Sandbox games are popular these days to the degree that the style is now becoming an industry norm. Whether it's Grand Theft Auto V or the recently released The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, having an open world to explore is becoming more traditional with every new release. But there is one sandbox game that hasn't been discussed in a long time and that game is Red Dead Redemption. The Western game not only had beautiful environments, but was filled with tremendous gameplay elements. The game also included one of the most well crafted narratives the industry had seen at the time. Looking back, Red Dead Redemption was lightning in a bottle and had a uniqueness about it that still stands even five years after its launch.

From the large desolate landscapes filled with cacti to the small towns that included saloons, hotels and churches, Red Dead Redemption had a way of honing in every aspect of the early 1900s. Even the designs of the technology was spot on. Seeing the use of automobiles, machine guns and modern trains seemed to heightened every possible feature the game had to offer. It's why the game still holds up and looks beautiful to this day.
