I very recently finished playing Red Dead Redemption 2, and I loved it. There are so many aspects of the game that deserve a thorough breaking down of their own. But my absolute favourite part of the game has to be just wandering about on my horse. While there are aspects of the game that I thought were a little overwhelming, there is no denying that the world of Arthur Morgan has been painstakingly crafted. And in no place is this more apparent that when you're travelling from one camp to village to town. It might be the most essential part of the game. Without spending a good chunk of time simply exploring the world, it simply wouldn't feel as immersive. You'd be missing out on hunting animals, doing important side quests or simply improving Arthur's existing abilities – all of which contribute to making the game feel more alive. More importantly, wandering about on your horse provides a moment of calm in a world that is ravaged by crime, vengeance, incurable diseases, and all sorts of scary things.
