tl;dr underrated, straight-forward, simplistic, fun, and arcadey Wild West FPS - fans of "Dead Man's Hand (2004)" will get some nostalgic feelings Overview Call of Juarez: Gunslinger follows Silas Greaves, a former bounty hunter, as he recounts his past exploits in the American Wild West. The player experiences these stories as playable flashbacks, moving through various locations and encounters while Silas narrates his version of events. The game presents itself as a linear first-person shooter with arcade-style mechanics. The Good Stuff The narration is the star of the show. Silas Greaves is not just telling his story he is performing it. His commentary is often hilarious, exaggerated, and self-serving, and the game actively plays with this by changing environments, enemies, and even level layouts mid-play when he “corrects” himself. It’s a clever narrative device that stays entertaining throughout. Silas is an underrated protagonist. He’s flawed, boastful, unreliable, and oddly charming. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3644132905 Gameplay-wise, Gunslinger is refreshingly simple. It is a straight-forward Wild West FPS that doesn’t pretend to be more than it is. You shoot, you move, you slow down time, you shoot some more. The arcadey nature works in its favor, making it easy to pick up and fun to replay. The art design deserves a mention as well. The comic-book-inspired visuals give the game a distinct identity and help it age surprisingly well. Combined with the exaggerated storytelling, it fits the tone perfectly. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3642575912 The Sorta-Kinda-Grinds-My-Gears-Stuff Boss fights are not the game's strong suit. They tend to feel less creative than the rest of the experience and often boil down to fairly conventional patterns that don’t take full advantage of the game’s strengths. The Atrociously-Bad Stuff Duels. Not in principle - duels belong in a Western - but the execution here is wonky and massively overused. What starts as a novelty quickly turns into a lousy chore and by the time the game throws yet another duel at you, any remaining excitement is long gone. It’s simply too much, well beyond the realm of fun. Achievement-Hunter-Things Nothing terrible overall. A highest-difficulty run ("True West") is required; it’s not easy, but it’s fair thanks to generous checkpoints and a structure that encourages trial and error. Also there are some collectibles which are guided. The biggest hurdle is probably the arcade mode, which demands speed, precision, and route optimization. You either learn it properly or save yourself some time and grab a community save file. Conclusion Call of Juarez: Gunslinger doesn’t try to reinvent the FPS genre, and that’s exactly why it works. It’s confident in its simplicity, carried by excellent narration, a strong sense of style, and an unexpectedly memorable protagonist. Duels and Boss fights aside, the overall ride is fast, fun, and consistently entertaining. If you’re even remotely into Westerns or arcadey shooters, give it a try. This one deserves far more love than it gets. Also the game is pretty snackable, which can be a welcome switch from game time stacking experiences.

This game is a hidden gem. I bought it without knowing anything about it, and it ended up being one of the best games I’ve ever played. The unique comic-style graphics mixed with a cowboy vibe are amazing. The gameplay gives you a constant dopamine rush, especially when you kill enemies back to back, and the XP points popping up in the middle of the screen just add to that feeling. What I really liked about the story is how they included real stories of actual criminals from history. I won’t mention names because I don’t want to spoil anything, but the story is good. I know it’s not Shakespeare, but I genuinely enjoyed it. The way the map changes based on the narrator’s words is very creative, and the final surprise was great. Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is truly a hidden gem Also there’s a lady with big boobs 10/10

Boy, what a game! Been through plenty of Western games already, and somehow this one was just sitting in my library collecting dust. Finally gave it a go — and man, once it starts rolling, it really gets fun. The shooting’s crisp, the pacing hits just right, and that plot twist absolutely nailed it. Didn’t expect much at first, but this one’s got style, attitude, and that classic Western swagger that’s hard to beat. Easily one of the best Westerns out there — glad I got to experience it for the first time. One hell of a ride.

I've been seeing this game pop up frequently in the achievement hunting group so I decided to give it a shot. I was able to pick it up on sale for less than $2...I would've been more than happy paying the full list price for this game. What a hidden gem. The game play is fantastic and would describe it as a Wild West Max Payne. You get to play as Silas Greaves a legendary bounty hunter, as he tells his life story of accomplishments/duels to a handful of people in a saloon(it reminded me of a campfire story), you get to sling bullets through the game’s beautiful landscapes while using the gun play/style of your choice(dual-wielding some colts, your rifle or maybe even Bob Ollinger's mean ass shotgun(loud as thunder & can cut a man clean in half)). I also always looked forward to the end-level duel with one of the Wild Wild West legends. Call of Juarez reminded me of a Supergiants Games title. The art direction and story telling of this game is what truly makes it a masterpiece. I loved how the landscape/enemies changes (if recollection is hazy) and just the style of artwork really is top notch. The collectibles are nice touch in my opinion, not too hard to find and just add some cool extra information about the Wild West legends or the battles etc. The story was fantastic and True West difficulty was a nice challenge. Speaking of challenges, the game also offers a Arcade mode and a Duel challenge, both adding a nice extra touch to the game. Who doesn't like a challenge that you can compare scores with your friends. Don't get frustrated with the duels challenge, it takes some time getting use to. I thought M+K was better than on the deck. Also, turning down dueling mouse sensitivity might help. My only complaint: Steam deck related, the cut scenes between each chapter in the story's sound was awful, it wasn't clear and had a broken static sound. I replayed the True West difficulty on my computer. Overall I'd give this game a 9/10. It's a must play for any FPS genre lover. "God made men, but Samuel Colt made them equal."

This is now easily my favorite game and I genuinely wish it was able to drain several hundred hours of my life before I 100%ed it rather than less than 24.
