Just get the first game and give it a play through. You can pick it up cheap these days. It might even be on Gamepass at the moment.

Why don't you just play RDR1 and see for yourself?

About your question: It's an open world game. That's about it with similarities.

I only have a PS4 and didn't find any RDR remake in shops and in the PS Store. What is a Gamepass? Can I use it in Europe/The Netherlands?

Interesting to see that people enjoy RDR while not liking GTA games either. Apparently it has some significant differences. I will probably buy RDR2 at some point!

Yes,two different games but they have Rockstar's touch

"The game looks good but seems to share some gameplay mechanics from previous Rockstar games."

They are bringing back things that people loved it and improve it to match the quality of the game and its world and they are good at it

I say u should check them out. I don't like GTA 4 or 5 but loved RDR 1 and looking forward to RDR 2

I don't really like GTA much but love Red Dead! I say give it a go.

Simple answer would be yes.

Have you played the RDR? I would suggest doing that before playing RDR2.

You can play it on a PS3, 360, X1 or PS Now.

Its a story driven game. There is plenty of things to explore or do on the side, but you could just focus on the main story.

I wouldn't buy it if I were you. I've played most GTA games and RDR felt basically like a GTA with horses for the most part. And slightly better story. Emphasis on slightly.

Still, if you are even remotely interested in playing a Wild West game, you might get some enjoyment out of it. It's not like we've gotten a ton of those in the last few years.
