Western Rye

Not the game for anyone who inverts y-axis as there's no setting to toggle it. Devs said it was in maybe in an update in a month or two.

I have requested a refund on this game. I am a survive and build game junkie, so seeing an option set in the Wild West was an instant draw. And I want to encourage anyone who has the chutzpah to take on a project like this. But if these devs are capable of better, then they should have waited till they had a much more mature product to put it on the market. I do not write this review to be mean--it gives me no joy to identify the signs of a very amateurish attempt, but I feel like I'm channeling Simon Cowell right now saying, "Sorry, you don't have the talent to be on this stage." 1. The animations are janky and poor. My own movements are like my hand is attached to a noodle, there is no gravity feel in my movements or in actions like chopping. The movement of the zombies is like a noodle man in front of a car dealer ship. Watching a dancer dance is like watching a frenzied marionette--no enticement there. Going up stairs I'm gliding upwards like a speeding ghost. The devs need someone on their team who understands animation better. 2. The use of Unreal assets to build the town lacks understanding of their placement and layering. The buildings are virtually see-through with gaps …

Steam really shouldn't allow a game that is this alpha, for more than 5 bucks man. It isn't early access, it's a sandbox and apparently we are the game testers. No shade at the dev, but there should be a lot more worked out before it can be purchased and played. Maybe being a millennial has me like this, but I remember who ass games coming out and fully completed when you bought it. Anyway, aside from that, this has potential. But too many little things are not even done. There is basically no direction when you start. After fumbling around for a bit, I managed to start a quest, but found issues along the way. First, apparently the horse has a hard time going over little rocks, so better stay on the road. Speaking of the road, some parts have the road higher than the dirt next to it and the horse can't step up? Like, you have to ride until the road meets the dirt again, before you can get back on it. You can't climb objects, you can't vault, you can't roll, there is a really weird head bobbing movement when you try to melee. You should be able to either right click to loot all or something, where things will auto stack in to your inventory. Icons are too similar to know there is …

The game seems to function well but I found out that when I die....I don't get anything back. That is extremely unhelpful. I lost my most basic items and couldn't build them again. Hopefully if they can fix that, I will try the game again.

WR didn't start up past the character lobby screen. I looked up some info and apparently it's a know issue and the devs are in the process of patching it... "check's in the mail" so to say. . ... maybe a rebuy in another year

I am tired of trying to play the game and having to sit through a movie intro, then on top of that it takes forever to load. Gee maybe because of the intro movie??!! Good God, no, just NO.
