One grisly stop on a trek through the first of five chapters in Weird West will remind you of what was so scarce in its most recent contemporary, Deathloop. Both are immersive sims with vastly different goals. Deathloop was about harnessing an unwieldy system, but Weird West is about living in it.

Early in Weird West, I came across a coven ritual. The witches asked me to leave them alone, but before I could walk away, their ritual succeeded. A horde of undead and their ghastly leader poured out of the summoning circle. The sisters were armed for it. They took care of the abominations like it was a Monday. I just watched.
