![]() ![]() I hate to do this, but I’m going to spoil one of those moments to illustrate my point. The first thing it does is create shocking moments that subvert your videogame expectations. Deep down, Red Dead Redemption 2 does two things that evolve not just the original Red Dead Redemption, but the entire lineage of open-world Rockstar games. It’s tempting to look at RDR 2 and see just a new coat of paint, just a boost in graphical fidelity, just a new story laid out in the same way. It’s still a story about criminals trying to get out of dodge. The world, though vast, is simple: everything you need is clearly marked on your map, and any type of transaction is straightforward. Missions are still rigid and allow little room for creativity or improvisation. ![]() I can’t think of any game with this much detail, let alone another Rockstar game.īut, at the same time, RDR 2 is still the same standard Rockstar fare we’ve been getting since the 3-D GTA days. The level of detail in every tiny element is at a new all-time high. The characters are perhaps the most developed characters in any open-world Rockstar game, even though they’re sometimes repetitive and stiff. The virtual world looks and feels even more real than before. Most of the obvious advancements are visible on the game’s surface and can be summed up in a few sentences. So if this is an advancement from 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, what has changed?

This game is Red Dead Redemption 2, after all - not Red Dead Origins or Red Dead Revolver Redux.
