There are several memorable missions, including surviving an epic siege in the town of Valentine, storming Fort Mercer in iron armour inspired by the Kelly Gang, and robbing a Saint Denis bank and escaping through the streets in an 1898 version of GTA IV’s famous Heat-inspired Three Leaf Clover heist. Also, some of the missions require players to split up to achieve objectives and wouldn’t support a solo player, so the requirement is at least justified by the mission design and not entirely arbitrary. Even though I’d generally rather play alone than with strangers, matchmaking is quick and painless and I’ve never needed to wait long to be linked up with enough players to start a story mission. They can’t be played alone – they must be played in two- to four-player co-op – but you can either bring friends or let the matchmaking group you up with random players.

Red Dead Online’s story missions unfold much like those within Red Dead Redemption 2 they’re generally a series of rides, chases, and/or gunfights stitched together and bookended with well-produced cutscenes. Those of you who grew tired of this sort of stuff in the single-player are unlikely to be swayed here but I still really like the survival aspect and the atmosphere of authenticity it helps create. Health, stamina, and Dead Eye cores need to be maintained by eating the right food when necessary, horses need to be cared for, and guns need to be kept clean. Red Dead Online plays just like its solo-oriented stablemate, from the same style of deliberate, weighted movement to the same type of frantic gunfights rife with tumbling bodies, sailing hats, and squelching headshots. Not quite everything has made the jump from the single-player sandbox, but there’s certainly more than enough to keep me occupied every time I log in. Prefer skulking about in the woods shooting bears and badgers? There’s nothing stopping you (well, nothing except the bears themselves and, to a lesser extent, the badgers). Want to spend all your time at the poker table? Deal yourself in. Want to earn cash and XP by moseying around the countryside taking on jobs from the ‘Strangers’ dotted around the map as quest-giver NPCs? Go right ahead. Want to plough through the story missions? Get cracking.

The intro doesn’t last too long, though, and before you know it you’ll be loose in the open world, free to tackle Red Dead Online in any way you see fit. Helen or Rick or whoever you’ve cobbled together has been sentenced to hang for a murder they didn’t commit – the killing of the widow Jessica LeClerk’s husband – but is broken out and put to work by LeClerk and her associate to aid in the pursuit and punishment of the folks actually responsible. The intro that follows is a gently paced series of cutscenes and tasks which set the tone for a lot of what follows.
(Sorry about that, Helen Highwater.) On Xbox One, “Ravishing” Rick O’Shea is my boy.

On PS4 I’ve opted for a broad-shouldered, redheaded woman with a scarred face and a bad attitude, presumably from a lifetime of growing up with a pun for a name. There are plenty of options here to create a character with a face that would stop a clock, thanks largely to the dental selections (which range from corn-kernel yellow to missing entirely).
It’s not entirely unlike GTA Online’s character creator, though only a single character can be created and maintained at this stage.
An introductory sequence lets us create a character – man or woman – from scratch. Set just prior to the main story of Arthur and the Van der Linde Gang, Red Dead Online has its own tale to tell and casts us as patsies caught up in a grand, revenge-driven plot that has yet to fully unfold in the dozen-plus story missions that Rockstar has made available thus far. Red Dead Online unfolds across the same exquisite world as Red Dead Redemption 2, which is all unlocked from the outset (even the parts that are temporarily inaccessible for story reasons in single-player).
