Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare

Talked about it already in the red dead redemption review. A really fun DLC that is honestly one of the best examples of DLC I can think of. Might honestly be the best and most creative next to Witcher 3 and bloodorne.

Has such a different yet similar tone to the main game and is just so fun all the way through.

It's no secret that the original Red Dead Redemption was an amazing game. And what does every amazing game need? Zombies! So does Undead Nightmare live up to it's original or is it truly a Nightmare?

The year is 1914 and John Marston is trying to get his life back in order after having to kill his former friends. Just when he thinks everything will work out a zombie plague sweeps over the Western frontier. After his wife and son become infected John ties them up and heads out to find a cure.

One of the best things about Undead Nightmare is how it's so similar yet so different from the original Red Dead Redemption. The zombies are very different from your standard outlaws. For one almost all of them fight hand to hand which makes cover less important than finding higher ground. They also need to be taken down with shots to the head as they take a lot of bullets to kill and ammo is limited. You'll come into towns from the original game overrun by zombies that you'll have to kill if you want information, ammo, a place to sleep, and fast travel from as you can no longer fast travel from camps.

The game looks great. Everything about the games presentation from the voice acting, sound track, landscapes, and the disgusting sound of a zombies head exploding perfectly immerse you in the game.

If there is one downside to the game is that there's so little variety. Sure there are different breeds of zombies and new horses but if you play one hour of Undead Nightmare, you've played all of it. But this is a small grievance when what's here is so well done.

I loved the Red dead games and I just finished playing undead nightmare it's amazing a great expansion to the series it's takes all of the original characters from the first game and puts them into the zombies apocalypse it's the same open world as the first game but with zombies everywhere and you get to see what characters from the first game survived the zombie apocalypse! A great fun DLC to play.

Red Dead Redemption: Undead Nightmare is a full-fledged installment of the Red Dead series, offering amazing content. The player once again has the opportunity to play the role of John Marston, but this time in slightly more unexpected circumstances - John is looking for a cure for the ongoing zombie plague.

The plot is funny, John encounters many funny situations and characters during his search. The plot is also interesting, but individual tasks may seem a bit too repetitive - most of the tasks are based on repeated sequences of defeating subsequent infected.

The gameplay itself is good, just like in Red Dead Redemption, but some players may find subsequent similar tasks simply boring. Exploring the world again can be an interesting experience, but for players who haven't played Red Dead Redemption, the world may seem a bit empty.

Rockstar has created something that, despite its flaws, such as too repetitive gameplay or a slightly empty world, will be remembered for a long time and should appeal to many players due to its uniqueness and amazing atmosphere.

Red Dead Redemption is a milestone for open world videogames and was the first ever with a western setting. But Rockstar Games decided to go one step further with their DLC Undead Nightmare, which turns the game into a zombie-apocalypse-western.

Rockstar's story and mission design are excellent as always. Their games' biggest strength is the satirisation of the United States of America and it works here again. Their developers' creativity has no limits, the player profits immensely from that.

This time there are bigfoots, burning horses and an unicorn.

The only aspect you may criticise is, that it is too short. There are only 10 story missions and some of them are pretty easy and a bit boring. So that's why the main game is superior to this dlc.

However both of them are recommended to play. These are historical pieces of art you can learn from, and most importantly, that will give you a lot of fun! Before watching a zombie movie, just play the best one available!
