[h2]What... Don't You Guys Have Friends...?[/h2]
No actually. I don't have a close group of people I can call friends, who are available to mess around with and have fun in co-op shooters or adventures. Far Far West does not deserve its overwhelmingly positive ratings, if you’re someone who prefers to play solo. If you don’t already have a close group of friends to mess around with in co-op shooters or adventures, this game quickly loses its appeal, because there is nothing outside of the fast paced vibes.
Visually, it tries to blend Sea of Thieves and The Wild Wild West, and it layers on fast-paced music, honestly, the soundtrack is the only thing that gives the game life. Every stage across every quadrant is just a recycled layout with minor event tweaks that end up feeling identical. The repetition is exhausting: you’re forced to grind mission after mission for new weapon blueprints, needing five or six runs just to unlock one, and each one comes with their own built in leveling system, which is even more of a grind, and when you finally hit level 100 and prestige, the so-called rewards are mere stat tweaks or underwhelming bonuses, like adding a few more "chance to drop joker cards", not exactly game-changing.
Playing solo is mindlessly boring, and the thrill evaporates fast when playing with triple pristiged golliaths that one tap everything on Very Hard or Nightmare mode, where you can't exactly do a whole lot on your own. They mention a roadmap for future content, but with a foundation this bland and uninspired outside of friends and gunslinging, I doubt any update will fix the core issues. Without the music, there’s nothing here to keep you coming back. It’s briefly fun, but the novelty wears off almost immediately.
[h2]Conclusion[/h2]
Not a contrarian. I am just blunt and realistic. The music is a banger, it keeps you here.
The AI is awful. You can bug them out, they run in a straight line, after the one they are aggro to, and nothing really makes it feel like you're struggling.
Got friends? Great game, if your friends are great people to be around.
Going solo with randoms? Utterly boring.
