Started playing Evil West after it went on sale a couple months back. It's a beat-em-up in the vein of DMC. It's like a throwback to third-person action games from the early 2010s PS360 era. It's made by the same studio that made the Shadow Warrior reboot trilogy, so there's a healthy balance of fun gameplay and a story that keeps the action moving with occasional moments to breathe. And with a story about a badass cowboy fighting monsters, it's very fertile ground for a good time.

It's pretty well balanced, and I never really felt like my deaths were the game's fault. Well, mostly. The first two levels have some harsh red lighting, and enemies have red/yellow attack indicators, so I took a lot of cheap hits from the enemies blending into the environment. Probably doesn't help that I'm playing on our smaller kitchen TV. Since my mom's settled down in the living room, she's also pretty much completely taken over the TV, and my last two times playing, I only got an hour at most in before she asked to watch. With her weight loss, she doesn't snore anymore, so I never know if she's sleeping or resting her eyes.

Like any game with a big expansive moveset, I have trouble keeping track of all my available options. Just an hour in, I have the gauntlet, revolver, rifle, shotgun, and electric gauntlet. And there's still several more yet.
