Like Red Dead Redemption 2, but shorter

A summer as a fire lookout in Wyoming, with a voice on the radio for company. Walking, talking and looking at trees.

Keeps

The quiet wilderness, and a friendship built entirely in conversation.

Drops

Guns, horses and the outlaws.

An old bounty hunter telling tall tales in a saloon. When he corrects himself, the level rearranges to match.

Keeps

Western gunfights, slow-motion shooting and famous outlaws.

Drops

The open world and every slow part.

A stick-figure western RPG that is funnier than it has any right to be. Search every spittoon.

Keeps

The frontier, odd jobs for strangers and choices with consequences.

Drops

The seriousness, and the colour.

A cab driver joins a 1930s crime family, and you know from the first scene it ends badly. Arthur's arc at feature length.

Keeps

A gang that's a family until it isn't, and a period setting done with care.

Drops

Hunting, camp life and the horse. You drive.

A top-down western where five strangers ride in turn and the world remembers what the last one did. Also, there are pig people.

Keeps

Bounties, a posse and a frontier that remembers what you did.

Drops

Realism. This West has witches.

John Marston's own story, the one the sequel's epilogue sets up. A smaller map and a straighter line to the same kind of ending.

Keeps

The West, the horse, Dead Eye and a man paying for his past.

Drops

Camp chores and most of the slow animations.
