    There’s a story, but it’s a knowingly tropey B-movie affair in service of you going to places that are fun to punch vampires in. The writing in Evil West is full of anachronistic gibberish, too — there are some particularly contemporary swears mixed in with old-timey cursing, and protagonist Jesse Rentier loves to call his support staff nerds.

    In the end, the game while looking good and having a solid concept is hampered by the camera issues and the control system as well as a fairly short campaign. The game is good for what it is but could have been and should have been so much better than we got.

    A game set in the Wild West where you are a monster hunter that you can play with a friend sounds pretty awesome. It delivers all of that with an interesting storyline that feels quite Van Helsing at times and stunning graphics. The linear layout coincidental traversal of maps is a very retro way of playing a game now but I quite enjoy it as that simplicity is quite refreshing at times but could be repetitive for others.

    This is a definite bummer, considering most, if not all, games are offering at least 1440p 60 fps on next-gen consoles. Given that this is an action-heavy experience, you’ll probably want to stick with a higher framerate, but just keep in mind that the visuals can get quite muddy and blurry at times.

    Evil West offers old-school hack-and-slash gameplay to fuel your nostalgia. It's a phenomenal game and an incredibly fun slaying experience. If you are an older individual, it will have you rekindling your video gaming nostalgia.

    Evil West is damned fun. It is a video game assed video game and I love it for that. Poor writing and some technical issues are not enough to hold back what is otherwise a blast to play. Solo or co-op if a turn-your-brain-off type of kill-a-thon sounds appealing I think this one is worth it.

    Good game but has its flaws

    Its a good game. The game showcases the power and graphical upgrades of Unreal Engine 5 wonderfully. The boss battles are fun but the real difficulty comes when hordes of monsters come at once. Most of the world elements are not reactable or breakable and you have to follow a set path since its a linear game storyline. The worst part about the game is that you cannot retrace your steps. There are no indications of checkpoints and if you cross it you can't go back to get the collectible and save points aren't a thing either, you will have to restart the game again to get to the collectible. The weapons and gameplay are good but the story could have been much better.

    Wild West!

    This is surprisingly a fun game for me. Evil west is an action adventure game with a linear story and unique mechanics. I never expected that this game would turn out really awesome. Having a Wild west setting in a post apocalyptic world doesn't seem right. Well, this game proved that some combinations can work. I think the only negative comment I can give is the fact that the story writing is not that good. You can easily forget the characters. It seems like you are playing this game just to enjoy killing zombies with different weapons. Not by playing it to be immersed and invested with the characters. **VISUALS** _Artistry: 1_ _Technical Merit: 1_ **SOUND DESIGN** _Music: 0.5_ _Sound Effects & Vocals: 0.5_ **INTERACTION** _Control & Interface: 0.5_ _Accessibility: 0.5_ **MECHANICS** _Feedback & Fun: 1_ _Variety: 1_ **CHARACTER** _Narrative: 1_ _Heart: 1_

    Excellent Action Game! Give it a shot!

    While this may not be a true AAA game, it sure seems like it. Most of all- this game is fun! It’s filled with action, combat, shooting, puzzle solving. The story isn’t great, but this is an action game so that’s to be expected. The game definitely gets more difficult as you go. The enemies are pretty varied and it never got boring. Definitely worth the money & worth playing. I can easily see playing it again in the future. 9/10, 4/5.

    Just some good ole fashion fun!

    I had a BLAST playing this game. It isn't complicated, the story is clean and simple (not confusing), and the combat is so much fun. If you are a shooter fan and want a relaxing single-player game, this is for you!
