Is Red Dead Redemption 2 worth it?

Red Dead Redemption 2 is worth it if…

  • you like sad, story-rich westerns about loyalty and choices

An outlaw gang on the run

America, 1899. Arthur Morgan rides with the Van der Linde gang, fugitives hunted by federal agents and bounty hunters. To survive, you rob, steal, and fight across the rugged heartland while rifts inside the gang risk breaking it apart. At the center is Arthur's pull between what he believes is right and staying true to the gang that raised him. The story is a sad one.

Arthur and a gang falling apart

Arthur Morgan's character development is a highlight. Around him, Dutch's leadership is central to the story. You feel Dutch's hold on the gang. It suits readers who like watching a close-knit group come apart and seeing one man change.

A slow pace with hunting, fishing and riding

The world feels alive and full of small detail to notice, with a look and atmosphere that pull you in. The immersion and atmosphere are strong. You take on side missions, hunt and fish, and ride horses across the map. You ride out again with time to notice small detail. The pace is slow, which suits wandering and watching, less so if you want every hour to push the plot forward.

What else should you know?

How heavy is the story?

Sad. The gang's flight across America builds through robberies, arguments, and Arthur's choice between ideals and loyalty. Come for the characters and the slow fall of the gang more than a cheerful ending.

What is Red Dead Online?

A multiplayer mode in the same world where you ride alone or with a group. You run moonshine and face lawmen, outlaw gangs, and wild animals while making your own path on the frontier.

Is the content adult?

Yes, it suits adults. Expect shooting, blood, and sexual content.
