RDR2 & Other Sequels Better Than Their Original Games
Red Dead Redemption 2 is widely regarded as one of the best sequels in gaming, far outdoing the original, but there are more titles whose sequels are superior to their predecessors. Red Dead Redemption was released in 2010 and was celebrated by players and critics alike. The follow-up to the hugely successful wild west RPG, RDR2, took eight long years to arrive. Still, it ended up being well worth the wait, surpassing expectations even with the considerable amount of hype surrounding its launch.
Not only did Red Dead Redemption 2 introduce hyper-realistic looting mechanics and visuals, but it also introduced a brand new protagonist in the form of Arthur Morgan, who replaced John Marston. Additionally, Rockstar Games crafted a compelling narrative centered around the new title character even though the ultimate fate of the original protagonist from RDR, John Marston, had been revealed long ago. Players are taken on a journey as Arthur struggles to adapt to a changing world, a powerful and ever-present theme in the world of Red Dead Redemption 2.
