Red Dead Redemption 2
Although considered a newbie, having only been released October of 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 is making a lasting impact in the gaming universe. Red Dead Redemption 2 tells an epic story of life in America’s heartland, drawing the player into an unforgiving landscape and tough lifestyle. You see yourself playing as Arthur Morgan, part of the Van der Linde gang, and after a robbery gone wrong, Morgan and his group are forced to flee. There’s a bounty on your head, with you and your character’s choices determining your chances of survival.
How to be the best
Take it slow. Red Dead Redemption is a huge game, with a vast open world and gameplay this is not meant to be rushed. Morgan’s beard will grow, and you have to shave it, and your character and gang will need to feed – this means hunting and fishing in real time.
