This game is awesome. It's a slow paced, methodical stealth cowboy game with simple but extremely consistent stealth mechanics. You'll never be left wondering why you got spotted. It's simpler than an immersive sim and a bit like a survival horror, with a lot of resource and inventory management, it's a weird and interesting mix of genres. I would say the main selling points of this game are the atmosphere and the level and enemy design. The game is divided into three long chapters, each one being an open world map filled with points of interest and mini dungeons of sorts. These levels tend to have multiple ways to move around and reward exploration extremely well, the dev evidently likes to hide items in clever spots in the level geometry, so make sure to look under beds, inside broken crates, behind misaligned furniture, etc. A lot of the gameplay is sneaking around and killing enemies with headshots, but the enemy designs like to throw curveballs at you. For example you'll quickly run into enemies that have face plates that can take a headshot from the front, enemies that are straight up immune to headshots, enemies that have a predator-style optic camouflage so it's really hard to tell where the head is, and stuff like that. You'll have to get clever and adapt to handle all the different enemy types. You die very easily in this game and getting killed results in a debuff and enemy respawns, so the game might appear pretty hard at first, but you can actually make it easy by following two simple rules: 1. Always throw a rock to make the enemy stand still before lining up a headshot. 2. Always run away and lose aggro when spotted. And that's it. Most deaths are from missing a headshot and then trying to fight the aggroed enemy head on, so with just those two rules you'll die very rarely.

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
