West of Loathing is a role playing game set in the wild west, featuring hand drawn, stick figure characters and environments. There have been many stick figure games in the past, many of which were web-based flash games and this did not fill me with hope for this quirky, comedic experience.

I was blown away by this games sprawling open world, packed with quests, puzzles and mysteries around every corner. It is hilarious at every opportunity, with a slapstick comedy style present across the many eccentric characters and scenarios. The game follows the main character leaving their family farm to make a living on a journey to a city called Frisco, engaging in turn based combat and varied objectives along the way.

At first glance, you would never expect this game to be as deep, complex and varied as it actually is and I had a great time experimenting will all the possible quests, choices and outcomes. If you're looking for an engaging, fun time filled with jokes you should look no further and as far as stick figure based games go, this is most certainly the best one ever made.
