[@rthj6446]

Well written review, as always. But I think that chillUp got the right take on this one. But dont be down, you cant win them all. 1886 was unplayable with cinematic FPS cap, idiotic and on rails AI. That game was a travesty. Anything compared to that game should be in "never touch". And Evil West is worth a play for the right reasons. Now, you might have lost to an Aussie. But dont worry, you are still worthy of love.

[@MstarSmith]

Have been playing it for a few hours and honestly have to say after months of trying to find an interesting game this definitely made the cut. Really enjoyable experience so far!

[@toptiertech7291]

You must have beat almost every other game if this is what’s left

[@ldshasnobrain]

This game was made for you.

[@Kenzo-sj9xb]

If it's a callback to the 360 and PS3 action games of that generation... This is my kind of game. Thanks for the video ACG

[@Yoni123]

Yeah, The Open-World has been overdone. It's time to get back to quality level design.

[@xNachtmahRx]

I think most of these reviewers missed this little detail. I see EW as a throwback to this era. These games were a bit clumsy even back then and even with bigger budgets. These are not meant to be Devil May Cry animation cancel slashers. Still, I wouldn't buy it for 50 bucks either. I would recommend Binary Domain until EW goes on sale

[@shannonbayley3684]

Reminds me of Darkwatch from PS2. I miss these types of games. Can't wait to pick this up ASAP.

[@andremalerba5281]

Exactly!

[@gangstuhpenguin3013]

@@Yoni123 You thinking linear corridors and constant open combat arenas are quality level design is absolutely hilarious.

[@Captain.AmericaV1]

I'm getting it. Looks good and less issues than AAA games usually do.

[@CrazyxEnigma]

Late 1800s- early 1900s industrial revolution era steampunk with magic and monsters is some of my favorite settings. This, Arcanum, and Grim Dawn are great if anybody has more recs for games or books set in these kind of worlds I'd love to hear them!

[@joshpries9376]

Xbox/PS2 had a game named Deathwatch in this genre as well, was a fun enough game. Weird West is a bit more traditional but has its fair share of supernatural stuff, and Hard West is an excellent XCOM style game in the genre. If you are a TTRPG afficinado Deadlands is this same setting, very well done.

[@alexanderthomas6634]

I wrote a book called The Magician's Sin that is set in an alternate 1930s featuring magic, monsters, mobsters, and an anti-hero with a heart of gold if that sounds interesting to you!

[@phillipgrimes7651]

Dark Watch is an amazing game

[@Valkirth]

have you checked out steel rising?

[@absolutionis]

There's the miniatures game (40k-like) named Malifaux. Besides the miniatures game, they have a free podcast with stories called Breadside Broadcast. There the Tabletop RPG called Deadlands. Also the X-com-like video game Hard West.

[@jscriber100]

I'm really liking that the story doesn't take itself too seriously, it knows that combat takes the drivers seat. I'll wait for sale, thanks.

[@NoMansLand98]

If you're on PC you can buy it for less than £30

[@originalityisdead.9513]

@cescfabregas9000 It's £33 on CD keys. I've just tried it on my PS5 and it looks absolutely horrendous. I've bought it for PC, wish I'd checked CD keys first.

[@NoMansLand98]

@Originality is Dead. £29 on ShopTo for PC

[@GAMINGBLAZE]

@@NoMansLand98 $16 here

[@manwithballsonarm6775]

That's because instead of actually trying on the story and making a good game they give you a god of war combat rip off with waves of enemies through the whole game instead of something original and fun happening besides killing waves of enemies

[@Valorian1106]

Finished Evil West recently, loved every minute of it.

[@SkwerlLord556]

idk if anyone remembers that game on the ps2, Darkwatch, but it feels like its a spiritual successor/inspired by that game. At least, that's what I think of whenever I see this game lol

[@MagicSwordFilms]

The review surprised me after seeing the title, I was looking forward to this one so I'm glad I watched the full review. Seems like you enjoyed most of it

[@Ermac_______________________69]

It's $89 where I live, that might be too much for this one but I really want to play this, looks very promising and I want to support a company that is willing to step up and make a great "original" game despite any limitations they might have compared to AAA premium game companies. Gonna wait for the sale after Christmas.

[@KM-lc6hj]

Damn 89? The price where I live is 60

[@toptiertech7291]

It’s a knockoff GoW. If you ever played GoW then watching this gameplay should make it obvious

Sounds like this will be a cult game. Flawed yet has a certain charm to it.

[@pandagonerogue.140]

How is this game flawed? It’s giving you exactly what the developers planned from the beginning… nothing more nothing less. Broken games go for $60-$70 and people throw their money, but a complete playable game comes out with its set content and it’s a big deal.

I gave it a go this weekend and once I got over the graphical shortcomings like “Gotham Knights” I can say I enjoyed the Physics and the awesome Headshot animations 👍🏾.

Only an occasional viewer, but I do love and respect your reviews immensely. You have your brand and you stick to it. Keep up the good work!

[@WhyAreYouGhe]

This game knows what it is and never takes itself more seriously then it should. I'm having blast with it and I HIGHLY recommended to fans of action-brawlers (actually very similar to god of war, just with minimal story, but also no bloat).

[@emperororthopox1691]

Western and fantasy mixed together is my jam Weird west was another game that mixed the genre and I absolutely loved it

[@jjsavior]

Was eagerly awaiting this one. Bit after I heard about the 1080p 60fps on console. I had my doubts. Thanks for confirming them. I will wait a few months and check to see if the game gets better optimized.

FWH isn't known for releasing a lot of DLC... Shadow Warrior 2 is the kind of game that really could have made good use of new weapons and levels and it basically got nothing.

[@TheRavenShadowsWolf]

Funnily enough, Mules are not always sterile. I did look it up in order to make a story about a Mul MC (from DarkSun, whose name is based on that animal, and whose reproductive ability reads as "sterile." For that exact presumption, which I also held up to the point I researched the topic) There have been several - though still rarer to note - cases of female mules bearing young. Perhaps not to other mules, but that would be the key. They definitely can't breed with each other, because of too many genetic commonalities.

[@defosh369]

It seems right up my alley when it comes to throwback games. I did love some less popular 360 era games back in the day, and well, there where one of my favorite games actually. Like Inversion, Binary Domain, Red Faction: Armageddon, Singularity, Timeshift, Army of Two, Lost Planet 3, Darksiders or Darkness (and many more, some of them played on a PC though). I will definitely give it a shot. My nostalgia is tingling with this one for sure.

[@logankerlee]

Skill Up said the 3D audio was great and couldn’t believe he said that. Sometimes there is just way to much going on to use audio to your advantage.
