Minigames in open-world titles, by most accounts, can serve as bite-sized bits of variety in-between missions or while traveling across the map; good for some mild distraction, but usually not much more. But in the rare occasions, minigames like these can add a surprising amount to the believability and depth of a world beyond just its map size and scale. Given that I put in as much time into The Witcher 3 ‘s Gwent as I did in most other games by themselves, there’s certainly something to be said that when done well, open world minigames can add so much more to a believable game world in their own right. And inside the game’s world drenched in the imagery and themes of the Wild West, Red Dead Redemption 2 maps Dead Redemption ‘s minigames were definitely some of the best examples of that extra level of detail and immersion.

This weapon is unique as it involves completing the Gunslinger side quests. These side quests take you away from the main plot of the game, but boy do they provide some of the best weapons in the game. One of the quests involves hunting down a shootist named Billy Midnight. If you end him, you’ll grab his powerful Mauser pistol, with gold engravings and great accuracy and fire rate. While the damage is average, the weapon is powerful to have early on in the g

The Old West is indeed ancient by today’s standards, but let’s not forget that back then they also had civilizations that were old even to them. For example, vikings. Well if you want Arthur to uncover some ancient Skyrim like architecture, follow the curve at the beginning of the R in Roanoke Val

Are you enjoying your time in Red Dead Redemption 2 ? I know that I am. I’ve been chipping away at the game over the course of two weeks now, barely even playing the story. I know that I’m only about halfway through the story, if that, but that’s fine. This is a game that’s something of a miracle. Not only is it slow paced story-wise, but it’s made almost every player take their time with it. There are so many stranger missions, animals to hunt, fish to catch, gang hideouts to wipe out, collectibles, and more, it’s the closest that a game has ever come to making a real, living, breathing world. I don’t think that this game could ever have been made before this generation, and it’s nice to see a game that truly takes advantage of this generation, not just in its graphics, but in its sheer sc

This is another find that is perhaps just the start of another quest. If you head directly south of the I in Ambarino, you can find a house reminiscent of ones you can find in The Shire from The Lord of the Rings . Unfortunately, you can’t go inside. There is something else off about it though. Above the door is a turtle symbol, the same one the cult Mary’s brother tried to join. Is there a connection? Perhaps we’ll soon find

Come October, I know for a fact that Red Dead Redemption 2 will have me exploring the Great American West for dozens of hours on end. However, I’ll certainly make some time for a hand of cards or a game of Liar’s Dice when the opportunities present themselves.

Slightly south you will find a viking burial ground where you can obtain a helmet and hatchet. The helmet looks cool, but it doesn’t have any special attributes and the hatchet is just a throwing axe that is slightly alte

As the saying goes, “there’s plenty of fish in the sea.” The same can more or less be said of Red Dead Redemption 2 : there are plenty of horses in the Old West. You’ve got a lot of different options when it comes to who you choose to be your traveling companion, and whatever horse you choose, they’ll be sure to appreciate the gesture. The more you use the same horse, doing just about anything, the more your horse is going to trust you. And in the same vein, the more you use the same horse, the more you may grow to trust the ho

There are few companions that are going to accompany you for the entirety of Red Dead Redemption 2, but one that will be at your side for the majority of the journey is your horse. However, like any relationship worth having, you’re going to need to put in some effort. Your horse isn’t just going to be your buddy from the get-go; you are going to have to earn its trust. Having your horse on your good side will make Arthur Morgan’s journey much easier, tho
