So, I played this game six times in a row... I'm not even joking. There are two reasons I did this: 1) achievements and 2) this game is ridiculously fun and entertaining. I've spent basically 82 hours playing this game and I had fun each and every time I did it! Seriously, even though I was basically doing the exact same things as I'd done before over and over, I still thoroughly enjoyed playing. Which lead me to question how in the world I didn't get tired of the game even remotely. I came up with a list to answer that question, which I will now share.

I think a large part of it is the sheer amount of humor in the West of Loathing. Humor and puns are practically the lifeblood of this game! There's so much attention to detail, from the bigger stuff like the quests and missions to the smaller stuff like random encounters and even minute details like the personalization of tombstones and notes! Every single character that appears in the game is unique. What's more, the way you play and the choices you make affect literally everything in the game, from how the story ends to the encounters you have and the way you handle them. In all of my playthroughs of this game (and I intend to do at least one or two more), there seemed to always be something new.

I so highly recommend West of Loathing. This game is ridiculously fun and I don't think one could ever grow bored of playing it. One of the best games I've ever played!
