But Arthur is never really alone, with a steady home at the gang's various camps. John Marston was mostly alone in his adventures in 2010’s Red Dead Redemption, moving from place-to-place to hunt down the former members of the Van der Linde Gang. What really works in Red Dead Redemption 2 is the supporting cast. Arthur's most intriguing conflicts don't come until later in the campaign before that, he's the hammer or scalpel wielded by everyone else. He's gruff, but loyal to a fault, even to members of the gang who are better off dead. I'm not sure Arthur himself is the most interesting of characters. But even at his best, Arthur is willing to kill to protect his people and not above a little larceny to get by. There's an Honor system in Red Dead Redemption 2, where you gain Honor for good or altruistic deeds, and lose Honor for committing crimes and needlessly murdering people. He's not even a good one if I'm being honest. Dutch is the man with the vision, his partner Hosea Matthews is an aging con man, and Arthur Morgan is the muscle.Īrthur Morgan isn't a great man. (He's kind of a whiny dick?) Instead, you don the cowboy hat of Arthur Morgan, the right hand man of gang leader Dutch Van der Linde. You don't play John Marston, though he and his family do factor heavily in the game's overall plot. It's the story of how everything fell apart. Civilization and the law is coming, but the gang's all here, shootin', robbin', and livin'. Red Dead Redemption 2 gives us Marston's former crew, the Van der Linde Gang, during the good old days. Redemption was the story of cowboys and frontiersman in a world that had embraced civilization. While the first Redemption detailed the later life of former outlaw John Marston, the sequel jumps back in time. Western games are pretty rare already a great one was something to be celebrated.Įight years later, Rockstar Games is taking a second shot with Red Dead Redemption 2. It was an excellent tale of one man trying to get back to his family in a world that no longer needs him, married to one of the most well-crafted open-world environments. Grand Theft Auto might be the cash cow, the game that put Rockstar on the map, but Red Dead Redemption was the masterpiece.
For some, Red Dead Redemption is hailed as the best title Rockstar Games has ever developed.
