By the end of the first chapter you become quite formidable, all thanks for interesting design of skills and items. You get a knife that restores HP on backstab, you get a bow with infinite arrows that uses HP, but you can regenerate HP with wendigo heart. And also crowmen trade bullets favorably: 2-6 bullets for a single headshot.
How do you make a boss in a stealth game? You leave an option to crawl around to weaken it! It’s a tree-boss, that attacks you with roots (the AoE is vicious!), and you either wait for a literal opening or shoot the tendrils to force it to open.
The second episode is set in Lousianna swamps. My problem with enemies in this episode is that they are too tanky, most can survive a headshot, and that’s not mentioning the butchers, that have a helmet on.
The good bit is that the authors remembered volcanic pistols, with a tube instead of a cylinder. Wild West arsenal shouldn’t be limited only to revolvers.
