestowing new boons. You can tackle it anytime during your quest and it will scale to your level. As always, there are two ways for everything, either brains or brawns, brains being usually the longer but funnier route. As you "help" the ghosts pass on this mortal coil, you'll unravel the mystery of Gun Manor. There's is not that much to say without spoiling the whole experience, frankly. It still employs the usual WoL formula. Worth mentioning is that your temporary pardner, Florence, will unlock some crazy powers by leveling up and can be useful in either stalling, healing of buffing, she brings also a new type of color commentary in each room and after many ghost quests. Also, you can farm-fight bowling balls for items. Yes, it's a thing. All in all I'd say this adventure lasts around 5 hours, give or take and maybe not full price, but at a discount is definitely a fine addition, the new assets and dialogs keeping firmly in tone with the nonsensical "Loathing" universe. The new tunes are pretty cool, kudos to Ryan Ike. Why only 4 stars after all the praise? Well for starters I think 4bux is a little high asking. My second reason is that it's still a little short and the "closure" is a little unsatisfactory... If you enjoyed WoL, get it (maybe on sale), it's a mighty good ride for a mighty good game.
