Customer Ratings & Reviews

Game is good although I was supposed to get the next day delivery and somehow my package was in my city and stil totally missed me and went to another state and back. Also my game came loose the CD was bouncing around good thing it didn’t come scratched and my game box was broken a bit. It clearly seems like it was just being thrown around.

Evil West is the highly talked about vampire hunter game set in a Wild West environment. Not just vampires, of course, there are all kinds of beasts including zombies, werewolves and even dragon-like creatures. The style of this game feels quite retro as it is super linear and amazingly coincidental in how you traverse the map. But if done well linear games can be awesome – not everything needs to be open world. You play as Jesse Rentier who is with the Rentier Institute, a corporation run by his family as a defence against the monstrosities that are all around them. Where the vampires and others beasts just see humans as food, the humans are fighting back developing interesting weaponry to fight back and keep the monsters at bay. But the vampires and other monsters are aware that the humans are starting to get the upper hand in the ongoing war between them and so they are taking the offensive bringing a lot of trouble to Jesse’s doorstep. The first thing to notice about this game is that it is visually quite brilliant. There is a combination of styles which makes it quite a scene to take in. The over-the-shoulder view feels like you are playing Gears of War, and you get the western feel in the clothes and the voice acting which is similar to that in the Red Dead games. Then along with those styles is a chunk of steampunk thrown in with a lot of mechanical gears and electricity in the weaponry like your special gauntlet.                 The gameplay is a bit of a mixed bag depending on your preferences. Evil West is broken up into chapters/levels and each of these is linear with very little room for exploration. You can look around the level for collectables and money but you can never veer off the correct path. There are also coincidental shiny objects on the screen to help you navigate the path. These shiny objects let you know where you need to climb, drop down, squeeze through or whip rope your way over. It’s not complicated but it is all a setup to the main guts of the game which is the combat. Once you see that you are entering a large circle clearing you know to expect enemies.                 The combat is where the game’s main focus is and initially it made me feel like what Gears of War would be if it was melee focused as Jesse is quite a hulking figure with an oversized gauntlet. The enemies that Jesse and others refer to as Ticks come in all different shapes and sizes and there is plenty of joy to be had in pummelling these beasts. as you level up and progress all manner of different fighting choices are available.  You can choose to apply a perk in many different skill trees to enhance every fighting style you choose to play. You also collect money scattered around the level in boxes and chests which can be used to purchase upgrades to your arsenal as well which are very useful. With fighting styles, you have your close-quarter combo melee attack which is mapped to the right bumper button which took a little getting used to. You can uppercut enemies in the air and do various juggling moves like sending them flying, shooting them whilst they are in the air or even using an electric attack to slam them on the ground and do some splash damage to nearby enemies. You can also take a ranged approach of spray firing with a revolver or you can use your rifle for some more accurate shooting. You only have limited ammo in each gun before you reload but you have infinite ammo so that’s one less thing to worry about. This game is an absolute master piece in my own personal opinion & one of the very best that came out this year! I was so impressed with it, I got myself a copy for the Xbox One also! You can't go wrong with this title, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT! Especially if you are a fan of horror as I am!!!!!

If youre looking for something to play with a buddy you cant really go wrong here. Decent gamepley and fun combat. The story left much to be desired but overall was a nice throwback to old 3rd person ps2/ps3 games. Game had crashing issues at launch but recent patches should have fixed all that.

Fun combat, great cast of characters, amazing aesthetic made my time with Evil West overwhemingly positive. Like with all games it has its negatives - story is very basic and barely there, you only have one main weapon in the gauntlet so the basic melee combo is always the same although the wealth of sub-weapons help with this, and combat can sometimes spike to be incredibly difficult. All in all after i finished Evil West I found myself instantly starting new game+ because I was having a blast and thats why I fully recommend Evil West.

You know there was not much out there for this game and it truly went under the radar! I enjoyed every moment of it and even though it felt more like an PS2 style game but it itch the right nostalgia feeling that made it that much better!

Fun Game. Old School linear game. Had a Blast with it.

Great game and arrived at a decent time. Would definitely say it’s worth the purchase.

I am happy with my purchase but the game was loose in the case other than that it was a great deal

Awesome game! Story line great and the gore is gruesome!!! Perfect for young adults and adults.

It is One of the best PS4 games I played in years!

Although I enjoy games of this type, this was a gift and I can only rate the shipping process. Received in timely and efficient manner. Was well packed. Looking forward to playing this with my son!

A fun game in general but its hard to see in certain areas. Although it is a unique take on Westerns and Horror.
