Evil West

Oldshool Singleplayer Game and alot of Fun.

a bit repetitive combos after a certain point but very satisfying fairly difficult in normal difficulty but kinda predictable after youve played for a decent amount of hours, beautiful visuals and the story doesnt take the game too seriously which isnt bad tbh

Evil west is a very solid game brought down by a few issues which most boil down to *sigh* "modern game issues." To get the bad out of the way. First off, as an Unreal Engine game, it's got some serious performance issues on PC, which, oddly enough, I didn't encounter on the Steam Deck. The frame drops and pop in were pretty nasty on PC; nothing that I'd consider game breaking, but certainly annoying. The modern game issues include: characters who never stop talking - every action is met with a stupid phrase from the lead, Marvel-esque writing - everyone just quips all the time and is super irreverent, egregious signposting - it's a completely linear game, but everything you interact with glows from a mile away which kills the fun of finding secrets, and some characters that don't make sense in the setting - though that part is at least part of the story. These issues prevent the game from greatness. Other than that, I love the story, and some of the character writing is really good. The sound track and overall audio are top-tier, the combat is fun as hell, the art and graphics are excellent, and so on. I think the best thing about the game is spectacular level design (which is why the sign posting is annoying). You're never lost or confused, the puzzles are a bit simple but fun, and the pacing is perfect. They could have easily made the game an exhausting onslaught of enemy hordes, but they tastefully chose to let the levels breathe, allowing the player to explore and find stuff in between big fights. It's really the pacing that made the game for me, honestly. Overall a super solid game that I highly recommend.

I have 500 games in my Steam library and I’m choosing to play this one… that must mean something. The story…idk I didn’t pay attention. But crazy ♥♥♥♥ was definitely happening on screen. Blood too…lots of blood and exploding vampire zombies with tentacles. Also electricity everywhere. Lots of particle effects that make me happy. Even though you’re a cowboy. You punch zombies to death most of the time. Zipping around with super speed like static shock electrocuting them into blue skeletons. Controls are weird..but weird like lime cucumber Gatorade... different. I can’t put this game down. I don’t know what’s wrong with me anymore… in college I used to play Battlefield 3 on Hardcore Only servers and was triple Prestige…now I’m playing Evil West and thinking about it all day at my salary job. I guess that’s life.
