Damn nice.

I didn't give it 5 stars because, for me, 5 star games are ones that you remember fondly 10 years after playing. That being said, very solid, fun game. About 8-10 hours long for the main story, with new game plus and extra challenges if you feel like playing more. Some dude said it's 3.5 hours long - yes, yes, we are all very impressed with your mad skillz, but that won't be the experience for most players. Some players like to actually observe and enjoy a game instead of speed running through it like it's a work assignment. The story is ok, nothing amazing, but the main attraction is the gameplay, which is super-fun, maybe because the western genre has not been very explored in games. The duels can be a bit frustrating if you play it on hard (and you should, normal seems a bit too easy if you're an experienced gamer), but other than that, time and money well spent. Save file is located here if you want to do a manual backup (at least if you're not using GOG Galaxy, not sure if that changes it): C:\Users\Your Username\AppData\Local\Techland\COJGunslinger

Great Shooter with Cool Mechanics

I came across this game by watching game review videos on Youtube. I added it to my wishlist from hearing about its special story telling mechanic. During the game you play the story of the protagonist as he is telling it to a couple of locals in a saloon. You here both the narrator (protagonist) and the locals discuss certain details of the story while you are playing it. Whenever someone notes an inaccuracy or the narrator adds another detail, these changes are made visual while you play (for example, a doorway appearing out of thin air or whole pieces of scenery or enemies being replaced before your eyes). This gives the game a unique look and feel, which I haven't experienced anywhere else. The game at its core has very descent shooting mechanics, combined with a good progression system. Additionally, it switches up the gameplay with dueling sections at the end of most chapters. The gameplay remains enjoyable till the end, and also has an extra difficulty grade which unlocks upon completion. Even as one of my first playthroughs of a western shooter game, I rate this game 5 stars.

A fun budget Western

It's easy to tell that Gunslinger was never a high-budget production with its many re-used assets, similar level designs (particularly the town shootouts), and an army of cowboy clones. Nonetheless, Techland managed to cobble together a very enjoyable (spaghetti) Western romp with plenty of fun shootouts. I particularly like its approach of story-telling, playing out like a series of dime novels from one level to the next as the protagonist talks about his exploits. I especially liked how they made playful changes to how the level played out by plopping in new paths and scenery as he changed the way he was telling/misremembering his often very quite tall tales of bravado. A good time to be had as long as you lower some of your expectations. ;)

Nice gameplay

It's the gun handling and the gameplay that are really fun! The story is also told in a very entertaining way. Overall it's a fun arcade shooter in the style of western comic books. I recommend giving it a shot ;)

No longer 'almost good'

The "Call of Juarez" series has always occupied that unfortunate 'almost good' space in the FPS genre, never really reaching the AAA polish, and nevery really compensating for it with very good gameplay. That was until "Gunslinger", which is an incredibly fun mid-budget affair with some decent humor, quick-paced shooting and cool cell-shaded graphics. It was released to little fanfare, but I think it's easily one of the best shooters of the 2010s, and perhaps the most fun shooter of 2013 alongside Far Cry: Blood Dragon. Seeing as you can now buy it dirt cheap, I'd say give it a try even if western is not really your genre.
