    One of the best Westerns out there. If you like open-world games, play this and its successor. Enough said.

    The concept of this game is amazing. A former outlaw in the Wild West, choosing who you want to be. Incredible gameplay, story, and world as a whole. Best third party game of the generation.

    Rimasto come l'originale, senza remaster o remake. Zero spese massimo profitto.

    Still one of the greatest of its time, genuinely innovative and ever expansive.

    Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia.
    Poco más que añadir, lo único que no me ha gustado es que lo haya jugado tan tarde. Tardé como un año o dos desde su salida en jugarlo.

    Developed by Rockstar San Diego, as a follow up to the 2004 hit game Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. The story of former outlaw, John Marston, Red Dead Redemption takes players on a great adventureDeveloped by Rockstar San Diego, as a follow up to the 2004 hit game Red Dead Revolver, Red Dead Redemption is a Western epic, set at the turn of the 20th century when the lawless and chaotic badlands began to give way to the expanding reach of government and the spread of the Industrial Age. The story of former outlaw, John Marston, Red Dead Redemption takes players on a great adventure across the American frontier. Utilizing Rockstar's proprietary Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE), Red Dead Redemption features an open-world environment for players to explore, including frontier towns, rolling prairies teeming with wildlife, and perilous mountain passes - each packed with an endless flow of varied distractions. Along the way, players experience the heat of gunfights and battles, meet a host of unique characters, struggle against the harshness of one of the world’s last remaining wildernesses, and ultimately pick their own precarious path through an epic story about the death of the Wild West and the gunslingers that inhabited it.

    Easily the best get-murdered-by-a-cougar simulator out there! Also plenty of spoilers for RDR2, I guess.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an incredible game, and so a lot of people have come to play this game as a result. The problem is, Red Dead Redemption 2 is great for many different reasons, but the original Red Dead Redemption was only good for one. The incredible writing.

Red Dead Redemption es un juegazo a todos los niveles: la ambientación western está tan conseguida que consigue transportarte a esa época; la narrativa es muy buena, con personajes e historias secundarias realmente interesantes; los personajes son muy carismáticos y profundos; el mundo abierto tiene muchas cosas por hacer; la música es simplemente sublime e inmejorable; y los gráficos siguen manteniendo el tipo a día de hoy y no se siente anticuado (a pesar de algún que otro bajón de fps en PS3). Como puntos negativos: algunas misiones secundarias son de recadero (ir y volver) y quizá se nota algo anticuado en este apartado actualmente por las mecánicas algo simples y escasas. A pesar de ello, personalmente Red Dead Redemption me ha conseguido transmitir con su historia y su argumento una empatía hacía diversos personajes, algo que no consigue cualquier juego. Recomiendo esta obra maestra a cualquiera que quiera vivir una experiencia inolvidable. 9,5/10

    Story 10/10. At the very beginning it seems a little lackluster, but after some time you just cannot stop playing.

    Gameplay feels outdated, but killing hundrend of soulless dummy npcs like come kind of a superman is somewhat fun.

    Solid 9/10.

    Excellent Western climate. It's GTA with horses. Very nice and interesting plot. I like the fact that authors added as well chapters in Mexico

    In my 30 years of gaming, Red Dead Redemption is my favourite game to date. It’s a shame R* didn’t supersede this with RDR2. A true Masterpiece if you’re into Wild West movies and feel like taking the role of the lead character.

    O jogo se passa em 1911 durante o declínio do Velho Oeste e segue a história de John Marston, um antigo caçador de recompensas que tem sua esposa e filho tomados como reféns pelo governo para forçá-lo a trabalhar como seu caçador contratado. Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei.

    I found the story of a common man versus the government to be intriguing. The characters were convincing and the minigames were very fun. The gameplay is nothing special and exactly like GTA.

    Game fantástico, ambientação digna para fazer você se sentir no verdadeiro velho oeste americano, com um personagem super carismático, e com uma narrativa extremamente bem construída com personagens marcantes1

  1. The game perfectly captures the expansiveness of frontier life and the gritty gunplay of spaghetti westerns, rightfully earning its place alongside the great Western films and the best Rockstar games. [Issue#206, p.86]
  2. Rockstar's skill in creating a believable, functioning world with a distinct, coherent and consistent atmosphere is peerless. The broad-brush vision is masterful.
  3. Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece. This game is the perfect example of how a developer should work to create the best atmosphere and to represent a beautiful historical situation. The graphics, the gameplay elements and everything else is at top level. Buy Red Dead Redemption, now!
