![]() The Weird West has been getting a lot of play as a setting in video games lately, a trend that is totally fine with me. I felt completely comfortable jumping into Hard West 2 with zero knowledge of its predecessor, and the game does a fine job with tutorials to get new players up to speed. But if I had to guess, I would wager that beyond the setting and the fact that this is a strategy game there isn’t much that binds the two experiences. I can’t tell you what threads – story or otherwise – connect the two games. I never played the first Hard West, but I get the impression from this one that my showing up late to the party is totally fine. My progress has been slow, but I’ve been enjoying the hell out of Hard West 2. This is a game that has me trying to achieve perfection in my strategies, a game that has me restarting or loading an old save if I miss even one of a given battle’s side objectives. ![]() I’ve got like 40 save files, and I’ve not been above save-scumming, but it’s been tough to keep track of which save is which because I’ve got so many. ![]() I’ve loaded and reloaded battles, even some I’ve won, to try different tactics for greater success. Whenever I’ve had a break from life, I’ve scurried back to my desk and picked up on the current battle I’ve been fighting through. In the week since I’ve been home from vacation, I’ve left Hard West 2 running non-stop on my gaming PC in the background.
