Broadly speaking, players know what they're getting into with Red Dead Redemption 2. It's a Wild West tale examining the dangerous and complicated lives of the Dutch van der Linde gang. Much like the original title, a great deal of realism regarding gameplay is given a major priority in the sequel. While most people love how immersive the game feels, some argue that too much realism came at the detriment of the gameplay, which felt tedious at times.
