    1080p on a PS5 and Series X is simply unacceptable in performance mode. The colour balancing is extremely off putting, blacks look crushed, even after calibrating and on a C2 OLED panel. The quality mode is no better from a graphical standpoint, and 30 fps for this isn’t recommended. The combat is repetitive… albeit, has a solid feel. I’d avoid this on console. PC might be better.

    wtf are these graphics. If someone told me the gameplay I saw was from a ps2 I would have actually believed them. THIS IS NOT A PS5 GAME. also whats going on with the camera. where they blindfolded when making that lazy ass camera

    Graphics and performance is a real letdown. 1080p60 looks bad, should have been 4K60 on new consoles.

    Complete garbage, ok, the combat is decent, but everything else is just plain stupid. The premise, the graphics are horrible. Game feels like it was released 20 years ago. DO NOT buy this game.

    bad game needs improvement in performance and graphics. 1080p 60fps on ps5 is disappointing. Add 4k60fps at least

    This is probably the worst case of Bullet Sponge enemies I’ve ever experienced. Dull and repetitive combat and enemies and environments. Everything is super linear and even character upgrades don’t really change the experience for the better. Overall awful game.

    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 Gameplay é cansativo porque os inimigos começam a repetir e da a sensação que nada muda no jogo muda. 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 tem até uma boa 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

    Easily one of the worst designed games I’ve played. I thought it would be right up my alley, and the first couple hours were. But it quickly grew boring, annoying, and rage inducing. No spoilers, but the final boss is one of the worst bosses I’ve ever faced.

    Graphics were tough on the eyes, the controls were very unintuitive. Didn't take me very long to realize I desperately wanted my money back

    Disappointing PC experience with Only Okay Gameplay"

    While the graphics were certainly impressive, my playthrough of this game on PC was ultimately underwhelming. Despite the potential for exciting gunplay, the majority of combat involved repetitive melee and gauntlet attacks that only offered mild satisfaction. While there were many upgrades available for purchase, I found most to be    Disappointing PC experience with Only Okay Gameplay"

    While the graphics were certainly impressive, my playthrough of this game on PC was ultimately underwhelming. Despite the potential for exciting gunplay, the majority of combat involved repetitive melee and gauntlet attacks that only offered mild satisfaction. While there were many upgrades available for purchase, I found most to be boring and unengaging.

    Throughout the game, players are stuck using a limited selection of 3-4 weapons that quickly become stale. Additionally, the swarms of enemies encountered frequently throughout the game made for an irritating experience, as dealing with such large numbers became overwhelming and tiresome.

    Perhaps most frustratingly, the combination lightning push and pull move didn't always work smoothly, often requiring multiple attempts to activate. Meanwhile, the limited ammo supply for the game's guns (often with only four rounds per clip) added another layer of frustration to an already lackluster experience.

    Overall, while the graphics may look great, the gameplay feels shallow and unsatisfying, making for a disappointing overall experience.    … Expand

    I cannot believe how bad this is, really. I watched someone play for maybe two hours and thought it looked decent and would be fun.
    The tutorial had so many red flags in it, i decided to return the game before i finished the tutorial. Rental regret is rare. im sure it would get better as it goes but such a woefully underwhelming first impression got me. "looks like you could use a hand".

Looks like i needed a skip tutorial option..

    but that was the first thing i noticed; the lack of Freedom. once you cross a glowing chain, you cant go back unless it remains glowing. that would have been a good tip for tutorial. or how when you knock enemies off of ledges they land on the invisible extended ground, stand up, then fall thru the invisible ground. some lame dev team shook up doom 2016 and added the half-ass mod. avoid.

    i thought it looked alright, but things were gonna be on fire the whole game.    … Expand

    I’m not sure what everyone see’s in this game. Where to start? Once you get past the beat em up vampire fun that lasts for the best part of 15 minutes. You see this for what it really is, an Xbox 360 esque jank fest. The graphics and animations are outdated. The gameplay is incredibly repetitive and frustrating. Clunky controls, movement and combat will frustrate you to no end. The storyI’m not sure what everyone see’s in this game. Where to start?

The levels are dragged out, making you repeat yourself countless times before finally putting this mess to bed. Coop is a whole mess in itself. Buttons and prompts that don’t work when you really need them to. Two characters who could’ve worked instead they just duplicate the main guy. Avoid at all costs, even if it’s free. Play or do anything else. I finished this game so you don’t have to.… Expand

    Haaa kolejny raz Polskie studia i developerzy plują na polskich graczy! Żeby nawet polska gra nie posiadała polskiego dubbingu (nie ważne jaki by był)
    Dla mnie ta gra tylko nadaje się na craca, żadnych pieniędzy nie płacić jeśli jesteś tego samego zdania.

    A game from the generation before the last somehow found its way to us in the year 2022. The combat is great, the story is fun, the graphics are… dated. Perhaps you can stomach it for the few hours it takes to beat the game.

    Evil West feels like an Xbox 360 or PS3 game in the best possible way. Great action, tight controls, interesting story and more, makes this game the best surprise of 2022.

    Evil West has no delusions of grandeur; it simply wants to give you a thumping good time, and on that front it fully delivers [Issue#380, p.120]
