The sense of freedom and adventure. Heroic cowboys and dastardly villains. The bustling saloons and the quiet trails. I do love a good western and lucky for me, many game developers have felt the same way. Here is a list of fifteen great western games you can find to live out your own wild west escape! I vividly remember coming across this game on a Blockbuster rental shelf and deciding to check it out and man was I impressed. Gun featured an open-world western experience that was way ahead of its time.
Featuring an impactful faction system where your actions affect how the gangs, tribes, and townsfolk see you, as well as snappy 1st and 3rd person combat. Hunting both prey and bounties. A sweeping and engaging story where you choose if you will take the path of the hero or the outlaw.
Safe to say I rented this one several more times. However, the game took on a life of its own when none other than Rockstar Studios acquired it and its developer.
However, the silly nature of the game should not distract you from how much there is to love in this underrated shoot 'em up. Playing as a bounty hunter out for revenge on the scum who killed his family, you take to the west to solve the mystery and bring those bandits to justice.

A ludicrous experience, this free to play mod for the Valve Source Engine is the picture of stupid fun.

Even without the constant updates, the low buy-in price of absolutely nothing is reason enough to check this title out on steam.
Outlaws, Ray and Thomas scour the west in intense first-person shootouts in search of the titular gold of Juarez. One of the best features in the game is the ability to choose the brother you control. Ray favors an up-close style of combat while Thomas uses his trusty rifle to dispatch his foes at range. This was an underrated gem in the last console generation so check it out if you get the chance.
As famous as the old west itself, the legendary blood feud of the Hatfields and McCoys takes center stage in this indie hit. Choosing for a more strategic approach, The Feud makes use of the methodical tactics of the XCom games. In the months following its release, players and critics have praised the game for its production values and fair and challenging gameplay.
