Just started playing this recently and I'm absolutely tickled by how it looks. The only thing that's missing is everything being caked in CHONKY oversaturated low-res bloom so typical of late-era Xbox games. I wouldn't be surprised if it got removed in this later HD rerelease I am playing, but if it did, it's a crime against nature

Stranger's Wrath is a sci-fi Western fps set in the Oddworld universe that asks the question: What if John Marston was a furry that could double jump and run on all fours?

Aw man, old crappy xbox western aesthetic was my jam back in the day, i remember having played ALL the Call Of Juarez games, even the weird modern-day one that has the mexican Cartel instead of outlaws for the 360.

Also GUN, that game was both fun to play, but also pretty crappy (and probably problematic I can't remember).

That Call of Juarez game was kinda infamous for not only being shit but horribly racist as well

yup, looking back at it is uh....... not particularly pleasing to remember that that's the kinda of slop i chose to spend my time with, but at least shooting cowboys and unveiling ancient curses(???) was kinda fun

The first one was clunky but the second game got praised for being legit great. They did one final Call of Juarez game after the third one that was a downloadable, heavily stylised arcade shooter thing that was apparently also good

Other than cartel being infamously awful. Call of jaurez, bound in blood and gunslinger are all genuinely good games
