Notes -
I played through the first Chapter of Hard West 2 and it's pretty good! There are some flaws that can be pointed out and I don't think it's likely to have much replayability, but the aesthetics and combat mechanics are quite good. If you like turn-based tactics, this one is worth taking a look at for $24.
What are you playing?
The comments made it seems like many of the battles only had one correct answer. In that sense it's more of a puzzl game than a squad tactics game. That's why I passed on it.
I was surprised to find that really irked me about Age of Decadence an otherwise very well made RPG, by making all of the tests skill hurdles, I felt very constrained. I get that that was the point of the game design, but I didn't enjoy it.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that they only have one correct answer, but there's absolutely a puzzle feel to many of the battles. For example, there's a train heist where one of the optional goals (with a nice reward) is completing it in one turn. There are probably a couple ways to pull that off depending on what group you're running, but the way you have to approach it is severely constrained by that goal. If you ignore that goal, you've got options, but it's still going to be somewhat linear because the level design (in this case) is straightforward. This is what I mean about it probably not having much replayability.
The combat ain't XCOM, but it's still enjoyable enough to knit together a fun game.
