Red Dead Redemption 2

It’s hard not to recognize a masterpiece, but it’s even harder to admit that sometimes a masterpiece can be a huge wasted opportunity.

Red Dead Redemption 2 represents one of the highest peaks that video games have ever reached:

• Graphics that are still unattainable by other software houses today, and that only GTA VI will be able to surpass in the coming years.
• One of the most touching and compelling stories, full of twists, action and psychological introspection. Weapons, environments, means of transportation and activities (hunting, deliveries…) to be carried out superior to GTA V.

With such assumptions in the story mode, one would expect even more from online.
Instead we find ourselves faced with an online world devoid of major activities.
Let’s be clear, I’m not saying that online is empty or unfun, quite the opposite: I’ve had some of the funniest moments of my life playing this game with my friends.

But precisely because of the enormous potential of the game, I was disappointed by the almost inexplicable absence of activities that were tested and appreciated on GTA V.
Just to throw around some ideas: the aforementioned robberies (of trains, banks and maybe even the unreachable ships that can be seen in the background), races with horses and carts.
