An unholy union of stealth-based FPS and weird western horror works like dynamite in Hyperstrange’s Blood West. With the game now releasing after almost two years spent in Early Access, the final version delivers a substantive, often grueling action-RPG experience with some light survival horror elements, all presented in gloriously low-rez 3D. The eye-catching gritty aesthetic pairs beautifully with the macabre country atmosphere, and fans of horror games, challenging Soulslikes, and the classic Thief series (Stephen L. Russell incidently joined the game's voice cast recently) will not be able to tear themselves away.
