Call of Juarez plays like a corridor FPS where you're funneled into a series of tightly scripted scenarios. Sometimes it's a shootout. Sometimes it's a small puzzle. Sometimes it's not technically a quick-time event, but it still kind of feels like one.

The way forward is occasionally obscure. There are no modern navigation aids—no white paint on ledges or glowing markers to point you in the right direction.

The game often feels like a collection of mini-games or vignettes—short, focused slices of different gameplay styles stitched together by a western-themed narrative.

If you're okay with that kind of design, and you don't mind the occasional moment of confusion, there's a certain charm to the whole experience.

I actually liked the game enough, but some bugs can ruin your enjoyment of the game and the checkpoint system can also undermine this enjoyment a bit. 5,6/10
