Known provocateur Sam Peckinpah was a master of the western genre. His revisionist epic, The Wild Bunch , was a violent tale of bad men doing bad things in an even worse world. Red Dead Redemption II’s similar story about the death of the outlaw age and the birth of modern civilization fits perfectly with Peckinpah's f

Woody Jackson’s original score for Red Dead Redemption II is among the best in the medium. Songs like "Outlaws from the West" and "American Venom" punctuate already great missions and heighten the experience much further than most ga

There are very few games that take place in a western setting and Red Dead Redemption II is easily the best there is. The massive landscape is ripe for exploration on horseback and the idea of role-playing as a cowboy is the biggest thrill of any game in the past dec

It has all the hallmarks of great spaghetti westerns (wonderful landscape shots, shootouts, awful voice dubbing) but injects way more humor than most do, delivering a unique take on a tested genre. It also has one of the greatest theme songs ever, used in another film on this l

The R1 and L1 buttons on your controller are what move the camera, so press those to change the angle and position. Who knows, moving the camera may let the character discover something new that they have not seen before. Good luck doing this in battle without ending your l

When you load up the game for the first time, it can take a second to figure out how to move around and check out the map. Just in case someone out there is unsure, the way to have a wander around the in-game world is to use the left analog stick on your control

Oh, and there's also the fact that the main focus of the game is crafting instead of farming. Nevertheless, it's every bit a time-sink as Harvest Moon . you get to build things for the town, raise animals, and also do other social or recreational activities. Oddly enough, the game takes place in a post-apocalypse setting, fancy t

The right analog stick will allow you to select items in the character's inventory with ease and allow you to keep playing no problem. Inventories are not so crazy when you know what to do. You can only carry so much in the inventory tab so keep an eye on how many items are in th

From the game’s flavor texts and dialogue, it becomes clear that Wolfgang , otherwise known as The Strongman, has done a lot of things in his time. He is said to have been a member of a "troupe," which sure sounds like a circus troupe. Plus, one of his skins is called the "Circus Rose Atti

Moonlighter isn't exactly a game that hands you a farm and some crops, but it's highly similar to Harvest Moon since it also involves management and exploration. In Moonlighter, you get to play as a medieval fantasy shopkeeper-- you're responsible for arming fantasy adventurers to the te

Wendy is haunted by her dead twin sister, Abigail. Obsessed with her to the point of talking to her frequently, Wendy can summon Abigail’s ghost to fight alongside her in combat. This is helpful in beating mobs of monsters and keeping Wendy safe. But why is Wendy so obsessed with her late sister and unable to move on? The text from the loading screen involving Wendy states that she "clings fiercely to the grief over her sister’s death" because she’s afraid that moving on would make her forget Abigail. That makes her depressing character seem less weird, but certainly sad

Michael Cimino’s 1980 epic western about a war between land barons and European immigrants in Wyoming was a notorious bomb. It was edited to shreds and released to negative reviews and not only ended his career but changed the way Hollywood made fi

_ Don’t Starve Together _ is a fun but often-punishing survival game where you work with your friends to forage, craft, and fight off the shadows. As you attempt to survive each day, you could probably use an occasional pick-me-up. That might mean shuffling players around, making sure your stats are up, or messing with the flow of time its

The characters of Don’t Starve all have instruments for voices when they speak, and Wilba is no exception. Her instrument is pretty special – it’s an ocarina. The Legend of Zelda fans will no doubt be thinking of Ocarina of Time , a popular Zelda game famed for its little blue ocarina that allows the protagonist to travel to different places and times. As a pig princess, is Wilba perhaps linked to Princess Zelda from Ocarina of Time ? While she speaks in musical tones like everyone else, she also oinks when she’s done speak

In a world where Marvel Films o ften get criticized for seemingly pro-imperialist messages, it is rare to see a billion-dollar franchise so openly mock the process in which it makes its money. Also, those talk radio stations have some of the best social commentary in any g

In there, combining items will cause your character to craft certain machines or items that are useful when surviving the barren wilderness of the game. Be careful to have all the materials on hand before beginning crafting copper golem or else valuable time will be was
