    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 is one of the most surprising and enjoyable action games of the year, and Flying Wild Hog have an absolute banger on their hands.

    Evil West is the kind of beautiful trash I wish we had more of. It’s a ridiculous game in service to a purpose no higher than smashing monsters to gloopy bits, and by God do I admire that. While at times combat balance is uneven, any such moment is made up for by a terrific weapon set, extravagant finishers, and an immediacy of offense that ensures the action never wavers. Refined? No. Elegant? Hardly. Fun as f.ck? F.cking yes.

    Evil West’s gameplay focuses around progression. It loves to introduce new elements like weapons, combat and enemies and then proceed to absolutely smash the player with an assortment of everything they have learnt by the end of each chapter. The constant change in how you play the game is overall satisfying, but its rinse and repeat formula of enemies and mini bosses became annoying the more time I spent with it. The location art and narrative is exciting, but I longed to be given more opportunities to explore and be rewarded for my endeavours based on the enticing nature of each area. Evil West is an exciting ride that will test your reflexes and ability to take on swarms of monsters which will either leave you feeling exhilarated, frustrated or like me, somewhere in between.

    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]

    Evil West features plenty of spectacular, frantic, fun and challenging fights, in which we will be able to exploit a very wide repertoire of moves and weapons to kill hordes of monsters, vampires, werewolves and undeads in the most painful way possible. Unfortunately, everything else is disappointing.

    There's fun to be had in Evil West but there are far too many chinks in this armor to make it worthy of wearing into the field.

    Awesome gameplay reminiscent of PS3 action games that we really miss and need so much these days!

It’s filled with action, combat, shooting, puzzle solving. The story isn’t great, but this is an action game so that’s to be expected. The game definitely gets more difficult as you go. The enemies are pretty varied and it never got boring. Definitely worth the money & worth playing. I can easily see playing it again in the future. 9/10, 4/5.… Expand

    Thoughts-
    Do I recommend Evil West? Well, at this point, I suspect you already know if this is your type of game or not. If you’re one of those gamers whose primary concern is the sheer amount of content per dollar, then maybe wait for a sale. That math doesn’t really work out in the game’s favor, and there’s not much replay value outside of a half-baked co-op mode that doesn’t let player 2 save their game, and a new game plus. Neither of which fundamentally change the game. But, if you are more concerned with just enjoying a solid action game that isn’t afraid to do it’s own thing in a few ways, and beats you over the head with the small handful of things it does well while respecting your time and wrapping up right about when it should, then Evil West is a great choice. Being pretty firmly from the latter camp myself, I’d say this is one of the better action games of the year. I wish it did a bit more with its characters and surprised me a little more with its plot and level design, but there’s no denying the uncanny ability of Flying Wild Hog to capitalize on and squeeze every last bit of possible fun out of just a few cool ideas, and that ability is certainly on display here.    … Expand

    Played it until chapter 4 on Evil difficulty. It was really fun and challenging at first, but sadly the combat got repetitive pretty fast for me.

    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
