Haunted West is an incredibly ambitious undertaking and could be this decade's quintissential Weird West game.
The $39.95 buy-in price is steep for a PDF, but it definitely delivers on content and quality. There is just SO much within these 800+ pages. Histories both broad and personal, adventure hooks, unique and exciting character options, alternate rules, intersectional and inclusive prose, and some excellent advice for running the game.
In terms of rules, Haunted West seeks to please as many people as possible. There's an ironclad foundation of traditional gaming rules, variants for more narrative-oriented play as well as options for crunchier combat, and there's even an entire Powered by the Apocalypse hack towards the end of the book too. You are bound to find a style of play that works best for you.
In terms of setting, it's obvious that the author did some thorough research of the time period and there are so many wonderful details behind each plot hook, ...

Hello! I hope I can write this as constructive that I can. Here it goes!
Now, the overall game for me was good. I only played it once but I think I'll find myself wanting to play this again. And maybe using the other genres of this game as well.
As I played through it, I think that the game is quite hard. Or maybe I just picked the wrong, or rather, a quite hard character-skill-scenario combo.
All in all though, I found it fun. I wrote a letter, lost the game, but I still enjoyed the experience.
My only gripe would be that it is quite hard to win in this game, and the result at the end doesn't really do much for me. I would've rather have just played it even without the result at the end, but I guess it is needed because without it the points wouldn't have mattered.
Well, this is my opinion on the matter. Thank you for the game!...
