I don't hear it talked about much. It's from the co-creators of Dishonered & Prey but has the feel of what Fallout 1 & 2 would play like if they came out today IMO.

Weird West (or Weird Western) is a genre of fiction that uses the Wild West period of American History as a foundation and then adds fantasy/supernatural elements to it. So stories where gunslingers encounter zombies, vampires, demons, robots, or any other creatures that wouldn't otherwise be present in a standard Western.
This is a community for sharing various Weird West works. Movies, Books, Comics, Video Games, TV Shows, whatever fits.

I played it. Overall, I wanted to like it more than I actually did. The world building was fun but the gameplay was just kinda awkward. I remember the game starts you out with $0 and 0 bullets and then throws you into an ambush. With no bullets and no way to buy bullets, that first battle is unreasonably difficult. Once you actually defeat them, loot their corpses for money, and buy bullets, the game gets better though.
Also, as an unrelated rant, I don't like when someone names a specific thing after an entire genre. I have a similar complaint with the TTRPG called "cyberpunk". You can say Mike Pondsmith created cyberpunk and that's technically accurate, but it's also horribly misleading.
