A new open-world experience taken to a whole new level by Rockstar.
The release of Red Dead Redemption II is upon us and many fans are eagerly waiting to get their hands on the game. Red Read Redemption II is defined by violence, both in fully active and passive ways. There are predators that scour and kill their pray with no forgiveness and there’s bandits roam the highways.
If you’ve played Red Dead Redemption, you already know the ending to the tragic story. Watching everything unravel as the law chases the gang across the country is an enticing experience throughout Red Read Redemption II. Rival factions develop among the gang, and you see Dutch van der Linde transition from a leader to a psychopath.
Dutch’s right hand man, Arthur Morgan, is the person that’s right at the center of the storm. He struggles with his own morality and against this gang’s own actions. Unsurprisingly, he feels more at home with liars, murderers, and thieves than he does with those honest individuals. You experience his struggles through the choices he makes as you are taken across the Western experience.
Red Dead Redemption II is by far the most action-packed and cohesive adventure created by Rockstar Games. There’s a great balance between mission design, open work, narrative, and gameplay systems. This balance provides for a great lengthy game that continues to subdue the player and the experiences they feel. If you don’t believe it, it will likely take you around 80-plus hours or so to complete the story missions. It’s worth mentioning that you may occasionally run into religion or boredom, but it’s all part of the experience, fear not.
