    I wish the campaign was longer and a little better paced, otherwise this is a great fps for the switch

    More kills to the god of kills. Perhaps this can be said about this game.
    Talking about its features in this review is not very correct - spoilers are still a bad thing, and the game has been around for six years.
    Let's start with the simplest. The picture moved beautifully, there is no soap. How is it played? This is a dynamic shooter where you can catch a little lead. But in general,    More kills to the god of kills. Perhaps this can be said about this game.

    How to control? Who wants to - can only control the joysticks, who do not want to - can still control using a gyroscope.
    However, the story in the game is somewhat torn, confused and generally very secondary. What happens if you leave only first-person shootings in the RDR, pick up a bunch of weapons and make the character move only on his own? This game will be released.    … Expand

    Great story telling and love how the levels change as the dude tells his story. Hard to play w/ joy cons but w/e. The only real negative is the stupid duels. Horrible mechanics (press zr, then aim and press zr...so why doesnt spamming zr shoot at all??? the instructions are hit zr twice) , they dont really add anything to the game but I guess every game needs an annoying part just to be annoying.

    Not terrible. But not excellent, either... somewhere very middle of the road. Controls/aiming tend to feel unresponsive and boss battles are plain awful. Storytelling aspect is nice.

    Pretty good game but had some issues with video sequences. Nice auto AIM and story with real historical characters

    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.
