Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

Cheese Rating: 84/100

The campaign of this game is a little short but it is incredibly polished - the voice acting is great, the story is gripping and the gun play/level design is intuitive and fun. There is plenty of replayability in the different modes and difficulties the game has to offer and its exciting trying to beat your friends scores on arcade levels. Definitely worth the price (especially if its on sale)!

Really enjoyed this. Had a few bugs and glitches with audio and visual hitches. It is older though and deserves the play through.

a stunning game, the mc is the goat the ending will most probably get you combat is also very good
overall a very good,must try once

Great game, one of the last good games from Ubisoft. Worth our time even though it's diffrent than the first 2 games of the series.

Simple and fun linear shooter with an entertaining story.

Legit some of the most fun games you can have in the western genre its simple but it has charm,it has honest writing and a good sense of humor,once you are familiar with the system its all about accuracy and speed 8/10

this is an amazing cowboy action game the artwork is stunning, a perfect game to live out all of your wild west fantasies.
the duels can be extremely frustrating at first but once you get the hang of them they may just become your favorite part of the game.

This game is really fun. It is satisfying to shoot and kill enemies in this game and I really liked the comic book style visuals. It was also cool to have Silas talk about his story and have something new pop up in the environment. The duels are an acquired taste and I'm sure there are people out there that don't like them. For me, they grew on me and I really started to like them towards the end of the game. The ending for this game is also REALLY good in my opinion. The only thing I would change is make the game longer and add more level variety if possible. Definitely get it on sale!

An average FPS really elevated by being very stylish. Great voice work and distinct visuals save this from being forgettable. The dueling is also a pretty cool mechanic.

A game that scratches I never knew I had . This game feels like what The good bad and ugly sounds like . The skills provide apt progression , the story itself while cheesy is good and feels very wild west . The true west difficulty is a good challenge . Only problem I'd say is hunting for the nuggets of truth buuuuut the gameplay is so good that restarting honestly doesn't even remotely feel bad especially with all the skills you have .

this one was one of those games i grew up playing, very flawed and sometimes bullshit. however it's enjoyable and good

I hope it helped!)

If your wondering if you should buy this after you saw the discount, then the answer is yes, great art style for a game that game out in 2013 and if you love the cowboy/west games then again yes i recommend this, the fighting style and the guns everything is top tier Highly recommend

certified hood classic, although it can be finished in about 4 hours and is occasionally painfully easy.

I had my eye on this game for a while as it looked fun and was on sale often, I decided to buy it over the christmas sale and I am so happy that I did. This game while not super long is so fun and has a good story it is short sweet and simple and I can't really see people not having at least a little bit of fun while playing this so I really do recommended picking it up especially for how cheap it is.

I thoroughly enjoyed playing Call of Juarez: Gunslinger. The story is straightforward and enjoyable, weaving a narrative that keeps you engaged without overcomplicating things. The game's structure is simple yet not trivial, offering a gameplay experience that's accessible but still rewarding.

While it's not a masterpiece, Gunslinger is a game that you can play with pleasure. The Western setting is evocatively recreated, with an atmosphere that feels authentic despite the limited technical resources at the developers' disposal. The art direction and environmental design do a commendable job of transporting you to the Wild West, making up for what the game lacks in graphical fidelity.

The mechanics, particularly the gunplay and the unique ability to slow down time for precision shots, add a layer of depth to what could have been a basic shooter. The storytelling, delivered through the unreliable narration of the protagonist, adds a charming twist to the traditional linear narrative, enhancing the replay value as you uncover different layers of the truth.

Overall, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a solid entry in the genre that doesn't pretend to be more than it is but delivers fun and satisfaction in spades. I give it a 7/10.

This game is really nostalgic for me. Late night playing this on the 360 and getting bits and pieces of the story due to my poor understanding of english at the time... Reliving it just made me feel really good. This is a masterpiece that only the great nation of Poland could conceive.

I love the fact that you're blasting lead before the title screen's even cold. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a rootin'-tootin' shooter with tight, satisfying gunplay. If modern games took notes, we’d be drowning in six-shooters instead of cutscenes!

I love how Techland makes BANGER after BANGER with "Dying light", "Dead Island", "Chrome", And "Call of Juarez". I love to suckle the teet of techland.

Call of Juarez has really great story telling and voice acting, and decent duck and cover gameplay. Mostly is it really cool game, but there are enough quirky mechanics that could hamper your experience. The style has elements of genius that is worth playing if you can pick this up for a few dollars as it can be completed once in 10-15 hours.

Your character narrates his role in the wild west and explains his tall tale version of what "really" happened during key events of US old West history. It has a great comic book like style to introduce classic outlaws in an epic fashion, and the world is bright and beautiful with romanticized farmhouses, mine shafts, moving trains, and mountains. The levels are mini areas that allow you to run within a defined arena as you hide behind structures and gun sling your way past groups of outlaws as the narrated story offers entertaining, color commentary to all the events.

The game felt more like a shooting gallery style on rails rather than stealth strategy. I mostly liked the ducking for cover and the shooting since your character can take some bullets yet quickly recover if you stay out of the next wave of attacks. You can pick up just a few basic pistols, rifles and shotguns to keep it interesting, and also upgrade a few power ups that allow you to carry more bullets, or to throw back incoming dynamite. The gameplay also has an interesting dueling mode for some of the bosses where you need to increase focus meters, and out draw the enemy. The historical nuggets that you can find on each level add a side study of the many outlaws who become the stories of the 1800's United States. It is a great combination of tall tale and non-fiction.

As the game went on, the difficulty suddenly would ramp up and the quirks of the game became more apparent. The enemies blend into the background making them super hard to see, yet they would easily spot you behind any barrier. The voices of the enemies seem to come from all around and sound like they are right next to you, even when they are 50 yards away. The Q "Concentration" button helps to slow down the action and to outline your enemies but for me it would burn out so fast before I could do much. I was disappointed in the perk system as I used my points on the Silver Shotgun, Ranger Gun, and the Ornate Sawed off since they seemed like the best weapons, although as the game progressed it seemed like the regular Rifle was important to reach far enemies, and the standard Quick shooter was better for rushing enemies. The game has a few quick events that popped up at very random times and most likely will surprise you and kill you. When you die, sometimes the game has a tendency to place you immediately in mortal danger only to die again on the same group of enemies. I kept dying over and over chasing a dynamite fuse that blew up in 5 sec, and I could not even see what direction I was even supposed to go. Some of the bosses had glitches or quirks and I do not understand how I passed them besides getting a little lucky.
For the boss Henry Plummer, I could not figure out why enemies were hitting me when I should have been safe behind a barrier. Yet somehow after many, many tries, I lucked out and he suddenly died, and I can only guess that I blew up the dynamite in his hand. For the boss Curly Bill, he got stuck while running in place in the lumber yard so I just kept shooting him until he died. For the boss, John Wesley Hardin, I could not figure out what the game needed me to do in the dueling event as I would draw, dodge, but the aim target would wander off. Eventually after many tries, somehow the target worked but I did not feel satisfaction that I did anything differently.

There is a lot to be loved about the style of this game, which is why I recommend playing it despite the quirks. There is more gameplay with NewGame+ and Dueling Mode and it may spark your curiosity to learn a bit some of the outlaws during a crazy era of US history.

Another fun, engaging addition to this series. The gun play is top notch, and you are always on the move. The story is decent with a traditional revenge/redemption arch being used. All and all, it is a great game that is worth buying!

This game is friggin sweet. Satisfying gunplay and cool story.

10/10
(although it is a little inconvenient to change the FOV; you have to add a line of text to the video settings file. Not a big deal.)

Well partner, I beat the game.
Call of Jaurez Gunslinger is incredibly charming. With graphics and sound design that perfectly capture the feel of the wild west, or at least the fantasy of the wild west, it smells like cow pie and it's so fun, I feel beer drunk playing it. The story progresses entirely with narration, which, love it or hate it, is executed quite seamlessly, hilariously, and with stellar voice acting to boot. The gameplay loop consists of CoD style run through missions followed by mini boss fights and the standoff duel minigame. All in all, it scratches the itch and leaves you walking with saddle crotch and saying things like "Doggone it!" & "Dagnabbit!".
It's not at all without flaws, there were a handful of times when the hitboxes were just not lining up and it got me killed but the frequent checkpoints make it not such a big deal. Other than that, I wish it was longer, but that's a good problem to have when there are many replayability factors like higher unlockable difficulties and a more straight forward shoot 'em up in the arcade mode. There is also a 'Nuggets of Truth' system in which you can find hidden items that have super interesting information about the old west tied in with the story, much like the lore system in Arkham Asylum.
All of the stunning visuals and beautifully constructed story are a side dish to the entree of amazing combat, the core of the game is very well done and I was so surprised to see that this game was made in 2013. The environments are unforgettable, the shooting is addicting, the story is rich, and the whole experience is cinematic.
For fans of first person shooters like Medal of Honor: Airborne and Enemy Front, this game captures a really cool take on a personal war in the American frontier between one bounty hunter and every stinking outlaw alive and dead. If you want a wild west movie that you can take part in, this right here is it. I'd rate this higher if only it was longer, but at least it has short and sweet going for it.
8/10 - the normal price at review is $15, worth it if you're hankerin' for a wild west shootout.

Art style/ direction: good
Story: Cliche but interesting presentation and direction and also impacts the gameplay for the better
Voice acting: pretty good
Gameplay (normal): fun with some difficulty bumps. It's always fun to shoot dual revolvers in slow motion and kill chickens for XP.
Music: pretty good with some standout tracks. one feels like it wouldnt feel out of place in Fury Road but often the music fades into the background when the shooting starts.
Content Value: decent length campaign plus extra modes and collectibles that feel like natural and fun additions to the game.

In summary, the game is very good and is priced reasonably. There are a lot of cool set pieces in the campaign and the game lets you do a good amount of dumb fun stuff that vary up the gameplay nicely. The story would be weakest part but the narration, presentation, and how the story is told add a good amount of spice to it. This may be the best western I've played but I've only played 3, including this one, maybe that take with a grain of salt. Highly recommended! Now techland make Gunslinger 2 already!

Update: I did a second playthrough on hard to try to max out the skills and get all the nuggets. Hard is still pretty fair but some of those duels I feel like you need to shoot before they draw their gun or you can't win. Speaking of the duels, I find them an interesting mechanic for bosses. Somewhat finnicky since there is a lot to keep track of but very fitting and mostly fun. I also did some arcade mode and it's good fun. Getting the higher skills for character requires a lot of grinding I'm not gonna do. And while I'm on the subject of arcade mode, how the hell do you get 3 stars in any of them? I couldn't get even close no matter how high my combo and score was. I'm not playing the duel mode because I tried it and it felt like it cranked the difficulty to too hard. Bye.

Not really a fan of the graphics style but the gameplay is fun at least and the story is alright

Amazing Story with lots of replayability if you're into that sort of thing.

CoD Campaign but it's a western. The game is a product of its time. Take it for what it is...but maybe not for $15.

The Good - Duel mechanics that were surprisingly detailed; Fun plot twist at the end; Graphics were, in hindsight, fairly good for its time; Slower ADS speed (at least at first), so it's not "just" a point-and-click adventure; Bullet dodging mechanic was pretty fun; There was one level (or part of a level) that forces you to aim very carefully around a powder-keg of explosives.

The Bad - Linear levels that force you to go a certain way, no real freedom to make the story your own; Not entirely clear that honorable vs dishonorable kills does anything for the plot; BLOODY SCREEN SO REAL; Repetitive level designs that just drag on near the end; Hides the hardest difficulty behind a first playthrough; Cringe leveling system in the game that seems to take away from the game; No looting mechanic; Excessive amounts of ammo laying around even on higher difficulty, so there's really no point in trying to be strategic in your weapon use.

The Ugly - Bullet sponge bosses; Turret segments; Quick time events; Slow-mo powers that also gives you predator vision; and a $15 asking price, to this day, for an experience that can easily be completed with 3-4 hours or less.

I'm sorry, but I can't recommend this game, no matter how much people rave on the story and writing.

One of the best games I played, and the Call of Juarez series is now in the top stories, the first two are peak lore and story, and this one is the storytelling, humor, voice acting, gameplay and more. I'll await for a new sequel.

fantastic game, styled kinda like borderlands. silas greaves is a great character and playing through the story in the form of memories is great. the "on-the-fly" changes to the map during missions based on the narrator's "recollections" is genius.

Do you wanna go against the entire population of Texas, or go on a journey of revenge?
Do you wanna snipe someone's dome of, or cut them half with 12 bore double barrel?
Do you like cell shaded stuff?
Do you wanna gain the knowledge of the entire history of the wild west while having a time of your life?
Play this game, play it again, keep it installed and come back to after months.

Second playthru: Old game cannot get past John Wesley Hardin anymore no matter how or which point you press dodge it never does nothing. Yes i read instructions Dodge Right, Left, Right, Left, Left. And not to hold A or D. Maybe my keyboard is problem. Funny since i can write A and D here.

Cannot do dishonoured kill either... sad, good game otherwise.

Cannot recommend.....

This is a very fun and compelling game. For its price I believe it's a must-have.

Good old western story. Enjoyed a lot of it. Lots of humor, great voice acting, simple but pleasant gameplay.

Great game! Very fun, fast-paced shooter, Wild West, great gameplay mechanics. It's a must-play for fans of the genre. The game also has high-quality narrative, brilliantly told through the main character's engaging storytelling.

This game is good it has the best shooting gets straight into the game and also lots of blood Love it!

Fun game. Love arcade mode.

O. Death,
Ooo, Death,
Won't you spare me over 'til I can shoot a chicken before a duel ends~

10/10 this might be red dead redemption 0.5

t;dr - An arcadey shooter with non-stop run 'n gun action in a timeless setting. The kill comboing has a nice flow once it gets going, and the points system gives a nostalgic rail-shooter vibe to relax and really enjoy the forgotten charm of the era. Controls are responsive (except when jumping), the guns are satisfying to use, and the unreliable narrator was a fun gimmick. Short and sweet, with a fun story to follow - perfect to break up the modern releases.

A good game that is boosted by its story telling. The plot of the game is told in one of the most enjoyable ways I've seen in a game, and is worth experiencing the game for it alone. High recommendation regardless of sale, if you are okay with shorter games.

If you just want 10 hours of fun working through the story a couple times it's pretty great. If you want to 100 percent it, good luck. It get's a bit repetitive and then almost impossible at the end.

This is one of the most fun games I've playde in a while. I love everything about this game - the story, the gameplay, the voice acting, the graphics. My only complaint would be that the enemies very easily blend into the background, making it difficult to see them. Overall I think this game is incredible, I've already played through it twice and now I'm doing it a third time. All of the gamemodes are super fun and I can't tear myself away from this game. I highly recommend it.

A fast-paced Western shooter that is enhanced by its unreliable narrator

10 minutes in and the gameplay has completely hooked me. The leveling system was an added bonus along with newgame+. The graphics remind me of the "Borderlands" series. I liked that there weren't any bullet sponge enemies either.

Fun single player game. Really feels like you're on Old West gunslinger mixed with a real arcade feel like old Sunset Riders

awesome wild west game with a gripping story told no other than by the outlaw, Silas Grieves himself.

Excellent shooter with an unreliable narrator, that makes for unique and great story-telling.

One of the best games that've ever played the gameplay is excellent and story is great and the ending is perfect

it was a good game i guess, not as good as the first 2 but decent. completed the COJ game series. i am a certified cowboy bitch

Really good western FPS love the gun play very good for its price *
Good Story *

Played through whole game at all difficulties with a pirated copy. Bought a legit copy and did it all again. If the Red Dead Redemption series did not exist, this would be the best Cowboy game.
