A 76 average that undersells it — ask the 365 people who rated it. An adventure game leaning hard into fantasy, historical — more about the journey than the destination. A single-player game with no interest in being anything else. Respect.

About this game

From the dust of a gold mine to the dirt of a saloon, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is a real homage to the Wild West tales. Live the epic and violent journey of a ruthless bounty hunter on the trail of the West’s most notorious outlaws. Blurring the lines between man and myth, this adventure made of memorable encounters unveils the untold truth behind some of the greatest legends of the Old West.

Call of Juarez: Gunslinger is set in the twilight of the American Old West, framed as a tale told by aging bounty hunter Silas Greaves. Sitting in a saloon in 1910, Silas spins ever more elaborate stories of his younger days chasing outlaws across the frontier, crossing paths with legends like Billy the Kid, Jesse James, and Butch Cassidy. As his listeners question the gaps and exaggerations in his account, the world itself shifts around the retelling, blurring the line between history and myth. Beneath the tall tales runs a personal quest for vengeance that has driven Silas across the West for decades, and where it finally leads becomes the heart of his story.
