    i feel play game ps3
    Bad imaging, normal sounds, movement is not good, and the roads in the game are narrow. The game in general is of low quality and is not worth buying.

    Unreal engine 4 shader compilation stutters are present and the color grading is awful, otherwise its pretty good for an old-school feeling type of game. Great premise, but average execution.

    A boring game, I tried to give it a try but in the end I ended up repaying the money, I don't recommend it unless you are a big fan of a repetitive game and with a boring story.

    O jogo empolga de começo em suas primeiras 2 horas, tem gráficos agradáveis e uma história bacana.
    Eu terminei o jogo em 10 hrs, é bem frenético e que faz você ficar sem piscar algumas vezes.
    Mas como nem tudo são flores o jogo depois de um tempo começa a enjoar, ficar repetitivo demais e você vai perceber que tudo do começo ao fim do jogo se resume a andar, encontrar um campo aberto e    O jogo empolga de começo em suas primeiras 2 horas, tem gráficos agradáveis e uma história bacana.

    Mas como nem tudo são flores o jogo depois de um tempo começa a enjoar, ficar repetitivo demais e você vai perceber que tudo do começo ao fim do jogo se resume a andar, encontrar um campo aberto e vem a horda de inimigos, você mata todos, volta andar mais um pouco e encontra outro campo aberto e vem mais hordas e isso se repete até o final do jogo. De começo isso parece legal, mas vai por mim, fazer isso por horas de jogo é cansativo porque os inimigos começam a repetir e da a sensação que nada muda no jogo. Chega um momento que não passa mais a sensação de recompensa no jogo e vem aquela sensação de que você quer acabar o jogo logo, pois não só a forma de batalha no jogo é repetitiva, os monstros, mas os puzzles também. Aliás o jogo até tem uma leve variedade de inimigos, mas muito mal aproveitado por conta da repetição e a forma que traz eles o tempo todo a cada campo de batalha e chega uma hora, na metade do jogo não tem mais inimigos novos então eles vão repetir em hordas todos eles até o final do jogo    … Expand

    Okey it was fun for couple of levels but after we start running circles. Bosses from previous levels became a mobs on next levels. You beatin them in same amoung on same arenas again and again and again. Walking straight line from one arena to another.

All what you need to do is a beat small enemies by pressing a single button, and after press ult to    Okey it was fun for couple of levels but after we start running circles.

    Also I'd like to point out big boss fightes. They are horrible cause everything blowing, shinning, electric arcs and bosses just lost in this mess.

    Everything else in the game - boring walkin-looting gold sessions.    … Expand

    This game is "strongly recommended" by the Australian troll 'Skill Up'. But when I tried it, WTF? Welp, this game can only get a troll's recommendation.

Welp, this game can only get a troll's recommendation. The main reason I give it a 0 is that this game is basically all gameplay, and the lore is unbelievably weak, yet the developer messed that up. They introduced a kick for interrupting enemies but it gets replaced by electrocution very quickly, so why bother? There is this skill you use by holding 'L1+R1', but if you even slightly push the left stick, it becomes a dash. Any combination you want to use, you need to make sure you release all your **** fingers before doing it. Not even a last-century game could be this dumb. Almost forgot to mention, invisible obstacles everywhere.… Expand

    Unfortunately the only way I can describe Evil West is lazy, frustrating and disappointing. I was really looking forward to this one and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent performance on PC which nowadays is very rare. That was were my enjoyment ended. Lazy level design, lazy enemy design and encounters would be an understatement.

I was really looking forward to this one and was pleasantly surprised by the excellent performance on PC which nowadays is very rare. That was were my enjoyment ended. Lazy level design, lazy enemy design and encounters would be an understatement. I do not want to fight the same 3 or 4 enemies for the entirety of the game over and over. Even the mini bosses were reused and turned into mobs that appear over and over again sometimes 3 or 4 in the same arena. It was boring and frustrating and I would not recommend this game. Not to mention the terrible story.… Expand

    Evil West is a game worthy of 2022 visually but remains in the 90's when it comes to gameplay. It ruins a gripping story, an exciting concept, beautiful graphics and voiceovers with repetitive arena style fights and extremely linear gameplay. Wait for a sale if you want to nail some vampires to the wall.

    After crazy Shadow Warrior 3 and toned down Trek to Yomi the Warsaw-based Flying Wild Hog studio offers a new IP that combines Wild West, horror and steampunk. It’s an explosive concoction with a surprisingly complex combat system, but if slaying monsters is not enough for you and you expect a wider range of experiences, Evil West is not a game for you.

    Evil West has done something fairly remarkable by dragging the sort of shlocky, B-tier, 360-era action games into 2022 with basically all of the quality-of-life upgrades you’d expect from a modern title. This is how you remember games of 10-odd years ago, as opposed to how they actually play now.
