Red Dead (series)

Red Dead is a video game series developed and published by Rockstar Games, consisting of three standalone games, one expansion pack, and associated downloadable content.

The series is influenced by both westerns and the realities of the 19th and early 20th century American West. Due to the time period in which the games are set, the horse, stagecoach, and train are the primary methods of transportation.

Gameplay varies between the two games in the series. The first game, Red Dead Revolver, follows a purely linear story line with fixed, limited locations. The second game, Red Dead Redemption, provides the player with an open world setting and more options for side missions and random exploration, while the third game, Red Dead Redemption 2, builds upon mechanics introduced in its predecessor and introduces greater level of interaction with the game map and NPCs.
