Media that depicts life in the Old West is something that has fascinated me since I was a kid… Who has never once thought about or pretended they were a cowboy, saving a helpless village from bandits or wolves? If you say you never have, I choose not to believe you because then that would make me a weirdo, and I have enough problems.

Red Dead Redemption 2 came out 5 years ago, and I can only play through that 80-hour game so many times. I know that story like the back of my hand, so It’s time for a new western fantasy to be immersed in.

Thankfully, Above Snakes is on its way to save the day and deliver an even more in-depth simulation of life in the Old West thanks to its immersive survival/crafting/RPG gameplay. In it, you’ll be able to build your own homestead, craft all of your tools & weapons, and even customize the lands you explore by unlocking chunks of land to add on to the playable area.

It looks great, and if you’re as excited to get into it as I am, then check out this Above Snakes PC controls & hotkeys guide. It has everything you need to know in terms of how to control your character and survive in the harsh wilderness, and it’s all laid out in a way that is easy to read. We recommend that you keep the guide open as you play so you can quickly reference it without causing too much of a pause in your gameplay. So either keep this page open or take notes so you can get the most out of this awesome Western experience!
