Red Dead Redemption
Rockstar Games’ alternative take on the open world genre was a huge success back in 2010. Putting us in the shoes of John Marston in the American West made us feel like we could live out those childhood fantasies of being a real life cowboy. Red Dead Redemption put us in a fully realized world with sprawling desert trails and bustling towns with tons of distractions from the main storyline. Wrangling wild horses didn’t feel like a chore and taking on the role of a bounty hunter and collecting your reward was incredibly satisfying. Heck, even just playing the numerous mini-games such as Five Finger Fillet were more than compelling enough for us to whittle away hours.
We’d love to see Rockstar go back to the American West and take on another chapter of Marston’s life or maybe even follow the story of someone completely new. Bringing the Wild West onto a scale even larger than that of Grand Theft Auto V, filling it with more quests, activities, and unforgettable characters sounds like the recipe for another smash hit, and one which we’re desperate for Rockstar to take on.
