Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

What a game :) I love it, it got me in the mood for watching some old westerns and I will be sure to do so after leaving this review. The genius of this game? An old bounty hunter walks up to a bar and starts narrating the tales of his bounties, in them and through him in the form of flashbacks you will meet and fight alongside and against some of the most known names in old west. So every chapter is a new story, a new bounty, a new big wild west name you will test your mettle against. If you have played any of the older games in the series you know what to expect, shootouts and quickdraw duels and dual wielding revolvers and a story of revenge. There are some changes and improvements in the mechanics compared to the previous game Bound in Blood. The game has been "modernized" there are skill trees and an experience bar you fill up and floating text with score modifiers counting your kill streaks and declaring: long shot, headshot, piercing shot and so on depending on the way you killed the foes. Honestly, it isn't distracting at all and the skill trees provide satisfying upgrades compared to Bound in Blood where your only sign of progression was collecting gold to buy a level 2 or 3 gun with a small stat boost from the merchant. There is also a bullet dodge mechanic where you can fill in an adrenalize bar through the kills so you can strafe to the left or right to dodge bullets during a quick time event, the mechanic doesn't play that much importance in most gunfights but it does look cool. Especially when drawing slower than the opponent during a duel and attempting to dodge their shot while you draw a bed on them. It is cheesy but can be very satisfying. The dual wielding mechanic has also changed, you can swap pistols so you can wield different combinations of guns, but unless there is something further on on the gunslinger tree that I am missing, you can't shoot each gun individualy with left and right mouse clicks while dual wielding. You can zoom in like when using a single gun with right click instead and with the left click each gun will shoot in turn until both revolvers are depleted. So on one hand you have super cool zoomed in headshots in blazes of glory, on the other hand you dont get to use the previous games dual wield mechanic of tenderlizing them with a fast reloading quickshooter whille finishing them off with a powerful but slow firing ranger gun. The graphics are great, we finally escape (to a degree) from the yellow filter and the enemis can be spotted from a distance at last, wearing colourful scarfs and wearing clothes that aren't yellowish in yellow background. It made the gunplay all the more satifying along with the great sound design of the guns, the reloads, the spinning cylinders and the great voice acting. 10/10 for me.

Doesn't work on my system anymore :(

This is a story of an unreliable narrator while you play through his recollection of heroic events in his past. Gameplay is what you would expect of a wild west shooter.

Red dead revolver se fosse bom. Esse game é uma grata surpresa, eu nem lembro quando foi que comprei, tava perdido na minha biblioteca como um dos vários games que comprei em promoção mas esqueci. Baita jóia perdida, jogaço, ja joguei dois dessa franquia e esse aqui é tranquilamente o melhor.

Świetny shooter westernowy. Jak na 2013 rok to gra wygląda ładnie.
