West of Loathing
West of Loathing is built for a solo outing, mixing open-world exploration, quests, and puzzles with optional turn-based fights. It costs $7.59 at 
GOG; the current price may make sense if this peculiar Western comedy is what you want to play now. Full controller support is available on Steam PC, while the combat can be avoided, making the game’s oddball exploration the main draw rather than a commitment to constant battles. At $10.99 on Steam, you can compare the offer at GOG with Steam's current price.

I want to note here, that while I have over 64 hours in the game West of Loathing, I cannot in good conscience support its developers any longer, or encourage any others to do the same. There's a point in my life where I would have, but facts have come to light that make that impossible. Zach Johnson abused his wife, both physically and emotionally, and protected her rapist. He's confirmed these facts, but has not adequately addressed his role. Information can be found here. https://www.reddit.com/r/kol/comments/d0cq9s/allegations_of_misconduct_by_asymmetric_members/ I strongly recommend avoiding this game.Show moreShow less

As someone who has played KoL for ten years or so - I enjoyed it! ; I cannot recommend buying it in good conscience though - there is (credible) controversy surrounding founder Zack 'Jick' Johnson of Asymmetric Publications who - content warning; abuse - has been accused of abusing his ex-wife (with several people corroborating his general behavior towards her)Show moreShow less

I don't mean to sound like "that old guy" but if you've been a gamer for a long time you've played your share of one-trick ponies, and West of Loathing is more or less just that. Well, in this case, it's got two tricks: lots of humor (which to be fair, does often land), and it's minimalist stick-figure aesthetic. It's hardly a bad game and it's a decent time waster, but it's extremely repetitive with weak combat mechanics. By around the ten hour mark you'll be yearning for some kind of narrative development but it just never really comes. You satisfy yourself with the occasional chuckle or "oh, that was clever" moment, but that really is all there is to see. Fortunately, you can pick it up and put it down whenever you want. It might be good for a long drive or an airplane trip, or anytime you've got a few minutes to kill waiting for a friend.Show moreShow less

I left home with nothing but a needle and my granny's briefcase full o' snakes, hitched a ride to Boring Springs, killed two men and three snakes, learned to speak Goblin, and befriended a woman whose home was burned to the ground by a gang of cows. Then I bought a horse and left the tutorial area, and things got weird. I'm pretty on board with this one.Show moreShow less

Zack Johnson, creator of West of Loathing, has admitted to beating his wife. Kevin Simmons, co-creator, has admitted to standing by and letting it happen. Don't support abusers. Don't support this game.Show moreShow less

As a Kingdom of Loathing OG, I can already confirm the game carries the same spirit perfectly. This cannot go wrong. EDIT: At first I was a bit scared the game might be a bit short, but when I saw the map I decided there is no need to worry. EDIT: I can confirm that there is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of stuff to explore, however, I strongly reccommend not using and helps or walkthroughs. Figuring stuff out can be tedious in a few cases but rewarding. Replayability is on high level.Show moreShow less

I really liked this game to start off. The combat is serviceable, although it is a little wonky in how uneven the difficulty is, with nigh-impossible fights being right next to fights that you completely steamroll. This ties in to the RPG aspects of the game, with a system that is very simple to learn, but difficult to know what to do with, as you just keep getting these options thrown at you (I had one move in particular that I ignored, as it seemed bad, and it is, until you get it's final upgrade, then it's awesome, but you have no way of knowing that until you upgrade it). In some cases this is understandable, as it's a game with a ton of different equipment and you can easily switch it up for different fights, but it still seems uneven, and it doesn't excuse random encounters that kill you before you even get to move. But all of this would have not caused me to say I wouldn't recommend it if the story had been as good as I thought it would be. The game is written with a Douglas Adams feel, it's very wonky but delivered dead-pan. It is funny, and the side-quests weren't bad, and the whole side-questing structure reminds me of an old-school RPG like the original Fallouts. Problem is, the side-quests never really get better; from start to finish, they are always short, focused around a central gag. Usually side-quests would get longer or more serious as the game progresses, but here, they never stop feeling like they are anything BUT a joke. But the main quest is even worse because...there isn't one. No, really. And I don't mean it's like Ultima 4 where you just wander around in whatever order you want to achieve a clear goal, I mean the writers just didn't bother to create a series of events one could call a plot. You get a setup with an identified enemy, and there is an ending, but everything inbetween is just random bumbling around. Get this; I beat the game without realizing it. I don't even mean I thought I was fighting a sub-boss and it was really the final boss, I mean I literally beat it and only found out 15 minutes later when I was told "Hey, we did it!" by my companion, only because I happened to speak to her. It just ends; there is no real final dungeon or final boss worthy of the names, you just trip into another cave, do the same shallow poking around you always do, and accidentally win. So yeah, I did enjoy this game at first, but it never picks up, it never grows and changes, it just feels like the entire quest is a vehicle for this low-level, mildly amusing writing. They packed in enough moves and mechanics for a much longer game, and yet struggled to even write enough to fill what we got. The end result is a game that, as far as I can see, is mostly loved for repeat playthroughs and self-imposed challenges. I think there is real talent behind this title but it's ultimately a disappointing experience on it's own.Show moreShow less
