Weird West

• Amazing art style
• Camera and movement feel original - it's not often you move your camera and character like that in a game with this camera angle
• Aiming is intuitive. Shooting sounds great
• BULLET TIME
• Multiple weapon types to play with, and you can have them all equipped at once
• Good dialogue
• Good / evil choices throughout (and those Telltale-style recaps after each chapter)
• Stealth mechanics such as surprise attacks, knocking people out and hiding bodies
• Exploration is rewarding
• Weapons can be upgraded
• Environmental combat effects. You can knock over water, shock it, set fire to oil - very similar to Divinity Original Sin
• You can shoot dynamite in mid-air and make it blow up the bad guys
• Quicksave
• If the combat is too quick, there's a "tactical mode" which basically slows everything down, including you. It also highlights the radius of things like explosive barrels
• Lots of books to read
• If you clear out an area and leave the corpses, they'll be moved to the local graveyard the next time you visit the area. If you missed any loot, you can rob the graves
• Bounty hunting and a dynamic sidequest system
• Sometimes when you save people, they become Friends for Life - then they can show up in difficult fights to help out later on
• If you kill certain NPCs, like the leader of a gang - you'll see members of that gang mourning their loss in other locations
• You play as a series of 5 main heroes. When you start a new journey, your permanent bought skills carry over, and so do all the map locations you discovered
• The heroes you play as all have very different styles and abilities. No spoilers on what the characters are, but it gives you a wide range of things to try
• When you hire a previous hero to your posse, they are still carrying ALL of their previous inventory (keys, bars, weapons, equipment, everything), so your progress doesn't reset between characters
• If you come up with an idea and go "I wonder if I can...", the answer is "Yes, you can"
   

It's one of those games that even at the end, I was still thoroughly enjoying the ending, rather than wanting it to be over. The last 5 minutes of the game are meaningful, explain the story, and give you interesting choices.

• It can be difficult to target the object you want to interact with when there are several things on a table
• I saved, let a criminal out of prison, then reloaded and he was still gone
• The framerate in towns isn't great
• The main quest's cutscenes are voice acted very well, but there's no voice acting for anything else
• I wish there were some way to see my story quest progress. I took a massive break in the middle of the game, couldn't remember the history of a characters I met, and now I have no idea who they are, who I am or what I'm doing
• I got caught "committing a minor crime" by withdrawing things from my safe deposit box at the bank
• It took me 20 hours to realise that the numbers I'd thought were "levels" are actually % resistance to certain types of damage
