Yeehaw! ‘Red Dead Redemption meets Stardew Valley’ in cozy cowboy life sim Cattle Country

Howdy, partner! Holster that six-shooter and belly up to the bar for a spell, I’ve got some news for a cowpoke like you. If you love horse-drawn wagons, shootouts with bandits, and dusty little frontier towns, you might want to lasso this new game and drive it into your corral (that’s Old West talk for “add it to your Steam wishlist.”)

It’s called Cattle Country, and the announcement from publisher Playtonic Friends describes the “cozy cowboy life sim” as “Red Dead Redemption meets Stardew Valley.” I know what you’re thinking: barely a day goes by without some new game billing itself as “Stardew Valley Meets [Something Else]” these days. But hold your horses, because it’s kinda hard not to find this one immediately appealing.
