A prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption, this game is a masterpiece in every sense of the word. The story, the characters, the world, the music, everything is just perfect. It's a must play for anyone who loves games.

What' not so

  • Where my PS5 version at!
  • Completionist grind

In 1899, the end of the Wild West era has begun. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him. From the creators of Grand Theft Auto V and Red Dead Redemption, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an epic tale of life in America at the dawn of the modern age.

Few hours in, and I still cannot believe how good this game looks, on a base PS4 no less.

The in-game cutscenes play like a movie, and the story is just as good.

You can tell so much went into creating explosion and rag-doll physics.

10/10, with the only downside being the grind for 100% completion, which I cannot be bothered with, especially with no PS5 version in sight.
