Evil West

Evil West launched November 22, 2022, with StreamerHouse hitting 951 viewers as Flying Wild Hog delivered their vampire-hunting Western with mixed-positive reception. The Polish studio delayed from September to polish the game, shipping with 73 on Metacritic—respectable if unspectacular. Critics praised the "old-school banger" approach to action, calling combat "fast-paced and endlessly entertaining" despite calling the game "somewhat dated." Reviews settled on "enjoyable 7/10" territory—fun chunky action inspired by Devil May Cry combos and 2018 God of War's third-person melee, but lacking innovation or lasting impact. PC Gamer noted "far from the most complex or innovative action game, but it nails the most important parts of its monster-killing campaign." The game knew its lane: deliver satisfying vampire-slaying combos in a weird West setting, don't overthink it, ship it. StreamerHouse viewers in 2022 got exactly what the box promised—no pretense of revolution, just competent action from a studio that understood their strengths. Evil West won't win awards or stick in memory, but provided exactly the 15-hour distraction players needed. Sometimes "good enough" really is good enough.
