Every dollar counts in the first three chapters. Should you want to upgrade the camp or any of Arthur’s belongings, you’ll actively need to find means of making money. Whether it be selling valuables, robbing folk, or just playing mini-games, money making is slow, but precious. You truly feel as though you’re building a wallet you can be proud
Red Dead Redemption excelled at bringing players into a vast, Western open-world; even eight years after its release, it’s still one of my favorite game worlds to this day. Yet, what I also adored about the game is the fact that it proved to be just as exceptional in offering players smaller details to enjoy as much the larger ones, and a big portion of that (to me) comes from its collection of Western minigames.
This is more on the subtle side of bad things coming from the Honor Systems, but players with a bad Honor Level will have a harder time convincing NPCs into doing things that favor them. Killed a person and want an NPC to stay hush-hush about it? Well, you might find it harder to convince them if you’re on the wrong side of the Honor spectrum. It’s really simple, they just don’t like
I typically avoid most forms of card games in a lot of open world games, but the way that Red Dead integrated these classic card games felt tried and true to its Western atmosphere and added so much more to my enjoyment of the world that Rockstar built. Heck; Red Dead Redemption 2 Fishing Guide Dead ‘s Poker game more or less ended up teaching me the basics of the game in real life, at the time that I was playing it.
I’m quite proud to say I discovered this next anomaly on my own. It was fairly early on in the game. I was heading back to camp from Valentine on the main road when I discovered a red trail leading up to a bridge. There you can start the serial destroyer’s quest, which is quite intense. He leaves clues using human bodies. If you figure out the clues you’ll get to see a pretty amazing discovery. I won’t spoil who it is though, but it’s worth
As much as I enjoyed Poker, the amusing wits of strength in Arm Wrestling, and the surprising layers of strategy in Liar’s Dice, no minigame in Red Dead Redemption brought out a sense of tension in me more than Five Finger Fillet, where players had to time their button presses to a series of rapid prompts by placing a knife between the spaces on their spread out fingers. Between the grisly image of seeing John’s hand spread out on a table stained with the blood of past Finger Fillet losers and the fast-paced nature of its gameplay, Five Finger Fillet felt like the perfect mix of a minigame that truly embodied the gritty, Western world of Red Dead , while also bringing a unique bit of gameplay that had me terrified to look at a knife the same way again.
Challenges in Red Dead Redemption II are utterly nightmarish. Not only are there 90 of them now, they require such accurate precision to pull off that you’ll actively need to go out of your way for hours on end to complete them. This is to say nothing of the Gambling challenges which require actual RNG to win in the later entr

More often than not, maintaining your gun is simple enough. So long as you have gun oil, you can maintain your gun anywhere on the overworld. Should you run out, however, and in a mission at that, you’ll basically be stuck firing a shoddy pistol or rifle until you can get back to a gunsmith. It makes the game far harder than it needs to be without really enhancing the experience on a gameplay le
