Neversoft's GUN | Retrospective - The First Open World Western

Today we're taking a look at Neversoft's criminally underrated western title: GUN. A game that predates Red Dead Redemption by five years! It's one of my favorite games of all time and probably the game I've finished the most amount of times. This retrospective / review covers everything there is to know about the game. I've even managed to get some unseen concept art courtesy of Christopher George, lead character artist for the game! So saddle up! We're going on a wild adventure!
