Compared to the juggernaut of open world games, Grand Theft Auto, Red Dead Redemption takes the open world aspect and adds its own interesting spin to it. Which I think is better than most GTA games in my opinion. Giving us features like reloading missions from last checkpoints rather than respawning us at a hospital and driving to the start of the mission again. The deadeye system is also an interesting feature, but feels awkward to aim sometimes. Easily one of the best open world games to come out, and something you shouldn't miss out on.
