In an era defined by large and mostly bland open-world games, rpg’s, souls-like’s, and FPS’s - Evil West decided to go completely against that and create a straight from 2005 PS2 era Action-Shooter game that feels completely enjoyable start to finish.

Now, it has its issues (lack of enemy variety, short length, levels tend to blend into one after a while - as well as a distinct lack of visual/gameplay polish) BUT it’s still an incredibly fun time. The story is nothing to write home about, vampire hunter hunts down vampires and spoils plot to overthrow the USA etc etc.

But there’s something that was so fun about mixing a western with quick-draw style moments with a fast-paced action game. I really do, however, wish there was more use to half of the upgrades and abilities you get as half of them were pretty pointless and I’d only unlocked maybe half by the time I reached the final boss.

If this ever gets a sequel, I absolutely will be buying day 1.
