    The best game I've played. No one is better than RDR2. I feel very sad for people who haven't played it.

    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.

    I Love the Story of RDR2, but what i liked even more about RDR2 was the World design and the verity of the Animals, People and Land itself. This is what every Western Movie was about. If you ever wanted to become a Cowboy or Bandit then this Game is for you

    I understand the low ratings but the game doesn't deserve that. The story mode is brilliant and well worth the money. Online mode needs some work as the content is sparse, even almost a year after the release. Hopefully Rockstar will continue adding more content to it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Рокстар сделали отличный игровой мир, да игра не может похвастаться обширными и интересными сайд квестами, но те, что есть в игре очень душевные и каждый раз вызывали улыбку на лице. Графика в этой игре, это просто что-то с чем-то, некстген в прямом смысле этого слова, очень интересно как будет выглядеть следующий проект рокстар на новом поколении консолей. Персонажи в этой игре прописаны на отлично Артур, Датч, Джон, каждый из банды имеет свою сложную историю и мотивацию. Сюжет по началу кажется не много затянутым, но уже на середине игры он начинает набирать обороты и начинается самое интересное, экшен за жкшеном подкреплённый отличной подачей и сюжетной подоплёкой. У игры безусловно есть минусы, геймплей, он очень медитативен, ты не будешь бегать как умалтшённый по лакциям, а вальяжно расхаживать по ним и наслаждаться каждой деталью, не всем это понравиться да и будет немного скучновато обычному пользователю, стрелять 50 часов в по сути одинаковых миссиях понравится не всем, но тут рокстар попытались разнообразить миссии, к примеру грабежи банков, стелсовое ограбление домов, путешествие на Кубу, где были чуть ли не самые лучшие миссии и непосредственно в конце игра расцветает в геймплейном плане и начинают появляться всё больше уникальных миссий. В конце эта игра подарила мне незабываемые эмоции, когда её проходил меня всё время тревожило чувство предстоящего конца и что ждёт в нём, в финале истории я рыдал, очень трогательная сцена, а особенно прощание с Джоном и последним желанием Артура "Живи, Джон, позаботься о своей семье, они тебя ждут". Лично для меня это шедевр на уровне с ведьмаком 3, такой же уровень проработки игры встретишь не часто, так что моя личная рекомендация, купите эту игру, пройдите её и вы не останетесь не довольны… Expand

    Marvelous storytelling of epic proportions. Insane worldbuilding and characterization done by Rockstar.
    My only criticism is that its poorly optimized, even months after the release of the pc version.

    The story is also very engaging. The fantastic voice acting that gives the characters true personality and depth unlike anything I have seen in any other game.

    Graphics are great, the lighting, clouds and weather effects makes for some truly magnificent scenery. I have used the photo mode a lot.

    I'm also very impressed by the wonderful music. It is not the typical western music cliche you might expect, but rather fresh new music with just that hint of western that makes it fit perfect to the game.

    It has been running smooth on my PC, no crashes or bugs.

    The controls are typical Rockstar. They work just fine for me.

    It may be that there are examples of games with better graphics, better gameplay, etc.. and people feel that this game does not deserve 10/10 because of this. But for me the total package is just so far ahead of anything else I have played. It is deeply enjoyable and the rating cannot be anything else than 10/10.    … Expand

    STORY
    RDR 2 reminds me a bit of TLOU because both games are almost entirely carried by story. The characters you see in this game is one of the best written characters ever in a video game. Never have I ever cried in a video game until this one. I have not seen anyone thinking this story was bad because it really isn't bad at all.

    VISUALS
    Now this is definitely the part of the game that also carries it. This is the most beautiful game I have ever seen with attention to detail 50x more than any other game ever even tried to do. Your horse's testicles grow bigger in hot temperature and vice versa, your horse's foot steps leaves different prints in different location, and a lot more insane details in this game that no other open world game has ever done.

    GAMEPLAY
    Now this is the part of the game that really ruins a lot of the parts for me. There are barely any fast travel points so 80% of your playtime is riding a horse. Mission designs are extremely restrictive that you can't do anything you want in an OPEN WORLD game. There are so many issues with this, like the honor system barely work, the cover system is broken, the shooting is meh, controlling Arthur Morgan is very laggy or unresponsive a lot of the times. As an open world game, this isn't that strong tbh.

    CONCLUSION
    I know I've been talking negatively about the game but the story is really something you need to behold. I recommend you buy this game but not full price. That's about it, bye    … Expand

    Interesting story. Good graphics. Good sound effects. Big world. The Romance Of The Wild West. But technical errors, terrible keyboard controls, and game mechanics restrict the freedom of criminal actions.

    I registered on MetaCritic just to warn you. Wait at least a few months. The PC version is so so very broken. It's not just that there's one single bug, there's layers of different bugs causing CTDs, awful performance, graphical features that don't do anything, and all kinds of graphics errors. You can roll the dice and hope you get lucky, but unless you're in a rush, just wait.

    This game tells a beatiful story of a cold blooded outlaw's redemption into a human being that can see beyond his own gains.

It has an amazing climax and a very sad story, though very satisfying at the same time. You NEED to watch and understand this story.

    Gameplay: 7.5/10 - The game gets a little repetitive with the horse riding, thankfully there are fast travel mechanics, otherwise the game becomes a chore, as the world is huge. The gunplay is average, movement a little sluggish but trying to stay as realistic as possible which is not a complaint, it's an artistic choice. I do wish the game had a little more of gameplay variation which is why I give it this score, Rockstar needs to up their gameplay innovation for their next games as they've kept it the exact same for what it has been like their past 4-5 big games (RDR1, RDR2, RD, GTAV, GTAIV).

    Graphics: 10/10 - No one in their right mind will complain about this game's graphics. It is absolutely stunning no matter where you look at it. Rockstar is still a master at world building like it always has been and hopefully will keep that record.

    Sound: 10/10 - The game sounds just like it looks. Beautiful, weapons are satisfying to shoot with the right punch to them, the reload sounds, the soundtrack is very fitting. The voice acting, dear god the voice acting, I have nothing but props for the voice actors.

    UI: 8/10 - The game sometimes didn't tell me stuff. Sometimes I found out about a mechanic by myself while messing around or watching a video of it, or somebody told me about it. Other than that, it was fine, it's not ugly and did not get in the way of the game. I never felt it was a chore navigating it during gameplay.

    PC Port: 8/10 - The game looks AND runs beautiful. I have a Ryzen 5 3600 paired with an RX 580 and the game runs at 60fps while on med-high settings, and considering the game looks amazing already, I can only think the game has been future proofed just like GTA 5 with the extended graphics list and options. My only complaint is that Rockstar Game Launcher sucks, they really need to improve this Launcher as it has caused many issues on launch date, and to this day it is wonky at times, rarely gets in the way of me enjoying the game, though.    … Expand

    Nice story, but could've been better. Frankly, not much after first installment of this franchise. Simple, but entertaining gameplay, wide variety of missions to do and enjoy. Not a "must have", but solid, nice game.

    Game is playable at the moment. I finished the story 4 times on PC and I never encountered any instability.
    Graphics is gorgeous, optimization is pretty good and I really like the story.
    On the other side multiplayer is as repetitive as multiplayer in GTA, therefore I find it boring.

    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.
