Easily and all-time favourite of mine.

Replayed it a few times already. It's quite short especially once you get the hang of how the weapons and the Duels are meant to work, however don't mistake it being short equal to being bad. This is a masterclass in how to connect the narrative dialogues to the levels you are in.

The voice actors are excellent, they all take small but important parts to the story, even sections where the main man leaves for a bit you can still hear the other actors as if you're sitting at the desk. The story has every part you need and thanks to that so do the levels. The rush from the rapid sequences to the snappy feeling of every weapon and the small yet meaningful skill system adds to this even more.

Highly recommend to anyone fond of fast paced gameplay.

90% of my love for this game comes from it letting me dual wield revolvers. It also has a solid protagonist and a unique presentation.

Played this for the first time in literally 10+ years, and for some reason during the bits where the game would go sepia tone and freeze, the voices were deepened like I was tripping on 500 milligrams of Xanax.

This is video gaming.

Solid FPS story game. Lacks some weapon variety, but then again it's the wild west, IDK what I was expecting other than shotguns, revolvers, and rifles, really.

One of my favourite single player shooters after The Darkness 2. love the graphics and the epic cowboy

The gameplay was fun but the audio issue during the movies is terrible.

Looked and tried various suggestions to fix it, but nothing worked.

Requested refund.

Pretty incredible, which was a bit surprising. I had pretty low expectations after the embarrassing disaster that was CoJ The Cartel, but I really liked the artstyle they were going for and gave it a chance. I do not regret it. Gunplay feels really great, the artstyle was indeed consistently great. But what impressed me the most was actually the narrative. It is such an incredibly unique and cool way to tell a story. There is a narrator, but he constantly changes the story which actually changes in real time what you play through. Super cool stuff and something that is probably only possible through a videogame, or at least only this effective through one. Also helps that the story is really good. You cannot go wrong with this game, and I wish Techland would try something like this again.

Game is ok, story wise its very lazy. Instead of an actual plot line it just makes you do the same mission over and over differently because the story was told "different". Prefer Call of Juarez's before over this and this came out almost a decade after the older games. After 2 missions in it seemed too repetitive , lost interest quick. Skill system is a plus though, thats about the only thing this game has over the originals

This game is deifinitely one of my top 10

If you like western in general, this is a great game for you. You're playing as a bounty hunter, who tells a story about him going out to collect bounties on the most famous gunslingers of the wild west. The story basically tells about their possible fates, while still being true to the known facts.
I also like the way the story is told - The protagonist is telling the story as you play, so the world sometimes changes as he's telling the story.

The gameplay is very simple, you take out your guns, and shoot. There is some level progression, which upgrades your abilities, so that's good.

Graphics are pretty good for 2013, not much of a deal. Audio is another part that makes this game a masterpiece - the sound effects are alright, but the voice acting is 5/5

That duel mechanic is junky and tutorial can't be under stand at all

I really enjoy this game! It's so much fun and challenges me in a great way. I love its style—it's classic and charming. It has a perfect mix of intensity, humor, and excitement that keeps me hooked

It's a good time. This game knows what it wants to be and it is consistent in that through the whole game. I really enjoyed the story, I enjoyed how short and snappy the missions are - which gives it a faster paced feeling - and I enjoyed the dialogue/way of presenting the story. It's a great arcade style shooter. If you're ever feeling like you want something quick and entertaining to blast through and you want it to be FPS, do a quick run of this. Definitely recommended.

Really, really fun shooter. Worthy buy on sale.

It's kinda short (10 hours on hard).

The gameplay has it's unique elements - the headshots are rewarded with slow-motion, there are cool sections of mexican stand-offs that are quite memorable. Shooting itself is really fun, from sounds to hit registration. It's gory, it requires skill and it's rewarding.

Story is nothing too outstanding, although I fouind myself enjoying the characters quite a bit.

8/10

A very good shooter! The story is good, it's fun that things change as the story teller remembers things (think like Tiny Tina's Wonderland). If you are looking for a solid Western game with a strong narrative, you might be disappointed. But if you're looking for a very solid first-person shooter with some neat and straightforward shooting, then I think you'll enjoy it! Also, it looks great for being 11-years old.

Super fun and straightforward western themed FPS. The presentation is the game's strongest asset. The game uses a cel shaded graphical style that helps to complement the arcade-y action, and the protagonist's unreliable narration gives the game a unique flavor.

My only complaint is that the 1v1 duels can sometimes be a little trial and error-ish, but that's probably just a skill issue on my part.

It just a fun little breezy little game. I like the arcadey ness of the shooting but I'm not really compelled to keep getting a better score. For me the enemies don't stick out well enough from the environment for me to be able to easily recognize them. And your character is a tad too fragile. It's not as breezy enough to be as fun as it should be. But i'd totally recommend it. Especially since you've probably picked this up somewhere over the years.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a straightforward but very well executed on-rails shooter that doesn’t waste a second of its runtime. I always have an appreciation for games that know precisely what they are and don’t waste any time getting to it. Call of Juarez launches right into the good stuff, telling the story of acclaimed bounty hunter Silas Greaves as he encounters and tussles with legends of the Wild West.

The visuals are a mix of realistic with stylized elements, some cell-shading here and there, but for the most part, its’ stylization comes from how it uses the unreliable narrator to play with your expectations. Doors will open, bridges will form, and enemies will be placed precisely to create the perfect action set piece, both for the satisfaction of the player and to fit Silas’ over exaggerated nature. The audio department is similarly polished, featuring an excellent voice cast, notably Silas himself, whose actor perfectly conveys that braggadocious nature, embellishing his stories to pure fantasy. The music is great too, littered with plucky guitars, banjos, and out of tune pianos, the constant gunfire feels like an instrument of its own.

As the story progressed, the events became more and more insane, defying reality, as Silas weaves in more and more legendary outlaws like Billy the Kid, Butch Cassidy, and the Sundance Kid, his audience becomes more and more untrusting of Silas’ words. He begins only slipping up occasionally, explaining away histories’ “inconsistencies”, but as time goes on, he stretches further and further, and he starts becoming more unstable. I love this kind of protagonist, where you’re not sure whether he’s telling the truth from the very beginning.

The gunplay is fun, if very simple, with lots of great point modifiers for headshots, longshots, catching people while they’re running. You’re encouraged to chain kills together, use dynamite, switch up your weapons, while there aren’t a LOT of elements, it keeps it easy to understand and makes it fun for the player. I will note that I found the duels to be clunkier than expected, maybe I just misunderstood them but I found it oddly tedious to line up and actually win the duel, even dishonorably. Aside from the duels though, the gameplay is smooth sailing.

Overall, Call of Juarez is a standout Western game that wastes none of your time. Its’ unreliable narrator makes for a unique story that makes a great use of its’ characters with banter back and forth. If you wanted to play Red Dead Redemption 2 but your computer is terrible and also you’re a father of 4 with no free time, Call of Juarez is a great alternative. But actually, it’s a fantastic game on its own.

I've never been a big fan of the Western genre but, boy, this game is something. If you love cool stories about bad-ass men - you must play it!

+ Gameplay. It's a very intense first person shooter - the rest doesn't matter. Also, I think that you can't complain about gameplay being repetitive when an entire game takes around 5-7 hours to complete.
+ Storytelling. There's nothing special about the story itself but the way it's being told is so good.
+ Sound and music are a treat to the senses. Hats off to Pawel Blasczak for such a testosterone boosting soundtrack.
+ Graphics, performance, colour correction, level of detail - it must be some kind of Polish magic because not only does the game look fantastic but also both my graphics card and CPU are stone cold while running it at 4K@120. Nowadays, games look just slightly better but they make your hardware burn because they are so demanding for no reason. Unless you're looking at them through a magnifying glass, that graphics boost just isn't noticeable.

P.S. I find it absolutely astonishing that one of the best games about America I've ever played were made by Polish and Finnish game developers.

I love this game. I feel like this game doesn't get any love, but I've played it a few times, and it's a blast! I turn off the points so that it's more like a traditional game than an arcade game. I find it's easier to take it seriously without having scores constantly popping up. The story is fantastic. The combat is challenging at times. I've always said, to myself since nobody ever talks about this game, that this and Red Dead 2, are the best western themed shooter games. It's just a lot of fun, all the Call of Juarez games are. The game runs fantastic too, especially on Steam Deck. If you have an OLED Deck, it can run the game maxed out at 90 FPS, no problem, performance to spare and decent battery life. Especially if you limit it to 60 FPS.

CALL OF JUAREZ GUNSLINGER

ALL GUNSLINGER, NO JUAREZ, SOME CALL

This is Call of Juarez Gunslinger. I haven't spotted and storyline connections, or character connections, so I'm assuming it was a different game shoe horned into the Call of Juarez series just to make it sell.
This game is fantastic! The way the story is told, the actors, the referenced characters in the American Wild West, and the visual and audio styling is all fantastic! In this game you play as Silas Greaves, in search for the last gunman involved in the death of his brethren. He gets his revenge on everyone except for the last man, which you get to choose what happens. The way the story is told is a mix of total bullshit and absolute hilarious recounting from the memory of an old drunk, and the game shifts around in the levels as the story is told. That's pretty wild, but what's even more wild is how the gunplay changed, and is more like Bulletstorm now. Its a great change, because combo shooting and skill shots award you extra experience to put points in the 3 skill trees, as well as having you feel like a righteous gun slinging badass!

+Pros

+The story telling is great, and they definitely picked the correct voice acting cast for that.
+The audio design is great, you can easily tell where the next enemy is, what kind of foliage you are trudging through, and every level of the game has a different audio backdrop that is also dynamic. I was not expecting this at all, compared to the previous entries.
+The visual design is more Borderlands meets Red Dead Redemption, and is fun and fast during gunplay. Everything has this comical black border, and wildly contrasting colors that makes everything POP!
+There are collectibles that tell some bits of random American Wild West history

-Cons

-The difficulty is quite unbalanced towards the end of the game. The way the story is structured will have you a little burnt out towards the end, so you should stick with finishing the game in the same weekend.
-Duels mode is not that fun. The duels are the worst part of the game, so I don't understand why it needed its own mode. The previous entries had bad duel modes too.
-The arcade mode isn't long enough. Individual levels are great, I just wish there were more levels to play.

8/10 because I'M A COWPOKE

Second game is still the goat. Also Duel mod is trash and thats all u need to know

I've first played it on 360 at release, every moment of this playthrough was a blast that threw me back to the good old days of gaming. other than that a masterpiece of a game.

A fun, very well done game! The story, gameplay and voice acting were all very good. Three things frustrated me, though. One was, that sometimes it was difficult to find who was shooting at me because the color scheme made them blend in with the background. (Maybe it's just my vision.) The second was, when late in the game, fighting "ghosts" that were clear white on a foggy background and again, seeing them was very difficult. The third was one of the showdowns, a Mexican standoff, where you have to switch between two enemies and then take them both out, was very frustrating for me. It took me a few attempts before I even fully understood what to do and which of the enemies shoots first was random.

All-in-all, though, a fantastic game that is worth playing, especially if you like the wild west!

THE GOOD THE BAD & THE DEAD

A unique and unrepeatable game in the action/western style and also a great success for Call of Juarez series.

This game has a theme related to revenge and bloodlust just like other western stories.
The game starts in a saloon with a person named Silas Greaves. A bounty hunter who seeks revenge on his brothers' killers.

The story of the game is told by this character which are the tales about his adventures.
The narration of the story is wonderful. Silas' bluffs and the listeners' accompaniment and intervention sometimes change the storyline and the environment of the game, and this creates a comedic and extremely heartwarming atmosphere for the players.

The duels in the game are extremely exciting, and the people you duel with in this story are even more exciting!
The graphics and game environment are extremely beautiful and artistic. Each chapter of the game is like a beautiful painting.
The gameplay is also interesting and fun enough to prevent the game from getting boring.

I think this game is worth your time and I highly recommend it.

Step into the shoes of Grieves a legendary gunslinger and bounty hunter as you embark on a journey across the wild west. Set on avenging his family you aim to collect the bounties on some of the most famous outlaws in american history. One thing this game does perfectly is truly making you feel like a gun slinging bad ass. Dodging bullets, Using concentration to slow down time, and much more the game really sets enemies up so you can knock them down. The story although not very interesting and generic gets the job done for what it is. Another strong point that the game has for itself is its use of real outlaws we all have come to know. That being billy the kid, jesse james, and many more all of which are considered main bosses in the game. The game contains a full set of skills for you to unlock through the game as well along side your character aging with time. Really showing that as he gets older he only becomes more deadly with his firearms. The game also contains a narrator the man you play as narrating on his own past as we play through it. At times the game seemed to be set up against the player in favor of the enemy making some sections far more difficult then others, but this only makes the challenge of the levels far more interesting. There are very little if any issues game play wise and a overall very smooth play through. This game does gunslinger fights justice and at times really makes you feel like a wild west legend. There are also additional game modes that players can grind out and end game plus mode. 7/10

Honestly a quintessential 7/10 game FPS title with lots of nods towards famous gunslingers of the wild west, as well as references to classic western movies such as The Assassination of Jesse James by the coward Robert Ford/Wild Bunch and Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It doesn’t exactly break the mould when it comes to FPS games but it’s fun, humorous and well worth the price.

GREAT GAME the dueling mechanic is the most dumbest shit ive ever seen fuck the devs for making something so fucking jank awesome lmao thanks for that fucking ass holes peaces of shit i have no idea what the dev team was going thro but god dam they were on some folk medicine shit for sure. if you can power through that its totally worth the 2$ but fuck that stupid mechanic

The game on surface looks cool with the art style and everythin but that's it, the story is not interesting, the enemies are extremely hard to see and the biggest problem is that if you're low on health you're gonna get so much HUD and health indicators that further block your screen. Buy it if you want but just wait for a sale, it's not worth it.

In Call of Juarez: Gunslinger, you are Silas Greaves, an accomplished bounty hunter whose lifelong crusade to settle an old vendetta has brought him into an unlikely tavern in Abilene, Kansas. Silas takes on the role of an unreliable narrator in the retelling of his life story to the astute tavern patrons, while you play out the vivid, sometimes exaggerated memories of his youth.

Along the way, you will meet and often square off with many legends of the Old West - including, but not limited to, Billy the Kid, John Wesley Hardin, The Dalton Brothers, Jesse James, and even Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid. As the story unfolds, you will play through Silas' memories, ranging from serious business, to hilarious antics, to downright wacky situations, often to the awe, astonishment, and disbelief of Silas' would-be audience.

Where CoJ: Gunslinger shines is in its charm. You get to experience what it feels like to be a legendary bounty hunter in a spaghetti western, and gun down black hats in droves. Although Silas is not without his tall tales, the collectible "Nuggets of Truth" that can be found in each level provide historical context and reveal the truth about real-life people back in the day. Moreover, in the middle of telling a story, Silas will often correct himself or other people, changing the stakes and the outcome of the game in real time. In some instances, this includes terrain features and objects appearing out of thin air, or even part of the story rewinding itself to an earlier point in time once the first ending is revealed to never have occurred. This narrative approach makes the story fun and lively, and is quite a refreshing experience.

Perhaps the most fun to be had is with dueling your opponents in a classic standoff. Focus on your opponent, watching his every move, while you inch your hand ever closer to the grip of your holstered pistol. Once he makes a move, you draw - and with the right skill and a little bit of luck, you'll be the one hitting your mark first. Not to mention if you're focused in enough, you can even lean out of the way to dodge bullets in slow motion once you draw your pistol! Just remember to let your opponent draw first; your honor is on the line, and you don't want history to remember you as a coward.

10/10 - Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is THE quintessential Wild West first-person shooter.

Fun arcade shooter with great voice acting and an entertaining story. Relatively short, 5-6 hours to complete
