Steam review snapshots
I'd recommend it, just play in short bursts.the rate at which you unlock new things to play with is pitifully slow, it makes the game feel more like grindy…The art direction and the atmosphere it's able to create are amazing, properly creating a post-death world with western elements.Encounters are built around positioning, cover usage, and timing rather than pure reflexes.Why it fits
Check it if you want action, adventure filtered by weird, single-player.
