About this game

As John Marston, you pursue former gang members after federal agents threaten your family. Horseback travel connects the American West and Mexico, while wanted posters provide bounty-hunting jobs with the option to bring fugitives back dead or alive. Dead Eye slows time during shooting and draws on a replenishable meter. The package also includes Undead Nightmare, a single-player story set amid a zombie outbreak. Nintendo Switch 2 Edition adds mouse-control support to these adventures. Multiplayer content is not included.

9.2 / 10Nintendo Switch 2

A solitary Western journey with resource-based gunplay and an additional control option.

The appeal rests on combining Marston's pursuit with bounty-hunting decisions and limited use of Dead Eye. Mouse support gives this edition an additional point of interest for players who prefer that input method.

Strengths

  • Dead-or-alive bounty targets provide a concrete choice within an otherwise straightforward pursuit.
  • Mouse controls broaden the available input options for the single-player adventures.

Who it is for: Players interested in Western stories, horseback travel and the option of mouse controls.

Play notes: The included Undead Nightmare is a single-player story; this edition does not provide multiplayer content.

The main pursuit, bounty jobs and zombie story offer different goals without requiring an interest in competitive play.

Choosing when to draw on Dead Eye can add a layer of resource judgment to shooting encounters.

The contrast between Western travel and a supernatural outbreak should matter most to players who enjoy seeing a familiar setting recast.

Mouse support makes the edition relevant to players who prefer that input style; its presence alone does not establish aiming quality.
