Red Dead Redemption 2 is an 18 rated story game set in the Old West (with a multiplayer mode released on Friday 30th November) and made/published by Rockstar Games. Production for it began in 2010 and it was released on the 26th October 2018. It was made because of the success of Red Dead Redemption 1 and Red Dead Revolver. The game costs £59.99 on XBox One and Playstation 4.
The story is set in 1899 at the very end of the Wild West. The protagonist, Arthur Morgan, is in the Van Der Linde Gang and a protege of Dutch Van Der Linde. The gang is on the run from the law and the pinkertons (an organisation hunting Outlaws) because of an incident that happened in the made-up city of Blackwater as well as fighting the rival gang, the O’driscolls. Your job is to help the gang set up camps and get supplies and money. As well as Arthur and Dutch there are many characters in the game for example: John Marston - John was a brother figure to Arthur until he abandoned the gang soon after his son - Jack Marston - was born, John was also the main character of Red Dead Redemption 1. There is also the leader of the O’driscoll gang - Colm O’driscoll - he leads the O’driscoll gang and is a major rival of Dutch.
The graphics look so realistic that sometimes you think you’re actually in the game. The game is good for people who like almost any genre, some aspects of the game include: stealth, action, adventure, story and fighting; my favourite of these is the stealth as it puts me on edge and giddy. The game does however have a few bugs/glitches but that should be expected from a game of this size some of them will probably be patched in a later update or a possible PC release.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is in a series of games, this one is a prequel to Red Dead Redemption 1 and a sequel to Red Dead Revolver, because of this if you have played Red Dead Redemption 1 you will see some familiar faces.
Red Dead Redemption 2 introduced Red Dead Online. In the online mode the story is a bit complicated: you were framed for murder and sentenced to death. You get freed from prison and you need to do a variety of missions with other players. A camp gets set up for you to hang around and you can even create a gang. The online mode also features character customisation.
In my opinion Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best games I’ve ever played; I think it is amazing because of its compelling story with an amazing take on the Wild West as well as its realistic graphics which aren’t just in a select few places but are everywhere including towns and the environment and the amazing gameplay features because I really enjoy story games and stealth games. I also like spotting all of the tiny details that the developers put into the game, for example Arthur’s beard will grow as the game continues and it is up to you to keep it the way you want it, your horse and clothes will get muddy and wet if it rains or you are in a river. I enjoy saving the game then breaking a lot of laws and going on murder sprees before returning to before it all happened.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is an amazing game and that's not just my personal opinion, the game got a 100% metacritic score and a prestigious 10/10 IGN rating. The game is available on XBox One and Playstation 4 and it is a must have for people who enjoy the Wild West and don’t mind some bad language, violence or gambling. If you only have a laptop/PC a port has not been confirmed yet.
