After the hunting sessions, you can either skin the animals for trade or cook it. You can either employ stealthy skills to get the deer in your sight or just charge after it trying to run it over.

And when you try to steal items off other horses, be prepared to get your ass kicked. And an overloaded horse will suffer in performance while running. And, you can store your weapons as well as items on your horse but only up to a limit. You will often see your horse pooping (which was funny to watch). The more care you take, the stronger your horse bonds with you. feed it, pat it, brush it, clean it and even take care of its health during missions.

Arthur has to eat and take care of himself to survive and you as a player have to ensure he lives healthy.

And by the time my horse came, it was too late and Arthur has to go through medical care.Īnd mind, it's not only wolves but you will have to look out for wild bears and bounty hunters quenching for your blood. Sometimes, I was walking along the forest trails when suddenly I see horsemen running towards me, escaping from the wolves. In the process, I forgot to check my map and I was suddenly attacked by a pack of wild wolves and I couldn't save myself because all my weapons were stacked on my horse. For instance, I was going around the forest areas galloping on my horse and occasionally stopping in the way to enjoy the beautiful vistas the world has to offer at any time of the day. As I said, this world is alive and you will have to watch out for wild animals. And if you walk away with all that mud and blood on your face, people will pass comments about your cleanliness (after which you can shoo them away or just ignore).Īnd Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't only offer fights with humans. For example, when Arthur gets into a bar brawl (yes, like the 1890s, you can get into a bar brawl and the law enforcers will come into the mix to set your mind on track), the fights between the human characters look real and once it goes out on the streets, get ready to see your hero drenched in mud and blood.

You will be greeted with vistas involving mountains, lakes, rivers, forest trails, small towns, farms, fields, plains and a lot more. You start your journey from the snow-clad mountains of the west but as you make your way towards the countryside, the landscape changes and all of that feels real- so real that sometimes I was tricked into confusing this game for a movie. The game offers you a massive map that offers a beautiful mix of the 1890s American topology.
