    Melhor jogo da história, sem exagero. Todos os detalhes extremamente bem feitos, história impecável, personagens muito carismáticos e únicos. Pode ser que algum dia um jogo supere esse, e provavelmente vai ser o Red Dead Redemption 3.

It is not just a game in which you do things that lead to an end, But you get to live the life of the main character, see his evolution and most importantly the evolution of the ones around him, the environment and even the small towns cities evolve through time.

    It is really full of details: Letting you talk to people everywhere, animals scattered all around that feel almost alive (they see them eat, drink water, they're surviving too), decomposing bodies, relationships, some decisions and interactions. it has amazing graphics a really amazing soundtrack and music and as of 2023 the game is completely stable.

    The story telling is really good, and it is a really good story that didn't just focus on shooting people as a wild west cowboy, but you get to feel good, bad, really bad and worst because of the difficulties and hard things you face through the game.

    The only things I can say I didn't like that much: A would have like a better fast travel system and hunting was not really that necessary, the upgrades you can get from hunting are not really needed even if you want to do every single activity in the game.

    I really was not expecting that much from this game but it completely destroyed my expectations for the better. Totally recommended.    … Expand

    A rather boring prologue, but after the introductory chapters the game opens up. A wonderful plot, an interesting open world, well-developed characters and an amazing soundtrack.

    Rockstar's Magnus Opium. The game is an absolute masterpiece with the world feeling alive and believable, the characters being interesting and relatable. The Story is outstanding and well paced, side missions are implemented well and the views are jaw-dropping. Everything in this game just works, and works well. The amount of details here is something really amazing.

    A very solid 10/10

People praise this game in detail, but I didn't pay attention to most of them while playing (Animals were rotting, Workers were actually working, light reflections in the pupils of the characters changed depending on the environment, these are not important to me). As for the good aspects of the game. First of all, although it is not perfect for me, it is nice. The nature of the game is really nice, NPC behaviors are definitely ahead of the curve, Arthur is an excellent character (I wouldn't endure 85 hours if I played this story with John in RDR1), Gunfights are quite solid and on point, it is already quite nice in the game, but It doesn't exactly appeal to me.… Expand

    Like GTA SA captures the essence of that era in the United States, and RDR2 is the embodiment of the Wild West era itself. These games were created by people who truly understand what is 'game'

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an extraordinary gaming experience that excels in multiple aspects. One of its standout features is the impeccable attention to detail in its physics and little nuances.

One of its standout features is the impeccable attention to detail in its physics and little nuances. With each playthrough, you'll uncover new intricacies in the game world that truly enhance immersion. Whether it's the way snow realistically deforms under your horse's hooves or the delicate animations of wildlife, it's clear that Rockstar went above and beyond to create a lifelike environment.

    The game's story is nothing short of great, weaving a gripping narrative that keeps players engaged from start to finish. While it's true that some parts of the story can feel lengthy, these slower moments serve to build the tension and ultimately add to the grand climax. The character development and intricate relationships within the Van der Linde gang contribute to the emotional depth of the narrative, making it a truly memorable journey.

    Voice acting and visuals in Red Dead Redemption 2 are nothing short of breathtaking. The characters' voices are rich with emotion, and the performances truly bring them to life. The game's visuals are stunning, from the sprawling landscapes of the Wild West to the meticulous character models and animations. Every aspect of the game's presentation is a testament to the dedication of the development team.

    In summary, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece that excels in physics, attention to detail, storytelling, voice acting, and visuals. While it may have moments that test your patience, these only serve to heighten the overall experience. It's a game that continues to reveal its beauty and complexity with each playthrough, making it a must-play title for any gamer.    … Expand

    I've started playing this game six times, including when I bought it on PS5.
    Each time something prevented me from playing more than the end of the first act.

    And so the time came when I said to myself - either I need to put on my hat, check my revolvers and find out which way Arthur Morgan will go and where he will end up in the end, or never start the said game again.
    And as you can imagine, I wouldn't be writing this review if I chose the second option.
    What I mean is, if there are guys and girls who, like me, have not been hooked by the game from the first hours of the game, do not give up and throw Red Dead Redemption 2 into a dark corner, give the game a chance, and somewhere after a third of the passage, the game will fully thank you for it with unexpected plot twists, deeper disclosure of the main characters of the game, "chemistry" between the characters, and so on. In general, the game is big, looks and sounds good, is filled with various references, and you want to explore it.
    If you are a fan of the Wild West, then this will be a 10 out of 10 hit for you.
    That's all for now. Have a good day and enjoy your coffee.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is considered a masterpiece that stands out with its details, atmosphere, and deep story within the gaming world. However, alongside these remarkable features, there are also some gameplay-related issues that are noticeable.

    Positive Aspects:

    Visual Spectacle: The game's graphics and level of detail incredibly portray the western-themed world. The beauty of nature, the liveliness of towns, and character animations are truly impressive.

    Deep Story: The story of Red Dead Redemption 2 pulls players in with character developments and impactful storytelling. Arthur Morgan's dramatic journey and the downfall of the Van der Linde gang allow players to emotionally connect.

    Open World Exploration: Offering players freedom in a vast world, the game provides an immersive life simulation experience through activities like hunting and fishing.

    Negative Aspects:

    Gameplay Issues: The game's slow-paced gameplay might bother some players. Long journeys and the slowness of character animations can sometimes make the experience feel tedious.

    Artificial Intelligence Problems: Limited reactions and behavioral patterns of NPCs undermine the realism of the world. As a result, interactions can sometimes feel predictable and artificial.

    Mission Design: Certain missions can tire players due to unnecessary repetitions or long journeys. Additionally, the uneven difficulty level among missions can diminish players' motivation.

    In conclusion, Red Dead Redemption 2 offers a captivating experience with its visual spectacle, deep story, and open-world exploration. However, the gameplay's sluggishness, artificial intelligence issues, and certain mission design shortcomings can cast a shadow over the player's experience. Alongside these aspects, the game still continues to provide an unforgettable experience for those who wish to explore its magnificent world.    … Expand

    Pros:
    The characters are acted better than any other game ever, and the story is dynamic and gives the player so much freedom (not RPG levels but you know). The world feels so alive, and almost every NPC can be interacted with. Every tree and rock feels like it is there for a reason, and the cities and towns have incredible atmosphere and feel like they exist in real life. The game looks amazing as well (at launch it was really buggy and badly optimized but now it's one of the best optimized games on Steam. I have a laptop with an RTX 3050 in it and on medium to high settings, it gets 50-60fps in most places and drops to 40-50 in the larger towns and cities.)

    Cons:
    Controls feel like they are 10 years old (probably because they are. Its essentially the same as Red Dead 1). They feel very sluggish and unresponsive. Your horse will often stop and spin in a circle if you try to turn too much while sprinting on it. The gunplay is pretty good but not great and the game isn't very difficult, it just adds difficulty by throwing a bunch of enemies at you. Even so, I still die a lot more from the bad controls than from the enemies actually being that hard (and no, there are no difficulty options. You are stuck with what the game gives you).    … Expand

    That is the best game I've ever played. In fact, I just came here cause I felt like it was my duty to. Already put more than a hundred hours into the game, beaten the main history, but I feel that there's much more to be seen. And I don't even started the multiplayer game yet.

    I just don't know why there's no option to give an 11/10 for this game.

    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.
