It\u2019s my birthday today, and Rockstar has been kind enough to rerelease its 2010 western opus Red Dead Redemption on PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch (out tomorrow), as a slightly late birthday gift. It is indisputably a landmark game, less ambitious but also less self-indulgent than its 2018 sequel<\/a>. The first game is tauter, its crafted set-pieces more memorable. Everyone who\u2019s played it remembers that moment when you cross the border<\/a> into Mexico, and Jos\u00e9 Gonz\u00e1lez starts to play as the sun rises. Few games boast a single moment that compares to it.<\/p>\n

I remember getting inordinately attached to my horse, the vast desert expanses, the encroaching inevitability of its shock ending at John Marston\u2019s farmhouse, which I saw coming but still gasped at. I remember hating the feds with every fibre of my being, and unexpectedly hating some of Marston\u2019s former outlaw friends just as much. It was a game with no real winners \u2013 still unusual at the time \u2013 and took the same bleak view of humanity\u2019s essential moral depravity as the Grand Theft Auto series, but with fewer off-colour jokes and more moments of fleeting beauty. I have been looking forward to playing it again.<\/p>\n
