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 top cowboy games. 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. Here are the best Western games on PC : Red Dead Redemption 2 Hard West Call of Juarez: Gunslinger Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive Outlaws Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath Steamworld Dig 2 Gun Fallout: New Vegas West of Loathing Red Dead Redemption. Red Dead Redemption 2. A prequel to one of the best western games of all time, Red Dead Redemption 2 throws you in at the brunt end of life as a cowboy. Not that RDR2 is without whisky swilling, tavern brawls, or nights camping under the stars, but we now see another side to this scrappy way of living. You play as Van der Linde gang member Arthur Morgan and right-hand man of Dutch, the baleful leader of the outlaw gang. The murky morality the gang embraces in order to survive in a world that no longer accommodates their lifestyle is constantly tested across this epic tale – unlike many western games, RDR2 looks at the American frontier in transition, and that’s brilliantly reflected in the downtrodden Van der Linde gang. In Red Dead Redemption 2, you’ll learn how to be a cowboy, but along with taming horses and bounty hunting, you’ll also have to learn how not to be a cowboy and survive in a world that is slowly abandoning your lifestyle. But there’s unparalleled freedom in Rockstar’s open world, it’s a place where you can lasso escaped outlaws and lay them on railway tracks like a pantomime villain, get drunk at saloons and start a town-wide brawl, and ride through the dry, dusty plains shooting deer for dinner. HARD WEST. Before Creative Forge released its ‘XCOM with spies’ title Phantom Doctrine the team made an ‘XCOM with cowboys’ game called Hard West – and it’s one of the best strategy games around. Hard West’s story covers eight scenarios with a number of different characters, all bound together by Death – literally. The mysterious supernatural stranger, who may or may not be either the Devil, offers you a chance to avenge your family’s murders with a range of special abilities. These are unique to each character, from simple ones like having more health to truly unearthly powers such as being able to see the future, or the ability to resurrect. In the main map you can freely travel over the world buying items, visiting towns, mining for gold, and making questionable decisions that will come back to bite you. The combat is very much in the style of XCOM: Enemy Unknown, with neat new ideas such as a ‘luck meter’ – which determines whether or not you can get hit – and the ability to spot, and attack, hidden enemies by their shadows. It’s clever and addictive all round, and is a far cry from some of the other Western games on this list. CALL OF JUAREZ: GUNSLINGER. The Call of Juarez series boasts having some of the finest Western games around, but the inclusion of Gunslinger over the perhaps more popular Bound In Blood may be a surprise. While the earlier games are undeniably excellent, they have aged a fair bit in places – whereas Call of Juarez: Gunslinger still looks great thanks to its wonderful cel-shaded art style. Gunslinger also has the wonderfully cinematic ‘cheat death’ mechanic that slows down time and zooms in on the bullet that’s about to kill you, and if you avoid it you get your health back. In the moment of your near-death, the game’s whole world turns black and white, apart from enemies, which allows you to dodge bullets as if you were Max Payne. The one-on-one ‘Showdown’ duels also standout and are played almost like puzzles, as you manoeuvre your hands and sights while watching your opponent’s, and you can even kill them before the time’s up if you don’t mind being called “dishonorable.” There’s even a slice of Bulletstorm in here as you earn bonus XP points for pulling off stylish kills.

You play as Silas Greaves, whose older self is telling the story years later – and sometimes he gets it wrong, or others interject. The levels actually shape themselves around the tale being told, so enemies, areas, and even time itself can change right in front of you. All of which makes Call of Juarez: Gunslinger an unpredictable, incredibly enjoyable, and unique shooter. DESPERADOS: WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE. Now is the perfect time to revisit the original Desperados as there’s now a third game in the series finally on the way. Essentially a Wild West take on classic WW2 strategy game Commandos, Desperados: Wanted Dead or Alive is, arguably, a better game than its more famous inspiration. The main reason for that is the cast. Gunslinging bounty hunter John Cooper is fun but predictable for a cowboy, so it’s great to have some different faces alongside his: gambler Kate O’Hara, sniping and grumbling Doc McCoy, and monkey-wielding Mia Yung. They’re all entertaining to play and have a diverse set of histories for you to learn about. The levels, as per the Commandos styling, are tough as nails, but are designed incredibly well. They hold up in their looks even today, too, as all the backdrops are hand-painted. In many ways, Desperados is more of a puzzle game than a strategy one, in that it’s all about agonizing over the best path to victory. Yes, it’s hard, but like some of the best old games it can be so rewarding. OUTLAWS. There are none of the fancy ideas you get in modern shooters here. Outlaws – one of the few original LucasArts IPs that wasn’t an adventure game – is a pure, straightforward, and well-designed FPS, in the style of the original Doom and Star Wars: Dark Forces. LucasArts was one of the few ‘90s developers to put story front and centre in its games. That means the classic Western revenge story of Outlaws gets to shine. You play as retired US Marshal James Anderson, who returns home to find that a gang of vicious outlaws have kidnapped his daughter and murdered his wife. You have to track them down over an excellent string of levels that channel pure old-school FPS action. Old but gold: The best old games on PC. It looks basic by today’s standards, but if you accept it as no-nonsense fun with tightly-designed levels that are packed with secrets, you’ll get a hell of a kick out of Outlaws. It’s surprisingly realistic in parts, though – a couple of bullets from your basic pistol will kill any enemy (except the bosses), so its range of weapons are better weighed up for their accuracy than firepower. Special mention has to be given to the voice acting, too, which even sports John de Lancie (Q from Star Trek) as “Dr Death” – and the incredible orchestral soundtrack by Indiana Jones regular Clint Bajakian. ODDWORLD: STRANGER’S WRATH. Most of the Oddworld series focuses on the friendly Mudokon named Abe as he escapes and plots revenge against his corporate owners in a series of action-adventure games.
