Evil West

"Evil West feels like an Xbox 360 or PS3 game in the best posible way. Great action, tight controls, interesting story and more, makes this game the best surprise of 2022."

"Evil West has the style of a B-movie (in a good way) and the proposal of a PS3/360 game (again, in a good way): it gives exactly what it promises, goes what it goes, does not entertain with nonsense, does …"

"An excellent action game with terrific combat and spot-on controls. The campaign is at a decent length, but there should have been more to do after clearing it."

"Evil West is a nice experience. Very violent and not very subtle, do not look for a tactical experience. It is a game that has for only goal to let your brain rest."

"Evil West deserves a spot among the best games that take place in the wild west."

"A gleeful splat-&s;em-up featuring a lovely bag of tricks."

"Evil West&s;s core combat is an absolute blast, though the game&s;s short length and underwhelming presentation may be deal-breakers for some gamers."

"Evil West doesn&s;t reinvent the wheel, but it doesn&s;t have to. It&s;s fun and a great time, which is all it needs to be. It reminds me of a wonderful B-movie; I watch it because I like to turn my …"

"Evil West is far from the most complex or innovative action game around, but it nails the most important parts of its old-school, monster-killing campaign."

"Evil West in fun in the moment, but largely forgettable due to the poor writing and level design. While the combat is stellar and intuitive when in the heat of battle, the glue holding those battles together could use some …"

"Though it captures the heart of Darkwatch in its environments and atmosphere, it can’t make up for its lack of variety or its inability to scale difficulty in a satisfying way. The best throwback games borrow aesthetics, iconography, and mechanics …"

"Sometimes you want to start a game and have fun right from the get-go. Evil West doesn&s;t try to do anything fancy or tell a big cinematic story. Instead, it gives you various tools to go in, and slaughter vampires …"

"Evil West is not a cornerstone of the action genre, but it is a product supported by a solid and fun combat system."

"Despite these issues, Evil West will most certainly become a better experience with some fine-tuning and a patch or two. As far as I am concerned, its core formula is an entertaining one, bringing players on a linear ride into …"

"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 …"

"Evil West delivers on its big dumb action game premise, for better and worse."

"Evil West successfully revitalizes the third-person shooter genre with intense, satisfying combat, even if its level design isn&s;t much to write home about."

"With a flow of combat that rivals that of the Doom Slayer, Evil West hits its mark when taking on vampires, werewolves, and everything in between, despite finding the rest of the experience a bit lacking."

"Evil West is a strong game that simply lacks enough diversity to make it a classic. It is visceral with fun characters that never takes itself too seriously. I had a blast playing it, but definitely could have done with …"

"Evil West isn&s;t a bad game, but it&s;s certainly a disappointment. Jesse Rentier is a fun character to play, but unfortunately the encounter design doesn&s;t always let his full capabilities shine, and the boss battles are downright awful. Still worth …"

"Evil West is the third in an unrelated trilogy of games that weave together the old West with supernatural elements. The West has recently been Hard, Weird and now, Evil. To me, this is the best of the bunch. It’s …"

"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 an old-school banger, a reminder of the quick and sharp fun that action games can deliver. It has some flaws here and there, but the meat of the game is fast-paced and endlessly entertaining combat. Smacking vampires …"

"An entertaining remix of familiar action mechanics and narrative tropes, Evil West is a solid modern beat-em-up that puts combat first."

"Evil West is a straight shooter. It doesn’t pretend to be something more than it is — a game about cowboys slaying vampires without mercy. Despite being a tad unvaried, the combat is viscerally gratifying and confidently uncomplicated. And for …"

"Evil West is a fun, frenetic, blood-soaked, testosterone-fueled action game with a lot to like. There’s some old-school charm to it, but at the same time some old-school frustrations. When co-op works, it’s fun, though it is by no means …"

"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&s;s kinetic combat thrills as you dismember vampires by the bucket load, but it&s;s dragged down by level design that&s;s both formulaic and repetitive."

"Evil West is one of those really enjoyable 7/10s. It&s;s never going to win any awards and it&s;s probably not going to stick long in the memory, but give it a few years and someone, somewhere, will swear to you …"

"For all its superficial swagger, it&s;d be remiss to call Evil West a case of style over substance, because there&s;s a deceptive amount of substance to its combat system and the vibrant world its set in–just the amount you&s;d want …"

"However you feel about Evil West, the $50/$60 asking price is too steep for what’s on offer: the nature of its level design, limited enemy variety, and forgettable story will get in the way of your enjoyment, even if you’re …"

"Evil West is not the most ambitious game of the year, but can still provide some fun thanks to its solid action gameplay and its many satisfying combat encounters with all sorts of vampires and monsters."

"Evil West feels like a fresh take on the typical &s;Old West&s; settings we see, offering a satisfying combat system and enough gore to sate the appetite of the most bloodthirsty of vampires. Its dark narrative and compelling characters are …"
