GameSpot: 8 / 10 by David Wildgoose

Hard West 2 is a hardy, accomplished turn-based tactics game with several flashes of genius.

Full Review

Gaming Nexus: 8.8 / 10 by Eric Hauter

Hard West 2 offers a fun mix of text adventures and turn-based strategy battles, with just enough of each to keep things fresh. Awesome and unique mechanics are highlighted in a combat system that forces players outside of their "overwatch" comfort zones, allowing new tactics not seen before in games of this ilk. A bit of fiddly control work does little to tarnish the stellar gameplay. Highly recommended for fans of the genre.

IGN: 7 / 10 by Jonathan Bolding

Hard West 2 has plenty of little annoyances, but it's a supernatural western tactics game with a lot of style and the substance to back it.
