What Red Dead Redemption 2 is

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an adventure game developed by Rockstar Games and released in 2018. It is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Google Stadia and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on RAGE.

The premise, in the publisher's words

America, 1899. The end of the wild west era has begun as lawmen hunt down the last remaining outlaw gangs. Those who will not surrender or succumb are killed. After a robbery goes badly wrong in the western town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang are forced to flee. With federal agents and the best bounty hunters in the nation massing on their heels, the gang must rob, steal and fight their way across the rugged heartland of America in order to survive. As deepening internal divisions threaten to tear the gang apart, Arthur must make a choice between his own ideals and loyalty to the gang who raised him.

How it plays

It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are action, drama and open world. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component. Available modes: Co-operative, Multiplayer and Single player. There are 51 achievements to unlock.

How it was received

Red Dead Redemption 2 holds a critic score of 94 out of 100. That places it above 98% of the 7,525 rated adventure games in our database, which average 72. Games released in 2018 averaged 69, so it scored 25 points above the year average. Player ratings track closely with critics at 94, across 3,903 votes.

How long it takes, and what that costs

The main story runs about 88.4 hrs. Completing everything takes closer to 208.3 hrs, roughly 2.4 times the length of the critical path. At its current cheapest price of $14.99, that works out to about $0.17 per hour of the main story, or $0.07 per hour if you finish everything.

What you need to run it

The minimum specification calls for Intel® Core™ i5-2500K / AMD FX-6300, 8 GB RAM and Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 2GB / AMD Radeon R9 280 3GB. An 8GB memory requirement is modest by current standards; most machines sold in the last five years clear it. It also needs around 150GB of free storage, which is a real consideration on a 512GB drive. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
