Red Dead Online for PC is fun with faults. The most game-breaking glitch is when the player gets trapped in the stable loading screen (make your horse flee before entering the stable or "play our #1 seller, 'Grand Theft Auto V'" to work around this issue). Free roam occurrences don't spawn as often as they are featured on console. Sometimes hackers spawn 70 Sheriffs on your character and make animals spontaneously combust. Hopefully this game gets the update it deserves. Even with these existing issues, if you want to be a cowboy, get this gorgeous game. When it works, Red Dead is addictive cowboy nonsense.

Hunt: Showdown is a weird western and cosmic horror first person shooter. The premise has artistic depth that makes it more than a death match. The gun play is some of the most satisfying I've ever experienced. This game can be infuriating, but that is the way of the west.

Dark Souls 4, Dark Souls 2: 2, Dark Souls 2+2, Sekiro .5, Onion Ring is a good game. Get fingered.

Find your very own Sun! If only I could be so grossly incandescent. The themes of power and humanity are brilliantly reflected through the seemingly endless lore of this game. There is a fundamental positioning and timing that must be learned before one fully utilizes a unique play-style. Once this learning curve is overcome, the fulfillment is beyond exciting. New game plus is a unique and engaging experience. The world design provides both satisfying and treacherous areas with many paths hidden in plain sight. The score is fantastic and executed perfectly. This experience of patience, fantasy, and mystery is to be referenced till long after you turn hollow.

DayZ is one of my favorite games of all time. The world design has beautiful hills and roads that tell the story of a ruined world. Survival against starvation, dehydration, and sickness make the game a fun challenge. These challenges make it rewarding to find items to fend off the dangers of nature. Gun functions from loading to shooting are informative and fun with realistic bullet physics. Since this game was in alpha with zombies traversing through every wall and fence, DayZ always has a charm that draws me back into the hills of Chernarus.
