Red Dead Redemption 2

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a tale of loyalty, conviction and betrayal. Set in the end of the 19^th century, Red Dead Redemption 2 tries to portray the situation in northern America, where the outlaws were being chased to extinction and the wild west was coming to an end. It is one of the most detailed games produced to date, with long hours of game play in an immersive open world.

The year is 1899 and Dutch van der Linde and his gang are on the run after a heist had gone bad, which left two gang members missing, and another one injured. The gang made up of a number of wagons, all with men, women and children are retreating into the mountains in a blizzard, where they hope to lay low till the injured are nourished back to health and till the law gives up its pursuit. The player plays as Morgan, an outlaw who was raised by Dutch after his parents abandoned him as a child.

The story is long, made up of a lot of chapters and characters, ranging from outlaws, bankers, drunkards, women advocating suffrage and even rival families, which are suffering the fallout of the abolition of slavery. It also takes place across different biomes, in a world made up of bright colours and a variety of different creatures. In fact, the game features the most creatures ever put in a game, at a staggering number of 136.

The game also does not feel arcade-ish, making you feel in the protagonist’s boots. Rockstar sparred no detail with this game and this is evident in the care required to both the character and his horse, where you need to eat regularly, change your clothes depending on your environment and also feed and brush your horse to maintain its health.

Personally, I think that this is one of the best games that I ever played. Also, the reviews are not shy on this one, with the game doing quite well globally. It also sold 15 million copies in its first 8 days and generated752 million dollars in the first 3 days of release. Its immersive open world and all its features come together to create what most probably will be game of the year. Rockstar, as always have out done themselves with this one.

Players can buy this game from leading game shops or online. Also, the online features will release in the beginning of December. Something that all avid players are looking forward to.
