West of Dead
Blacknut
Step into the boots of William Mason, a ghostly gunslinger voiced by Ron Perlman, in West of Dead. This fast-paced, twin-stick shooter combines tactical cover mechanics with intense shootouts in a supernatural version of Purgatory. Dodge bullets, take cover, and unleash precision shots as you battle outlaws and demonic foes in procedurally generated levels. The gritty comic-book aesthetic and atmospheric storytelling make this a must-play for fans of stylish action.
Raw Fury
Editor's Note: Fun fact, the PRCA was founded in 1936 and is the oldest and largest professional rodeo organization in the world. It started as the Cowboys' Turtle Association when a group of cowboys protested for fair prize money.
Call of Juarez: Gunslinger

For those who love classic Wild West tales, Call of Juarez: Gunslinger delivers an unforgettable ride through legendary showdowns. Play as Silas Greaves, a bounty hunter recounting his encounters with infamous figures like Billy the Kid and Jesse James. With tight gunplay, slow-motion duels, and a gripping narrative, this game lets you relive the myths and legends of the Old West like never before.
Blacknut
Six Guns

El Hijo: A Wild West Tale
Blacknut
For a different take on the Wild West, El Hijo: A Wild West Tale is a beautifully crafted stealth adventure that tells the story of a young boy searching for his mother.

Its charming art style and engaging gameplay make it a unique and refreshing addition to the genre.
