The story follows Arthur Morgan, the enforcer of the infamous Van der Linde gang that John Marston was tasked with wiping out in Red Dead Redemption. Let me welcome everybody to the Wild Wild West Because, just like its predecessor, RDR2 ends on quite the powerful note. ![]() So consider this your early warning: I’m going to be spoiling the hell out of the end of this game, as well as stuff that happens in between on the main story quest line. I’ve since finished the game, up to and including the two-part epilogue. Hence we’ve split the bulk of our thoughts into these two separate parts. And usually, it’s very easy to get a feel for a game with 20-30 hours under your belt, since by that point you’ll have a grasp of the mechanics and for how the story is going, if not its overall plotted course.īut, given the way the first game ended and how deeply affecting it was (and how it altered everything about the game that came before it), it would be the height of folly for us to not to get as far as possible in the story before doing the final review. We’ll give it our best, but there are only so many hours in life and games such as these are generally quite the commitment. Normally, not 100%-ing a game before giving an opinion about it isn’t a big deal. He and I both played the game for over a week before its release (Rockstar provided us with review codes), but it quickly became clear we weren’t going to finish the story or even a majority of the game by the time we were allowed to publish. You may have already read my colleague Nino’s preliminary review (and if you haven’t, you should). And, for the most part, the finished game has delivered on that - with a few small caveats. The pre-release material promised an expansive, rich experience as an outlaw, telling the tragic tale of the Van der Linde gang’s descent into anarchy. ![]() And I love Red Dead Redemption 2.įew games in recent memory have felt as full of promise as this one. ![]() If there’s one thing I love, it’s a game that can give me a true emotional reaction, even when I think I know where it’s going.
