This game has many flaws: the controls are kinda stiff, the character sometimes behaves really idiotic to user input making weird jumps, falling ,etc. The aiming system is just terrible (right stick + LT to shoot, horrible), he is one of the thoughest survivors in this zombie apocalypse, but he can't swim. He keeps talking and talking and talking and narrating this mediocre story about his family and whatnot. There are some puzzles which are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful and mostly based on accurate (and illogical) timing. The story is bland and characters are not interesting at all.

I struggled to complete this game because of all thos factors, yet I did, so you can see that not only does it have many flaws, but it also is a very short game.

Don't waste your money, save for other games.

This sets a new record in my 27 years of life of the worst game I've ever played. Not only does it looks like it was meant to be played but ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, but also the controls feel like programmed by a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ and the character's response is annoyingly slow. If it wasn't for playfire I wouldn't even have installed it.

He's bla--AFRICAN AMERICAN and one of his powers is called "KuKluKan" (KKK).

Call of Juarez Gunslinger is great, albeit short, FPS narrating the story of Silas Greaves, a cowboy bounty hunter seeking revenge after his brothers were murdered. The game takes place in Western-times and it is basically a shoot-them-all type of FPS, and even though I hate these kind of FPS, there's something about this one that I loved. Perhaps it is the fact that Silas narrates the story as you play and it is so well written it encourages you to play to find out more. I love how he changes parts of the story and you have to play them again from another perspective. There's also something in his character making him very lovable.

You don't get a lot of different guns, but they are more than enough to go thru the story. I particularly loved the rifle and the quickshooter pistol. There's also a sawed-off shotgun, a shotgun, and some other pistols. You can upgrade the guns and your reflexes/combos by gaining EXP, which adds some twist to the shooting portion of the game. You also get dynamite, making it lots of fun to blow bad fellas up. Even though the firing is quite good, there's something about the game that bothers me. It seems that you gotta get the scope spot on or you will miss the shot... if you miss the aim by 1 mm, it'll be a loss, even with the shotgun, which doesn't make sense. There's also something weird about the ironsight in which you have to aim lower than the sight to get headshots. Anyway, you get used to that quickly.

The only thing I really hated about the game is the duels. They are based on crippling the player by making your aim move randomly and you just have to click when the other one pulls out his gun, then aim and shoot, which is really weird and most of the times it seems based on luck rather than skill. This really pissed me off. I hope the find another way to do this in the next game.
Another downside is that the game is really short. I passed it in 8 hours and I didn't rush it at all (I tried to get all nudges of truth in every chapter). Being used to 15+ hour-games, this one felt really, really short, but damn, did I get a good time playing it.

I hardly ever replay games unless something new to the story is brought in, but I am now replaying it in the western (I think) difficulty mode, which removes the hud and crosshair. There's also an arcade mode and a duel mode I haven't tried yet, but the first one looks fun (I think it's based on combos and scores).

I highly recommend this game to anyone that likes FPS with a good story and encouraging characters. You'll definitely have a good time.

L.A. Noire has to be one of the most over-rated games I've ever played. First of all, this game is sold as an open-world game. Well, you don’t get to do anything but going to the locations you need to investigate, so if you can call that open world, then I’d rather play non-open-world games. But this isn’t the main problem with the game, in fact, the game has a lot of problems. One of the most annoying problems is that it is a terrible, unoptimized mod locked at 30 fps. You can bypass this with apps like Widescreen Fixer, but still, the game runs terrible, you can be facing a wall and getting 22 fps or looking at the city and getting 60. They are jumping all the time, making it really annoying to play. Fortunately, this game is more of free-roam point-and-click game rather than the action game they try to sell us here.

Another problem is the linear and extremely repetitive gameplay. You will end up waiting for the clue sound, realizing that you won’t find anything in bodies unless they’ve been strangled, had a ring or a watch, or a document in one of the pockets – so don’t look at the corpses’ hands or heads unless any of this conditions apply. The “distractors” are sometimes so random they don’t even make sense. There’s this mission where a card has been crashed near a sign and this dead woman with a blunt force trauma injury to the head. I found a golf club outside the perimeter, but Phelps said “this doesn’t pertain to the case”; well, why do we need CSI if we have Phelp’s magnificent nose! On another crime scene I remember finding a knife, seriously, a knife!, which of course was “circumstantial”.

Then we have the acting. So many popular actors, and such a terrible acting. Phelps sounds like a cyclothymic freak who has just escaped some mental asylum, dressed as a cop and started questioning everyone. Seriously, he’s mood is so borderline he can go from being the good cope to a maniac in no time. I’m sure this doesn’t have to do with the actors, but with poor scripting and the editors joining the audio with the scenes in a not realistic way.

The interrogation in the game usually makes no sense. Either the suspects make some very obvious lying expressions, or they don’t. And some times, they look like they are obviously lying but you get it wrong. This doesn’t affect your progress except in one case, so who cares? Phelps will be accusing everyone of lying anyway.

Finally, the action scenes… they are pathetic, so say the least. The shooting is so stiff and boring you just can wait with your gun out and shoot everyone with one clip. And the driving/chasing scenarios are god-awful. Usually, the car you are pursuing will accelerate breaking physics laws and making turns so robotically you will end up crashing against a corner most of the times, not to mention than driving is so irritating you will be asking your partner to drive to most locations just to avoid it. There’s also one of the last sections in the game where you have to escort a car and some police cars are trying to take it out, and by just bumping into one of these cars they immediately dismantle – it’s hilarious!. It’s a good thing they added the option of skipping this stupid parts of the game after you fail them twice.

One thing I did like of the game was the face animations… that I will be missing in probably all non-AAA games, but that doesn’t compensate for this mediocre, over-rated piece of crap.


Seriously, avoid this game. Or borrow it from a friend, or even use steam family share. But please, save some bucks and don’t buy it even if it is on sale like I did.

This game is terrible. The idea is quite interesting, but the game is so poor in writing and programming that it is ruined from the start. The kills are probably ok for the most part (although there are some VERY silly ones), but sometimes you have to get items you wouldn't have even remotely considered getting for this kill, it gets ridiculous. The animations are just god awful, they are pretty basic and ruin most of the kills. Finally, the game is poorly optimized so even with a good rig you will get some fps drops, not to mention that on some parts I got stuck (usually in the garden ladders).

Well this game is really really fun. I won it on steamgifts and I though "a stealth sidescroller? yeah, right". Well how wrong I was!. The game has a lot of stealth elements such as hiding in the shadows/plants/ceilings, etc, stealth kills, hiding bodies, breaking lamps, and also some other elements such as finding hidden stuff.
On the contrary, if you don't have a controller the gameplay can be quite difficult, so I recommend getting one if you want to enjoy this game to it's full potential.

Great gameplay, fantastic and twisted story. The shooting can get a bit irritating when enemies take 5 bullets without dying (or heavies getting shot in the face 20 times before they die), but it was a hell lotta fun to play!. The story compensates with its flaws without a doubt.

A poorly optimized game. It won't run properly no matter what rig you have. Terrible gameplay, plagued with bugs (you will find more bugs than zombies, guaranteed) and the main concept is screwed up as the game encourages people to kill each other instead of working together to survive (something that in a real life situation seems more plausible than just everyone killing each other for batteries and soda cans)

A poorly optimized game. It won't run properly no matter what rig you have. Don't waste your money on this, specially if you are after DayZ.
