As much as I love RPGs like Skyrim and The Witcher 3, there is nothing quite like a fantastic action-adventure game. Rather than using brain power on minutia like stat progression, character builds, or skill loadouts, the goal is to simply exist within the world, and the fun is entirely reliant on exploration, storytelling, and combat.

16 Years Later, Red Dead Redemption Still Feels Better Than Most Open-World Games

LB Beistad — Tue, 24 Mar 2026 13:00:15 GMT

Instead of another arcade shooter, Red Dead Redemption was an open-world game, taking Rockstar's successful formula with GTA and Bully and bringing it to the quickly ending Wild West era in 1911. Open-world games have been around for a long time, but the past decade has been filled with an influx of this approach to developing in-game worlds. Red Dead Redemption turns 16 this year, and many games still struggle to boast the same magic that this one still manages to have in spades. There really aren't many games like Red Dead Redemption around, and it's wild to see just how well it still holds up over a decade later.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a mainstay in gaming conversations, but as a 2018 release, many players may have played all they were going to play by now.
