Plus, who doesn’t want to explore a world set in a darkly fantastical, Wild West setting, with posses to muster, cannibals to exterminate, homesteads to ransack, and pigmen to meet? While it might not excel at everything it is trying to accomplish, the ingenious nature of its genre combination is deeply intriguing. Honestly, Weird West is a mix of a lot of things, and to try and pin down exactly what it is does the game’s vision a disservice. RELATED: The Best Xbox Games Ever Made (According To Metacritic) Action follows more of a twin-stick shooter style, and the story progression follows a sort of anthology format. However, if you’re worried that all sounds too menu intensive, Weird West has got you covered. It’s got the light trappings of a CRPG with some of the immersive sim elements we all know and love from the co-creators’ previous work with Dishonored. The premise of Weird West is one for the ages. Whether you’re an old-school Doom fan that never got to check it out over its restrictive choice of consoles or a new fan looking for a taste of the old days and a sneaky lore treat, Doom 64’s more than worth a download.
It even comes with a neat bit of additional content tying it to the events of Doom 2016 and Eternal, “canonizing” it, in a manner of speaking. It’s very much a straightforward classic Doom experience, but the lighting, ambience, and more puzzle-forward level design lend it a more contemplative vibe over the thrash-metal stylings of the 1993 original. Chances are that even dedicated Doom fans had to give this one a miss thanks to it being relegated to the Nintendo 64 - a problem well-fixed by its recent port, and even further remedied by its inclusion on the Game Pass roster. Seeing a touched-up version of Doom 64 pop up alongside Doom Eternal’s 2020 launch was a surprise, to say the least.
