Western games: the best Wild West games on PC

What are the Western games on PC that you should be playing? It’s not an easy decision to make. The Wild West is a time of lawlessness, striking gold, and perilous shootouts - no wonder it’s the subject of many brilliant videogames.  Besides, it's not like we have a Red Dead Redemption 2 PC release date to look forward to yet. Western games are inspired heavily by the cowboy media that has come before them. Over in TV land there’s the likes of Westworld and Deadwood while cinema throws its hat into the ring with classics of the genre including Unforgiven, The Magnificent Seven, and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. It’s fair to say that the humble Western is a cornerstone of American culture. The game studios that decide to take on the challenge of bringing the American Frontier into our lives have a lot of pressure to get it right. Luckily, a number of them have absolutely nailed what being a cowboy is all about. And, fortunately for you we’ve done the hard work of corralling the varmints right here.
