As a prequel, Red Dead Redemption 2 is, by design, the kind of game you can enjoy without having much (or any) knowledge of what happens in the first game. But if you do have that knowledge, Red Dead 2 ensures that you will be rewarded for it in several ways, with similarities, connections, and callbacks both big and small that make it a much more rewarding and satisfying narrative experience.
There were several ways Red Dead Redemption 2 harkens back to Red Dead 1, some of them quite obvious, others much more subtle, and in this feature, we're going to talk about fourteen moments when the game displays interesting similarities with its predecessor.
This feature contains major spoilers for both Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2. If you don't want to spoilers for either of them, turn back now.
