Here are a few examples of the tiny things that make this game so immersive, some of which you may not know about even if you have been playing the game non-stop since release. ![]() Even the people will have different reactions to things like being robbed. Every building feels completely individual, the trees are also seemingly individual and not just copied and pasted into the world. Nothing in this lovingly rendered homage to the Old West feels cookie cutter. The sheer level of detail and effort put into this game is close to absurd. Even the fishing in Red Dead 2 could be a fully functioning game in its own right with some commentators expressing the belief that it’s more detailed than some actual fishing simulator games. Red Dead Redemption 2 has included all of these and added more games with more detail, even allowing you to play them with members of the gang who will talk about the outcome of the games for days after. These would allow you to take a break from the main story and spend some time kicking back playing Poker, Blackjack, horseshoes and others. The first Red Dead was already noted among its contemporaries for the sheer number and quality of fully functional games-within-the-game. One of the things Rockstar have done to show clear advancement from previous games is to have ramped up and added to the available mini-games. Knowing the fate of certain gang members makes your play-through of the second game all the more poignant. If you haven’t played the first game, I would definitely recommend a play-through. After recovering, Marston tracks Williamson down to Mexico where he is hiding out with Javier Escuela, another member of Dutch’s gang you can interact with in Red Dead Redemption 2. First John hunts down Bill Williamson, one of the senior guns in Dutch’s gang, only to be shot and left for dead, later to be rescued by a local Rancher called Bonnie McFarland. This all takes place shortly after the conclusion to Red Dead Redemption 2. It begins with his wife Abigail, and child Jack being kidnapped by crooked law-men in order to force John into hunting down his old gang pals and Dutch himself. The first game actually takes place after the second, and follows John Marston, one of the members of Dutch’s gang in Red Dead 2. The first thing you should know going into this humongous game is a little backstory to the first one. Rockstar have clearly gone into this with the desire to produce a world you can get lost in and, in my opinion, they have more than succeeded. Surprisingly, in the world of triple-A games rushed to the market by publishers, Red Dead Redemption 2 took it’s time with development, spending over 8 years getting everything right, and it more than lives up to the inflated expectation, coming out to rave reviews. ![]() ![]() Predictably, it advances on the previous game in almost every way, with a breath-taking level of detail, nuanced and believable characters, and a million things-to-do. Part of what is so enjoyable about this game is not just the shoot-outs and train robberies and bar brawls you get caught up in while playing as the old west outlaw Arthur Morgan, but the tiny things that you only notice hours into the game, or the things you only notice after hearing about them and actively seek out in-game. Red Dead Redemption 2 has been out for a few weeks now, enough for players to really get stuck in.
