Evil West is a refreshing blast from the past that nails the most important parts of its old-school, vampire-hunting action. The combat is smooth and its weapon options are ludicrously entertaining, but low enemy variety and overly similar level layouts can grow somewhat monotonous after a while. This is far from being the most complex or innovative action game I’ve played, but every so often you just want to have some fun smashing in monster skulls.
Yeeehaw! Howdy, partner! Saddle up and mosey on down to check out the best western-themed video games you can rustle up on the PS4 today.
While not on the PS4, if you want a pretty imaginative and downright fun Cowboy game you should check out Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. Not only is it a great arcade FPS in its own right but one that has some Narrative Elements that interact with the Gameplay in a pretty surprising and novel way. Something a few of the AAAAAAAA games should be looking at in order to marry the Narrative with the Gameplay better.
The best part is that you can get it for a few dollars on GOG or STEAM during their sales.

PS Blog: "Today, we’re happy to reveal the inaugural PlayStation Plus Monthly Games lineup of 2024. January’s titles of A Plague Tale: Requiem, Evil West and Nobody Saves the World will be available to PlayStation Plus members on Tuesday, January 2 until Monday, February 5."
Nice... I just bought Evil West a couple months ago but never opened it. Now I won't have to. And i hear good things about Plague Tale.
Plagues Tail Req is good. One of my favorite Dual Sense trigger effects on the slingshot.
I already bought Evil West on PC just recently, I've owned Nobody Saves the World for a long time, I really loved the first Plague Tale game, I was waiting for it to hit $30 on Steam before I bought it.
Considering the games, this is one of the best months we've had in a while.
I have every one of these on my wishlist. This is great!
I loved the first Plague Tale.
A Plague Tale: Requiem and Evil West are both fantastic games. What a great month
the game looks like mad fun.
Some of the people with review copies said it's an outrider clone. I'll probably play this after The Callisto Protocol
I really wish this had come out during the summer. I'm still neck deep in God of War now and I'm mad for Callisto but won't be finished in time for that either
Already downloaded; just waiting for it to release tonight.
It always feels like IGN scores based on the game‘a budget and not the quality of the gameplay
