With an opening weekend of $725 million and Take-Two Interactive, a video game holding company and Rockstar Games’ owner, announcing it as the single-biggest release in the history of entertainment, there was major excitement for the release of “Red Dead Redemption 2.” Rockstar Games’ Red Dead Redemption 2 lives up to the hype by being a near-perfect game that allows the player to explore an amazing world, experience an in-depth story and have access to endless customization. Initially, the first striking feature of this masterpiece is the incredible visuals. Even on a console, the graphics for this game are above anything I have seen before, and the attention to detail with small features, like hair, snow and leaves, were done with the utmost care.
