West of Dead
I personally love this game, but it’s a difficult sell in some regards.
It’s the kind of game indie games have needed since FTL: something that takes the mechanics of a beloved game genre, encases them in a creative and appealing setting with a killer soundtrack, and provides a familiar but unique experience to players across generations. It’s got a great gameplay loop, satisfying kills, and plenty of challenge. However, it’s let down by some odd (but rare for me, anyway) bugs, too many useless “dead-end” weapon unlocks, and a bad difficulty curve caused mostly by overinflated health values.

A Flawed Gem
West Of Dead is a roguelite shooter. Players take on the role of a nameless flaming-skull cowboy, fighting through hordes of enemies in order to recover his memories, his true identity, and a way out of this grim Purgatory. This game is easily one of the unique entries in the genre in terms of combat. The flow of gameplay offers a different approach to the speedy, combat-heavy peers. However, outside of gameplay, the game feels flawed. Many inconveniences and technical issues can easily push the players away from it. The game as a whole is functional and playable, mind you. I just have a feeling that this game should be advertised as an almost-finished-early-access product because of the lack of polishing. Still, I would recommend West Of Dead since it provides ample enjoyment to play through.

OIL PATCH SIMULATIONS
i have been playing the game for several months now. there are no problems with this game. everything works properly. technical support is outstanding. i had a problem starting the game because of my system setup is unique and the game itself gives you info on how to contact support. an impressive first for me. the game tells you what is wrong with it and how to fix it. nice. simple fix takes seconds just enter a special code and it fixes itself to work on my system. never heard of that before. top notch game support.

so it says to purge drill rigs to relocate and various other commands that do not have options associated with them. how exactly does this work? do i write my own script to implement these dynamics that supposedly exist or do i just accept the fact that the game is not only broken but not even complete?
