Pick of the Month · May 2026: Far Far West
May belongs to Far Far West — Evil Raptor's weird-western co-op shooter cleared 500,000 sales and peaked above 30,000 concurrent in its first weekend out of the gate, sitting at 97% Steam positive on 17,000-plus reviews. Friend-slop pick of the month, not by a thin margin.
You ride out as a bounty hunter — cowboy with magic spells, basically — taking contracts on a haunted frontier crawling with supernatural payday. The loop is Helldivers in saloon clothes: pick a job, blast monsters, sling spells, get paid, get out (mostly) alive. Four-player co-op holds the sweet spot, the Bigger Lobbies mod cracks it open to sixteen if your friend stack runs deep, and the comms-driven mission tempo is the cleanest tactical-extraction hybrid the catalog has picked up this year.
Saddle up. The frontier doesn't wait.
