"There is a co-op mode apparently but I didn't get to test that, I didn't have anybody." I felt that on many levels.
I’ll play with you 😢
@@ashleyklassen7963 Sounds fun!
bruh all the friends i have are not even real
Damn, Falcon flew down south for the winter right when Jake needed a player 2.
Me. Own tons of coop games. Zero friend
I enjoy games like this, it's a straight up action adventure game that doesn't try to reinvent the wheel nor does it try to be something it's not. In a world of under developed & over developed games, evil West is a breath of fresh air ✌️
I’ll definitely check this out! After playing Elden Ring, Yakuza, Valhalla, Cyberpunk 2077, RDR2, I need a break from these massive 100+ hour games. I miss the nice short and sweet games and this looks exactly what im looking for
Hey bad guy!
the plague tale games are like this as well. 15 hours, good story, done.
Valhalla was dogshit, such a shame
This game was so much fun. Need more games like this.
👆🏻
Whos Watching because the game is on ps plus
you mean PS essential, they get free games every month. PS Plus you have to pay more but get more games during the mid-month along with the monthly games essential members get
No ps plus is what the whole thing is called
The tiers are
Essential
Extra
Premium
Ps plus has turned these videos into "before you download" 😂😅
@@VanJ900before u download 😂😂😂 sounds soo right
Yup
Love linear games tbh some games add too much into them this is basically perfect for people that like just story and linear games obviously there are some games that are good at adding things into the game but not overwhelming the player e.g gowr, metro, resident evils etc
Agreed. Also this game is ya know enjoyable which is more than you can say for some games looking at you from software
THIS!!
Facts!!
Fun fact, you can choose not to be overwhelmed, just stick to the main story and you can play open world games the same as a regular one! Nobody is forcing you to do anything optional.
@@cenciende9401 That's not how it works
I really appreciate how you don’t sound like you’re just trying to sound smart and sophisticated and instead give a genuine review. Looking at you, IGN.
IGN so bad😂 I can’t stand them
I legit stopped playing PS5 for months & let my brother keep it running in his room but I’ve seen this game a few months back & seeing this out now is exciting. Downloading right now as I type this 🙌🏽
No side quest, no rpg, no loot. As soon as I heard those words, I bought the game.
A Game for guys my age late 30s mid 40s who just want to shoot crap without grinding without micro management
I had so much fun with Evil West. I really hope there’s gonna be a sequel to it.
The game footage and description gives me so much Bulletstorm vibes, which is a very good thing..! I loved that game enough to have already bought it for both for 360 and PS4. Just simple escapist gameplay fun set in a creatively designed world. I hope this one holds to that standard… 😁
👌
This game is amazing, definitely got red dead revolver vibes. Definitely takes you back to the good Ole days of gaming.
Wow nothing like red dead. This game is far too restrictive to even compare the master piece that is red dead tf
@@terrancecook838 he’s talking about red dead revolver you nonce Jesus Christ almighty
More like Darkwatch vibes.
@@terrancecook838 I feel the way I feel 😌
@@Loadedzerk I can see some of that too
I tried it last night and I was so happy that it's a full on old school game
This series is literally a money saver
Nice to see a game that is straight forward and fun. No bs agenda, no huge skill tree, no grinding. Just jump in and go.
Game is actually looks very cool. Might get it if it ever goes on a big sale
I picked this up yesterday on a Xbox sale. I got a few hours in last night and Jake couldn't be more right about it having an "old-school" game type feel. It was tons of fun. Can't wait to dive in over the weekend and get to the guts of this game.
There are not many games these days that are as forgiving for older graphic cards (GTX 1050). I can play this on epic settings at 30fps and it gives me that old-school R&R. So, a definite must-buy for me!
I’m in love with this game for the sole purpose of being a complete polished AAA game on release, which is a rare commodity nowadays
It's free with ps plus this month and I can't wait to give it a go. I miss thise types of game that just let you play and have fun. Guardians of the Galaxy are exactly that as well. If Evil West is even half as fun as that I'm happy.
I think Plague Tale does this simple format brilliantly, the levels (or chapters) are linear but not so that your hand is held, it tells a brilliant story and develops the character with dialogue as you are walking through the level. Hopefully this game and future games follow that format, I don’t want every single game to be linear but just a few so have a choice of gameplay because everything does feel complicated or open world at the minute.
This game is great, it’s a refreshing new take of the Wild West setting that has you gunslinging and electrifying until your hearts content. The game knows exactly what it is and it sets out to be just that. It has a good upgrading system for the character as well as all your weapons also so plenty of options if you’re like me and love having a good upgrading mechanic in games. If you’re looking for an arcade feeling third person linear shooter that is easy to pick up on the fly this should definitely be near the top of your list. Just on a personal opinion if I were to try and compare this game to anything else gameplay wise at least I would say it’s a loose mash up of god of war & gears of war.
I love games like this. We need more or them, but, perhaps add a bit more depth and length.
Agreed. I’m holding off on buying it even though it’s on sale for 45$
All I could think during this was how sweet a Mistborn era 2 game would be in this style.
Worked on localization for this one! :)
It makes me happy to hear that it's out there and people are enjoying it!
10:07 Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath did a good job with that
Just beat this. Really does feel like the best way to describe it is a mix of old and new gow set in the wild west. I felt the same way about vamps but actually like all the different creatures bc a lot of them are linked to American myths like the jersey devil and skinwalkers
I'm actually enjoying this game, I think it's pretty underrated. I think the difficulty curve is kind of bad though. I went from being able to take no hits whatsoever to dying constantly between like one encounter. I won't finish it before Callisto Protocol releases, and I will definitely be ditching it to play that. It's not good enough to delay me from playing that.
Yes it is. DF says it's shader compilation causing it. The way they figured it out is the stuttering happens every time something is seen in the game for the first time. If you were to restart a checkpoint everything you already did would be studder free. A shame they released it that way.
I was actually going to do Kalisto first, but then after it came out and I heard how bad it is I went ahead with evil west and boy am I glad I did
This comment didn't age well
@@trenbolognasandwich6021 The comment aged like a slice of cheese under a sofa
@@trenbolognasandwich6021 @ all lol
Now this is art...
Found it on the summer sale for 35. Guess i gotta give it a try.
Looks way more fun than ragnarok
So… if RDR2 and Ragnorok are my favourites, is there a good chance I’ll feel like my money is well spent?
Update ?
Any game passed San Andreas is beyond too complicated with the buttons and actions. Happy to hear a game for old dawgs like me.
This is one of the PlayStation Plus monthly games for January and I can't wait to play it! Looks so sick
Honestly.. hadn’t heard of this game until this vid popped up on my homepage. I’m getting it.
👍🏼
there is a game that is familiar with Evil West's kinda vibe.. i played it on ps2 ages ago and its called Darkwatch..but its first person shooter kind of game..
now with evil west being release..its kinda make me happy that the game devs decides to dive in third person game with wild west and vampire kinda setting..and thats true they dont make games like this anymore..im looking forward for more games like evil west ngl..
This reminds me of Shadows of the Damned. Something that I never got to finish because I was young and new to gaming. My mom made me trade it in when she realised that I was too young for it. Now I can't really find it anywhere.
Its the unofficial darkwatch continuation we all wanted
This is a $39.99 kinda game for me. Definitely going to wait for a sale or Game Pass release. But for the right price, it looks very fun. I’ll just replay The Order and/or Bulletstorm for now.
Me: Hey the mc shares my name! Thats neato!
Gameranx: 7:16
Me: oh he me for real ,for real.
The first thing I noticed was the mocap on the guy running & jumping. Looks like a little kid or something very off from an athletic, tough guy.
I wasn't looking forward to it until you said it was fully co-op! Now I'm going to add it to the list of games I need to pick up... On sale.
Reminds me a bit of Bulletstorm both visually & gameplay wise like the way he stuns enemies & then finishes them for example & I love it! 😂
This game looks like one of those projects that never comes out but it actually did
With the coop aspect it almost looks like Lost Planet 2. I loved playing that with a friend. Unfortunatly Evil West, has no Split-Screen Coop. I think they missed out on that opportunity 😔
Can’t wait for the day we get the Black Myth before you buy video 😮💨
🤞it’s good
Psplus gang
I'm straight up obsessed with this game, playing it over and over again lol.
Are you still playing?
I enjoyed mashing my way through this on my day off. I downloaded it for free from PS plus monthly games. Lots of fun for an average gamer like me
super fun punch’em up shoot ‘em up game, I actually think it’s underrated to be honest.
Does it break anyone’s heart when Jake says he didn’t have anyone to co-op with?
I bet there’s a whole community of people who would love to game with the man himself.
The game looks complete and not buggy. That's my standard now, it's gotta be clean.
You are Jericho Cross. Gunslinger, Renegade, Outlaw. Behind you, a bloody trail of robbery and revenge. Ahead of you, one last train to rob. Tonight, your life will end. And your legend will begin.
It’s like the feeling of having Fortunate Junk instead of Lucky Charms for breakfast in your poor household.
I have to admit: I legit thought this was a rdr2 dlc. I mean the cover character looked like Arthur Morgan!
"Feels like a game from the PS3/Xbox360 era" That's all I needed to hear I'm checking this shit out!
so, it's strait forwad game with HD ... nice, thanks for the cover up! am going to buy it in sales
To me, the shadow Warrior franchise is JUST PERFECT AF! ALL 3 SW GAMES ARE SUBTLY DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER WHICH I DIG! GAMERANX SHOULD TALK ABOUT THIS UNDERRATED SERIES A WHOLE LOT MORE SINCE THEY LIKE THIS GAME [Evil west] FROM THE SAME DEVS!
Shadows of the Damned is the first thing that comes to mind when seeing things about this game. I platinum shadows twice, so if this game is like that I will be all in.
looks good. Definetly something to play after Ragnarok
After my first playthrough and working on 2nd on Evil, this game fucking rocks. The combat system is excellent, makes sense seeing as these were the same guys who made Shadow Warrior 3, and while that game had some issue the combat was not one of them. This game is an easy 8.5/10
Fun little game that I'm most likely going to finish. That kind of says alot.
I’m getting this next week for sure when I get Piaf looks mint I just spent my Xmas psn on last of us - re village gold edition and some madden stuff - next up after I download my new call of duty, the new, PS five Witcher and Gotham Knights just got 2 tb of storage thank god lol ! This game looks great. I love these old school games.
Games like this are fun to play, the problem for me is when they are priced at 60$+ for an afternoons playtime.
This is GOW in the Wild West with guns.
I picked it up thinking it was like Darkwatch. It mainly felt a lot like God of War 2018
I love video games that are played like this, just as you say it’s just straight forward. It’s a video game. I’ll be getting this just because of this reason! 🤌
These games are perfect for people who work and got responsibilities, you can enjoy them while the game drives you and you get immersed in it. A lot of games nowadays require too much investment of time and concentration in order to really enjoy
Truth
i have a wife and 3 kids and work nothing but 12 hour shifts. never once have i played a game thought it was “too much of an investment of time and concentration” if i spend $60 on a game i expect to get at least $60 worth of my time. stop complaining boomer
Bang on.
@@feuc Pretty immature reply for a father of 3 I must say. Everybody is different. Since the last few years, I don't WANT to put as much effort in a video game anymore. It's about enjoying differently our time with our games as well, not only the capacity of doing it. So stop judging whatever gen you are
@@feuc sir u are not a Boomer but a person with thoughts and feelings.
Who is here after seeing this game on Xbox Gamepass.
I was pleasantly surprised it brought back the fun I remembered playing older title in early 2000s. New games are just so boring I'm looking at you starfield.😂😂
@@StarDark4rightttt?! The gameplay is just fun as hell.
You got me
I literally said "Doom meets red dead. I'm in."
I just started yesterday, worth it, just got the grenades for nests and I’m in my way to to lab where u can upgrade the gauntlet. Game is 🔥
I feel like you can hear the excitement in his voice in how refreshing it was to just play a game that let's you load up, instantly bash, smash, and shoot sh*t and just enjoy the mechanics without feeling like you have to invest yourself
Or invest A LOT of time into learning how to play well. I played enough super difficult games back in the 70s - 80s, I'd rather just play a game with a great story and fun mechanics nowadays. Of course, to each their own, but I'm happy there are still games like this being made as AAA titles.
Like all the blockbusters nowadays? How refreshing
@@pranze3484 - I hear what you're say and you're right. But you got me thinking about blockbusters though. What was the last blockbuster that came out? And when I say BB, I mean console-buying game, not just a game that did well. I feel like RDR2 was the last great BB. At least that I remember.
@@stephenthomas1492 I guess that's it more or less indeed, also to add to the discussion I feel the trend of games that give no challenge and babysit you started around Prince of Persia 2008.
Facts every game is some tryhard shit now sometimes I wanna playa game I get get into like that sometimes I just wanna chill shoot and blow shit up
Let's hope this gets other developers on board to start making these simple but awesome games like these again.
It will only work if it these models make more money than the ones that everyone hates. We have to stop paying for microtransactions and games based around exploitable avenues rather than just a game, otherwise it'll never happen.
@@over9000optimally couldn’t have said it better
Have you played Mad Max? it was the same with that game.
@@werdle92 🥺👍🏻
while I agree, there's also an audience out there complaining about the lack of additional/side content. Though for them I think it's important to identify what you like/don't like and choose accordingly.
That said yes, I want something simple and straight forward sometimes - and they're becoming harder to come by.
Exactly what I thought it looked like! A "good old game", straight with linear levels, bosses, cutscenes.. like in the PS3/X360 era.
And yeah even before that era. It's more in recent years we get lot's of complicated games with tons of upgrades and different resources to collect/trade and RGP elements and mini-games, etc. Games have more abilities and longer skill trees for each entry. Sometimes it's good with the good old game structure
it's sad you have to refer to this as PS3/360 era title when this is literally just a hack and slasher game.(No offense to you) It just shows how companies only care about money and dont care for a quality product. Game titles like these are then considered niche or rare because companies are out of touch with what players want in specific titles and then INSTEAD pump it full of microtranactions and terrible design choices and questionable social commentary.
@@diligencehumility6971 gotta love those RGP elements
And the best part, it actually works! I haven’t seen horrible frame rate drop off or freezes or crashing or god awful glitches. Seems like forever we’ve had a game that releases in an actual playable state
@@Lawrence_Talbot I agree it's a trend we see. But Ragnarok released recently and it runs flawless. Unlike A Plague Tale and Gotham Knights
Love the fact it's linear so fed up of everything being open world as a gaming adult it's puts me off playing massive games with the lack of time I have
Is not even funny anymore how many of us are in the same scenario 😂
Same here for me. These open world games these days are just too massive and overwhelming.
@@facelessbeing6209100%, I feel like so many of them are so huge nowadays that I’d still feel a bit intimidated by them even if I had all the free time in the world.
I miss stuff like this game, the PS3/X-box 360 era spawned pure fun with titles that were like Evil West.
There are tons of linear games. Significantly more than open-world that's for sure 😂 Grow up and whine about something else.
@@ericsuarez834then you're a dummy who doesn't know how to find games 😂
I've been so pumped for this game. I love westerns and fantasy monster hunters like Van Helsing.
I literally bought this game only because there is nothing to play until Calista protocol.
@@danielray6060 try neon white. You'll thank me later lol.
Me, too! I really loved Weird West earlier this year, though that one seemed to appeal to a slightly more niche audience. I'm hoping this one does a bit better in the "mainstream gamer" market, because I want more games with this setting, in this sort of sub-genre.
@The Rotten💯 a recommendation all the same!
Heavy darkwatch vibes and im 100% here for it, this and gungrave the SAME DAY, ill be busy for awhile...
Couldn't be happier with that description of the game. I'm so sick of world-consuming open world games or live services. The fact that this is just an honest solid video game is the best thing I could have heard.
Ya beat and ya done tho
@@trickshotgamingtrickshotgaming yeah, that's an option in videogames, you can replay if you like it. I prefer that over gigantic open worlds where you spend literal hours just going from one point to another, or visiting question marks on a map. Obviously it's up to anyone what to play but last year's the offer of games has been limited to open world, RPG kind of games
I don't mind open world games like RDR2/RDO but I hate most live services. There's so many games that are just fighting, though and in sick of those. I like a balance. That being said, I'd be fine with a smaller map as long as it's got lots of detail and NPCs with effort put into them. A good story.
@@trickshotgamingtrickshotgaming ohno :( i wish it would force me to grind forever until i hate it, like so many games.
@@cirescythe hey each to there own much rather have a 100+ hour game then a 20 hour game I just wasted 70 on
Wish more games like this were made today
same
Careful what you wish for, we all know what video game companies are like.

💯
Ya,it's in my queue
Yessir, been a blast so far!
This game actually looks like a lot of fun. At first I was concerned about the short length of the game, But then thought about all the longer games I haven't been able to finish yet with a busy full time job. So maybe a shorter game is what I need right now. Love the review, I think I'm going to get this game after all.
How long is the game
How long the game
12 hours
Including main story and side missions?
@@smoothjack3249 of you take your time it's around 12 hours
I just started it this morning, not very far but I'm already loving it. It is like the glory days of AA video games. I miss the AA days of the 360/PS3 games. This is as close as a DarkWatch sequel as I'm likely to get, so I'm down!
I love RPG mechanics and skill trees, and even loot in games...when done right. It is becoming over saturated in modern games though.
It's refreshing to play a game with a decent B-movie style story and a game made to be fun, like games should be.
Take note publishers and developers, make more games like these. There is a market of people looking for these experiences. It'll probably cost you less money for development as well.
Whelp, that Darkwatch comment just sold me!
@Logan Callahan
I think I preferred Darkwatch, but its still fun. I have to admit it that it was overstaying it's welcome after a while. It's been a long time since I've played Darkwatch though so I may have had the same issue back then.
exactly what I thought! nowadays I don't have as much time to play video games as in my early 20's therefore this type of game fulfilled my need to play games without the need to think too much and invest so much.
This looks like one of those classic games where you sit on the couch, turn your brain off and just enjoy!
nailed it!
Something about this game had me thinking it was going to be dumb fun. I’m glad it turned out even better than that!
dumb fun is correct
A little too much copy and paste from God of War mechanics for me but if people don't mind.
Whos here after they gave it for ps5/ps4 for psplus?
At this point the gaming industry needs more of these, as funny as that is to say. I'm not a kid anymore. I have kids. I have 45 Mintues to have some fun during nap time and I don't need a 100 hour open world right now.
nailed it.
Well the gaming industry doesn't have to punish the rest of us lol.
Hell yea, man. Games for dads!! Lol
@@carlos66965 Nobody is forcing you to play games you don't wanna play 🤷.
@@MakaveliTheDon2 you don’t have to be a dad to not have a lot of time playing games …we need more games like this and less soul games
Hugh Jackmans Van Helsing is a sleeper hit and I’m all for it
hell yeah
There is always a place in the video game market for linear games. So long as the presentation and experience offered is good. The Devil May Cry series are linear, and they are still popular. This seems like it follows that kind of style. I'm definitely interested.
Might be my GOTY. Just a honest, fun, straight forward COMPLETE game. No season pass, no lootbox or random stuff like that. Just play and have fun. Games like this are very rare nowadays, sadly, so I gladly bought day 1 to show support to the game itself and how the dev/pub decided to handle it, both great.
Pretty late response on my part but elden ring is a fun complete game. While it’s not straight forward since it’s an open world it made you want to explore the world w/ how beautiful it looks
@@CalamityStrm there is upcoming dlc actualy
@@obitosenju3768 Ik dlc is coming but that’s not what determines if a game is complete. DLC for the most part in an game is an expansion meaning it expands upon the main game. ER doesn’t need DLC to feel complete
@@CalamityStrm ok and?
@@vothbetilia4862 I’ve made my points, if you need more to understand that’s on you and if you’re trollin then w.e ig
The shadow warrior games are dumb fun and this looks like more of the same. Either way, we need more games like this!
Are the Shadow Warrior reboot games fun? I played the original games from the 90s but have been hesitant to try the reboots.
@@staples6 I didn't even know they were reboots lol. I have only played two and it is the definition of dumb fun. The game tries to be the most dumb game you have ever played and I found it endearing. The humor is really crude and offensive. They probably wouldn't get away with it today. I can't speak on the new one but I'm guessing they most likely tamed the humor down. The gameplay is basic but fun.
Jake you had me at Hugh Jackman's van helsing, been waiting for a before you buy on this game since I first heard about it and it looks exactly what I was hoping for.
Thank god for something like this game, my favorite games are single player or coop games like this and like jake said about 360/ps3 era
I've seen a lot of mixed to negative reviews on this game for the very reason I am excited about it. It's not afraid to just be a video game and let the player just have fun and that is exactly what I want from this! It would be awesome to see more games like this come out.
It’s a hell of a lot of fun
Agreed
People need some kind of immersive world now. Those are great, but I also like just having a fun time.
Just got the game, so far it's a blast, people need to get with the times, games are meant to be fun and enjoyable. Not massively immersive story all the time etc
@@vothbetilia4862 I agree, there is 100% room for both types of games. I still haven't picked this up yet but I'm still planning on it in the near future! Glad you are enjoying it!
I’m definitely picking this game up! This honestly gives me vibes of if they made Ash from Evil Dead into a cowboy, and I’m all for it
You know how I can tell you are dumb? You use the word vibes like you are cool lol
Lol Evil West...it works perfectly 👌
Ehh almost. This is still not as wacky as evil dead should be. But honestly this format is exactly what the new Evil Dead game should have been.
A well-executed 10 hour linear action game will always get my attention.
Not if it’s full price because $7 an hour is a ripoff.

Been waiting for this game for awhile now, so happy people are enjoying it. The concept, world, and action look like a lot of fun! This will be a nice change of pace after I fully finish God of War Ragnarok.

I miss these types of games. Just enjoy the gameplay. I don't have time to research about which skill tree to chose. The stupid lore, the ton on conversations and side quests. Just give me fun gameplay.
The game looks amazing! I'm sure I am going to buy it.
I'm a western/fantasy fan who always wanted to see more of these genres combining, plus I was also just thinking about if there was anymore of these type of games. So yeah, I'm excited.
