About Red Dead Redemption 2

The action of Red Dead Redemption II was set in 1899, in the days preceding the events from the previous part of the series. The Dutch van der Linde gang, known for its Red Dead Redemption, is doing well right up to the point of getting caught. When the Blackwater robbery ends in a fiasco, the criminals are forced to flee from the law enforcement and bounty hunters and, consequently, to fight for survival.

In the course of the struggle, the protagonist – Arthur Morgan, the right hand of Dutch van der Linde – often has to choose between loyalty to his friends and his own ideals. In addition, Morgan’s decisions and reputation in a given region influence the course of the story. Not without significance are also relationships with other gang members with whom we share the camp – our choices determine their attitude to the hero.

In Red Dead Redemption II the action was shown from behind the protagonist’s back. Production puts at our disposal a vast open world: it consists of rocky mountain areas, valleys covered with a network of rivers, picturesque prairies, densely forested areas, as well as cities whose inhabitants live their own lives, subject to individual schedules. Our base is the above-mentioned camp – during the game we have to take care of supplies, while caring for the morale of the team. It is worth noting that this is not only Morgan’s duty – his colleagues also set out to search if something (depending on their role, for example, wood, food or money) is missing.

The creators made efforts to make the presented world look vivid, so neutral characters dynamically react to our actions depending on reputation, appearance or previous achievements. Wild animals can be found in the wilderness. We travel the extensive map both on foot and on the back of one of the mounts representing different species; these were differentiated in terms of behavior and coping skills on difficult terrain. Importantly, Morgan can establish a bond with his horse.

Morgan has at his disposal mainly revolvers and shotguns that can be personalized in detail. The hero also uses the bow, useful, among other things, during hunting – arrows damage the prey to a much smaller extent than missiles. The game returns the Dead Eye mode, after which the activation time slows down, and we can mark several goals designed for instant elimination. There are also plenty of duels at noon, during which you must show reflexes and accuracy.
