In Ian MacLarty's Red Desert Render, the developer was inspired by his out-of-area adventures in Red Dead Redemption 2 Online, a game of western exploration and covert operations. This paid desert hike is quite glitchy, but that seems to be intentional. How is reality warped as you wander through vast, almost empty lands? [The former is useful when you want to admire the beautiful scenery, and the latter is useful for the secondary means of transportation, roly-poly. Yes, you can always press a button and curl up. Rolling down the massive hillside in the red desert is fun.

Of course, it's up to you whether you want to pursue this strange goal, or quit it and find your own fun in this comfortable, laid-back exploration game. But if you have a free day, it might be worth getting lost in the wild, wild west. (Thanks, RPS.)
