10 Best Games Like Red Dead Redemption 2

The Witcher 3 matches RDR2's ambition in almost every way — a massive living world, exceptional writing, and side quests that are better than most games' main stories. Geralt is one of gaming's greatest protagonists and the world of the Continent is as richly realized as the American frontier.

Ghost of Tsushima captures the same cinematic beauty and emotional weight as RDR2 in a different setting — feudal Japan under Mongol invasion. The story of Jin Sakai's transformation is deeply compelling, the world is breathtaking, and the combat is fluid and satisfying.

The Last of Us is one of the most emotionally powerful games ever made. Like RDR2, it tells a deeply human story about a gruff, weathered man and his relationship with a younger companion navigating a brutal world. The storytelling, character work, and atmosphere are among the best in any medium.

Cyberpunk 2077 matches RDR2's density and ambition in a completely different setting. Night City is one of the most detailed and atmospheric game worlds ever created, and the story — while different in tone — carries the same themes of mortality, identity, and finding meaning in a world that doesn't care about you.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance II shares RDR2's commitment to historical authenticity and grounded storytelling. Set in medieval Bohemia, it features a massive open world, deep RPG systems, and the same sense that the world existed before you arrived and will continue after you leave.

Assassin's Creed Origins revitalized the franchise with a stunning recreation of ancient Egypt, a genuinely compelling story, and an open world that rewards exploration. The attention to historical detail and the richness of the world feel right at home for RDR2 fans.

Horizon Zero Dawn features one of gaming's most intriguing open worlds — a lush post-apocalyptic Earth overrun by mechanical creatures. The story is excellent, Aloy is a compelling protagonist, and the sense of exploring a world with deep mysteries to uncover mirrors what makes RDR2's world so captivating.

Baldur's Gate 3 matches RDR2's ambition in storytelling and world-building. Every character feels real, every choice matters, and the world is packed with stories waiting to be discovered. It's a different genre but the same level of craft and attention to detail that defines Rockstar's masterpiece.

Death Stranding is a slow, meditative open world game about traversing a broken America and reconnecting its isolated communities. Like RDR2, it rewards patience and attention to the world around you, and its emotional story about connection and loss is deeply moving.

Disco Elysium is one of the most critically acclaimed RPGs ever made — a brilliantly written detective story set in a decaying city full of unforgettable characters. Like RDR2, it tells a deeply human story about failure, redemption, and finding meaning in a world that has moved on without you.
