    Can't say anything good about how this game runs on XBSX. Frame rate drops, stuttering, screen tearing, and the gamma is terrible. You can have your TV's visual settings just how you like it, and this game looks terrible on the Series X.

    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 The graphics and animations are outdated.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 gameplay is incredibly repetitive and frustrating. Clunky controls, movement and combat will frustrate you to no end. The story isn’t much to go by, with forgetful and annoying characters. 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

    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

    There is something old fashioned about Evil West, in many ways. It’s linear narrative, brutal combat and simple dialogue - all remind me of the Xbox 360 era, and this isn’t a bad thing by any means. Sometimes you don’t need all the best graphics, or an open world with a million tasks and quests, because sometimes you just want to beat bad guys up. Evil West gave me that, and cowboys and vampires too.

    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.

    The variety in areas and monsters are its strong points, with the combat offering good fun with controversial choices. Its big problem is the lack of rhythm in its gameplay, as a result of which the title passes as an indifferent "binge watch" for the weekend.
