Westworld showrunners are Lisa Joy and his husband Jonathan Nolan, Christopher Nolan's brother. Jonathan Nolan wrote good stuff (Memento, The Prestige, Interstellar) and some very bad shit too (Person of Interest, Terminator Salvation).
Bought, installed, played, uninstalled, refunded within 2 hours. Combat gameplay is terrible, graphics are ugly and the game runs like shit. The only good thing is Steam refund within 20 minutes.
