    Just like GoW: Ragnarok, no other way to put it more simply: "it's not perfect, but..."

    Incredible and brutal combat accompanied by fascinating world building! Graphics is very good overall and it suits perfectly with a dirty and violent title like this.

    That game is something between original God of War and DMC, but it also have fps mechanics that great complements gameplay. Great fun game, not so much puzzles(maybe 3 in every 3rd-4rd level) like we have at GOW(2005) and GOW(2018) or new one, i think its even beter game than new GOW's cause u defenetly can`t find that deep of gameplay in "sony exclusives". Must to play if u not sonyboy kiddy.

    This is solid, mindless monster killing game. Graphics are solid, cool weapons and upgrades, diverse locations. The game is linear and it can get repetitive at some point. but overall i like it.

    + ridiculous lore
    + fun

    Cons:
    - bland music

    God of War'un yumruklusu, üzerine Rdr'nin skini geçirilmiş hali ve Doom'un temposu. Saf aksiyon oyunu isteyenlere bire bir. Combat çeşitliliği, yetenek ağacı, skiller bence tam yerinde. Hatta fazla. Zira oyun bittiğinde açamadığım bazı skiller vardı. Skiller oyunda oynanışı değiştiriyor. Sadece vurduğunuz hasarlardan ibaret değildi. Bazı skiller haritada sandıklara gizlenmiş. Bulamadıklarım oldu. Oyun ilerledikçe üzerinize skill ve yeni silah atmaya devam ediyor. Bu anlamda tatmin edici.

    Ancak aynı çeşitlilik düşmanlar açısından geçerli değil. Bir iki ana karakter dışındaki boss'lar ileride normal düşman olarak karşınıza çıkıyor. Bu da tekrara neden oluyor.

    Oyun arena mantığı şeklinde. Boş alanda ilerle, geniş alanda sürüyle üzerine gelen düşmanları öldür, tekrar ilerle vesaire. Bu arena kısımlarında bazen o kadar çok düşman geliyor ki oyunun temposuna yetişemiyorsunuz. Ellerimin ağrıdığını hissettim.

    Hikayesi fena değil. Hollywood aksiyon filmi kalitesinde. Teması güzel, vampirler ve kovboylar.

    Neticede oynaması oldukça keyifli bir oyun olmuş. Aksiyona doyuruyor.    … Expand

    This game is really not bad.

    The developers have created an interesting gameplay where you can really enjoy killing enemies. A huge number of gadgets that help diversify the extermination of vampires, almost every one of which is used when interacting with monsters.

A huge number of gadgets that help diversify the extermination of vampires, almost every one of which is used when interacting with monsters. An ordinary plot about tough cowboys, but the scenes are pleasantly pleasing with their cinematography, and in some places the plot is very interesting, and in some places, of course, a simple plot that saddens.

    Average in terms of graphics, it hardly corresponds to 2022, but it does not catch the eye with its “wretchedness”, everything looks extremely restrained and acceptable to the eye. Moreover, this has an advantage for players with weak computers: the game is not demanding on the system, and many players will be able to try the "Evil West". I did not like the keyboard-mouse response system, where there is some delay in pressing, and sometimes it is very annoying. In my opinion, an undeveloped system of difficulty levels - I played only on the "EVIL" level, after which I played on the levels below, and it seems to me that this level is created by a simple increase in the health of enemies and the damage caused to them. Perhaps this is a plus: the game tests your endurance and perseverance when one or two mistakes are enough to meet death.

    In general, an interesting product, I recommend reading it. An unmissable slasher highlight, "Evil West" will give you hours of fun and test your fighting skills. The developers know their business, I wish them prosperity and mooore intriguing and interesting projects like this one and even better! :)    … Expand

    Evil West manages to replicate some form of God of War's combat and progression with a bit of something something from themselves. This game is quite fun in short bursts and had a, nothing mind-blowing, but just works linear level design. Admittedly it got a little too exhausting mid-way and should've been shorter than it is, but I can appreciate the effort and creativity done for this one.

    Very interesting concept of science western + vampire magic. Well made cut-scenes. Good dialogues and characters. But I didn't like the gameplay. I'm tired of having to be a "keyboard pianist". This abundance of skills and weapons in almost everything makes you beat with your fists. And either do it like a pianist or go through the whole game with the same movements.

    a decent and enjoyable game.
    graphics, gameplay, story and other things are not perfect but they're good enough.
    it was a good 9 hours and i enjoyed most of it.
    the only problem was balancing difficulty, on normal it was impossible to finish some fights at the end.

    As of right now, 12.3.22... There's still some pretty frustrating bugs when it comes to certain actions. Button prompts not registering either as quickly as you can input, or even sometimes at all.

Button prompts not registering either as quickly as you can input, or even sometimes at all. Which can lead to your character just standing there not doing anything, opening you up to getting hit or even dying when it isn't your fault at all. But... when that doesn't happen and the combat is working well, it's a heck of a lot of fun to play! The moment to moment gameplay between the combat arenas is boring and only serves the purpose to get you to the next area where you fight a bunch of enemies... and there are these awful, truly horrendous 'puzzles' that serve only to pad out the run time, which I beat in roughly 13 hours I think. Seriously, the puzzles that are here are nothing more than frustrations and they're only there so the developers can say it's 11 hours not 10 (making it seem a bit more worth it) But when you're fighting and it's working, it's a heck of a lot of fun! Great enemy design! Awesome graphics and mechanics! Story is fine, it's nothing that you're going to write your mamma back home about but it's serviceable. The characters are bland and the writing is next to atrocious but still some how interesting enough to where I wanted to see it through to the end. But oh man! That combat really is the reason to play, and it gives it good reason to. It reminds me of how games use to be, simpler... straight forward and fun. A very video game, video game, the way boss battles use to feel too. It's like an early 2000's game but made for a 2022 audience.
    I paid full price for it and don't regret it at all... But, it'll probably serve you better waiting for a sale. But, once that sale happens; I really think you should pick it up. Unless you haven't played Callisto Protocol yet. Go play that first IT'S SO DANG GOOD!

    Okay, I have now finished the story and I was originally planning on going through and playing it on new game+ to get all the other achievements. But it's now 12.08.22 and they have yet to address the combat bugs. Which are catastrophically frustrating. The combat is very high energy and you need split second timing to perform actions in order to survive or let alone have fun. As the game went on, at least for me, it seemed like the bugs were getting worse and more frequent - happening non stop through every single fight. I would dodge an attack and go to shoot, but nothing would come out, I would have to dodge again and then I could shoot. But I had already lost the important moment I needed for max damage. I would switch weapons, the weapon wouldn't switch. I'd have to dodge or switch to a weapon I didn't need before he would pull it up; but not to use it... oh no, no no! Just to stand there and do nothing. I would then have to dodge again in order for the first weapon I wanted to even pop up, but then I'd have to wait a second before the game would register that the gun was equipped. Every moment is important and a second wasted could mean death, or a missed opportunity for heavy damage. It was beyond infuriating. If I wasn't a completionist, I probably would've put the game down because even though it's a lot of fun when it works... and it really is a lot of fun. There are just too many bugs within the high octane combat that dampers the experience and leaves you angry. But even in that anger you're still kind of enjoying yourself somehow. You should play this game, but you need to wait for game pass or a very deep sale... At least until they can fix these major issues... and even then, despite knowing you'll have fun. At full price it isn't better then other games that are out right now. You should still wait for a sale.    … 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.
