From the very start of Red Dead Redemption 2, the gang is on the run, and because of the first game we already know the eventual fate of the gang. Taking a look at the game’s box art you have the members of the Van Der Linde gang with a blazing sunset just behind them. Of course, the theme of riding into the sunset applies to more than just graphics, but the overall story as well. Riding your horse through the wilds as the sun starts to set gives off an incredible mood that feels right out of a western, and the ridiculous detail and visual quality put into Red Dead Redemption 2’s visuals only makes it all the better. The game’s day/night cycle allows for some stunning scenic rides and vistas, especially when dusk hits. There’s no scene more iconic to the western genre than that of a cowboy riding into the sunset, and boy does Red Dead Redemption 2 have some gorgeous sunsets. Strolling into town atop your horse after days in the wilderness feels like a scene straight out of a western. It helps add to the sense that you really are exploring the Wild West, and these pockets of civilization are a relief to find in the vast openness of the game’s world. Citizens go about their daily lives running errands or going to work, dogs roam the streets barking as you ride by, passersby greet you and you can do the same with a simple “howdy.” Being able to interact with each and every NPC goes a long way in making Red Dead Redemption 2’s world immersive, and every single town or city in the game feels wholly unique, and not copy pasted in any way.įinding a new town also just feels exciting, with the promise of new weapons and items, new quests, and new people to meet. The main thoroughfare in town is trodden with countless horseshoe marks and footprints, while dust kicks up from passing wagons. From tiny towns like Valentine to the bustling city of Saint-Denis, every location in Red Dead Redemption 2 feels alive and lived in.
