Seven: Enhanced Edition (the PS4 release)
Such a cool setting and fusion of so many genres in an isometric perspective. I finally went back to it after mulling of what I could play that was most similar to Weird West. The biggest problem is that the mechanics are relatively shallow in the long run (you only have so many skills and incremental upgrades to use) and it's a surprisingly big game with an open world, full of verticality and packed with markers. About 10 hours in, I've just started following the main questline to see that through to the end.

If you liked Mimimi games Shadow Tactics/Gambit or Desperados 3, this might interest you, however it feels way more traditions - like the original Commandos games - and moves at a much slower, more methodical pace. There's a ton of satisfaction to be had knocking of Nazi after Nazi and turning the tide in your favour, but each chapter - think an expanding map with multiple objectives - can take literal hours. I'd play it on PC with mouse and keyboard if you have the choice as gamepad controls just slow it down further.
