    When I was a kid, this is what I imagined games in the future would look like. What's truly wonderful about RDR2 is that is is alive. It is dynamic from its story, to the game-play, to the world.

    Yeah it had bad launch but come on. This deserves way higher user score. This game is absolute masterpiece. Thankfully steam has better user score. By any means this better than console versions, even if just for 60fps.

    Horrible Launch with the rockstar launcher error for 3-4 days = Worst launch experience ever
    But.... Since I have been able to start the actual game, it has run FANTASTIC. No slowdowns, no crashes and it looks AMAZING. Way better looking than the console version.

    A wonderful game under the horrible Rockstar Launcher

    Rockstar Launcher = 1/10
    RDR2 the actual game = 9/10

    Some big youtuber claimed that to him "Last of Us 2" has best graphics of any game ever. I have to strongly disagree with that statement. RDR2 on PC is easily best looking video game ever made. All the weather effects, storm, rain, reflections look absolutely incredible. This is literally 2021 game that Rockstar released in 2019.

    Story and characters - 7/10. It's good but not great, you can find better stories. Also, this is probably the longest story I have played in any game ever. It just goes on and on and NEVER seems to end. New missions pop up on the map constantly. It's too long even, and the pacing is VERY slow. I feel that Rockstar has overdone it.

    Storytelling - 9/10. The game does a very good job to immerse you in the story and world.

    Graphics, world and gameplay mechanics - 9/10. It's a beautiful game. Some areas look and feel basically like real life. The map is HUGE and has a wide variety of landscapes. Incredibly detailed game in every aspect. World is very alive and NPCs act like actual human beings instead of being there just for decoration. Best open world game to this day. Only the next Rockstar release will be able to top it.

    Music, voice and sound design - 9/10. I'm not a big fan of the Western music genre, but it fits the game very well. I even managed to find few songs to add to my playlist. Voice acting is top notch.

    Now, there are few flaws that annoyed me a lot and made the game boring and tedious too often. These flaws alone stopped me from giving the game 9 or 10:

    - Basically EVERY mission begins with several minutes of riding/walking to your destination. During this time characters only talk with each other and nothing else happens. And these sections often happen MULTIPLE times during a single mission, which means plenty of time is being wasted on boring the s*** out of you instead of doing something fun. And what's worst, those trips are unskippable.

    - You can't run inside camps, most buildings and when the story doesn't want you to. This is super annoying and slows down the already slow game even more.

    - There is fast travel but fast travel checkpoints are placed very sparsely on the huge map, so you usually still have to ride few minutes to your destination even after you teleport to the nearest checkpoint. This is slightly helped by the fact that there are random events happening often during your trips and they can sometimes made the trip less boring.    … Expand

    I never usually even properly engage with the stories of games, preferring to just skip through the cutscenes and play for the shooting and action scenes, which are becoming ever so rare in video games, without the stress of being headshot through 6 walls in a multiplayer game, before being asked to dump a weeks wages on a loot box. I haven't touched the online portion of this gameI never usually even properly engage with the stories of games, preferring to just skip through the cutscenes and play for the shooting and action scenes, which are becoming ever so rare in video games, without the stress of being headshot through 6 walls in a multiplayer game, before being asked to dump a weeks wages on a loot box. I haven't touched the online portion of this game however, so cannot speak to it.

    I was therefore surprised when I found myself drawn to the cutscenes and actually enjoying the story, perhaps more than some of the shooting even. I even found myself relating to some of the difficulties faced by the Arthur.

    The open world is absolutely magnificent, and no journey through it feels the same, with random events occurring as you travel around. The vast amount of, and variety of, nature and people around the world, reacting to events as they happen, truly bring it to life in a way which I have never experienced in any other open world game, and perhaps any game altogether. Despite the map being smaller than many, including titles such as GTA 5, on horseback it feels so much bigger and more varied than the majority of games in a finite world.

    When I picked up the game at a discount, having heard of how well made it was and browsed a few YouTube clips, I was hesitant, it was a departure from the usual setting of video games I enjoy, and one which I did not enjoy in the past. I would therefore never have imagined the range of emotions which the game would make me feel, nor that I would actually have tears brought to my eyes at one point in the story, not for the story itself, but for the memories it evoked.

    This game has one of, if not the best, open worlds, and has by far the best storyline of any game that I have ever played. I can honestly say that it is the best game I have ever played.    … Expand

It's one of the most beautiful games I've ever seen, in terms of quality. It's incredibly realistic, more than most games out there. Like GTA V, Rockstar really stepped it up with the quality and the storytelling, compared to their previous games, with it even better in this game. They built such an intricate and fascinating life history to all the characters, and you find out as the story progresses. You find yourself almost building an emotional connection to the majority of the main characters by the end. And of course, they made the story perfect as a prequel to the first RDR, Blackwater and New Austin is very close to being identical to the first game, which makes it all the better. As I said before, it's just incredible the amount of detail that went into this game. In terms of Online... It's constantly improving as time goes on. It hasn't gone off the walls like GTA Online has, and you actually get money return from Online missions that you play, unlike GTA Online. As I said, it's continuing to get better and better, with new missions, and businesses, it's a similar idea to GTA Online's businesses (except the RDR Online businesses won't cost you a small fortune in shark cards or whatever.) Everything fits in perfectly for an outlaw out in the country of America, in 1899. (Just like GTA Online, RDR Online is set a month or so before the story starts.) Also, the amount of maturity among players on Online compared to GTA Online is staggering. There is much less griefing, and players are a hell of a lot more respectful than they are in GTA Online. I give this game a 10/10, it's a really good one. And give Online a chance as well, it'll just get better and better.… Expand

    After my disappointment with cyberpunk, I decided to write a few words about rdr2.

    RDR2 on my weak computer (gtx 1060) gives 60 fps with good graphics. The game is very interesting, has great physics, cool archery, beautiful animations, very well conveyed the era of the 19th century. All I can complain about is the little things, the game is unparalleled.

    You won't find a world so immersive and detailed as RDR2. If you let yourself get lost in this vast world, you're gonna find yourself surprised every day. Characters and their development are absolutely amazing, unparalleled - greatly contributed to by the stunning acting of the voice actors. You can feel their sadness, happiness, desperation. You are experiencing the world with them.

    The game with the best physics, history, characters, graphics and details of this generation

    The story of Arthur and how it is told should be studied in schools, in an authentic masterpiece of history and narrative. A story of redemption of the level of the first part.

    Each chapter of the game introduces you to their world, to the gang, to the end of the west and has an end-of-age background that they are not aware of.

    The game has been accused of being boring, slow, and old missions.

    The game is not boring. From the beginning it starts strong and you meet the villains, already in the first chapter. He takes his time to develop the story that is formed through disjointed missions that form an incredible whole. Not like other games that only go straight to the main thing.

    It is not slow, it is how such a man would move, with realistic physics. If you are used to games like dmc5, bayonetta, etc, it is strange, but it is as it should be in rdr.

    The missions are now more narrative, mimicking linear games but you actually have more options than in other open world games.

    In some missions you can make small decisions such as doing it day or night, the dialogues change depending on whether you do a mission before or another or what you do in it, you can decide if you or a partner attack, etc. So you actually have more decision-making power than other current games.

    The world is the most alive seen in a video game with its random events, i.a, physics, narrative, secondary missions, weather effects, it is the most next gen of this generation.

    And all these details are created, but the game does not point a finger at you like other games that want you to see what they have done for you to see. You can end the game and lose it because you are not at the right time, that makes it real, dynamic, alive, you are not the center of the game, you live in it like any other character.

    Again this saga makes me cry for a character, for a story and also gives us the opportunity to know how everything was just before the first game instead of telling it in a video as other games would. Here you play it, you enjoy it.

    The online may seem scarce compared to gta v but it has had dlc's even in the world situation in which we are.

    Other games with a multiplayer component like gt5 or uncharted had less content and less time of it and there are no complaints. This is not a one-year game, the dlc's will arrive and there is already more content than many online will have in their life    … Expand

    I love Red Dead Redemption 2. This game blew my mind in so many ways to the point I couldn't believe I paid the same amount for this game as a lot of other games. The experience here is nowhere to be found. The amount of contents, details and realistic mechanics are insane for the asking price, and I could not be more happy to have played this game.

    I'll start with a seeming contradiction to my score, Red Dead Redemption has the usual problem of a lot of AAA games - the gameplay is simple with a lot of fluff.
    If this was any other game, I couldn't rate it very highly, let alone a 9, but RDR2 isn't any other game.

    RDR2 has the best realized world in any game currently on the market, the levels of detail in every small part of the game is staggering.
    And even the mindblowing living world wouldn't impress me too much if the story, characters, dialog and voice acting weren't well written and intriguing.
    Just like the world, this is also on a whole new level for the medium. And not just for video games, if the game's story was turned into a tv series, this would be one of the best that television has to offer. The characters are morally gray and layered with their own beliefs, opinions, struggles, strengths and shortcomings.

    RDR2 is something special that we won't see again in quite some time, definitely a modern masterpiece.    … Expand

I recommend the people complaining get better jobs so they can afford to upgrade their mid-tier PCs with high-end components. Wouldn't hurt for Rockstar to include some "Ultra LOW" settings for these people so they stop crying.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must play if you care about singleplayer gaming at all. I played it first at PS4 then now a few years later on PC. I usually enjoy playing on PC much more, but with this game it was pretty even actually.

    A beautiful open world, fantastic array of characters, lovely textures, sounds and about as realistic a game can get today. The story is also pretty good, but towards the end everything becomes so negative, unlike any other game I've played, it just leaves a bad taste which is sad. It's interesting because I've always wondered why not have negative/bad endings in movies, but I realize now that it's just better if it's positive. I also need to comment on Arthur, perhaps the worst choice in gaming I can think of. Irritating, negative and sick old man with no sense of humor, I cannot understand how that choice came about as it would be good idea to actually like the main character as you play him for hours upon hours. He is simply depressing to be.

    Nonetheless it's no lower than 8/10 for an amazing experience as a cowboy outlaw.
    Btw, there was absolutely no bugs when I played it now, so it's pretty sad that over 1000 negative ratings here are simply because of the bugs in the start, which now have ceased to exist, making the average score pointless..    … Expand

    My biggest warning to anyone considering purchasing RDR2 on PC is that you need to have patience when you set it up. Take the time to go through each graphics option, compare your performance on Vulkan vs. DirectX 12, and tailor the game to your specs. Once you have the game tuned, there’s no better way to experience it than on PC.
