Introduction Red Dead Redemption 2 is a two-part Western tale of faith, faith, and the price of shame, about the inevitable demise of a diverse group of Old West resistance fighters against the slow march of civilization and the launch of industrialism. Set in the most rugged Rockstar world ever lived, there are things to do, people to meet and places to explore that gradually become overwhelming. Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t just Rockstar’s biggest achievement to date; The game is so uncompromising that it’s hard to know where to start about it. Red Dead Redemption 2 So let’s start at the beginning: It’s 1899 and America’s outlaw species is on the verge of extinction. The Dutchman Van der Linde and the gang behind the rock spur in the town of the rise of the black brook and retreated to the high mountains where a terrible blizzard covers the outlet. We spent about 60 hours on the very cold and exhausted Stimulus Arthur Morgan, who was found as a child by the Dutch and raised in violation of the law. It’s a single verse, a linear introduction, but it’s tricky. Witty cutscenes make a first impression, engage you in the crowd, and bring you closer to the characters doing their best to howl in the wind.

Conditions on the mountain are almost claustrophobic, with excellent visibility and heavy snow trapping Arthur’s feet. Launched in a real open world, after going through this heavy industry environment, you feel the incredible sense of freedom that the whole map offers. And what is this world? wider, prettier, and more varied than that explored in Dead Redemption 2010 by a wide margin (although parts of that game’s map are also included). There are peaks of snow and moisture, bordered by dangerous swamps. Dense forests and open plains. Large photos of houses and plantations. And a big lake. A dark, dusty cavity. There’s the muddy cattle town of Valentinus, with its carts and rustic charm, and then the imposing town of Saint-Denys, a dirty, dirty metropolis filled with modern luxuries like electric trams, cobblestone streets, and Chinese restaurants. There is nothing short of admirable in the variety of ecosystems and environmental settings that intertwine. Red Dead Redemption 2 also does a great job of slowly scaling systems to visit every corner of its massive world. I was always taken to parts of the map I hadn’t visited before, even in the later stages of the 60-hour main story. Because there are so many cards up their sleeve, the joy of discovering new pieces around the world is preserved. The ability of this game to stay fresh after so many hours is amazing. The ability of this game to stay fresh after so many hours is amazing, and not just because of the size and diversity of the world; This is how all places live.
