Is the game of my childhood. I didn’t spend many hours playing it on Steam - 16 years ago I only owned it on a physical disc - but the feeling it gave me is impossible to describe. The community was massive. Servers were so full that sometimes it was genuinely hard to get in. Despite its relatively low budget, the multiplayer had a special kind of magic that pulled people together and kept them playing. I love this game with all my heart, and I love Techland for the soul, atmosphere, and passion they poured into it.

Call of Juarez is a weird fucking game. It encapsulates the overall feel and cheesiness of old spaghetti westerns and plays like Half-Life and Red Dead's gross, inbred jank baby.

Aug. 2025

The controls are rough, the gameplay clumsy, the technology outdated, and the visuals old-fashioned. It lacks polish. Yet none of that truly matters. What matters most is its personality. The direction, charged with adrenaline and brushed with a trace of poetic charm, turns the experience into something deeply immersive.

It's like someone watched a spaghetti Western, drank six espressos, and said, ‘Let’s make this into a game with parkour and Bible quotes.’ art at its finest.

April 2025

Call of Juarez is a Western-themed first-person shooter that attempts to capture the grit, drama, and dusty thrill of classic frontier tales. Set in the American West, it follows two very different protagonists: Billy, a young outcast wrongly accused of murder, and Reverend Ray, a gunslinging preacher who sees himself as judge, jury, and executioner. The narrative switches between their perspectives, providing a contrast between stealth-based traversal and all-out shootouts. It’s a compelling idea, and at times, it works remarkably well. Visually, the game captures the Western aesthetic nicely—sun-bleached towns, rocky canyons, and golden plains are all here, rendered with a respectable level of detail for the time. The soundtrack also deserves credit for its atmospheric guitar riffs and harmonica cues that add to the tension and tone. The voice acting is solid for the most part, with Ray’s grizzled delivery standing out as a highlight. Gameplay-wise, there’s an interesting mix of styles depending on who you’re playing as. Ray’s levels often involve storming into towns, fanning revolvers and using biblical quotes as a kind of dark comedic flair. Billy’s missions are quieter, slower, and sometimes involve platforming, stealth, or puzzle-like exploration—though these sections tend to be more hit-or-miss in quality and pacing. The biggest issue—and the one that significantly brought down my enjoyment—is the save system. Call of Juarez relies on a combination of sparse checkpoints and an inconsistent auto-save mechanic that often fails to trigger at logical points. There were many moments where I’d progress through a difficult section, only to die and be thrown back much further than expected, forcing me to replay chunks of the level over and over. It got to the point where I felt compelled to quick-save constantly after every minor victory, just to avoid losing progress. This isn’t tension—it’s tedium. And for a game with trial-and-error stealth sections or combat set pieces that can quickly turn chaotic, poor saving structure becomes a real source of frustration. Combat can also feel a bit clunky. Gunplay lacks the weight and responsiveness seen in more polished shooters, and hit detection occasionally feels off. Some enemy AI patterns are questionable, with foes either being eagle-eyed snipers from across the map or clueless mannequins you can walk right past. The level design is decent but unremarkable, and Billy’s platforming segments are particularly awkward due to floaty movement and inconsistent ledge-grabbing. That being said, Call of Juarez has moments of genuine charm. When everything aligns—when Ray storms a saloon or Billy narrowly escapes a posse—the game nails the Western vibe. The dual-protagonist approach was ambitious for its time, and the story does a good job of weaving their fates together into a tense, character-driven plot. Verdict: 6.5/10 Call of Juarez is a game with vision, but one that’s held back by frustrating design decisions, especially the poor checkpoint system. For players with patience and a love for the Western genre, there's something here worth experiencing—but expect to manually save often and push through a few rough edges. It’s a flawed but occasionally entertaining ride through the Old West.
