Same family as Red Dead Redemption 2: exploration and discovery, a sandbox world, and single-player focus. The common ground extends to a third-person camera. Where the two diverge is visuals and game mode: online features.

Released 6 years after Red Dead Redemption 2.

If Red Dead Redemption 2 worked for you because of strong narrative focus, open world exploration and melee combat, the same is here. To that it adds a third-person camera and single-player focus. They part company on setting and game mode: this one brings a sci-fi setting.

The genre is the same as Red Dead Redemption 2’s, and with it dark, oppressive atmosphere, melee combat and single-player focus. Both also lean on a third-person camera. The distance is in combat and visuals — its own ground is action RPG combat.

What brings it close to Red Dead Redemption 2 is open world exploration, melee combat and historical setting, and the two track each other on genre, world and progression. Both also lean on a third-person camera and single-player focus. The distance is in setting — its own ground is a medieval setting.

It predates Red Dead Redemption 2 by 8 years, with what that implies technically.
