#EVIL WEST GAME PASS PC#
That wasn’t so bad, though my RTX 2060 Super desktop PC was able to play smoothly at 60 fps with no stutters on High settings the vast majority of the time. Ultimately, I opted for setting a 40 FPS frame limit in the Steam Deck’s performance setting menu to get the most consistent performance. Frames dipped down to the low 20s on Epic or High settings, but after turning off motion blur (yuck), leaving on V-Sync, and lowering to Medium settings it was much better, hovering around 40-60 frames-per-second. Performance was a bit all over the place at first. It’s already optimized for controller support so all of the UI switched over to gamepad prompts immediately.
#EVIL WEST GAME PASS INSTALL#
You have to use the touchscreen or touchpad to install some Unreal Engine supporting files on first launch, but after that it ran great. To that end, I decided to install it on my Steam Deck (I’m using the 512GB model) and give it a try anyway. The UI is clearly designed to reflect a controller layout for quick reference and some commands, like pulling enemies towards you with the electric gauntlet, feel awkward on a keyboard. While I primarily played on my desktop PC, I found I vastly preferred using a gamepad over a mouse and keyboard.
Evil West on Steam Deckĭuring the review period, Evil West was still rated as “Unsupported” on Steam Deck, but that’s likely because it just hadn’t released and been certified yet.
There is rarely a stretch of time longer than 20 minutes in which you won’t either unlock a new ability, augment an existing weapon with a fresh effect, or find an entirely new gadget for dismembering enemies in glorious ways. The way combat is always expanding helps break up the otherwise monotonous layouts of Evil West’s levels. For example, you can increase the number of shots your pistol gets off in a single magazine, augment your rifle with electrical damage, and even incorporate new abilities like ground pounds and aerial combos to continue evolving your arsenal. Over the course of Evil West you’ll gradually unlock new weapons, powers, and upgrades that alter Jesse’s abilities in fun new ways. It’s a tale riddled with entertaining expletives and truly distinct characters, such as the fiercely opinionated doctor, Emilia Blackwell, so there’s never a dull moment – I just wish the story as a whole was more sophisticated than Jesse simply chasing down some bad people for revenge. You’ve got Illuminati-esque floating pyramids, portals to hell, and demonic little girls with skin-crawling voices.
Developer Flying Wild Hogs really latched onto the whole “Wild West, but Weird” idea and ran away with it screaming. Its story puts you in control of Jesse Rentier from The Rentier Institute, an organization founded by Jesse’s father to hunt down and eradicate all manner of vampires and other foul beasts.
Unlock new perks to evolve your monster-slaying mastery, crafting your own playstyle to defeat the supernatural hordes.The formula of Evil West’s levels is rarely mixed up save for a few unique situations, such as a wacky mine cart segment or the handful of times you walk around the base camp while being spoon fed exposition. Explore and fight in a narrative-driven campaign while upgrading your weapons and hunting tools. Kill bloodthirsty monstrosities in style as a lone hunter or in co-op with a friend. In visceral, explosive combat, unleash hell with your firearms, lightning-fueled gauntlet and gadgets. Rise up to become a Wild West Superhero, eradicate the vampire threat and save the United States! As one of the last agents in a top secret vampire-hunting institute, you are the final line between humanity and a deep-rooted terror that now emerges from the shadows. A dark menace consumes the American frontier.
