The value story

The value story

Across all 39 discounts in the 4 years tracked, the median cut is 70 percent, about 5 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 2 weeks ago.

It is pricier than 98 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 62 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Sir Whoopass™: Immortal Death ($10.19, scores 54) and Red Dead Online ($19.99, scores 57) both outscore it.

What players say

Evil West is the perfect "mid-tier" game that you would have rented from a store, bought on a sale, or borrowed from a friend. It's not mid-tier because it's gameplay, story, or general production value isn't good enough; it's because there isn't enough in the box and I want more. It's the kind of game a 15 year old version of myself would have fallen in love with, but that I hold an affection and appreciation for...

On sale it's a good time killer. No reload button, no map, the game is relatively linear but the enemies and combat get pretty repetitive. I skipped every cutscene so if you're looking for a great story this may not be it. It's stable, looks great for what it is. 6.2/10

I would recommend it for solo play, but for co-op is a heck no. The game is very glitchy and unstable which results to disconnections... Unsure why the ping even shoots up and disconnects steam chat as well...
