Pro:
- Gelungene Wild-West Atmosphäre mit spannender Geschichte
- Silas übertreibt gerne und setzt uns so ein nicht machbares Level vor -> Schaffen wir es nicht, korrigiert er sich und gibt zu, dass es vielleicht doch nur 10 und nicht 100 Gegner waren -> Wir können das Level dann erneut mit nur 10 anstatt 100 Gegnern spielen
- Die Erzählungen und Kommentare während des Spielens verändern die Gegebenheiten
- Humor
- Skilltree
- Abwechslungsreiche Orte und Level (Mal ein Duell, Flucht oder klassische Schiesspassage)
Con:
- Keine Nebenmissionen und wenig optionale Dinge
- KI
Nach gut 4 Stunden fliesst aber auch schon der Abspann über den Bildschirm. Aber es hat sich gelohnt. Gunslinger ist ein kurz unterhaltendes, witziges und spannendes Spiel. Probiert es aus! =)

Als ich zum zweiten mal Red Dead Redemption 2 durchgesuchtet habe wollte ich mehr Cowboy Games und habe mich auf die Suche gemacht aber vergebens es gibt sehr wenige Cowboy Games was sehr traurig ist weil ich dieses Setting sehr gern habe.
Call of Juarez geht um einen Mann der in einer Bar seine Geschichten über sein Kopfgeldjäger Zeiten erzählt und wir steigen in seine Geschichten ein und erleben selbst seine Abenteuer die sehr wunderschön sind.
Die Graphik sieht so aus als wäre man in einem alten Wester Film was fantastisch ist, Am Ende jeder Geschichte befindet sich ein End Boss und jeder End Boss ist sehr kreativ dargestellt.
Das Einzige Problem dass ich habe ist...
Es ist viel zu kurz man kann die Geschichte in 8 Stunden durch rushen

I got this game back in 2017, because of its popularity and positive reviews.
But quite frankly I was quite reluctant of playing it, as it seemed really far off from anything I like to play.
But after giving the game a real chance - it turned out to be a really great game. And if it had any sequels, I would gladly buy them.
As weird as it sounds, the game is a casual First Person Shooter.
There is no tight plot with strict progression as we’re used to getting from FPS games, but instead a series of loosely tied missions. Unrelated to one another.
Which you can easily jump-in/out of as you need.
There’s barely any plot you need to keep in mind - you can start the game, jump into the action for 10 minutes, then drop it for a couple of days and repeat.
In many games, if you don’t play for a while it may feel cumbersome coming back, as you don’t remember the plot, where you were, what you were doing last, etc.
In Call of Juarez this is not the case.
There’s not much drawing you to come back, but not much keeping you from it either.
It gives you the best of both worlds - both being good looking and fun to play, and casual enough to drop-in/out of whenever.
But that doesn’t mean the game has no progression or no continuity.
You earn experience by killing people, performing tasks or finding hidden objects.
Which you can convert into upgrades, like deadlier bullets or longer “bullet time”.
You also have 3 main skill trees: Dual wielding, Sharpshooter or Tough guy. Which you’re free to invest in one, or spread your points between several.
And there is a plot which tells you a bit about the protagonist in every mission.
And as a history buff, I really enjoyed the hidden objects you find, which give you additional info and background about the people and actions that happened in the old west.
If you like the wild west historical era, I think you will really like this!
An experience I personally enjoyed.
A solid 8/10.

I finally beat all the games in series (CoJ Cartel doesn't exist) and I reflect on how much I like all the games. My favorites are Bound in Blood and Gunslinger. They are both amazing games and some of the best western games of all time.
Gunslinger is very unique
This specific game in series is the most different and I mostly like it. It's shorter and more action packed. It has a fun, cartoon, comic art style. The gunplay is very meaty and satisfying. It's fun to rack up combos and killchain enemies. Too bad duels mostly suck. The way the story is told has always been different and mostly good in the Call of Jaurez games, but Gunslinger does something even more different and it's worth playing to see how it's told.
Overall
If you like western shooters, you should get all the games in the franchise! If I had to recommend one game in the series for someone to try, it'd definitely be Gunslinger. It's pretty short and keeps your attention the whole time. The Story took me about 5 hours and I spent an hour on Arcade for my first playthrough. Go play this classic!

[h1]Story[/h1]
At the beginning you will be at a bar where the main character (Silas Greaves) is telling the bar tender his adventures in exchange for free drinks. While Silas is telling the stories, those stories are the game sections in where you kind of re-live his adventures and encounters with recognized cowboys from the old Wild West. While going through the game you can listen to Silas narrate the story and the reaction from the people around in the bar, which makes for a immersion a bit good. Also, there are no cut scenes while this is happening either, is more like changing pictures and dialog. In any case, being a not well known game and probably from a tiny studio inside Ubisoft the game can feel a bit short, but worry not as it delivers, if you are really looking for old Wild West action. Also without saying anything else about the story, there are multiple endings to it and that's all I'm going to say.
[h1]Gameplay[/h1]
Controls are simple and pretty much the standards as any other first person shooter, so getting the hang of them is not difficult at all. Also, the gun play is pretty much well crafted, feels fluid and easy to master too. Another great thing about this game (and a huge plus for me) is that the game do NOT force the use of UPlay (Ubisoft's version of Steam) on you, so you do not have to deal with it, you press Play and you go into directly the game (no third party platforms nonsense like any other modern Ubisoft game). Music is well adapted to the environment and makes a good job putting the appropriate pieces in the different sections of the game by adding a little bit to the adrenaline you might experience while going throughout the action sections of the game. Another good thing to mention is how they implemented the duel or stand-off in this game, of course, it would take you quite some tries to master the mechanic, but I think it was good implemented as instead of staying in first person mode you go into some sort of like third person, but you have aim and move your character's hand close to the pistol and then make your move by reading the opponent's movements; there is even a dodge opportunity during these duels, but if you misread your opponent you get shot, but if you do it properly they get shot and you win. Something to really keep in mind while playing too is that the weapons you used are of course themed to the old Wild West, so there is not scopes, laser sights, large clips/magazines, fancy explosions or anything else, you get your good old six shooter, a basic shotgun and rifle for some distance shots.
[h1]Progression System[/h1]
While going through the game you game you gained experience points, which you can use to get some new skills. Said skills will help you in your journey throughout the game; the skill can affect your guns and even some passive abilities like getting more experience for example; there is a good variety of them to make the gun-play even better. Reloading a pistol or shotgun or even a rifle faster can be really useful in those parts where you are pretty much surrounded a bunch of enemies.
[h1]Side Content[/h1]
There are few things to do besides the story mode in the game though; those being getting the collectibles, the arcade mode and duel mode. Every section of the game will have 2 or 3 things you can collect, they are addressed as Nuggets of Truth and they have their little description and everything. Then there is the Arcade mode, which is pretty much, shoot and get a lot of points for shooting baddies, of course the sections in where you will shoot them are taken from the main story mode, but some of them are shorter or have more enemies in it, your objective is to make as much points as you can without being shot, if you are shot you lose the score multiplier you get for shooting enemies in a row; each of the levels have their point goals and your job is to be the greatest there is and make a better score; you can also compare your score with anyone who has the game and is on your Steam Friend list. And finally there is Duel Mode, which is pretty much going through every duel in Story mode back to back, you get five tries to complete all of them, and if you think it is not possible to complete this mode, you might want to re-think as it takes some practice to be able to master all of them, very fun mode if you ask me.
[h1]Multiplayer[/h1]
There is no multiplayer mode in this game, other than the leader-boards in both Arcade and Duel mode with anyone who owns the game and you have in your Steam Friends list.
[h1]Closing Thoughts[/h1]
If you really like first person shooters is probably a short, but sweet game to consider and like mentioned before the big plus being Ubisoft Game is you do NOT have to use UPlay to play it. All in all, is a good and entertaining game to try and when is on sale you can get it really, really cheap. So, what are you waiting for grab that hat and a pair of six shooters and get ready to be an old Wild West legend now.

Get this game, it's tons of fun.
It has solid gunplay that feels badass, combos, skills, arcade modes, duels and a beautiful world.
The story is pretty alright too. This game has replay value as well so that's a big plus if you are willing to put in the few extra hours it will reward you... Along with dozens of dead bad guys and a sick aim.

Played it in 2013. And was deeply impressed.
Played it again in 2020 − the same feelings.
The gunplay is just so satisfying with all those «concentration» and «sense of death» mechanics.
The story: it's awesome! Exciting, deep, diluted with humor. Remarkable voice acting.
Pretty short, to tell the truth. But leaves such an aftertaste...
The artwork, the sound, the atmosphere of the Wild West − everything is done perfectly.
Thank you, Techland!
You're doing great!

I had a lot of fun with this game and the story. The 1 on 1 duels are pretty dang hard. Expect to do a lot of replays of checkpoints. The voice cast was very good. The enemies outside of the boss endings were copy/paste. The weapons were great and worked well most of the time. Beware that this game requires QTE moments. Mostly in the duels with the gang leaders. Sometimes at ambush points. The music was also great.
I did encounter some bugs and glitches. While dodging out of the way of QTE debris sent your way I fell through the map multiple times. Overall this game has a great story. Better to play in small doses though. Can get annoying with all the QTE's and predictable ambush locations. The dialogue between characters can be clever. Sadly, the main game character gives away who he's really after by saying the characters name in such a way. It's the tone that will tip you off and how many times he says it. The ending was a good choice. Lack of video options somewhat hurts this game. Needs more FOV for sure. Level design can have issues and can easily get confused or lost on where to go. Overall fun and great story. The game play can repeat a lot and hurt the fun. Finding Nuggets of Truth can be a challenge. Reading the Nuggets of Truth is worth it though. No crashing issues at all. You can continue where you left off. Though you can't manually save. The game does have a checkpoint system. You also have the ability to restart the mission from the beginning. This game also has a New Game Plus feature. If you like that kind of thing. Also a wild west setting with no weapon crosshair.

Regarding the gameplay, this is an incredibly fun shooter.
Just be noted, the shooting is NOT meant to feel like a simulator it is more like an Arcade shooter, but it is damn fun.
I can't remember when I had so much fun in a game with mechanics focused mostly on shooting only.
The overall minimum platforming in the game is quite buggy at moments, but you will care least about it because of how much fun you will be having shooting the enemies.
Go for all achievements just for the reason to explore all the game modes and what this game has to offer.
Regarding the story, it had a well polished and really interesting plot which will most likely engage you to keep wanting for more - even if you are not in to the whole western type stuff. Not a single time I had the need to skip a cutscene as the story is told in a comic book stile about a bounty hunter Silas Greaves and about his adventures (it has an interesting twist to it and the ending for it was perfect - you have two options at the end, but if you want both achievements take one and the other one you will be able to pick playing new game +).
The game is well polished and if you did not have a chance to get in to this game (myself included as it was in my wishlist/library for almost 3-4 years or even more and I did not find a chance to try it up to this moment - which I regret).
This is one of the best shooters unambiguously just for the amount of fun I was having with it and I believe it should be the same for you.

I played it on normal and it was pretty easy. I'm for sure going to take a second pass for the harder modes, even though I don't really like difficult games. It's that fun.
It rewards you for accuracy, but not necessarily headshots. Most bad guys go down with a single shot (at least on the difficulty I was playing on) and there are a lot of them. You get extra experience with headshots, but the game wants you to get a high body count, which it rewards with an experience modifier. You can easily string a 30x multiplier, which you'll want to keep going higher. It's a lot of fun.
While I didn't like the story, I did like how the action was truncated by it. You know when your going in the right direction because the story will continue, stray off the path too much and the game will tell you that you're leaving the story. You know when action is over because either the story will continue or the protagonist will flourish their weapon. I liked that.
The only real gripe I have with playing the game is the weapon choice is very limited. There's basically only 3 weapons. By the end of the game you'll have you preferred load out and you'll only use it. There's really no reason not to. Quite honestly there isn't much to this game. It's like they made an arcade light gun shooter into an FPS, but they kept the fun parts of arcade shooters. It's a very fun game.
I was also put off by the historical fiction of it too. The developers are putting fiction alongside actual history and it was a little confusing for me. The level where you have to kill a lot of Native Americans was pretty unpleasant for me as well.
That's literally the only bad things I have to say about it.
The game ran solidly. The only glitches I ran into were either because of ladders (they're kinda weird) or I was trying to get out of bounds.
Great gameplay, dumb story, and fun. If you wanna be a cowboy and shoot a bunch of goons and not feel too bad about it, it'll scratch that itch.

It works so well that I'm amazed more games haven't gone down this voiceover narration route in the 7 years since it came out. Silas's chatter adds so much to what would otherwise be a decent but fairly shallow and repetitive FPS. It helps that the voice acting is really well done, and the writing is also well above average - I don't think it's a spoiler to say that you'll see the plot twist coming a mile off, but it's still paid off in a satisfying way.
The barroom stories gimmick also lets the game skip a lot of the padding usually found in a single player FPS, instead throwing you straight into the action from the first seconds of each level. It also solves another common problem with action games by explaining why you'll find yourself single-handedly slaughtering half the population of the Old West - who hasn't exaggerated their exploits after a few drinks?
If I could sum up the gameplay in two words, they'd be 'headshot practice'. Although it isn't on rails, the sheer relentless number of enemies and tight locations (taking in all the Old West staples - train robberies, ghost towns, saloon shootouts, etc etc) sometimes give it the claustrophobic feel of a lightgun shooting gallery game (think House of the Dead).
Seen quite a few reviewers saying they blazed through their first playthrough in 4 hours but it was more like 7 for me on the lowest difficulty - still quite short, but I felt I got more than enough bang for my buck having bought it in the sale. Personally I found the last couple of levels a bit of a slog and was dying constantly, but then I'm not a big FPS player and was mostly playing it for the story.
Finally a word about the game's other big gimmick, the shootout minigame. At first I found this utterly baffling as the controls are explained terribly in-game, but after reading a guide the penny dropped and I found it quite enjoyable. Some will hate it, but it only crops up at most once per level so it shouldn't be a dealbreaker when there's so much else to enjoy here.

After beating this fantastic game I am left with nothing but a smile. However inside I know there is a disappointment, not in the game itself but for my future. This truly was the best McCree simulator, not even listening to Big Iron by Marty Robbins and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly theme song for 24 hours straight gives me such satisfaction. The game itself is simple, cheap and incredibly enjoyable, combat always feels fresh and rewarding with interesting and useful skills that come quite often as well as different scenarios that come from the interesting story. But in the end, it all boils down to what the game does very well, making you feel like one bad-ass gunslinger and that's what we all came for. Hitting multiple slow-mo head-shots that give you points as they fall to the ground only for a new target to take its place is a great feeling, you feel invincible (until you die) especially with the bullet-dodging function in the duels and when you are on your last breath, even the quick time events are superb. The art style for the game is fresh and pairs well with the gritty, bloody battles as well as the character intros. Silas Greaves (aka McCree) is a likeable and awesome protagonist, quick as the devil and the precision to match it but in the game, you feel like the legendary Silas Greaves and what a feeling. The weapons are great and the revolvers are cool as hell. Now let's talk about the story itself, you gotta play on hard difficulty first off, you follow Silas Greaves recounting his revenge story at the bar, you are living and fighting in his tale or how he perceives it, as a big theme of the game is perspective and how people often exaggerate also how thing can be seen as right or wrong depending on the person, or how anger can blind your actions. Silas meets and goes up against real legendary cowboys, such as Butch Cassidy and Billy the Kid as well as nods to Wyatt Earp and Doc Holiday. They are all well re-incarnated and brought back to life by this game, staring down Johnny Ringo in a duel is fantastic, but sometimes the duelling can feel a bit finicky but once you get it down it's golden. You go from location to location with surprisingly stunning views that will soon be littered with corpse's as you feel Silas' anger-filled rage that allows him to push through and overcome death as this one-man army tells you how things went down. There's a lot more I have to say but I got to get back to playing it on True West difficulty now. 10/10 really makes you feel like McCree.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a Western-themed FPS. The player takes the role of bounty hunter Silas Greaves, who, as an old man, is recounting his life's story to a small group of patrons in a saloon in 1910. As you can imagine, these stories have him shooting a bunch of people and even dueling famous outlaws in pursuit of their bounties.
The gameplay is somewhat standard fare. You run around various levels on to your objective, shooting the bad men that appear in your path with a choice of period weapons, from dual-wielding revolvers to a lever-action rifle. Then, in true Call of Juarez fashion, you have the ability to slow down time (called Concentration, which charges up as you kill enemies) that also lights up your foes and lets you shoot them better. Adding to this is another one of Silas' abilities: when near death, you can quite literally dodge the bullet that would've killed you, allowing to run for cover and a Round Two.
To spice things up even further, Silas is an old man and he sometimes rambles or gets things wrong, acting as an unreliable narrator. The patrons even call him out on many occasions resulting in him having to readjust his story. This has an effect in the game right away, for instance uncovering a hidden path out of nowhere or talking about a native attack, then going back on it (resulting in said natives popping out of existence).
This is also where Gunslinger shows a more arcadey influence, as for every kill you rack up you gain points and start building up a combo, with more varied kills giving more points. These points translate into experience, which lets you unlock skills from three distinct skilltrees, from the inane 'reload faster' to the more spectacular 'split dynamite in the air' and the like. This culminates in the second gamemode available, Arcade, which places you in a linear level and challenges you to rack up as high a score as you can while maintaining your combo. You can even race your friends on the global leaderboard!
Every once in a while, Silas will recount a tale of his duel with some famous outlaw of the Old West, first introducing them by way of a comic-style vignette. These duels work differently to Bound in Blood, where you now need to use your mouse to focus your view on the outlaw while using your keyboard to adjust your hand over your holstered gun. Moreover, you can now draw first and win dishonourably, but history does not remember cowards well! And if this dueling sounds like your cup of tea, you're in luck, as there's an entire gamemode dedicated to Duels!
On the technical side, the game looks excellent and at times downright gorgeous, owing in part to its slight cel-shading and terrific choice of environments, from mountain passes to moving trains. The music is moody and very Western-y though with a slight foreign touch, and the voicework is nicely done as well, further enhancing the narration. In my experience the game also runs with no hiccups, no crashes to speak of and practically no bugs either (which is very unlike Techland, mind you).
All of these factors come together into an incredible genre piece, a love letter to the Western genre and the romanticized legends of the Old West, and further proof that Europeans can do American culture justice better than they can. Gunslinger is a damn solid game, though somewhat short, and will provide great entertainment for anyone, especially Western fans!

Its story is very good yet short with characters that are likable and sometimes funny. The Borderland art style sits this game well with its blood effects and general 'don't take this game super seriously' gameplay and story.
Its a nugget of gold in a old mine that's been forgotten by time.
10/10 definite must play!
