    Honestly it is a bit sad seeing other players giving it 0 just because of wrong expectations. I think it is a bit disrespectful to the very had work of Rockstar games and the amazing results they produced. Even if the game is not your type, for me personally giving it 0 means 0 appreciation for art (many kinds of art in this game). Objectively, it can't be true that it hasn't a single good thing.

    With that said:

    It is a gorgeous game, a masterpiece. By far the most beautiful open world I have seen in a game. It has deep mechanics consistently throughout the world. Expect to do long horse rides (some find this boring) through the map and encounter unexpected events as you go. Explore surprisingly beautiful landscapes as you travel. Get to learn the characters of your gang and not only theirs. Listen and participate in great stories while you are on the run from the law. In this game it is up to you how much action it has. After all it is an RPG. You decide which role to play.

    To give you an example, one of may favourite things in the game is the memory that the NPCs have. You encounter someone in the wilderness e.g. you save the person from a bad situation and after many hours of playing you visit again the town near this incident. Chances are that you will meet this person and if you listen carefully he will call you and remember you being grateful for the help you gave. This feeling is amazing and makes the world feel so real an immersive.
    Since the game gives you so many things to do, there are a lot of different controls to remember. This can and probably will be a bit overwhelming and you will need a day to get used to. Given the many options though, in my opinion the have done a good job with the controls.

    Enjoy the ride!    … Expand

    One of the most meticulously crafted games ever made. The attention to detail is astounding and unlike in any video game to date. While there is a slow intro, the game picks up and its your world. Do what you want-- the game is just insanity. I have had an absolute blast with already 20 hours in. This game is a must have if you enjoy a good story, fun game play, and any of the rock star games.

    What you get out of RDR2 depends a lot on what you're expectations are going in. If you're like me, having played and loved the first game extensively, this prequel game improves upon that in almost every imaginable way. Largely this is due to the time, resources, and talent that R* had in development.

If you're like me, having played and loved the first game extensively, this prequel game improves upon that in almost every imaginable way. Largely this is due to the time, resources, and talent that R* had in development. If you never played RDR1 but have hundreds of hours in GTA V, you might see some aspects of the gameplay here as comparatively negative.

    RDR2 was designed to be a slow burn game. I've been reading that statement a lot before and since first playing but it really is true. The authenticity to the era is unwavering. Travel by horse is often required and is often very long. There is no radio to listen to along the way. Even the fastest horses still feel slow compared to most vehicles in GTA V. But that is the point. The game wants you to savor the moment, breath things in and perhaps contemplate a little more than you would in other games. Even on foot, exploring the world is deliberately paced. I would go so far as to call the controls sluggish at points. Arthur moves with a certain weightiness in the world that makes things feel very grounded, almost a little too much for a videogame. There are specific and realistic animations for just about every single action Arthur does, from grabbing a can of coffee off a shelf, to roasting meat over a fire, to looting bodies, to cocking his revolver before each shot. There's no way to skip these things, no real shortcuts to watching his actions play out. At times things can seem like a slog, but that is commitment to the feel R* was going for.

    For some perspective, I'm still in the 2nd chapter and have done several side missions and random encounters. I've probably got 15 hours with the game and even that still feels like scratching the surface. I know there are many things I've yet to encounter based on all the hype and previews leading up to release, but I know there are many unknown features also. That is exciting.

    Obviously the game is stunning looking. I'm just playing on my regular PS4 on a Panasonic plasma from 2013, but it still blows me away. I would love to play on upgraded gear, but honestly that won't affect most people's enjoyment level with the game as the core experience is the same across all platforms. The audio is very dynamic and impactful. Voice acting is superb.

    The story is grounded and exciting so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out. Til I finish it I can't say too much about it really, other than the cast of characters is top notch.

    The menu system is a bit convoluted, but I've come to the conclusion that no modern game is going to have an excellent menu system that can manage everything flawlessly. It works, could be better though. The map is really a sore spot for me. It's slow and the icons are too small and almost all look the same. You have to zoom way in or out and it's cumbersome at best. Using the map on the companion app on my tablet has been a big help in that regard. It's pretty cool because it updates in real time based on the actual game map and you can set waypoints more quickly. I recommend using it just for that if nothing else.

    Gunplay and other activities are solid and there are many options for tweaking how easy or challenging you want the aiming, HUD and various other gameplay aspects to be. The physics are sometimes hilarious, but most of the time extremely realistic, especially when you upgrade your horse bonding and can start pulling off the GTA equivalent of drifting and handbrake maneuvers.

    It's very easy to get overwhelmed in a game of this size and scope. Sometimes I have to remind myself of what I was originally trying to accomplish, before I got sidetracked by any number of sights and sounds along my route or an even greater number of RPG style mechanics. Many things can be outright ignored, but more often than not it feels counter intuitive to do that. That is a credit to the world R* has created. RDR2 begs you to explore just a little longer and a little farther each time you jump back in.

    No game of this scope is ever going to be ''perfect'' and objectively there are some issues here, but taken as a whole this is still a landmark game in my opinion and will be a front runner along w/ God of War for 2018's GOTY.    … Expand

    This game looks great, a little less then i thought it would being in 4k and having HDR content, but great non the less.

    Character movement is a bit clunky, traveling takes forEVER! (The train is your friend!!!!)

    But overall so far, i LOVE the feel of the game, i love the gameplay in general. The story is kind of all over the place so far, not sure exactly what is happening, but im sure there will be a big pay off in the end.

    My last point, is to anyone who put in a review day one... either positive or negative, they are HIGH... They can not realistically put a review as that would not have been nearly enough content to justify it. This game evolves at a slower rate of gaining new abilities and activities, and that just wouldnt have been enough time. I dont even feel my review is fair to an extent hence the reason for the 9 when i damn sure thing it will end up a SOLID 10 in the end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful world that is alive with animals and npcs that offer the player opportunities to play the game as they wish. A few of the controls are clunky - sometimes I'll tackle a close pedestrian instead of hopping on my horse as I intended - but once you get use to them, the freedom of choice offered to the player transcends most other open world games.

    The main plot isn't a witcher 3 masterpiece, but it fits the game perfectly and allows you to play as you wish without feeling like your breaking the overarching narrative, but rather you feel like you're enhancing it.

    The consequences, however, don't feel as rewarding. If you play an evil character, you'll see a few benefits - some people will run in fear rather than fight you and you might have an easier time robbing - but it's easy to pay off bounties and it's as if murdering half a town is fine as long as you pay. Playing a good character is a bit better, but not by much.

    Overall, I think just the exploration of the world is fun enough, with the story and the character paths just being icing on the cake.    … Expand

The option from choosing between first person and third person view adds great element to the quality of gaming and also strategic advantages from switching between the two while playing. Any casual or hardcore gamer will appreciate the design and creativity of being a rebel cowboy during the end of the old west and seeing your character develop and building relationships with his gang as you progress through the whole game. The freedom of decisions and moving away from the main story is the most intriguing element of the title. Having the oppurtunity to roam, rob, hunt, playing poker etc allows any gamer to have endless hours of gameplay while not worrying about completing the story in order to receive that satisfaction of accomplishment. The game does allow new users to be introduce into the red dead redemption world without feeling empty or confused if you did not have the oppurtunity to play the first title. This allows new gamers unfamilar with the franchise to start the game play as if he or she needs to purchase the first title to feel complete while playing the game.

    -Great voice acting
    -Great Gameplay
    -An extreme amount of depth
    -Great twists in the story (the journey is great)
    -Extremely good main character development

    Cons:
    - Can't run in camp and some other places. The game cherry picks what is wants to be realistic about, and this is one of them. Except it isn't to the benefit of the player or to anybody. Maybe they did it to try and extend the average players playtime.

    - Delayed shooting. With some guns, you will find that you have to first press the fire button to pull back the hammer, and then press the fire button again to fire. But a lot of times I would press the fire button to pull back the hammer so I could line up a shot, only to have it fire for me afterwords, which resulted in me dying multiple times.

    -Unlikable characters, at least at the beginning. Compared to the first Red Dead Redemption, these characters are a lot more cold-blooded. They will kill innocent people for the stupidest reasons. They then seem to try and redeem them by bringing in social issues. Great, so our main character isn't a racist, that cool, but I fail to see how that compares to mass murder. It just doesn't make sense that the whole world is bigoted except for our character. At least in the first red dead redemption, Marston killed because he wanted to get back to his family, in this game it really just comes down to greed though.

    Predictable ending- This isn't to say that the ending was bad. All I can say is that it could have easily been better. When I beat the game, I was angry, because I didn't think Rockstar would be so predictable. If you have played the first game and have a prediction about how this game is going to end, you are probably correct. Even though the ending was predictable, they could have at least made it meaningful (like the first rdr), they could have at least made it satisfying. All it really feels like though is a kick in the nuts.

    Camp Upgrades are pointless- sure fast travel is cool, but raising the happiness of people didn't really have a benefit, i never found myself needing ammo off my cart, or medicine, or even food. The camp system in this game is just something to motivate you to earn money, and then spend it.    … Expand

    There is so much to do! Hunting, challenges, robbery, bounty hunting, treasure hunting and of course, the incredible story!

    I see many bad reviews complaining about clunky controls and spamming X to run, yet in the settings you can change to the standard L3 FPS experience which I love! The controls are also pretty much GTA, moderated to the western open world!

    The world is insanely beautiful and really has a soul and story behind almost everything! I personally can not put this game down!

    Complaints about frame drops don’t occur with my game ever and the aim assist is completely customisable as many people complain about that! The deadeye feature is awesome and really fun and smooth!

    The slow style of the game is historically accurate and relaxing which I love, yet you can also go on a high speed train robbery and shoot up half a town!

    Sure the bounty system can get a tad annoying but unless you have just started the game and are super broke it is simple to just pay it off!

    Horses are incredible and when I lost my horse and couldn’t get it back I was devastated, which proves how interactive this game is! There are many species of horse with different speeds, styles, attributes and builds. ( You can also name them which I love!)

    It is impossible to get bored in this game as I get lost searching for some 200 species of animal, almost 40 species of fish, and almost 100 guns and weapons with constant Easter eggs and tiny side missions to distract you on your horse journeys which can get repetitive, but fast travel is easy to acquire early on and trains cost $2 or $3 but can get you anywhere!

    The map is so diverse with big bustling cities, smaller community-based town and farms and homesteads scattered around! Deserts, swamplands, urban areas, snowy mountains and beautiful animal-filled plains cover the map which makes it hard to get bored of the map.

    Rockstar has done it again and anyone giving negative reviews are either PC players just jealous of this amazing game, want the game for the wrong reasons or have played only 1-2 hours of the slow-paced yet fun and informative prologue!

    If you like an interactive and diverse open-world, incredible stories and just want a new game that isn’t a battle Royale, this is definitely the game to have!    … Expand

The game is slow at first but mid chapter 2 it gets entertaining.The graphics and faces are amazing, and the fist combat and gun combat are very good as well.

RDR2 on the other hand completely breaks the mould that open world games have been set in for a long time. The way they blend cinematic style moments and game play is amazing . The way the music drifts in and out matching the things you are doing in the world really enhances the experience. The excitement of old world gun fights and surviving of the land really makes this game a standout in this generation.
    As this is a Rockstar game the controls and movement leans closer to realism over twitch accuracy and when I first experienced this movement in GTA 4 and Max Payne 3 I found it off putting, but as I adapted to it (as intelligent people are able to do), I have found it to be incredibly intuitive and gives the overall game play a level of immersion and satisfaction that you dont find often in control schemes. Riding a horse through this world is an experience in itself, it is the most realist interpretation of horse riding and care, ever in a game and as this is set in the old west you spend a lot of the time on horse back and every time I mount the horse and giddy him up there is a sense of enjoyment.
    I have found a couple of negatives with the game, firstly on the PS4 pro the game uses a strange filter or dithering effect to run the game at a higher resolution, its really detracts for the beautiful game world at times and I really hope the give an option to lower the resolution for a crisper image in the future. The other issue is (Tap A rapidly to move fast) having to tap the A button rapidly to sprint and Gallop does add to the sense on movement and urgency in the game, but it isnt worth it for the carpel tunnel you get in your hand, I am getting on in years and I have to stop playing this game due to the pain it causes in my hand. There is also the issue of the realism of the controls and the animation making it a chore to control Aurther, there feels like many cheap deaths when Aurther dosent do what you expect because he is reacting to some random object in the environment and all the small animation add up to being extremely irritating to watch after a time.
    The size of the world, the graphics, the psychics, everything is this game has level of polish and attention to detail that puts every game before it shame. They have really spared no expense or time to get the most from the Wild West world they have created and only the simplest and toxic of minds would be able to say this game is anything less than Amazing.    … Expand

    I can't see this getting game of the year but personally I applaud the developers for trying to do something different. Instead of just remaking the first game they created something more challenging and in my opinion, very engaging. I think a lengthy single player campaign with a great story (so far from what i've played) with varied mission types and no microtransactions (in the single player) deserves a bit more praise.
    Sure there are flaws, the wanted system seems a bit broken and visually it's not going to win any awards, the start is slow and sometimes you're asked to ride long distances but personally those feel like small gripes in the grand scheme of things.

    The attention to details is unparalleled. Red Dead Redemption 2 sets a new standard for the next generation of games and it sets the bar extremely high.

    The game will also reward you for your knowledge of the western movie genre, with the beautiful replicate of "Once Upon a Time in the West" train interior, to scenes, dialogues and acting reminiscent of other Sergio Leone's movies as well as the more recent Tarantino movie.

    This is a game that has been extremely polished, it is gigantic and detailed. The graphics are leaps beyond Grand Theft Auto V, which is incredible considering it runs on the same hardware at an even more fluid framerate. The animations are just as incredible as well as the collision detection. There is much to do here.

    There is a lot of story here and just like an old western epic tale, it starts slowly, introducing all the characters. By the time the first chapter is over you will already know the names of all of them.

    This game is a gem, something no serious gamer can afford to avoid. Some not familiar with Grand Theft Auto controls may find them a bit difficult at first, but it all make sense once you are used to them.

    It is astounding that this game is as perfect as it is and that there is still so much more to come, commencing with a complete multiplayer mode next month.

    Rockstar have just taken the crown of video game developers. They have a product here that could well redefine the quality of the games we get from other companies in the future. I strongly believe that we must support companies that are willing to spend so much time on a single title, as if the exercise would be a failure financially it could jeopardize the development of future games of that magnitude and quality.

    I think a lot of these negative reviews are just impatience people who should maybe stick to something a bit more fast paced. i think the game is good there are a few issues no questioning that but every game has had some teething issues in the first stages of release before the patches come along and fix things. well worth the money and i would make that purchase again without question.I think a lot of these negative reviews are just impatience people who should maybe stick to something a bit more fast paced. i think the game is good there are a few issues no questioning that but every game has had some teething issues in the first stages of release before the patches come along and fix things. well worth the money and i would make that purchase again without question. as a returning red dead fan i was content with the prequel even thou it is questionable were the character actually fits into the story given there was no prior mention of him. all and all good solid game with a potential to grow with a few updates!… Expand

    A true masterpiece in every aspect. I've waited for this game ever since it was announced back in 2016 and I believe Rockstar games has delivered on all fronts. This game is such an immersive and enjoyable experience, with an abudance of side activities and places to explore. Easily my game of the year.

    This game blew me away, the visuals, story, gameplay are all great. A great way to take the first rdr and expand on it. I enjoy the small things you can do, shaving, chopping wood etc. They are all optional and not required. There are some very small things ill get annoyed with from time to time but not often enough for me to quit the game

The environments, storytelling and cast of characters are great , also the attention to detail is awe inspiring. The fact that you have to press R2 to pull the hammer back on a revolver or cock a rifle before firing adds a whole new gameplay element to the game causing you to quickly learn how best to approach combat which is usually sticking to cover rather than walking towards everyone like the terminator. Now U'm not going to list all the things the game does well because everyone has said it already but the things it does poorly. First things first, the pacing of the game particularly in the beginning can be rather slow almost boring as the game demands to teach you all of the basics within the first 2 chapters which can be a chore at times. The bounty system also could use some work as there have been too many times when I have been on my horse and a random dog or person walks in front of me and I run them over by accident just t.o get in trouble with the law. The controls at time can also be extremely clunky especially in first person I literally cannot look backwards in first person without my horse driftng off the road or beginning to spin in circles. There are more flaws bit rather minor ones.

    Overall the gaame is amazing the story an characters are amazing but, because of the issues with controls and some other issues I can't give the game a 10. 10 is reserved for 'masterpieces' Red Dead Redemption 2 is cloe to it but not quite there I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys good storytelling and immersive wo    … Expand

    Red dead redemption 2 is probably the best game i have played. It's story is fantastic and has a lot of things to do on the side when you arent doing the missions. You can hunt, fish or rob something. Its amazing. I am 16 hours in and it still blows me away at the detail and work that goes into this game. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Take note: EA, Ubisoft and more, this is how you make a game.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is hands down one of the best open world games I have ever played. To begin with, the universe it takes place is quite massive and full of life.

To begin with, the universe it takes place is quite massive and full of life. It is convincing, let me just say that. Often enough, game developers come out with massively detailed maps that lack the most important part: life. Rockstar did it right as usual, and the map truly breathes. Animals, NPCs, everything feels consistent and coherent. They all have a purpose, never there for placeholding or to make it feel like there is something going on but not really, like it usually happens with massive open world universes. Rockstar made an universe of their own and it shines.
    As we all know, a game is not only made of big and living maps. It needs objectives, a storyline, strong characters and something to get you hooked on. Luckily enough, RDR 2's story is nearly as perfect as the universe it takes place. You will fall in love with Dutch Van der Linde's gang, and you will also hate them, at times. It's unpredictable, cruel and sometimes funny. It feels like something straight out of a good western book, and it really does make you play the game for countless hours nonstop. For nearly 60 hours, you say goodbye to your true self and take Arthur's body into quite an adventure.
    It has quite a slow start as most people mentioned in the reviews, but it definitely gets better as you rack up the game hours. It's good to the point you don't want it to end, and the closer you get to the final chapter, the more you want it to last longer. It's like that expensive Danish Cookies box you got for Christmas, except you can't really have more of it once it's over. Unless one could wipe his memories and play it again like it was the very first time.
    And not only it's a good storyline, but it also sticks with you. It's rather memorable, with lots of ups and downs and unexpected twists. Truly one of the best stories ever written for a game, despite some saying otherwise. Let's just say those are used to the standard AAA storytelling technique, which is sort of predictable at all times. RDR 2's story might be everything, but not predictable. If you have never gotten any spoilers, the outcome of the campaign will be definitely a surprise. And it's better that way. Predictability takes a lot away from the overall enjoyment.
    Rockstar took full advantage of the "next generation" of consoles - or should we say "soon to be obsolete" generation? - delivering an impressive visual quality tied to a huge environment and excellent artificial intelligence. Just like in 2013 with Grand Theft Auto V on PS3 and X360, the game is quite a closure to the current generation. Xbox One and PS4 are soon to be gone, but they are going with a bang. Full style, like a true gunslinger. A decent goodbye. The Housers once again proving that they master the extremely challenging task of taking the full potential of the hardware they got to work on, like making juice out of rocks. With that much money to spare, it is definitely not unexpected.
    It's a 10 from me, but it definitely does not mean that it's perfect. There's no such thing as perfection. Everything has its flaws and RDR 2 could not run away from that, but those are minor and don't affect the overall experience. It's definitely worth the 60 dollars and it's a life you have to live. Arthur Morgan's journey is one of a kind.    … Expand

    These are just my personal thoughts on the game.

    From start to finish this story of Red Dead Redemption 2 slowly works at almost masterfully telling not just Arthur's journey, but that of each member of the gang. I say “almost masterfully” due to the fact that some of the character's development can be missed if the player decides not to engage with each member frequently. And this too    These are just my personal thoughts on the game.

    From start to finish this story of Red Dead Redemption 2 slowly works at almost masterfully telling not just Arthur's journey, but that of each member of the gang. I say “almost masterfully” due to the fact that some of the character's development can be missed if the player decides not to engage with each member frequently. And this too has its own narrative aspects, ignore the gang too often, and they grow to dislike you. In my playthrough, I took every chance I could to engage each member, and with that… very seldom have I played a game where each character feels so genuine, unique, fully fleshed out, and alive. That doesn’t mean that everyone will like it, and not everyone does, but for me the slower pacing and build up really helps aid the narrative. Nothing feels too rushed or too forced, characters seem to react according to their personalities and perceptions, and when dealing with such a large cast that is a difficult thing to achieve. Although Rockstar's writers have attempted to curb a lot of their typical humor in favor of writing a compelling narrative, there is still plenty of humor to be found in the world, and it would seem to me that the dialogue finds itself to be much more authentically funny and realistic than some previous Rockstar titles.

    Personally, this game thrives on the mundane... and I think that's kind of the point. Things like taking a bath, resting at camp, going fishing, hunting, playing cards, dominos, or just chatting by the fire. All of these little things help establish a world that allows you to be human, to settle in and enjoy yourself, to relax before the inevitable gunfight or the long rides across an open wilderness full of threats and adventure. After catching Arthur up on some much needed rest after taking on a few chores and missions at the gang camp, I remember riding out into the forest to go hunting, only to find that I was the one being hunted by a cougar. Before I knew it, my trek to obtain meat for sustenance became a life or death situation when I realized that there was also a pack of wolves nearby who had come for the cougar's carcass. Stories aside from the narrative in RDR2 are plentiful and often... and they often have consequences and rewards. Spend too much time out in the wild without setting up a camp to eat and recover, and Arthur becomes drained of energy, which alters how he's able to hunt and fight. Neglecting food and Arthurs health deteriorates faster, rely on Dead Eye for too long and his ability is drained making gunfights and precision hunting more skill dependent. The introduction of cores to these elements was daunting at first, but as I continued through the game, I came to appreciate them and understand their purpose. Seldom was it that I found myself sitting at the other end of the controller not having a great time. Random events occur pretty frequently and include Ambushes, robberies, bounties, kidnappings, prisoner transports, and others and are fairly abundant.

    I did, however, encounter some technical and graphical issues. Things such as when mounting a horse near certain objects causing the animations to bug-out, I was unable to loot certain bodies after a gunfight if they were near other interactable objects (like weapons, tonics, and the like, where the solution was to move the body), and some texture pop-ins when riding really fast through densely forested/populated areas, but otherwise I had very few issues with the game. All things considered though, these issues were not game breaking and were honestly not surprising given how extensive this game truly is. I have tried to find any real major faults with the game from my personal perspective and honestly the positives far outweigh any negative in my book. And I do understand that the slower pacing will dampen some people's experience in the world of RDR2, but as I stated earlier, I found that aspect of it to actually aid the narrative and overall theme the game is attempting to establish.    … Expand

    The natural environment, the pacing, the story-telling, the action, everything in this game seems to be perfect. Without much playtime yet I can already acknowledge that this is by far Rockstar's greatest product to date.

    It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]
