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.

Shelved next to Red Dead Redemption 2 for good reason: strong narrative focus, open world exploration and melee combat. Both also lean on exploration and discovery, and a third-person camera. The distance is in combat and visuals — its own ground is stealth mechanics.

Genre puts it alongside Red Dead Redemption 2, and so does dark, oppressive atmosphere, open world exploration and melee combat. The common ground extends to exploration and discovery, and multiplayer gameplay. Where the two diverge is combat and visuals: stealth mechanics.
