This game is a promise I wish others built upon. A short story in an open-world that can diverge in wildly weird and amusing ways. It actively encourages players to poke and prod at its quests and characters in a silly cowboy-cliché world, and because a playthrough can be so short, you're encouraged to dive in over and over again.

It's a format I could see applied to so many different types of stories, worlds, and genres that to this day I'm surprised there isn't much more like it. But as it is it's a silly cowboy game that really amused me.

This is a weird one because I'd say it's just about perfect for what it is: A flight simulator! But if you aren't interested in a flight simulator, should you bother playing?

I had a flash in the pan weekend with this game crashing into friends houses across the country, finding natural wonders and world monuments, and trying to barrel roll airliners. But after that burst of fun, I felt like the rest of it, the core of what this is, wasn't for me.

I'm not saying I want this to be an arcade-y, dog-fighting, twisted metal in the air hellscape, but a list of objectives, goals, and courses that encouraged someone who wasn't into the hardcore flight sim parts to keep flying. So yeah, otherwise perfect.
