All 234 animals in Red Dead Redemption 2 reviewed (part 1)

Red Dead Redemption 2

is a game drowning in details, with its attempt to capture a simulated vision of an American west that’s been gone for 120 years, down to every last shell casing, spittoon stain and sweat-crusted saddlebag. Probably my favourite thing about it all, however, is the obsessive, noachian fervour with which the natural world has been catalogued. There are some 234 animals in the game, with surprisingly few of them sharing the same models, and many interacting with each other in an impressive (if surface level) facsimiles of natural behaviour. 234! That’s nearly three times the number in Planet Zoo, which is a game entirely about animals. Not a bad job at all.

Anyway, I’m going to review all of them. Let’s go.
