El Hijo - A Wild West Tale
El Hijo is a spaghetti western, indie stealth game. The game is set in a mythical place of the 19th century that very much resembles the American west, as we know it from Sergio Leone‘s westerns, taking some of its most popular characteristics of outlaw gangs, saloons, cunning, sarcasm, irony, etc. There is no indication of a specific time, or place. It could be everywhere and anywhere. You guide 6-year old boy El Hijo on his quest to find his father, by escaping a monastery, fighting his way through the desert and avoiding monstrous creatures, and outsmarting horrible gangsters in the saloon of a villain town.

In other words, all things considered, El Hijo – A Wild West Tale is pretty enjoyable. In fact (and please forgive me for the terrible pun I’m about to inflict on you), you might even say it’s a stealth game that stole its way into my heart.

The story begins as simple as a tale of revenge can be. After their house is burned, the mom leaves the kid in the care of some priests in a monastery nearby and goes alone to the bandits’ lair, finding a lot of dynamite and blowing it up. But it’s after the kid sets on his journey to reunite with the mom when the plot thickens. A really dark story full of sinister folks, shootouts, and child slavery unfolds as the kid’s story does, and it’s within that violent conspiracy where El Hijo operates, harmlessly trying to save the person that he loves the most.

Navigating through El Hijo - A Wild West Tale's world is tense without being overwhelming which makes it a truly great stealth game.El Hijo - A Wild West Tale gameplay video → Let's Play El Hijo - A Wild West Tale video → Get-A-Grip Chip Review Switch ★★★★☆ Chip was built to Get-A-Grip so let's recharge our batteries, swing to it, and see what this magnetic 2D platformer is all about. Right off the bat, let me just say that I love when 2D platformers incorporate clever gameplay gimmicks and Get-A-Grip Chip does an awesome job of utilizing the little robot's magnetic grappling hook.
