West of Loathing - Review @ Gamespot

Gamespot reviewed the stick-figure RPG West of Loathing:

West Of Loathing Review: Wild, Wild West

Wild, wild, WILD West.

West of Loathing is not as simple as its art style might lead you to believe. Its black and white color palette, stick-figure characters, and crude hand-drawn art might appear to be devoid of personality. But in practice, its visual simplicity acts as a malleable canvas for its imagination to run away with reckless abandon. West of Loathing is an involved Western adventure game/RPG hybrid that embraces absolute absurdity with mechanical flexibility and comedic personality, making role-playing in its monochromatic old West thoroughly entertaining.

The Good

  • Humorous writing that rarely falters
  • Amusing jokes that persist through the game's systems
  • Flexible, non-lethal, and rewarding solutions to every obstacle
  • Pitch-perfect Western soundtrack

The Bad

  • Inventory management grows cumbersome on Switch

Score: 8/10 - Great
