    Evil West was recommended to me months back as a potential blockbuster. 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.

    There is not a dull moment to be found in Evil West’s ten to twelve hour playtime. The storyline has the potential to ensure this could well turn into a massive franchise, and there’s just hope that any sequel may place more focus on cooperative play.

    Evil West is a fantasy adventure game set in a grim and sinister world. Can you master every ability and save mankind? Search every level, find the collectables, and tackle every vampire you face.

    Evil West is a really fun third-person action game. It has a good variety of gameplay with the addition of melee and ranged gameplay. Plus, the artwork feels really inspired. Technically, however, it's a bit of a low-key game, and suffers from a severe problem in the level design.

    Evil West isn’t the most complicated game ever made, but it doesn’t need to be, offering a good few hours of overpowered fun.

    The wild west brings very fun vibes but graphically outdated action. Evil West is the perfect definition of linear gameplay. For better and for worse. That said, it offers absolutely brutal action.

    Evil West is a thoroughly old-fashioned shooter that manages to entertain in short bursts but can't overcome how lacklustre and unoriginal its level design and narrative feels. If you've got a pal to play through this one with in co-op you could probably stick another star on the final score, otherwise we'd steer clear unless you absolutely must indulge in some seriously last-gen cowboy vs. vampire action.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Evil West is a a video games video game. I truly enjoyed my time blasting vamps with the revolver, using them as punching bags and quick shooting weak points. The combat gameplay is what really makes Evil West special, the fast paced and challenging arena style fights. Also all of the weapons are just fun to use. As for the story, it’s not Oscar winning material but it does a good job of setting up the protagonists and antagonists. Though the characters are flawed they’re still likable. The level design was good though very bare, each level environment was different. Finally the progression of Jesse’s skills and weapons was perfect, throughout your leveling up and becoming more and more powerful all the way up to the end. I will say that I was disappointed with the ending, after killing the final boss there’s a cut scene and it’s all over. But for me Evil West was just what we as gamers needed. It’s simplicity is its greatest strength. Expand

    it feels like an 80s kind of mood: Not woke, simple yet likable characters, simple and straightforward story.

    It’s not a revolution but it delivers.

    The game can feel a bit hard until it finally clicks (around mid-game for me) but once it does, it’s satisfying.

    Bosses can be a bit long but, really, the game is worth a shot.

    Decent game. Not much thinking required. Combat is really fan and the whole vampire/zombie-like story is a nice take on wild west

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Thank you for the worst game development known to man. Game launch 2022 game can’t even Cross gen play. Really? Are you guys joking? So Xbox One can not play with Xbox one Series S/X it’s an Xbox on a Microsoft platform. That’s not cross platform at all. Could understand Xbox not being able to play with PlayStation but for real Xbox One, PC (Microsoft evil west) version, and Xbox Series S/X can’t play with each other? What’s the point of buying a Series X/S game that’s backwards compatible and runs on Xbox one if you can’t even play together..get real you guys suck. Expand
