Red Dead Redemption is a series that has two of the greatest video games ever made that are set in the Wild West. The first game puts John Marston front and center, where he needs to hunt down members of his old gang to safeguard his family. Meanwhile, Red Dead Redemption 2 serves as a prequel that fleshes out the history of the Van der Linde gang, with Arthur Morgan's story being a tearjerker in many ways.
