10 Video Games That Secretly Change Without You Noticing

10. Building The New World - Red Dead Redemption 2 (2018)

A lot has been said about the countless reasons why Red Dead Redemption 2 is an absolute masterpiece. Alongside its incredible narrative and immersive gameplay, Rockstar's version of turn-of-the-century America is also one of the most detailed video game worlds ever created.

Out of all the insane details that make this world feel alive, being able to see how construction projects alter the landscape is by far the most easily missed.

By taking a break from robbing trains and hunting animals, players can notice several buildings being built across the map. In Valentine, a group of workers can be seen turning what starts as a simple wooden frame into a bustling establishment by the epilogue. Likewise, if players donate money to help fund a shelter for homeless veterans in Saint Denis as Arthur, players won't just see the finished Memorial Hall when returning as John, but Arthur's name will also be visible on a plaque.

Other noteworthy changes that likely went unnoticed include the devastating effects of deforestation caused by a logging company alongside the eventual completion of an entire railway line.

There are no limits to how impressive this game is.
