This game is janky, but for me it's a comfort jank. It's the kind of jank that reminds me of playing shooters when I was a kid; when the enemy was hard but the AI was bad, so I could snipe from roofs and enemies didn't know how to react. It's a jank that makes me feel smart when I figure out how to game it to my advantage to overcome difficult challenges. It's the rare good jank that makes me love it all the more. Jank aside, I loved it from start to finish. The atmosphere and direction are immaculate, the concept is fun and rewarding, and it kept me hooked until I rolled credits on the DLC. One of the most cost-effective purchases I've ever made on steam with an account value of multiple thousands of dollars. I would love to have more games in the horror / stealth / loot / western genre this game is pioneering; it feels like it was made for me. A+ stuff dev team. <3

its hard to put into words why I love this game other than it scratches an itch that isn't captured by enough games. It's an open world stealth shooter that remind me of how the good parts of Hunt: Showdown felt. It feels like someone describing a game with much higher highs and lower lows that were lost in the translation. It doesn't fail to meet the expectations, but it feels like its missing a few core mechanics and scale that it tempts at achieving, and leaves a game that is just a solid stream of dopamine hits and rather low aspirations. I didn't leave the main campaign saying "man i wish this was still going" but instead "man i wish there was more going on." The core gameplay loop of this game is so satisfying. Headshots feel good to land, stealth is comically simple, but still makes it fun to navigate unfamiliar areas unseen. Loot is always a fun game to manage with ammo having a suitable progression of scarcity. The story does the job, but is ultimately not the focus and the game lets you know that pretty quick. Voice acting is unexpectedly good with some familiar names. I think not enough praise is going towards the sound design and music too. The music is very atmospheric and stayed in my head for a while after playing, while the sfx do a ton of lifting to make the weapons feel like the impact they have. The game isn't without problems. Stealth is still stupidly simple with no real wrenches thrown into the mix. Every enemy can be dealt with the exact same way which, while fun, is repetitive and i could not blame someone for getting bored of it. The weapons are also a bit of a missed opportunity. The game offers a good amount of variety in weapon types, but fails with unique special weapons within those types. You can find unique weapons with specific stats to encourage certain playstyles. This is good... if there was enough of them. There is really only 1 or 2 unique versions of each weapon and most of them can be obtained very early. There is only 1 unique revolver in the cowboy yeehaw game which feels like a sin in my eyes. I don't know why there wasn't more variety offered to spice up the selections. What is offered is very good, and i loved the unique weapons that are in the game, but I think there could easily be more. I love this game. It has been rotating in my brain like a microwave and I have been craving a game that scratches the same neuron it did. I would highly recommend it to anyone who enjoys the aesthetic, old school shooters, or just enjoys playing a stealth archer in skyrim. newblood does not miss.

Do yourself a favor and play this game on a custom difficulty, with enemy damage at %200 and enemy health at %60-%70. This is the closest thing I've found to a single player version of Hunt: Showdown, so if you're into slow firing, heavy hitting weapons being used against swamp monsters and eldritch horrors, this is a game for you. Admittedly, the stealth isn't complex, the AI isn't that good, and a good chunk of exploration rewards nothing more than stuff you'll sell for currency. But behind all of that is a very fun shooter that you sorta have to work with to find the beauty for. Don't try to be super stealthy, don't try to use melee weapons for everything. Go in and start blasting fools away. Its a lot of fun and the more chaotic moments can often bring me back to the same feelings I found in Resident Evil 4 when I first played it. The game is far from perfect but theres a lot of charm here, and I don't regret my purchase at all. This said, Chapter 3 is a notable step down from the rest of the experience. Having multiple enemies for punishing you for engaging with them in combat is counterproductive to almost everything I enjoy most about the experience.

Blood West is what you get when you toss Thief, S.T.A.L.K.E.R., and Red Dead Redemption into a cursed cauldron, stir it with a rusted bayonet, and set it in a nightmare-soaked frontier. It's grimy, eerie, and surprisingly tactical—and it's one of the most atmospheric indie games in recent memory. The Good: Immersive Atmosphere: The sound design is unsettling in all the right ways—creaking wood, distant groans, and eerie wind keep you constantly on edge. Combined with its gritty, low-res art style, it nails the "haunted Wild West" vibe. Tense, Tactical Gameplay: Blood West isn’t a run-and-gun shooter. It rewards stealth, planning, and patience. Combat feels deliberate, and the scarcity of ammo and supplies keeps tension high. Satisfying Progression: Perk-based character building adds replayability and player choice. Whether you're going full stealth, gunslinger, or melee brute, the game supports various playstyles. World Design: Non-linear maps and semi-open zones give exploration real value. You’ll want to scour every shack and canyon for loot or lore. The Not-So-Good: Janky Combat at Times: Melee can feel clunky and unresponsive, especially in tight spaces. Firearms, while powerful, are sometimes hard to aim precisely under pressure. Sparse NPC Interaction: While the isolation adds to the atmosphere, the world can feel a bit empty between objectives. A few more NPCs or story events would help deepen the immersion. Old-School Save System: The save limitations will frustrate some players. Dying near the end of a mission means redoing long, tense segments—which may not appeal to all. Blood West is a slow-burn immersive horror-sim that rewards patience and exploration. It’s rough around the edges, but it makes up for it with atmosphere, originality, and solid mechanics. If you love immersive sims, survival horror, or just want to hunt monsters with a six-shooter in a cursed frontier, Blood West is absolutely worth saddling up for. Rating: 8/10

Since this game made me sink some ~100 hours into it, I think it deserves a review. Will I recommend it? Hmm, that depends, I will mark this review as a positive one although it really is both a yes and a no. It does really depend on your expectations, but let's deal with each point (arbitrary) separately one by one. 1. The atmosphere - pretty good, I'd say it is the main driver for me in this game. The visuals of course could be improved upon, and that would really add to the atmosphere point. Still pretty good, but I had to tinker with the colors in this game as my eyes are pretty bad and I get tired easily, but that's just me. Also, so as to make my review clearer, the atmosphere I mean is this sort of combination of visual elements, sound effects and how they 'synergize'. 2. Character skill/item build variety. Pretty good too, although I have found melee to be the more efficient and powerful option in this game, except for a few situations where an alternative build would be more efficient. It's hard to say exactly how many specific builds are possible, but I'd say quite a lot, but they can be generally divided into ranged/melee/hybrid. Builds are defined as a set of skills plus a set of artifacts and items that synergize well. I'd say the easiest one to implement would be a tanky melee build, requires almost no skill and delivers well in 9 out of 10 situations. You don't have to carry any ammo, just me, myself and my good ol' axe... Ranged weapons of course require more skill: you need the right positioning, you need to have ammo supplies/different ammo types in abundance, you also need to take most enemies with headshots so as to spend less time and ammo. Also shooting produces noise and that means you will often have to use bows/crossbows in order to take out monsters noiselessly, otherwise you will run into trouble, especially in tunnels or tricky places where you can easily get jumped. Also, you can adjust your tools to each specific situation, but that would be a bit tedious... To conclude, once you have played some and seen what items there are, you will be able to plan a build that suits your taste and skill. I played my first run ever with ranged weapons and some throwables, and I died maybe 6-7 times during the the first chapter's boss fight before I managed to kill it...I was very much surprised during my second run (melee that time) when I just ran into the boss and sliced it into pieces with a knife at a crazy speed with some 10 attacks maybe...all within seconds. xD 3. Story/lore - pretty bland, almost non-existent, but there are notes that you can collect. It's a pity there's no bestiary/separate interface where that info could potentially be stored, and you have to keep your notes stored in the stash or carry them around if you want to access a piece of information on a particular creature, in case you've forgotten something. Despite all that, short movies between chapters are pretty cool. 4. AI - can be pretty sdubid, but I'd say it's okay, although there are some situations where you can use the AI's stupidity to abuse it, for instance chain-killing enemies when one monster runs up to the dead body of the monster you just killed, taking no notice of you, then it also gets killed, and another one runs up...looks pretty funny and makes so little sense, but that's just AI, we can forgive it, right? xD That's of course only abusable thanks to the stealth mechanic, if you were not in the sight/notice range initially. And why do they exhibit such behavior? Do they care for their kin, or are they just physically/mindlessly drawn to the sound of the dead body falling onto the ground? Looks much more like the latter. Still it looks a bit weird: one monster runs up to the dead body of another, sees the dead comrade and then, after taking a deep and thoughtful breath, continues on his way, as if nothing weird had happened...so no alertness mode, so far as I can tell. 5. Monsters/enemies. I'd commend the game on that one, as each creature exhibits unique behavior patterns and has some unique mechanics/move sets. You never know if the creature can jump over you and appear behind your back or not, and that adds to the tension. Well done. 6. Achievements: I personally found most of them to be pretty fun, but some of them require either hard work or googling. There are even some two or three achievements that I think are practically unachievable if you don't know about them and if you don't use Google. If you wish to test your meticulousness/attentiveness and some analytical/problem solving skills, then this game has something to offer you. 7. Boss fights. Each boss fight is unique and requires you to find the optimal approach. Item build/skill build adjustments are sometimes required if you don't plan in advance, so be prepared for that. However, I think the difficulty does not scale with each boss, at least how I see it. The first chapter boss seems to be the hardest one (especially against some builds), the second one looks easy (except when against melee builds) and the last one is extremely easy, at least if you manage to learn all the required skills/collect the required items by the time you enter the arena. 8. The learning curve. You will learn pretty much all of what you'll need during the first couple of hours, and the rest is just about mastering what you already know. In conclusion, I'd say it's a solid title, especially good for grabbing when on sale. There are things that can be expanded upon or reworked, but presently the game is pretty playable and enjoyable, although don't expect much from it. Replayability goes as far as build diversity goes I think, and as far as you are okay with the repetitiveness of the gameplay, which essentially boils down to "assess the terrain, find optimal positioning, take out the monsters", then repeat. Still, those aspects require some thinking and decision making, so it's not exactly a bad thing, but its repetitive aspect can become a bit boring after a while. Also, you will probably enjoy this game if you enjoy experimenting with builds, especially sub-optimal/niche builds. :D I think that's it, but there are probably many things I left out.
