Completely blown away by how solid of a game this is.
From it's reveal trailer, Evil West wore it's heart on it's sleeve as a straight up third person shooter taking inspiration from seventh-gen console titles like Gears of War where you play as a cowboy beating the shit out of evil creatures. It is as simple as that. It does what it sets out to do very well.
That said, I totally get why people say this is a shallow experience. It looks and feels like a 4K rerelease of an Xbox 360 game that never existed until now. Evil West is just a game where if you look at the trailer and if you feel nothing for it at all, there will be nothing for you if you play it.
I would hope whether or not this is your jam that there's an appreciation for it's up-front honesty. Especially because this is one the best optimized games to come out on PC this year and isn't overly long. It's here for a good time, not a long one.
I am chomping a the bit for more from this developer because they seem to have a grasp on making shit that looks cool, runs immaculately, and isn't demanding too much of the player other than to enjoy this videogame ass videogame.
