9 Reasons Red Dead Redemption 2 Is Already Better Than GTA 5

8. WAY More Map Variety

Go on, describe three identifiable parts of GTA V's map. There's the topmost desert area, the main city and... that's where things get tricky.

Now yes, I'm being reductive (Mount Chiliad deserves a mention), but Red Dead is already displaying a huge amount of variety across its available footage. We've got the tall trees/forest area that spreads across various mountainsides, the more affluent city areas of Blackwater and its other modernised townships, farmlands, alongside the plains connecting everything.

From top to bottom you should be able to tell exactly where you are on the entire map just by taking in your surroundings - something that unless you memorised specific streets, was impossible in GTA V.
