Hell or High Water was a great movie that had a more modern take on a western, so I'd highly recommend that to anyone who hasn't yet seen it.
Puss in Boots: The Last Wish can be described as a western I guess, and that was my favorite movie that I saw last year.
It doesn't seem like we've been getting very many western-style movies recently, with everyone being on the fantasy or superhero trends. That being said I do think there are a lot of great movies that take inspiration from them in the past 10-15 years so I doubt the genre will ever truly die.
I've been having a blast playing Abiotic Factor with my friend group. It's a survival-crafting game thats set in a retro underground research/containment facility with a narrative. I've seen it described as a cross between Half-Life and the SCP foundation and they really nail the vibe. What impresses me the most is the huge handcrafted interconnected map. The most recent update added a couple new zones which have been very fun to explore which is where we currently are. Its in early access which may not be everyone's jam but definitely a game to keep your eye on if you enjoy that genre.
Just recently completed Nine Sols as well, which has been my favorite game this year. Pretty challenging but one of the best metroidvanias to come out since Hollow Knight. It adds a parry mechanic very similar to sekiro which felt weird in 2D at first but the combat may be my favorite of any metroidvania now. It also had some of my favorite boss battles in any game I've played - this one is definitely worth picking up.
I'm currently replaying Ori and the Will of the Wisps, which looks fantastic on an OLED screen with HDR. Playing it on hard difficulty with all the damage-boosting charms and it has been a fun challenge; I remember feeling like the game was a little bit too easy compared to the first game on my first playthrough.
