If you like long stories, adventures with realism and moral in the smallest details, or simply western aesthetics, download Red Dead Redemption 2 for PS4 the moment possible!
Pictures 5/5
The majority of the time, it may be mistaken for a true motion picture. The detail level is stunning. Realistic as a digital world could be, America at the end of the XIX century is scenic, and its inhabitants, both human and animals, very living. Voicing and acting (real acting, yes, due to motion capture) would match some pictures directed by Clint Eastwood. So select the maximum definition and connect your best speakers.
It is a role-playing sport, following the adventures of Arthur Morgan, a part of a gang we have seen from the initial installment, leading an outlaw life today. The story is directed with separate missions you have to complete, and by involving them, you can just roam around and learn more about the open world.
Western setting defines details of lifestyle. Arthur needs to eat, sleep, wash his clothes and himself, and perform sufficient training to remain in good shape. The gear he'll need includes clothes, weapons, and ammo, all the stuff you need when travelling. And, of course, horses get all of the care they deserve. There are various breeds, colors, and respective traces to select from (prices differ too). But what matters the most is the psychological bonding into your horse; the more powerful your jump, the more efficient the horse gets.
Another important issue is morals. Being an outlaw does not necessarily make you a villain. You can become one, clearly, or prefer the path of a noble offender. Each action you take raises or lowers your morale and ensures that both good and evil deeds are recorded to be repaid.
Together with the simple storyline, the game has a multiplayer mode, Red Dead Online (luckily, not Red Dear Battle Royale). It is still an RPG with combined assignments and Posse vs. Posse style.
Controls 5/5
Any situation gives you lots of freedom to act, so all the buttons, their mixtures are utilized. It may seem difficult to memorize all of those, but the controls are made intuitive for Dualshock people. It depends on the scenario: the same button or combination may change its meaning when you mount or dismount, conceal, or pick the weapon. So prepare yourself to give it some time, and it will surely pay.
Replay Value 5/5
Open world, that's the word. Even if you're through all the plot twists, you still can find something new about yourself, or only wander about and enjoy the beauty of this nature. And when you input Red Dead On The Web, the replayability begins like a firework. Looking back at each of the DLC Rockstar released for GTA V, we can expect the same policy here, so the Red Dead Redemption 2 review will require updating after every DLC release.
Conclusion
It's the game that defined 2018, and it will continue being actual for a long.
