When you ask a fan of Red Dead Redemption 2 to name off some games like it, they’ll often respond with “there are no games like Red Dead Redemption 2.” Rockstar Games’ masterpiece has been referred to as a “generational game” by many in the community, and that remark still holds up even seven years after the game’s release date. Red Dead Redemption 2’s attention to detail, map design, gripping and emotional story, and realistic gameplay have captured gamers’ attention for the better part of a decade now, and few games come close to offering a similar experience.

Fortunately, we have come up with a dozen games like RDR2. These titles might offer in-depth character interactions and development, a detailed open world, complete freedom, quirky combat, or all of the above. At the very least, you can expect the games on the list to offer one distinct aspect of Red Dead 2 in their gameplay.
