Techland’s hardware mastery produces some vivid scenery, realistic gunplay and convincing animation, and that’s just about all I need.įrom the off, with the game throwing around detailed, effect-filled visuals and a gentle introduction that rapidly escalates into a thunderous siege (hint: the Trophy is called D-Day) Bound In Blood is happy to lay all its cards on the table. The setting might be authentic but I’m a shooter, not a historian, and the only thing that mattered to me when marching down the dusty roads of The Wild West was my aim. Ubisoft’s partnership with Techland appears to have succeeded: Call of Juarez: Bound In Blood is a powerful, dramatic tale of two brothers forced to go on the run in the middle of the American Civil War.
