What are the best Western games? The Wild West was a time of lawlessness, striking gold, and perilous shootouts – no wonder it’s the subject of many top cowboy games. We’ve donned our stetson and cowboy boots and set out on horseback to find you the cream of the American Frontier crop.
The best PC games based in the Wild West are inspired heavily by the cowboy media that has come before them, and 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 this time period into our lives have a lot of pressure to get it right.
