Now that I’m done with Red Dead Redemption 2 after binging it for a solid week, I hear one question more than any other:“How long did it take you?”As some have already noted, it’s kind of a complicated question, but I’m going to do my best to answer it. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a massive game, a long title made even longer by the fact that fast travel barely exists and you will often spend a ton of time simply getting from location to location. The original Red Dead Redemption had something like a 10% completion rate, and is often cited as an example of a great game that people rarely finished when all was said and done. Without going into any story spoilers whatsoever, I will say that there is also an epilogue to Red Dead Redemption 2 that is not just “one final mission” the way you might expect, but an entirely separate, 6-7 hour arc. It is a shame that because of its sheer size, so many people won’t finish Red Dead Redemption 2, because while yes, it is fun along the way, sure, the game’s biggest payoffs come in its final acts, 45-50+ hours in.
