The gameplay of the second part can be watched on my youtube channel down below:

Let's see where this one takes us now, we start our story from around Bonnie's farm.

Without hesitation I went straight to her door to continue the Story, let's see what Bonnie has for us today. After talking back and forth for a while Bonnie asks me to help her with taking the herd to the pasture. We grab our horses and move towards the herd where I need to move behind them and slowly push them to the right direction.

It's cool that developers thought about adding it and they made it cooler because you can control the direction of the herd by moving to the left or right side of it.

Once I "delivered" them to the right location went back to the farm to see what's next with Bonnie, unfortunately it wasn't the right time as the mission tells me I need to come back after 6:00 PM, so I checked around the farm for a while, bought some items from the store, some sort of maps, and also played a game where you throw the horse shoe but I failed miserably there and quit before ending the game.

I will retry this later on when I have more money to waste on learning the mechanics. Now back to Bonnie since it's past 6:00 PM, she invites me inside where I am meeting Drew MacFarlane for the first time, her father.

After some chit-chat the three of us go out on a ride to catch some horses, it's lasso time! We ride not far from the farm to a horse herd where I need to approach them and throw the lasso so I could catch one. After a few tries we have our first point, but this wasn't going to end here.

So I have to keep him in the lasso until Bonnie and her father throw theirs and after that you have to mount the horse and use A and D to balance myself while it goes crazy, until it stops, once done the horse is being taken back to the farm. We did this to two horses.

Back to the ranch with the second horse and Bonnie's father tells us that more horses were spotted around Armadillo, and I am going with Bonnie there to check, her father just mentioned that we need more horses. On the way there we meet two more friends that accompany us to Armadillo.

Once close to the herd, I am given the mission to drive the herd into the canyon so catching would be much easier. So I am going behind the herd and applying the same logic as I did with the cows. Moving left and right to steer them to the right path.

We get into the canyon and Bonnie exclaims that we got them all and out of nowhere one of the stallions throws down the man riding and cuts it to the canyon, Bonnie screams "is getting away", now I need to follow him and lasso.

I managed to catch up with it and lasso successfully but I was alone so I had to jump from my horse and get on the stallion fast before he takes off again. Did that, had to keep balance again, this time it was much harder.

In the end, for the help I assisted them with, I got to keep the stallion. Everyone went home, and since I was in the middle of nowhere I saw a W mission on the map and went to check it.

Once I got there, I saw a carriage and a man laying on the ground, went to check him up, his name was West Dickens, he was injured so I helped him get up in the carriage and up to the town we were. The only issue was that we had bandits after us and it was pretty hard handling the carriage and shooting behind, all this while West Dickens's health was declining.

It was a rough ride but we made it, once we were close to town the bandits stopped following and we were safe. After that I did some exploring, saw some colored areas on the map, I wend there and did some small investigation, it wasn't much, probably some clues for a future mission or some character interaction.

Now it was time to check on our old friend Marshal, who was preparing a ride with two other people, he was giving them rifles and asks for myself as he needs another gun. We are heading after a group of bandits that kept getting drunk and killing people.

Of again to a new adventure, on our traveling route we've gotten to some shady areas where the vultures were scattering the area because of the dead bodies, we were following the signs.

Here I found a new rifle, and because I stopped for a while to check it and see how it compares with my old one, my mission failed and I had to replay the riding to this place. It was at this point where I found that the game had multiple dialogs for the same scene, as we were heading on the road I heard the dialog between the characters was different from the first ride before failing the mission. Cool aspect that they've thought about this.

Now we got to the Ridgewood Farm which felt kind of empty, we checked the area and nothing, until we noticed the barn was sealed with some wood, we shoot them down and prepared to lay fire on the inside "bandits" but to our surprise we found this scene:

And a scared woman telling us that the bandits took everyone hostage inside the main farm building. So the fun begins.

We regrouped outside after, to check the casualties when one woman from the farm screams to the Marshal that he was supposed to protect them and he is only here for the money, he is not doing the work he was put up to do. Marshal puts a 50$ bounty on the leader of bandits, and we head south to find them.

At one point we meet with our old friend Bill that almost got us killed in the first part, he was up on the hill throwing threats left and right, after some heat up conversation we are up to a second fight. His friends start shooting, we take cover in a shed and prepare for the fight.

It was a tough fight, they've had two waves of bandits but we took them out, in the end one of our friends found one that was still alive and started mocking him.

Also Marshal mentioned this was Norman and he is going to help us find Bill, also he thanks me for the help and we part ways until we'll meet for another challenge.

It was a fun gameplay, the story still unfolds nicely, can't wait to get closer to Bill!

That was if for my second part of the Red Dead Redemption, more to come.

Until next part I am wishing you a great day, stay tuned for more!
