When Red Dead Redemption It was released in May 2010 for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 and was an important advance for so-called open world games. The story starring the reformed outlaw John Marston, who had to hunt down his former bandmates in order to rescue his family, stood out for its well-crafted narrative, but also for offering a game environment that felt alive and reacted plausible way to the player’s interactions.
It’s strange that it took so long to publish the PC version of this game, even more so when the subsequent Red Dead Redemption 2 It did have its corresponding version for computers. Fourteen years and 23 million copies sold later, today Rockstar Games redeems itself after such a long wait, although, of course, it remains to be seen if the conversion will be up to par.
