Hard West 2

Gameplay is pretty tight, has its issues with how target visibility and heights work together which makes for some frustrating moments. Bravado combos are satisfying to pull off, getting creative with character unique skills is rewarding and encourages player experimentation (Shadow Swap, Decoy, Transfusion). Player build system is ok, you are provided a guide on poker hands to help the unfamiliar. Can feel quite stilted at the beginning due to card availability. Once truly online (full hands for 4 characters) the combat is at its best. Companion loyalty system is ok. Its pretty basic, you earn points based on binary decisions in dialogue. Maximizing loyalty with companions does offer good perks to use in combat so is necessary for top level play. The story is alright. Some of the voice acting is god awful. "Do you hear the trumpet?" <- this line sounds like the guy was actually drunk when he recorded it. The enemies sound so unbelievably lame that I could not take them serious in any way. 7/10, would be an 8 if the voice acting for the enemies wasnt so terrible.

Good x-com type game, simple, but nice plot. No critical bugs were met. 7/10

A big improvement over Hard West 1 and an above average tactical/RPG/turn based combat game. A very unique setting with great characters and a world map to travel around from town to town as you battle bandits and supernatural. Excellent music and sound effects, too. An overall very good piece of game design.

Entertaining game. A nice tactical shooter. The plot and gameplay is straightforward, but enjoyable. The card system is nice, but feels like it could be further developed. The game hangs around just long enough to want to finish and stays fun all the way through. Those that are familiar with XCOM style gameplay will want to start on Hard. Out of all the missions, I maybe had to retry 2 of them. The nightmare mode and the turn limit mode may be required for those looking for a real challenge. Definitely a recommended purchase when on sale.

Cool Bland Boring Even though I’m a big fan of turn-based tactics games, the gameplay in this one is pretty mehiocre. It’s basically just moving forward and going pew pew with not much anything interesting to interact with on the map. There’s barely any tactical depth or interesting mechanics.

Пошаговая тактическая игра по геймплею схожая с X-COM в сеттинге вестерна с паранормальными силами. В ходе игры постоянно подкидывают новые возможности развития в виде оружия, развития напарников, снаряжения. Благодаря этому и тому, что игра весьма короткая по длительности, устать не успеваешь. С первой частью не особо прям связана историей, поэтому можно спокойно проходить отдельно.

Не плохая пошаговая стратегия, не топовая, но для недорогих игр очень даже, короче достойное продолжение первой части.
