Red Dead Redemption 2 is the most lively representation of a western world I've ever seen in any media. The amount of little details packed into it add up to be one of the biggest and lived in worlds the videogame industry has ever witnessed.

I will not spoil anything story wise, however I must mention that the "redemption" part of the game is perfect and the most accurate depiction we can get (imo). The characters are nothing short of amazing and they are all built upon incredibly well, sure they could've been developed more but given the huge amount of characters, even with its 50 hour runtime I can understand why they couldn't and only focused on the most important members in the story.

Gameplay wise, RDR2 delivers a rather immersive experience filled with many possible interactions and ways to connect with the world. The combat cements itself as smooth and chaotic at the same time. Sure, there isn't a lot to it but even with its simplicity it never ceases to be fun. I can agree with some that most of the game is spent horseback riding and listening to dialogue which I don't disagree with, but given the fantastic writing and how immersive the horseback riding is in question, it more than makes up for it in my opinion.

I do not wish to write an insanely wrong review but just know that I've barely scratched the surface with this game, there is a lot to talk about and although many people won't find it to be their cup of tea, I can most certainly say that it's something worth experiencing at least once.
