It’s outperforming popular titles like Windrose, Gamble With Your Friends, Forza Horizon 6, Heroes of Might & Magic: Olden Era, Pragmata, and Crimson Desert. Developed by Evil Raptor and published by Fireshine Games, Far Far West launched on April 28th and has quickly become a hit with players, earning an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating on Steam – meaning 97% of over 9,500 user reviews are positive.
