Red Dead Redemption 2: a fully alive game

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the last good game by rockstar, undoubtedly the title with the greatest ambition within the company of R. We are in the prequel to Red Dead Redemption from 2011 who introduced John Marston as the protagonist, we can’t forget a great character like Arthur MorganIn all my years as a player for me he is without a doubt the best character I have ever seen.

But I didn’t come here to tell you about Arthur, John or Dutch, but about amazing place where this adventure takes place how is this card in which in my opinion rockstar compresses all the most important biomes of American nature.

Red Dead Redemption 2 presents the biggest map ever created by Rockstar

With every step we take in any ecosystem of this game we will feel accompanied by nature. The huge amount of animal and plant species in this game that would be perfect for a dedicated article, but who knows, maybe i will bring that too.

In addition, there will be no road we take where we don’t meet a stranger that we are going to say hello and that we can even have a short conversation.

Beyond all that the important thing about this title in terms of decor, it is its landscapes. Without realizing it, take a ride with our horse around the map we will cross different biomes in which we will see generic species inside each one and even some animals that we had not seen until now.

Since in a single article I cannot condense the biomes of the last one Red Dead I will stay with those who impressed me the most:

Snow capped mountains

Yes, steep places that are hard to get to and hard to find. This region is our first step in this adventure, a white hell around us, ice blizzards … A perfect place to live, clearly if you are a ram or a bear, if you come as an adventurer You can run into bad luck with these individuals I met on my trip:

This may not be the most desirable area of all this world created by the big R but hides many more secrets than we can imagine, since although at the start of our adventure we can’t explore a lot the region, it’s always good to go back to the beginning of everything, And power dedicate a mixture of nostalgia and exploration to crossing this landscape looking for hidden cards, The unique encounters typical of this rocky area.

If you are looking to hunt bears, sheep or go out in the search for the legendary bison I would not hesitate for long to come to the Grizzlies district, in Ambarino.

Pantano

Without a doubt we associate this region of the south-east of the map with typical landscapes of Louisiana or Florida. Is full of annoying bugs, muddy areas and lots of very peculiar plants. Even if what characterizes this biome are the alligators, turtles and crayfish.

I have to mention that the only thing I happen to in this area of ​​the map is to observe this ecosystem and wear a new alligator shaped mat every now and then under my arm.

Beyond animals or other living things typical of the Lemoyne region we have the city of Saint Denis, “The capital” of the map, unique for items that we cannot buy there. In addition, in this state is only place where we can buy bait to catch these legendary fish.

As in the previous region, I mention that in this area you can find all species of turtles in the game, alligators, crayfish as well as unique fish of this area without forgetting the legendary large albino alligator and the legendary sturgeon.

desert

To end this article I prefer the desert, the least explored part of this vast map and that surely the veterans of the saga know it better than me, it is undoubtedly a unique and spectacular landscape which has more secrets than the naked eye seems to have.

Nail dry area with little population and ravaged by smallpox during the events of the game. Land of pumas, lizards and snakes in addition to other mammals.

If there is anything that will encourage us to come to New Austin once it is accessible, it is necessary to cross every square meter of desert looking for whatever we can, whatever abandoned mines, canyons or the new gangs that await us from the shadows.

Without a doubt, this area of ​​New Austin this is my pending topic in this game, From what I could see, it is the land of several legendary animals, including a cougar.

Almost negligible transitions between biomes

Rockstar did the transitions between biomes are not forced or completely artificial (ahem … Minecraft) but as we go along we see a transition so well created that we don’t realize what we’re leaving behind.

To give you an example, When we come down from the Grizzlies zone towards Valentine we can appreciate how andwe are starting to see that there are areas with very little snow, The animals around us have lost that arctic fur and the need for outfit John or Arthur with other clothes. Give way to dense forests with other types of species and a increased number of NPCs on the roads. They get own transitions that we can see perfectly in the real world
