    Rich with story, characters you attach too...even your horse, and over 30 hours in, the game still presents me with content thats surprising. I would give this game a 10/10 if it had more RPG elements like stats on clothing and a little more detailed stat layout for guns and your character. Along with upgradable skills. Some how though, the game doesnt even have me worrying about it.

    RDR2 is an extraordinary game, one of the most immersive games out there and for sure the most immersive open world game I've ever played.

There are only a few games that manage to make you feel insignificant, just as any other person in that world (at least for a while). Most games make you feel the entire world is created as a playground for you to enjoy. You have so many things to discover if you pay attention. So many things in the world hide clues for you to find, so many random events make you feel the world is organic and believable. It isn't the classic open world where you have to climb somewhere tall in order to find everything you can do in an area and after you cleanup that area you go to the next area and so on. The beginning is a little bit slow but it serves as both a tutorial (since the game has a lot of mechanics that need to be learned) and an introduction to the characters and the relations between them. This makes me jump to the next category which is the story. To me the story was great especially because the game has multiple endings based on the way you play the game. However the story has 6 large chapters and after you finish the game they make you play 2 more Epilogue chapters which are again mostly tutorials in order to play one meaningful mission at the end. It was nice but it hurts the pacing. The game is heavily politicized but in my opinion it was all done pretty well and without ruining the overall immersion a lot. Personally I hate when games are pushing political agendas because games should be made to be fun not to preach you about all kind of things and especially when missions or characters are fabricated just to match the agenda they are trying to push. The graphics and sound are stellar. I couldn't believe how detailed everything is. Hands down to Rockstar for the huge effort they put into this game. The gameplay is fun but after a while you will see the mission structures bare the pattern. However you have a variety of weapons that you can choose from (all customizable) and after all this is what I expected from the game to be honest. Besides the story missions you have a lot of side missions that you can play and also a ton of side activities such as robbing people, hunting or fishing. I didn't play RDR because I don't have a ps3 but RDR2 is one of my favorite games out there. It isn't a perfect game but it comes very close to one. 9/10 Expand

    One of those games that you remember all your life. Arthur Morgan is a character who seems to have a life of his own and it is very easy to empathize with him. The script of the game is perfect and the story is very interesting. With incredible graphics, perfect music and sound. Rockstar created a game with a thoroughness that we rarely see.

    In its lows it defines open world adventure. It its best it defines the same thing on a larger scale. I will openly admit I loved this game. From the varied cast of characters to the all-out shootouts it had me gripped. The open world was vast and very open, it allowed me to feel like a hard-head cowboy in the western dunes or high-rise mountains.

    While it played, felt and generally gave a gripping story and adventure, there was a couple of things that let it down. One of them was the lonesome cavern of the open world. Sure, it was beautiful and nothing was off limits, but at times it got bland and boring. For example, you could be riding the road from Saint Denis to Valentine and absolutely nothing happens. Maybe on the off chance you encounter a random event or some roguish thugs, nothing too grand though.

    The second downside was the lack of content after the epilogue. Once the main campaign is done you have a small epilogue to tie up the loose ends. After that though there is not much going on. No DLC content for the story either makes for not much fun.

    In conclusion this game is good, even great. The problem is the world can be too expansive for an actual enjoyable experience. I’m not saying make a gun shootout on every corner, but after you have passed a blind man about 30 times, I might as well have shot him and forget it ever happened. Also, with there being no solid content after the main story it does make you wonder. Now I like Rockstar as a company but, this game feels to have been made to be short term popular than a longer running title.

    How to define Red Dead Redemption 2?

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a teaching, a sensory experience, something timeless.
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is simply the wéstern made into a video game.

    *STORY*: United States, 1899. The decline of the Wild West has begun and the forces of law hunt the last bands of outlaws. Those who do not surrender or succumb are killed. After a disastrous failed robbery in the town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and Van der Linde's gang are forced to flee.

    The script is based on a simple idea, but it is so well written and developed, with magnificent characters and performances... that this video game is simply going to be unforgettable in the retina of those of us who have enjoyed it.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Realistic (within the limits of the format) and, therefore, rough and uncomfortable the first hours (especially the fact that the character walks so slowly), but there is its magic. Its simulation.

    *GRAPHICS*: In the artistic and graphic aspect it's simply perfect.

    *SOUND*: Due to its tight number of musical pieces, its musical aspect doesn't stand out like other great ones (TLOU or DOOM, for example), but the few pieces that there are are impeccable.

    *INNOVATION*: The original RDR already marked the steps of its sequel (in spite of its great differences in how they are played), but it simply marks a new culmination of the world.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an enormous game. The insane amount of detail cannot be found in any other game. Most of the time it runs at 30 fps which is pretty impressive for a game like this. Only my base PS4 sounds like it's going airborne any second.

    It's a typical Rockstar game, meaning countless hours and dozens of repetitive main missions which feel like errands.

    Game of the year talk is upon us and you will see many, and I mean many people proclaim Red Dead Redemption as their game of the year. They won’t be wrong it isn’t a bad game at all, but I will talk about the game without the rose-colored glasses on for a bit and tell you that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fantastic game with some noticeable flaws.

    Game of the year talk is upon us and you will see many, and I mean many people proclaim Red Dead Redemption as their game of the year. They won’t be wrong it isn’t a bad game at all, but I will talk about the game without the rose-colored glasses on for a bit and tell you that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fantastic game with some noticeable flaws.

    You are part of an infamous outlaw gang on the run from the law from beginning to the end. The gang you play is from the first game, but unlike the first one you don’t get any real new questions to ask just more answers. Let me explain. In the first you hear stories of Johns past and you can imagine what it was like. This game being a prequel they take time to only answer without really setting up anything new to the characters or any real new backstory to the ones from the first game. Arthur is your new main character that for the most part you can customize throughout the game. He is a good fit, but compared to other character in the gang you ride with he is way less interesting. I would have liked to play as the gang’s leader Dutch and get a closer glimpse into his madness. He is by far the most interesting character and I only wish he was the focus of the story. The campaign is long and the story has many cinematic moments that make you truly feel like an old west cowboy which is all we can ask for.

    The gameplay however is where more of my gripes come into play. The biggest one is the fact the game doesn’t know when to end. It has a good 4+ hour epilogue that they split into two parts. Rockstar typically speaking epilogue isn’t that long hell at max I’d expect 30 minutes. This wouldn’t be a problem if the 4 hours were action packed or emotionally engaging. Instead you do chores for half of it. Look I can shovel **** in real life I don’t need a game for that experience. I also couldn’t stand the horse mechanics in this game. I hate that I couldn’t fast travel and whistle for my horse because the dumb beast wasn’t near. My personal favorite which in fact made me fail a couple of missions is my horse’s ability to run head first into a tree. I did this more times than is funny, and after a while I almost shot the damn thing because that is such a stupid thing to include in a game with horses. I can ride my horse through a forest in The Witcher and get out unscathed, but in Red Dead I get near a tree and this stupid animal rams head first into itself preservation be damned. I want to end on a good note so I will talk about the gunplay. I love how the guns feel in this game. I chose the more powerful slightly slower weapons in the game but I felt it. I also adored when the missions would have you do these scripted scenes that felt like they were ripped out of a western movie. The world felt so alive that the town, random strangers, hell even the shops all remembered you and your actions.

    Overall Red Dead Redemption 2 is a great game and will still manage to make my top five games of the year. Some will love it more than me and that is fine it is a solid game. The things that annoyed me just really irked me to the point of not having a good time. In the end it is like 90% fantastic and like 10% not I give it still a full price.

    Yo esperaba algo más tirando a western pero no es así, es una historia que cuenta los últimos días de los forajidos en América cuando empiezan a aparecer las grandes ciudades y compañías.

    Gráficamente el entorno es de 10, todas las animaciones fluyen naturalmente y para una misma acción hay varias animaciones distintas. Las caras en mi opinión son mejorables gráficamente, juegos como witcher 3 o uncharted 4 lo solucionan mejor.

    La jugabilidad es abrumadora, se basa sobretodo en jugabilidad emergente. A medida que te mueves por el mapa te encuentras con infinidad de eventos que te dan la sensación de que el mundo está vivo, y no hablo solamente de eventos jugables sino de animales cazando a otros solamente xq eso es lo que hacen los animales, sin ninguna intención de que el jugador haga nada.
    El combate es lo principal y está bastante bien resuelto, con el dead eye, con gran variedad de armas y personalizaciones. Existen infinidad de actividades secundarias que podemos realizar como cazar, jugar al poker, buscar tesoros, etc.

    La historia empieza con un ritmo lento pero a mediados del juego coge un ritmo bastante bueno y te deja enganchado hasta el final. Hecho de menos algunas opciones adicionales a la hora de rolear pero Rockstar nos fija bastante la personalidad del protagonista y simplemente vemos su evolución sin poder elegir demasiado.

    Es un juego hiperdetallista e hiperrealista, técnicamente lo mejor que he probado nunca y el mejor mundo abierto que he visto hasta la fecha. Para poder disfrutarlo el juego nos invita a seguir un ritmo lento y perdernos en su mundo para descubrir todos esos detalles.

    Lo recomiendo a todo aquel que le gusten los mundos abiertos y que tenga tiempo para poder jugarlo a su ritmo.

However, it is IMPORTANT to criticize it as well, and hope to see games that will perfect the formula.

    To put things into perspective, take God of War. That game has excellent gameplay, narration and visuals. There, you can see they were able to scale it up sustainably and refine the game to perfection. The story is wonderfully told, the pacing is never off and the gameplay is just fantastic! Yes, RDR2 has a more realistic, epic story and a vast open world -- all things that I like -- but it has not been refined as much. Heck, in some ways it is really rough. The only thing that kept me going was the story, the world, the characters.

    This is by far the best game I have ever played, and I believe we won't see anything like it anytime soon. In fact, I feel like only this developer, Rockstar Games, is capable of delivering a title similar to this experience as their games in the last 15-20 have always set the standard for works that would follow at least a few years later. Now, why I love this particular game and not justThis is by far the best game I have ever played, and I believe we won't see anything like it anytime soon. In fact, I feel like only this developer, Rockstar Games, is capable of delivering a title similar to this experience as their games in the last 15-20 have always set the standard for works that would follow at least a few years later. Now, why I love this particular game and not just its developer. Firstly, as it probably is the shortest one to cover, let's talk technology - the game features the most outstanding graphics I have seen on a console, and my mind can't comprehend how it runs so well. The animation work is beyond praise and all of graphical elements are top notch. The visuals create a rare sense or realism that greatly helps immersion. To top it off, I have encountered very few glitches in what I presume to be more than 300 hours of play time. Next, music - the score is wonderful and emotionally touching. The music dinamically underlines the gameplay and plays a crucial role in key story moments. It flawlessly fits the style and time period the game aims to portray and helps to establish a connection with the characters. Then, the world - and oh my, what a world this is! Probably the most amazing thing about Red Dead 2, it is simply stunning and quite hard to conceive without having played the game. An unseen beofore level of interactivity, creativity, diversity and depth are what elevates this game's world above all others. Not to mention that it is incredibly large and filled to the brim with things to do. RDR2's world feels so lived in, it is sometimes hard to distinguish from reality. Lastly, the story. I think I have to take my words above back, as this may actually be the best thing about the game. This narrative is something that transcends the field of game developoment, as it is just on a whole other level, able to fit into a movie studio or a writer's cabinet with ease. The characters are likely to be the best in gaming with depth, personality and realism that befits only the best of modern writers. The story delivers an incredible amount of moral, philosophical and emtotional dilemmas that can never cease to astonish me. The effort that has gone into establishing this detailed atmosphere with intelligent and meaningful character intreactions is unbelieavable and is probably why Rockstar Games, and namely Dan Houser, have been able to achieve such grand success and critical praise. The evloution and fate of the Van der Linde gang are very compelling, absorbing and worthwhile. The game's protagonish is a very complex, multi-faceted and engaging character who completely draws the player into his personal story as well as into that of his comrades. Starkingly humane at heart, the story is based on both Romantic and Realist themes, as well as some characterstic of Modernism. It shows a freat amount of research and devotion to authenticity. A pure masterpiece, this is a game that would easily be enjoyed by gamers and non-gamers alike, as it is truly and almost overwhlemingly a work of art. Expand

Red Dead Redemption 2 is truly a masterpiece. it's the kind of game Hideo Kojima wishes he could make and that i think his ego allows him to believe he's made in the miserably dire Death Stranding. The story plays out like an epic western (but infinitely better written than any western film) The characters, even the minor one, are all unique and fantastically written and performed. The score is great, though if you're looking to buy it, do look for the official score not the official soundtrack as the soundtrack is just a lot of awful modern pop crap. As for the world itself, it's just incredible. I could spend hours just roaming the beautiful unspoilt countryside. One thing, this game is not like GTA, it requires patience and diligence, but all of that is rewarded with an unforgettable gaming experience. Expand

After losing all my progress at about 95% while trying to attempt a gold bar glitch (sue me, Its a single player and I like to make outfits) I am about 26% through a second play-through and it is not any less exciting.

    The care put into this game is evident. It gets a 10 from me because it is just as fun this second time around as it was the first, and my time being at a premium, and enjoyable replay is the highest honor i can give a video game.

    The level on Guarma is a bit of a weird pit stop for the plot, but It doesn't last particularly long. For people that take exception with the amount of time spent on the epilogue, I have my own personal interpretation of what they were trying to accomplish and without being spoiler-y, I feel that they did what they had set out to.

    Red Dead: Redemption 2 is an amazing game, but it does have its fair share of flaws, and believe me, there are plenty of them to talk about. I spent around 200 hours playing the Single Player, yes 200hrs... not even kidding. I loved the game, but that doesn't mean I will stop thinking critically and start fanboying over it. In this review, I will list down the Cons and Pros of this game,Red Dead: Redemption 2 is an amazing game, but it does have its fair share of flaws, and believe me, there are plenty of them to talk about. I spent around 200 hours playing the Single Player, yes 200hrs... not even kidding. I loved the game, but that doesn't mean I will stop thinking critically and start fanboying over it. In this review, I will list down the Cons and Pros of this game, then I will tell you whether you should buy the game or not.

    CONS:

    - Bad controls
    - Outdated game/mission design
    - They tried to make this game too realistic/sandbox-ish
    - Horrendous gameplay(Movement mechanics, and gun-play)
    - Very tedious
    - Can sometimes be repetitive
    - Narrative story pacing issues(the game takes a huge dump at around chapter 5)

    PROS:

    - Even though the story has pacing issues, Red Dead: Redemption 2 still has one of the best narrative stories in video games.
    - The random encounters and side missions are a lot of fun to play and add to the overall experience.
    - Every single character in the game is amazing, relatable, and lovable. Every one of them has a role to play, whether it's the main storyline or one of the side stories.
    - THE VISUAL ASPECT OF THE GAME IS MIND BLOWING!! The game is just TOO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT!!!!!! I played the game in my standard PlayStation 4(PS4) and I am surprised as to how a 4-year-old console is still able to push the game to such high graphical fidelity. The face animations, the environment, the weather effects, everything is just mindblowing. Visually, there is truly a huge amount of attention to detail.

    Conclusion: Yes, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BUY THE DAMN GAME!! It's one of the best games of 2018 and a true game of the year contender. Even though the game has plenty of flaws, the PROS I mentioned in this review, do a great job of overshadowing the CONS. I had the same problems with Grand Theft Auto 5(GTA5), horrible controls, horrible gameplay, and Rockstar still, to this day, has not fixed the issues with their controls, outdated game/mission design, and gameplay. Overall, this game is a MUST HAVE!!!!!!

Of course such meticulousness is not for every player and I believe that probably someone won't like it, but still it is really outstanding. MUST PLAY. Expand

    1 - I can't run when I'm at camp. 2 - I can't fast travel from the beginning of the game. 3 - I can't skip the animation when you skin an animal. On a game that offers so much, if these are the best complains you can come up with to justify a bad rating, really, go play some random online FPS and leave

    I have also read about how many bugs there are. Of course you will find some bugs from time to time in such a game, but the amount and the severity of the bugs are sure OK. The game experience is not ruined at all.

    There are only two possible ratings for such an unprecedented milestone in the game industry: 9 and 10. I respect the 9 ratings due to the principle that there is always room for improvement, and of course they could have done some things a whole lot better (particularly on story variations depending on your choices and honor). But 10's are not about polished games with no bugs at all or easy controls, they are reserved for the few masterpieces that are released every year. And this is sure one of them. 10 for me.

    I played RDR a lot in 2010-2011, complete play-throughs of the main story and all the side quests, as well as the online version. I found the immersion incredible and after a while, I realized that playing the game was more about being in the environment than just executing the next goal; the environment was so rich, I often found myself avoiding the next main story objective, wantingI played RDR a lot in 2010-2011, complete play-throughs of the main story and all the side quests, as well as the online version. I found the immersion incredible and after a while, I realized that playing the game was more about being in the environment than just executing the next goal; the environment was so rich, I often found myself avoiding the next main story objective, wanting instead to explore and enjoy the little things.

    I think this is one of the reasons I find RDR2 so good. After about 10 hours in, that feeling came back – I just wanted to be in the environment. The missions are fun, and the story is the best story I’ve found in a game, and so, consequently, I’m not in a rush to see it finish; it’s like when you realize you’re watching a really fantastic movie, and you don’t want it to end. A game offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in an environment more fully than a movie, and a correctly constructed open-world game allows you to do it at a leisurely pace rather than race from task to task, and still enjoy the time as it passes. If not, why bother making it open world? The world itself has to be the star of the show, as much as the missions, story, or anything else.

    I’ve played most open world games. Character movement is better in other franchises. Gunplay is better elsewhere, inventory management has better implementation examples in any number of other titles. However, as much as I love the other open worlds out there, none is quite as impressive to me as RDR2. The thought put into it is evident. The scale of the accomplishment is impressive. Dialogue between characters is exceptional, and when I compare it to many recent titles it makes them look lazy and amateur. Though it has bugs, I’ve encountered very few, which is a nice, refreshing change compared to the normal bug set I usually get from Bethesda or Ubisoft. This game not only feels polished, but contains all kinds of extra things that have exceeded my expectations in delightful ways. I’m not yet finished with the main story, though I feel like I’m close to the end – and I’m ready to give it the award for best story in a video game. The writing is superb.

    I acknowledge that some of this has to do with a fondness and sentimentality for RDR. To their credit, Rockstar seamlessly knitted RDR2’s prequel story into the beginning of RDR, and they knew exactly how to hit all the right emotional buttons for anyone who loved the 2010 title.

    There are always negative reviews of things. Some of the negative reviews I’ve read are, of course, not at all my experience. I’m 50+ hours into RDR2 and I’ve loved every minute of it; I don’t want it to end. A lot of it comes down to personal preference. In the seven years between RDR and RDR2, I played a lot of other open world games, and I realized very quickly into RDR2 that the pace of those games was not what the environment of West Elizabeth was all about. I remembered thinking to myself halfway through the game that someone who wasn’t patient was probably going to hate RDR2. Patience has its rewards, and sure enough, it made for an extremely rich, emotional experience story-wise, something I rarely – if ever – get from the other titles I’ve played. There’s plenty of action in this game if you want to engage action, but there’s also the slow pleasure of a casual poker game or a horse ride just to see the sights (as opposed to a ride to get to the start of a mission). Since I find the environment so enjoyable, the game works for me whereas it might not for someone who just wants to execute the main story as quickly as possible.

    I’m not unfamiliar with that desire; there are some games where I just want to get to the end because the world isn’t rich enough to hold my attention. With RDR2, as much as I want to complete the full story, I never want it to end…probably because it’ll be another seven years for a sequel.

    It’ll be worth waiting for if it’s this well made and executed. Hat’s off, Rockstar. You’re like the Kubrick of video gaming. Not a lot of output, but when you do…wow. Thanks for the good work.

    Je nasnadě ocenit bezednou originalitu a odvahu vývojářů pustit se do tak rozsáhlého projektu. Red Dead Redemption 2 je projekt, který si zaslouží respekt nejen náš a hráčské komunity, ale učit by se z něj mohla i některá ostatní vývojářská studia. Rockstar Games opět dokázalo, že dokáží to, co ostatní považují za nemožné. GamePress cz

    Ну на 8 пойдёт, прям вау как это клёво не было. Сюжет классный но могли бы сделать и более интереснее. Графон нормальный но и не вырви глаз. Развитие в лагере абсолютно бесполезное, просто фишка которая есть и всё, профита особого нету, ну разве что фаст тревел. Ну так под пивко покатит мой вердикт.Ну на 8 пойдёт, прям вау как это клёво не было. Сюжет классный но могли бы сделать и более интереснее. Графон нормальный но и не вырви глаз.

    Game with the best graphics for 2018 and with an interesting plot with a large open world.Rockstar made a lot of Easter eggs in the game, and it's cool!At first, the plot may seem boring and not interesting,but after 30-40% of the game you will like.It's worth the money.I advise you to play!)

    In my personal opinion I make two settings: First, it is not a game for everyone. I say this because it is a game worthy of appreciation and not play anyway.
    Second: It is a work of art when seen and understood the whole concept of what this game represents.
    Every minute is worth it, but only if you know how to appreciate the details without haste.

    Amazing game!
    This game offers tremendous details and a quite authentic (?) experience of the old wild west accompanied by great story and fun stranger activities.
    Game-play It is easy enough to get the hang of it especially after the hand holding segments. And after a short while you'll be popping head-shots here and there. Horse-riding is great and I find myself preferring this

    Game-play
    It is easy enough to get the hang of it especially after the hand holding segments. And after a short while you'll be popping head-shots here and there. Horse-riding is great and I find myself preferring this method of navigation more than fast travelling so that I can enjoy the awesome environment and meeting weird strangers on the road.

    Hunting is a bit of a mixed bag as they have introduced a new 3-star system rating the quality of the game. You'll have to stop, observe, and then choose the right weapon to kill it for the perfect pelt. This, although quite fun on paper, impacts a little bit on the experience. Because hunting is not really necessary except for collecting perfect pelts in order to upgrade and craft pouches, clothing and your settlement. I find myself spending a bit too much time in searching and hunting. And if you don't perform a perfect kill, the quality of the pelts will be knocked down and you'll have to do it all over again...

    Story
    It was great! For a big fan of the first installment, it was a great ride. It helped flesh out the old known characters and at the same time introduce new distinct ones. The story made sense and is impact-ful. It is a well written prequel to the original RDR. I don't want to spoil the story so i'll leave it right here. All I can say is it will be able to satisfy old fans and new comers.

    The side missions add even depth to the main character as well. Sometimes some stranger missions will let you know more about his past and have more insights into his nature. while other missions have surprising easter eggs that will leave you smiling if you understood what it meant. I'd strongly suggest people not to miss these stranger missions as it is the best way Rockstar had made use of this side mission mechanics so far. and i hope they would keep on doing this to their upcoming franchises (GTA 6 maybe? please?)

    Graphics and mechanics
    Despite the fake HDR thing that's a bit of a let down. This game looks gorgeous in SDR! the dynamic weather system feels realistic and interacts with you. rains pour on you and your horse. mud gets splashed onto the horse as you ride through it. strong winds affect Arthur's walking animation. And most importantly, the horse's balls shrink or hang lower depending on the temperature!

    Small details are put into the game everywhere. you'll smell when you haven't taken a shower for a long time and animals will be able to detect you from a longer distance than usual. animal carcasses will progressively rot if left on the ground. Your horse poops and complains about walking through tough bushes.

    One little gripe i had with the game is the way your horse follows you to the next fast travel location on the train. nearly every time whenever i took the train to St Denise it will become suicidal and walks into the train causing it to be knocked back and drop any large items stowed on it.

    In short.
    Stunning game, didn't like the hunting

    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]

    Amazing not only for Western lovers. No other game has probably offered so many options to express yourself in the open world, and at the same time did not have such an interesting, rough and moving story. A magnificent experience, with a slightly slower start. [Issue#291]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
