What players say
This franchise's world is incredibly creative. The story and humor are great. Reminds me of my favorite movie Rango.

A quirky and unique game. I don't think I have ever played a game like this. This game is hard to explain. You are a bounty hunter looking to take down outlaws so you can fund your life-saving surgery. It is a mix of FPS and 3D platforming. You have an arrangement of different ammo at your disposal that has different characteristics for baggin' outlaws. The story and characters are great. I am not going to go into...
Works great on the Steamdeck! This was an xbox original exclusive that came out shortly before xbox 360s release so it got overlooked by many but it's an incredibly unique and fun game. It combines platforming, puzzle solving and first person shooting, still holds up 20 years later.
Steam reviews, mixed to its ratio and rotated daily. Opinions are theirs.
About the game
You're the Stranger, a mysterious bounty hunter on a mission to bag the ultimate prize. And you need that money like no one else because there is something very wrong with your health and the only way to fix it is a very costly operation.
