Playing West of Loathing right after Felvidek was interesting, as there's so many similarities between the two. Narrative/writing focused, turn-based combat, crew of misfits, etc. Unfortunately the comparison ends up favouring Felividek, in my opinion, but without that comparison, i did have a good time

West of Loathing goes for more a of a quantity approach, with a bigger map, more and longer quests, and most importantly, more text and narrative jokes. It throws a lot of spaghetti at the wall, but a few good chucklers did manage to stick (which is saying a lot, for my un-jolly disposition). The best were the recurring jokes, usually weaved through quests to keep surprising - it felt like those were using the medium of video-game questing to the best effect

To add insult to injury, general life stuff prevented me from writing my thoughts down until now, so i don't remember a whole lot. I really should take notes or something, although perhaps the shorter review is better in some ways
