History is everywhere in Red Dead Redemption 2, but one tragic little detail really hammers it home. Set mostly in 1899, as the Wild West era is beginning to come to an end, RDR2 tackles the truth and the myth of the American cowboy. It allows players to roam around a well-researched, detailed recreation of the American west, taking in lessons about the period and its influences on the modern day.
