GUN™

An oldie but a goodie. The grandfather of RDR and RDR2. Plays well on modern systems, although I recommend downloading both the 60fps patch and the widescreen patch which you can find here in the Steam guides, since they make the experience much more pleasant. Other than that, if you like western stories and don't mind dated graphics, you're certainly going to enjoy this game.

Red Dead Redemption 0.5

an incredible tale about a cowboy named colton white who's on a hunt for a lost city made of gold, this game is geniunely incredible, its open world, has great quests, different weapons and enemies and an insane storyline, sometimes its easy, sometimes its hard but this is probably the best wild west game ive ever played, id say even better than red dead redemption

If you liked Red Dead Redemption 1 / 2, wanted more, but are ok with 2008 graphics and control jank appropriate for that time, give this game a look. I enjoyed the story pretty well. About 5-6 hrs long, plus optional side quests.

Worth playing for nostalgia reasons, and fine as an early exploration into open-world shooters, but has a small map and other limits compared to modern titles in the genre. The plot is gritty, and includes unflinching violence, sexism, and racism (but although the game portrays these things, that does not mean to say that the game promotes them). Culturally, the game was successful at opening a dialogue about problematic history that had been glossed over in the past. By having the protagonist change allegiances between colonial and native powers, we at least get some exposure to the idea that the "good guys" simply aren't that from another perspective. However, some stereotypes persist, the Chinese immigrants are not given a voice, and you will see some offensive content. There are plenty of things to call out in your cultural studies thesis. In a way, the fact that the game is culturally outdated is a good sign that we're making social progress. Did I enjoy the game when it c...

One of my favorite games of all time. The atmosphere and story and soundtrack are crazy good for a title that never went big. Just wish it was longer or got a sequel. Too late for that now.

the game crashed and i lost all my progress no autosave and no controller support

i figured i should atleast write something for my favorite game from my childhood. this game is excellent, it runs really good on my potatoe of a laptop and its just as fun as i remember and it is a trip down memory road as i play cause i remember so much that i'd thought i wouldn't. cannot recommend it enough if you are looking for a cowboy game that came before red dead redemption this is a fantastic choice alongside red dead revolver.

its good a classic

Very cool game from my childhood, one of my favorite games. Sound in cut scenes stops working and some of the music cuts off. Other than that it runs great!
