While Jesse has a slew of guns at his disposal, he also has a powerful melee weapon and even a flamethrower later on. It’s definitely odd.Įvil West is a bit of a mixed genre. There are trophies for playing in certain ways in an effort to highlight the options available to the player, but you’ll probably find your favorite way to destroy hordes of enemies in a short time.Īlso, some cinematics have very awkward cutting, which makes you think you accidentally skipped something, but upon replaying a few sections it was determined that, no, this was actually how that scene was written. In fact, once some of Jesse’s main abilities are unlocked, it becomes very easy to cheese moves and simply shock your way to victory. Note that playing in co-op does scale the difficulty up a bit, though those playing on the Easy/Story difficulty level shouldn’t find many chokepoints where things become too tough. The solo campaign can be completed in around 10-15 hours, depending mostly on difficulty level. Characters are fully voiced, though outside of cutscenes their mouths do not match what they are saying, if they move at all. Animations are generally smooth, though they are sometimes awkward in cutscenes. Graphically, some of Evil West’s landscapes are beautiful, and while character models are serviceable, they aren’t usually much more than that. Levels usually load in quicker than you can read the interstitial text, and adaptive triggers are used for some of Jesse’s weapons.
Unlike more recent games, however, you cannot switch between these modes without rebooting the game, which is odd to see and means you really have to think about which mode you want to play the game in because autosaves aren’t too plentiful.
There’s no slowdown to speak of, and the game boots with a graphics option set to prioritize image quality over performance. The story’s not too deep, but sometimes you just want to play a game to forget your troubles and enjoy the simple act of killing hordes of the underworld.Įvil West uses the old reliable Unreal Engine 4, which hums along swimmingly on the PS5. A war between vampires and humans has just begun because one sect of vampires fears that the technological progress humans are making will cause them to surpass the eternal blood drinkers. The game takes some obvious liberties with history, but it does weave an entertaining alternate reality in which cholera outbreaks were in actuality a bit of necromancy gone horribly wrong, for example. This institute has been tasked by the United States government to protect the fledgling country from all manner of supernatural beasts including vampires, werewolves (or something like them), and others.
Evil West stars Jesse Rentier (pronounced Ren-tea-ay), son to William Rentier of the Rentier Institute.
