10 Big Reasons To Revisit Red Dead Redemption

4. Have You Gotten 100% Yet? Probably Not

The Strange Man. Say the name and watch the hairs stand up on the backs of gamers' necks. Who was he, and how did he seem to know everything about John Marston? Why don't bullets hurt him, and which fiery circle of hell did he crawl out of?

Everybody's got a theory, but whatever the case, it's sidequests like the Strange Man's that will have you loading up Red Dead Redemption five years after it's release. Whether it's rounding up livestock, slapping down cards in a packed saloon or simply playing the good Samaritan, Redemption's chock full of activities to partake in.

Rockstar have always had a talent for peppering their games with a wealth of side missions to keep players busy for months, and while GTA V offered a fairly amusing assortment of side missions - somehow, wasting away an afternoon swinging golf clubs or pretzeling through a one-man performance of the Kama Sutra while straddling a yoga mat isn't as appealing as rounding up bounties or going cougar-hunting (keep it in your pants, you).
