From the director of titles like Prey, Dishonored, Dark Messiah, and Arx Fatalis, Weird West is a great title that takes that immersive sim design philosophy to a smaller scale, and to an isometric perspective.

Note: I received an early key for this video to review.
The first title from Wolfeye Studios, Weird West pulls plenty from the Arkane and Looking Glass blueprint to make a game set in the weird wild west from an isometric perspective.
There's plenty of fun to have in seeing how chaotic spreading fire can be from flammable objectives. The game keeps track of your choices, and if you want to go and clear out whole towns, you're more than welcome to.
While it's on a much smaller scope compared to titles like Prey or Dishonored, there's still plenty of fun to be had in its offerings.
