Evil West is a pure, old-school action game that knows exactly what it wants to be—and fully commits to it. 🧛‍♂️⚡ You play as a vampire hunter armed with guns, gadgets, and a brutally satisfying electric gauntlet. Combat is the real star here: fast, aggressive, and incredibly fun. Every punch, shot, and finisher feels powerful, and the game constantly pushes you to stay on the offensive instead of hiding behind cover. The Wild West + supernatural setting is stylish and unique, giving the game a gritty atmosphere with cool enemy designs and boss fights that actually test your skills. The progression system is straightforward but rewarding, letting you unlock new abilities and combos that keep combat fresh from start to finish. The story isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s serviceable and fits the tone of the game perfectly. This isn’t a cinematic narrative experience—it’s about action, spectacle, and feeling like an unstoppable monster hunter. Pros: Extremely satisfying combat ⚡ Stylish Wild West vampire theme 🤠🧛‍♂️ Solid enemy variety and boss fights No open-world filler, just pure action Cons: Level design is a bit linear Story is simple Verdict: If you love fast-paced, hack-and-slash style combat with a dark western twist, Evil West is a blast. It’s a focused, no-nonsense action game that delivers exactly what it promises. Recommended. ✅🔥

Evil West is if Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter & God of War (2016) had a lovechild who came out on Xbox 360 This is B-Movie: The Game. Camp, bloody, fun, and simple. This game does not do anything incredible, new, or insane, however, what it does do, is good. Nothing to ride home about. Short ass game. I beat it in about 8.5 hours, but if you took your time, maybe 11-13 hrs. While I like the game, the time alone is reason enough to never buy it full price at 50$. There is not enough single-playthrough content for 50$. Even then, post-credit content is just replaying the same game or missions. - The Gameplay The gameplay is the epitome if a Western Action RPG during the era of the Xbox 360. It's combat feels nice enough to skip all the story and just punch ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. It feels very reminiscent of God of War (2016) with in it's melee combat and it's gruesome kills, but you can tell it has a Dark Souls inspiration with how the enemy & boss designs make you interact with the character kit. Especially with the hit and run gameplay that you have to start doing in the late-game, but because of the powers you are given, it is on speed, crack, and gunpowder. The game does make a good job to make you feel like a badass. With the RPG system, it feels good. There is a currency equipment upgrade system that is very simple. Look around the map to find sacks of gold to spend on equipment upgrades. That, and the collectibels, is the only reason why you would really explore the map. The leveling system is small since you around level 20 when you hit the credits, but the upgrades are, majoritively, major upgrades. You can also, for free, change your points and equipment spending around, which is really nice. The map is, and the game, is so damn linear. It's a straight line that has some curves by having some incredibly simple puzzles a child that can sort shapes can do. The Game's way to tell the player where to go, by interactable glowing chains, does limit how the player can interact with said map, but also does actually confuse what is an optional exploration zone, and sometimes how is something interactable, since they use the same piece of interactable material that is meant to only drop down as a climable piece in some areas. It is not always clear. - The Story It is literally a Cheesy, Campy, Bloody, B-Movie Action-Horror film. Where you play a Vampire Hunter with Electricity Powers and Guns inspired by the steam-punk era. - Overall Buy this game on sale, get some beer or green, and enjoy your weekend.

GAMEPLAY (8.5/10) COMBAT: 9.5/10 This is the single best third-person perspective (TPP) combat system I have experienced, and I have played Lies of P, Sekiro, Ninja Gaiden 2, Sifu, Bayonetta 3, Devil May Cry 5, Guilty Gear -Strive-, and all of the God of War games. It combines elements of Devil May Cry 5, God of War (2018 and Ragnarok), and Vanquish. The controls are generally snappy and responsive, even in chaotic situations, and the way the combat loop blends gunplay with melee feels unprecedented, as far as I am aware. This game desperately needs a "style metre". Despite the tanky controls (no jump button), the protagonist moves very smoothly, and the FOV slider in the settings is a godsend. The game includes every TPP combat mechanic imaginable: parrying, dodging, blocking, rolling, punches, finishers, special abilities (on cooldown), and a variety of weapons and gadgets. The enemies are varied, smart, and aggressive, forcing you to utilise all your tools and stay on the move. Resource management is crucial, reminiscent of DOOM: Eternal. The kinetic flow state the game pushes you into during combat is truly unique. EXPLORATION: 7/10 Exploration is light, reminiscent of TPP action games from the Xbox 360 and PS3 era—a refreshing contrast in today’s action genre. The puzzles are simple. The game encourages exploration to find skill tree upgrades, cosmetic skins, and currency. However, the developers could have marked routes leading to these rewards more clearly. You may mistake detours for the main path and miss valuable upgrades. Once you enter the next arena, you cannot backtrack, and would have to replay the level to explore missed areas. BALANCING: 8/10 The game is mostly well-balanced, though the last third of the campaign includes some genuinely unfair encounters, requiring several attempts. Boss fights are challenging—Souls-level in difficulty—except for the third one. --- STORY (7/10) CHARACTERS: 6/10 The characters are basic archetypes, but they serve their purpose. They are neither annoying nor particularly interesting, except for William Harrow, who is well-acted and has creative dialogue. WRITING: 7.5/10 Certain sequences are excellently scripted and executed, with pacing that smoothly nudges you toward the next objective. Harrow’s dialogues are particularly creative. LORE: 8.5/10 The lore is engaging. The world-building is mostly environmental and note-based, with character-narrated notes that save you from having to read everything. --- GRAPHICS (8.5/10) TECHNICAL: 8/10 Textures and polygonal models are solid. Character models are detailed, and lighting is generally decent, though baked global illumination is weaker in some indoor areas due to the lack of a ray-traced light bounce model. Cutscenes are pre-rendered and higher quality than gameplay, with superior models, assets, and controlled lighting. They are nearly flawless and remain consistent with gameplay aesthetics. ART DIRECTION: 9/10 Beautifully realised, with impressive scenic variety across levels. The strong technical presentation further enhances the visual appeal. OPTIMISATION: 8/10 Surprisingly well-optimised for a 2022 AA title, likely due to Unreal Engine 4. I played at the highest settings at 1920×1080 without upscaling, achieving a consistent 50–60 FPS on my nearly five-year-old GTX 1650 laptop. The game can appear slightly blurry, seemingly rendering internally at a lower resolution than 1920×1080, even at 100% scale. Increasing the resolution scale to 130% or above improves sharpness but impacts FPS. --- OTHERS (8/10) Bugs and glitches are rare. I fell through the map once, fixed by reloading the checkpoint. Auto-saves are frequent, and I experienced no crashes or freezes, though occasional stutter occurs. In stressful combat scenarios, pressing multiple keys quickly on your keyboard-mouse can occasionally fail to register, causing death. This happened about five times in my 30-hour playthrough. The sound design is punchy. The musical score is solid but not revolutionary. Shadow Warrior 3 had a stronger overall soundtrack, in my opinion. --- FINAL RATING: 8.5/10 I can’t wait to dive into New Game+.
