Exploring the wild west in the year 1899 while riding horses and trains are essential to traverse

from different places. Finally, after some years, Rockstar had launched the next installment of its
successful game. Red Dead Redemption 2 was released back on October 26 of 2018 on
Exclusively on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles. The game is developed by Rockstar
Studios and published by Rockstar Games. Then a year later, the game has made its way in PC.
At first, the PC version of the game came first in the Epic Game Store but after a month later it
followed its launch in Steam.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an action-adventure game and it is a prequel to the First Red Dead
Redemption in PlayStation 3 that tells the story of the Outlaw Arthur Morgan and his gang who
are bandits roaming around the Fictional States, Western part of the US to hide from the bounty
hunters and law. Like any other hybrid open-world action-adventure game, it features a vast size
of the map where the player can roam anywhere via horse, trains, and fast-travel by accessing the
fast-travel option in his camp. Take note that the fast-travel does not mean that it will
instantaneously move the character on the specific location like in any other games that also have
the feature.

Fast-travel in RDR2 will just transfer the character in the visited towns only near to its objective
or destination so you will still need to run or use a horse to get there. Many surprises are waiting
on the map. There are wild animals that can be hunted to cook, skinned, and even donate or sell
them to butchers. Animal pelts can also be brought to trappers that are disseminated around the
map to craft new gears. Legendary animals are not hard to find. They will have an icon on the
map and after arriving at the legendary animal's territory, they can be tracked by using the
character's ability, the "Eagle Eye" to point out their current location.

While roaming around the map, the character will meet different people from every town and
there will be a special mission known as Stranger that once it's done, another mission from that
person will appear that sometimes it will not appear in map icon as a "?" sign anymore but its
name initials now appear. Stranger missions can be encountered in a specific area and they can
appear during specific times of the day. Bounty hunting is one of the sidequests of the game that
can be done even if the game's story is finished. It is found in different towns inside the Sherrif's
office. The character must approach the Poster to begin the bounty hunting sidequest. Once the
criminal or violator has been tracked, it must not be killed at any cost and must be brought in the
Sheriff's office alive to succeed in the quest and gain money as a reward.

Fishing is also available in the game and it can be done anywhere on the map. The fishing rod
and fishing will be unlocked once the character progress in the story. Fish that have been caught
can be used as food to restore health but it can only be used when camping to cook it. Aside from
normal fishes, there are also Legendary Fish that can be caught in a specific area of the map. If
you are not sure where to find and locate those legendary fishes, here is the complete detailed
map containing all the information including other collectibles and sidequests of the game.

The character's clothes can be changed by going to the Tailor, Fence that sells unique masks and
can craft wearable trinket items, and Trapper. The Trapper can be found in different areas and
can make you an outfit that is made out of the pelts of an animal that the character hunts down.
Some outfits to make require a legendary animal's pelt or a specific one and cash must be added
to make it. When it comes to saving, the game saves automatically but it can also be done
manually by selecting it in the options of the game. Weapons like guns and melee weapons are
purchasable in the Gunsmith Store but some of its weapons are lock in the early game. Some
are just obtainable by taking down an enemy or simply rummaging the area especially houses
and private properties.

When the character is being hunted down by the bounty hunters due to its bad behavior like
killing everyone or causing a commotion to every town, it can be paid out by going to the Post
Office to pay its bounty so that the bounty hunters will stop tracking down. Honor is also the
reason why the character is wanted to law and bounty hunters. Minigames like Blackjack,
Dominoes, Five Finger Fillet, and Poker can be found either in camp or in towns. By doing this
unlocks an achievement of the game if all mini-games were played. Some missions are about
gunning and chasing, that is why health and stamina are paramount.

Health and stamina can be restored by drinking or eating in the inventory that can also be used in
real-time when running or in the middle of combat. The health can also be decreased when the
stamina is depleted. Health, stamina, and dead-eye are the character's cores. The dead eye is a
special ability of the character that slows time and hit all the enemies' certain body parts in a
distance. This can be essential in a tight situation or want to save some bullets. However, just
like the two cores, it also drains and requires provisions to fully restore it. The character can
swim but it cannot dive deep and stamina is being drained while staying or swimming in the
water. When the stamina is drained, the character will also lose its health and will slowly sink in
the water and will die. Nevertheless, remember to keep an eye on the stamina core.

Horses have also cores but only health and stamina and it can be restored also by feeding it in the
inventory. The horse's bond level between the character increase by riding it all the time, praising
it while riding, and of course grooming it that the staple. By doing this will increase the horse's
stamina and health but food and tonic can also be used to restore it. Weapon switching is
convenient by just navigating the weapon wheel and some owned and purchased weapons are
stored in your horse. Just remember to pick the best weapon before leaving your horse for a
gunfight. Always keep in mind extra firearms like pistols and revolvers are important especially
in a dire situation. Switching to secondary weapons helps to save the bullets of your main
weapons like rifles and shotguns. Take note that some specific weapons are handy in specific
combat.

Enemies can be taken down without using violence and wasting bullets that prevent anyone from
noticing it. Stealth kill plays an important role in this game to save some ammunition and
without alerting nearby enemies. Stealth can be done by using a bow, throwing-knife or
approaching the enemy from behind to initiate a stealth blow. Red Dead Redemption 2 will take
some time to finish since it has a great length of a story plus its side-missions that makes this
game worth to play.

The game also has an online mode where other red dead players team up with another to do a
specific mission or just ride their horses together feeling like a genuine cowboy. Red Dead
Redemption 2 is not just about shooting, robbing, and running. It also contains a splendid story
in the past that gives insight or idea including how people live during that time and fighting for
their rights to be free from others' judgment. RDR2 will make you stay at home until the game is
finish and there's so much more to explore even if the game's story is completed.
