    The shooting dynamics are good. The setting, characters, voice acting, and storytelling are good. But they made terribly stupid decisions for the boss fights. The main part of the level will be fun and then end with you stuck in a low spot with enemies all around and above you.

The main part of the level will be fun and then end with you stuck in a low spot with enemies all around and above you. He can't jump well at all so you're stuck in that absurd situation until beating the enemies and some magical path opens up. I hated every single one of those fights, complete garbage design choices on top of an otherwise great game. The dorector of this was a moron.… Expand

    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger passed by me in the last generation, but I’m happy to say the Switch port is an excellent way to experience the series for the first time, and the addition of motion controls make it worth considering a return to the American Frontier.

    Its frantic action and its story couldn't have aged better, something that doesn't stand out so much in the graphic section. Fans of the Wild West can play this game on Nintendo Switch to live one of the funniest experiences ever created.

    Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is an absolute diamond in the rough. The motion-comic cut-scenes get the job done, but are otherwise unimpressive to look at. The frame-rate can get really rocky when there are tons of lawmen about, firing rifles or revolvers from all over a town, as Silas darts from cover to cover. The overall concept and execution on the other hand is pure genius and fully takes advantage of the historical setting, flawlessly weaving it into the gameplay. John Cygan as Silas Greaves is an utter joy to listen to, as he gradually succumbs to a hilarious stupor. The arcade-like structure makes Gunslinger a natural fit for the Nintendo Switch's portable mode, so that chunks of the game are easily digested and completed while on the go.
