In May of 2010, fans of action-adventure and third-person shooter games were given a rare treat; the ability to be a cattle-rustling, train robbing, cowboy in an immersive Western environment. As John Martson, a former outlaw, gamers were tasked with hunting down three members of his former gang in exchange for the government releasing his wife and son. Traveling through a version of the United States during the decline of the American frontier, gamers could engage in gunfights, play cards in a saloon, all the while having their morality levels fluctuate depending on their actions.

In the sequel, gamers play as Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde gang as the last of the outlaws are hunted down by the government. It also features John Marston from the first game, Red Dead Redemption 2 acting as a prequel to its events. The games are some of the most expensive ever made, but they’re also some of the most beautiful to experience. Here are some gifts for the gunslinger in your life!
