Overview
Red Dead Redemption is a series of open world adventures with a wild west theme. The rich world offers many things to do along with a main story line. It's this living breathing world that attracts players, both in its diversity and beauty.
You can tackle the game in various directions, but one way or another you will be involved with shootouts, heists, hunting, horseback riding, interacting with non-player characters, and maintaining the character's honour rating through moral choices and deeds.
These games are from the same developer as Grand Theft Auto and offer a similar style of game. After the popular first game, Red Dead Redemption 2 was a prequel that received critical acclaim, selling over 31 million copies shipped.

Age Ratings
Content Rating
Red Dead Redemption 2 is rated PEGI 18 because it features graphic violence, motiveless killing of innocent characters, violence against vulnerable and defenceless characters., use of strong language and encouragement of gambling.This game contains frequent depictions of violence towards defenceless human characters. The player has the ability to lasso and tie up any character in the game. Once the character is restrained you can commit a number of violent acts, such as leaving them on the train tracks for an oncoming train to hit, dragging them behind your horse whilst they are still alive, or throwing them into a body of water to drown. This game also features depictions of apparently motiveless killing of multiple innocent human-like characters.
If used at close range blasts can lead to decapitation and dismemberment of various limbs. This also applies to some of the animal characters, such as the horses. There are also some “execution-style” moves which feature very strong graphic violence paired with strong blood and gore effects.
This game also contains frequent uses of sexual expletives and discriminatory language. The word “*!@?*” and its derivatives can be found throughout, and discriminatory slurs can be found in the dialogue. This game also contains moving images that encourage and teach the use of game of chance.
Users Interact: The game enables players to interact and communicate with each other, so may expose players to language usually associated with older rated games.
