GAME ON!

Red Dead Redemption 2 Open word/Western adventure

Iwanna be a cowboy, baby! When it comes to open-world games, there can be no question that Rockstar Games is at the top. Over the past two decades, the game developer has punched out sprawling adventures in both its Grand Theft Auto series and with the likes of

the first Red Dead Redemption and L.A. Noire. While other developers have used the open-world template that was established in 2001 with Grand Theft Auto III with varying successes, Rockstar Games consistently supplies players with games that practically glow with quality.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is no different in this regard.

The game’s story centres on the outlaw Arthur Morgan, the gruff-voiced, weather-beaten second-in-command of an outfit called the Van der Linde Gang.

The gang’s leader, Dutch, is something of a father-figure to Arthur – the latter has been in Dutch’s company since he was a boy – but his recent erratic behaviour is starting to give Arthur pause for thought.

Rockstar is as ruthless with its characters as the showrunners on Game Of

Thrones, so players can expect a lot of drama and plot twists packed in with some of the best action they can currently find on a console.
