Red Dead Redemption 2: Why You Should Start Over in 2026

It might sound like a strong statement, but after playing Red Dead Redemption 2 again and again this year, I’m convinced it holds up incredibly well. While most games start to feel stale after multiple playthroughs, RDR2 actually improves with each one. Its story and dialogue aren’t just better than most games—they rival those found in many movies, TV shows, and books. Some people argue the game is overrated, perhaps because of its popularity, but that doesn’t make sense. Red Dead Redemption 2 connects with a wide range of players, from newcomers to experienced gamers, because its powerful story overcomes any flaws in gameplay or structure. This is rare for big, story-focused games, which often rely on simpler narratives to appeal to everyone.
