Evil West is on Game Pass for PC and console

If you have a GOG account, you may have Ghost of a Tale in your library after it was given away either last year or late 2022

I will definitely play all three. Ghost of a Tale is the only one that I am going in expecting to beat.

I have mixed feelings about Flying Wild Hog's (Hard Reset, Shadow Warrior reboot trilogy) history and heard that Evil West can get repetitive for its 10-20 hour runtime, but a supernatural western beat 'em up that is on Game Pass? Yeah, I'm giving it a try.

I did not like Umurangi Generation when I first played it 2-3 years ago on Game Pass. There were a lot of little things, but the time limit on levels felt very discouraging, so I dropped it. Since then, I guess that they've patched in an option to remove the time limit, and the game was just on sale for $1.50 USD (around $2 with the DLC) for awhile (it's a shame that it ended just before the drawing), so I will see if my view of it will change for the better.

Should be in for Evil West as it was on my backlog, though I recognize it looks like a solid B game more than anything else.

Umurangi I beat a few years ago, so it's not one I feel inclined to play again. I enjoyed it enough at the time but there was a similar(ish...) type of game, Sludge Life, that was more my speed.

I was going through the old Post When You Beat a Game topics on the logging site the other day to save my writeups and happened to see your ranking of photography games with Umurangi at the bottom but I had already bought it and nominated it by then

Here's hoping you like it more this time! And yeah, it'd be nice if the sale was still going

I bought Umurangi on sale which is why I supported, interested to give it a shot. I'm sad I didn't get Alba as well for double photography.

I bounced off of Umurangi, but I didn't really give it enough of a chance. Suppose I should try again.

I'm interested in Evil West, but not at its asking price.

Don't think it'll be enough to get me to bite, but Evil West is $25 with a choice of a second game in a Fanatical bundle.

I won't be finishing Penny for this. I'm just not having enough fun.
