The game's huge and atmospheric world likewise gives the establishment to a spic and span online multiplayer experience. America 1899, The end of the wild west era has started as lawmen chase down the final bandit posses. The individuals who won't surrender or capitulate are slaughtered.

Playing through Red Dead Redemption II, something starts to become clear: Rockstar Games has outgrown Grand Theft Auto Their western opus feels like both a massive leap forward and a logical culmination of the company’s trajectory so far. With many yet to finish the game and an online version ostensibly forthcoming it might be premature to be looking to the future, but it’s impossible to finish Red Dead Redemption II and not wonder at least a little just how it could be topped. So, considering how Rockstar has progressed so far, what might their next move look like?

Rockstar doesn’t make bad games; even titles they could have phoned in such as Vice City Stories are strong in their own right. If we can learn anything from the trajectory of the company, it’s that ambition will always push it to greater heights. Sometimes the push won’t be enough. But sometimes you end up with something as spectacular as Red Dead Redemption II. As long as Rockstar keeps that ambition alive, the chances of hitting those heights again remain high. I wouldn’t bet against them.
