    Great cinematography, good story, good characters. It's slow paced but I like that.
    Poor shooting, almost all of the missions are build you go somewhere -> smth happens here -> you shoot someone.
    Mission structure seems to be a big problem but I actually really liked the game somehow

    Большой открытый мир. Проработанный сюжет и допквесты. Красивая, но не оптимизированная графика. Тормозные игровые механики, перегруженный интерфейс.

    This game has got for a few hundred hours of a good Wild West adventure. The story is a masterpiece and online is a great addition to the great plot of the main game.

    This is the best game I have ever experienced on any console. Complete immersion in an almost unlimited world. And there are, at the same time, tense, funny and emotive moments throughout the solid story. A game to enjoy every little detail, sending you directly to 1899. Strongly recommended.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. RDR2 is a flawed masterpiece. The graphics, animations, world, characters, and story are all top notch. Without going into spoiler territory I grew very fond of Arthur Morgan and Dutch has to be one of the most complex video game characters ever. However, the only thing holding it back from a perfect score is the underwhelming controls. A game like this should control better than a game that came out 6 years ago, but it doesn't. RDR2 is my favorite game of 2018 as it's a flawed masterpiece. Expand

    One of my favourite time killers, it's so easy to lose yourself and spend endless hours in the most realised, incredible game world. I've spent endless hours just taking in the world, whether it be in the bustling city of Saint Denis, the small town of Valentine or the varying camp sites that the gang sets up in.

    The story is even better and more realised, with every scene expertly written in every way, the ending had me in literal tears and the epilogue, while a bit of a slog at times is still a great explanation into how the next game is set up.
    The only complaint I have is the ridiculous aiming system with it being so easy just to pop in and out of cover just to instantly lock onto enemies without even needing to touch the right stick.

    Now I'll start this review off by saying that this game is a fantastic game, but it still has a lot of issues. The main issue with the game is definitely the controls and gameplay. But even with all of the issues I still love this game. The story and soundtrack are phenomenal and there are definitely more pros than cons. So let's just get to the summary.

    Summary:

    Gameplay - [7] The gameplay is very mixed for me. The biggest con of this game is the terrible controls. Shooting feels horrible and you pretty much have to use lock-on aim. Just doing anything feels bad because of the controls. The movement is extremely clunky and shouldn't be allowed in a finished game. Rockstar is known for using outdated gameplay mechanics but this is just so incredibly bad. At the same time beating someone up or shooting people is still very fun and they deserve a bit of credit for it.

    Story - [10] This game has one of the best game stories I have ever played. There really aren't any bad things about it. The game is essentially about the extinction of outlaws and how they are not wanted anymore. They have to flee from a place called Blackwater because of a heist gone wrong. But through all of this, we have a particular man called Arthur Morgan who is the protagonist. During the game, Arthur goes through a change and realizes he doesn't want to die a bad man. Throughout the game, you can see that he is trying to change for the better and in my eyes, he does succeed. And while changing he also has to stay in hiding with the gang.

    Graphics - [10] You all knew this was going to be a 10/10. The graphics are some of the best I have ever seen and the game deserves all the credit for it. The textures are fantastic and I could spend time sitting on my horse just looking at the environment. The graphics also help the game feel extra atmospheric.

    Soundtrack - [10] The soundtrack is fantastic in this game. The soundtrack fits very well with the western-theme. It sounds like something you would find in an old western movie and that is awesome. Some of the songs stand out more than others, but they are all top-class. I finished this game over half a year ago and I still listen to some of the songs from the soundtrack.

    In conclusion: The game is for the most part fantastic and a super good game. But Red Dead Redemption 2 also suffers from outdated gameplay mechanics and just the worst aiming in a game for a long time. Even though the game has some flaws it still didn't ruin the overall experience for me. In the end, I still loved the experience and I'm left with only happy thoughts and I will remember this game for a very long time.

    This game is masterpiece and many can be said to praise it, BUT:
    1) It's going boring close to the middle
    2) No quick transfer in so MASSIVE open world and sometimes the games transforms in Simulator of Horse Riding.
    It's must-to-play but you're to be VERY patient

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a perfect game. everything in Red Dead2 is perfect. from story to music. every part of Red Dead 2 is unique and perfect. Arthur Morgan is more than a Protagonist. the story is not just about a outlaw. its about a man in a real world and you can choose how to in it. Red Dead Redemption 2 is not a only game. its a life and you have to live in this world.

    After playing Cyberpunk 2077 i can just now appreciate how insane this game was. I played it just a month before CP2077s release cause i upgraded my PC recently. The difference is night and day.
    RDR2 is a true groundbreaking game that set a new standard for all AAA devs.

    Things that are beyond good in this game are almost everything. I cant get enough of it. The story is insane, Arthur is the character that made me cry for the first time in a video game, the level of detail and the amount you can explore and actually find stuff is incredible. The world is genuinely ALIVE unlike CP2077. You can talk to NPCs, you see animals, you find interesting stuff everywhere.

    As much as people rag on RDR2s combat its very fun. It might be an unpopular opinion but i find it really fun. From the point blank executions, takedowns, unarmed combat with guns in hand to long range snipes and shotgun blasts that take off limbs i can safely say its fun and satisfying. Its fairly simple but its good.

    The world is something else. Its legit 11/10. The game is beautiful even on the PS4 and XBOX One from what ive seen. On PC its absolutely incredible and it ran perfectly on my PC which is mid end btw. I was averaging 50fps on Ultra which i couldnt even understand how i was.

    The characters are just amazing, considering how many there are and how well written all of them are im amazed by that too.

    I mean its the best game ive ever played. This beats both FNV and Witcher 3 which i didnt think at all it would, i didnt think FNV would ever be topped for me but here it is. I expected a fun all action, rockstar style witty, sandbox game like GTA5 was. Nothing that would make me legit CRY and feel genuine emotion. Amazing. Best game ever made imo. Incredible job Rockstar.

    El juego simplemente me pareció una obra de arte. Voy a enumerar los puntos más destacables:

    Para empezar tiene uno de los mejores gráficos y detalles que ví en mi vida, los cambios de clima son impresionantemente realistas, los animales y plantas tambien. En segundo lugar, está la vida que tiene el mundo, a uno hasta le llega a dar pena matar a un NPC de lo real que se siente, los eventos aleatorios se enlazan de una manera perfecta a la historia principal, me ha pasado un par de veces de haber salvado a una persona y más tarde verlo en un pueblo que me reconozca y me premie por lo que hice. Uno se siente el protagonista en todo momento. Piensa que está ahi.

    Y por último, pero el punto más importante para mi, es la historia. Me parece una de las mejores que he visto, si bien es un poco lenta, está llevada de una manera perfecta, a medida que avanza el juego conocemos más a los integrantes de la banda, nos encariñamos más con unos que con otros, y nos preocupamos por su bienestar, donar al campamento es algo que sale de nosotros. Arthur Morgan, es desde mi punto de vista, el mejor protagonista de videojuegos que ví en mi vida, su evolución a lo largo del juego no podría estar hecha de mejor manera. El desenlace que me tocó a mí, es perfecto.

    Si uno espera un "GTA de vaqueros" se equivoca, es un juego mucho más centrado en la historia, un juego distinto y hay que valorarlo por eso, es un error muy grande a la hora de hacer una reseña compararlo con este juego constantemente.
    Lo recomiendo muchísimo vale la pena cada centavo, es uno de esos juegos que uno piensa que estafo a la compañía y no al revés como estamos acostumbrados.
    Sin duda un juego que me marco.

    El único problema que le veo es el Online, se hace muy repetitivo y carga mucho tiempo, que era un problema que ya se veía en el GTA V. Pero supongo que va a ir mejorando a lo largo del tiempo como el GTA.

    Lo único que es mejorable es el online se hace muy repetitivo y los mismos problemas de carga que en el GTA V, tarda un montón.

However, this game isn't perfect and is far from it. There are multiple bugs I've encountered, weird animations, bad pacing, and bad mechanics. Despite all of this the good parts of this game outweigh the bad, so let's get into this.
    Before I dissect this game, let me lay down a few things. First, I'm only going to be talking about the story and not about the online component of this game, because that requires a whole other review. Second, there are going to be spoilers, so if you haven't played this game be aware. Third, this review will probably miss a few things but keep in mind this is my first review, so let's get started.

    To begin this review, let's start on the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, which is obviously the strongest part of this game. When you are just roaming the open world of Red Dead Redemption is when the game's at it's best. You are instantly immersed in the world and really feel like a gunslinger cowboy. The world is so in-depth with about 70 different species of animals all fully animated and given different interactions. As you ride around the world, you will encounter random little side quests that require you to help people out or maybe the people trick you and try to rob you. The world is huge and even after you finish the campaign there's still so much to explore. On the service, the world might seem very shallow because most of your time is just riding your horse around open plains, tall mountains, snowy forests, and hot desert plains. But, if you take a moment to look around, you can see so much is there for you to witness and experience. All the NPC's have specific routes they follow during the day and night and all these specific actions that they take apart in. After using your gun's for a while you have to clean them so they function properly, you need to maintain your health, stamina, and deadeye cores, you gotta change your clothes so they fit the environment you're in, and so much more. When all these things come together, it feels amazing but it's very rare when all of these work so well. That's the main problem with this game, all the components are so vast and complex but don't always function the way they are supposed too and the game's always flipping between letting you do everything by yourself to then holding your hand like a little child. This leads to the biggest problem with this game, control.

    Control is something that every game strives for, maybe the game wants to control you on what to do and when to do it, which is perfectly fine in a game if they stick with it. Or, maybe the game wants to have no control over the player, which is also fine if the game sticks to it. However, Red Dead Redemption 2 is constantly flipping between letting you do whatever you want and holding your hand like a baby. One moment the game is letting you explore every little thing the way you like, you see a woman getting harassed, you can either watch it or intervene and try to help the problem. You see an animal as you are riding your horse, you have the option to hunt it or just let it live its life. Need some money, you can go get an honest job, or you can go rob a train to get money fast. That's all amazing but the game constantly, as I said before, is holding your hand. Which leads to the missions of Red Dead Redemption.

    Let's first start with the side missions of this game, then we will get into the main missions. Most of the side missions feel so fun to do, and at times feel like main missions. Most games have trouble making a gamer want to do the optional content but Red Dead Redemption's side mission's lure you in with its charm and just doesn't let go. Each side mission takes you into the life of all these NPC's and makes you want to learn more about all of their stories, and the characters are another strong point of the game. However, the main missions are a bit of a different story. Like I mentioned early, the main missions constantly flop between linear and open and it just doesn't work as well as I want it too. Which is sad because I love a lot of the missions and the concepts they introduce but are just ruined by some of the choices Rockstar made.

    Now let's get into the final part of the review, the characters/story. I love so many characters in this game, all of them are so well crafted and have so much depth. However, the only problem with this is there are too many characters for me to keep track of. These characters are still so good and I love every second that we got of them. Now the story, the story is absolutely groundbreaking. I love so much how Arthur is conflicted with wanting to be good, how he is good but knows he won't ever be due to the Gang. I love the ending of Arthur's story too, as he starts to break apart from the gang and wants a better life for everyone.

    This game has some major highs and lows. (No spoilers ahead).

    The good: The world looks and feels amazing. The world is “real”. Very well written characters and a good story. Arthur Morgan is fantastic and very well acted. The graphics already feel next gen. The bad: Terrible controls. It’s sluggish and it feels like enemies move faster than you and like they have the upper hand.

    The bad: Terrible controls. It’s sluggish and it feels like enemies move faster than you and like they have the upper hand. Even though the world is so open you can do anything you want, playing like a bandit and wrecking things the GTA way becomes extremely punishing. While you can perform robberies in any store, it is often not a good idea to do so since this game will punish does acts more than it rewards them. You’re almost forced to stay on track and be a good sport if you want to move ahead. Outdated mission design that feels last gen. The story is good it goes on for too long and parts of it feels unnecessary. Horseback riding is a drag and there is almost no fast travel. You’ll end up riding around A LOT.

    The ugly: I actually like the controls and mission design of GTA 5 better than RDR 2. And GTA 5 was released by the same developer in 2014.

    Verdict: Very memorable game, but it comes with some major gameplay frustrations which makes what could have been the best game ever made feel like a remaster of a PS3 game which is already outdated on release.

    Sensacional! O game tem uma historia muito épica, bem construida e envolvente. Os personagens sao cativantes e bem caracteristicos. O mundo aberto eh grande e bonito, cheio de conteudo. O jogo te da bastante liberdade no mundo aberto de como se locomover, qual missao realizar primeiro, matar todo mundo ou ser o bonzinho do rolê. A ganeplay eh boa e envolvente também.

O jogo tem uma narrativa incrível e um trilha sonora espetacular. Uma qualidade gráfica com detalhes impressionante e uma ótima storyline como sempre é esperado pelos padrões da Rockstar. O jogo pode ter momentos entediantes para alguns, pois há cenas em que há imensos diálogos e viagens à cavalo, o que não significa de maneira alguma que o jogo é ruim. O jogo é um prato cheio para quem gosta de uma boa História.

    O enredo é muito bem construído e os personagens tem uma profundidade enorme e são bem complexos. Cada um tem sua própria personalidade unica e você pode sentir empatia e em alguns casos ódio deles. A atuação é impressionante e o personagem principal tem uma construção insana ao longo do game. Você evolui e se apega cada vez mais ao personagem ao longo da história.

    A ambientação única de cada estado, o sound designer, as animações e a interação com o mundo desse jogo faz dele um jogo obrigatório na sua lista.
    As paisagens desse jogo são insanamente lindas.
    O jogo tem um aspecto quase-realista com algumas adaptações que fazem o gameplay mais fluido (o único fato que pode incomodar alguns jogadores é que você deve tirar sempre as armas do cavalo e você tem um limite de duas armas para carregar, que apesar de ser um aspecto realista, desagradou parte dos jogadores).

    Este é um daqueles jogos que será lembrado com muita nostalgia daqui a alguns anos e é um novo marco na história dos videogames. Não há palavras pra descrever esse game, é uma verdadeira obra-prima.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. For context I finally finished the Platinum trophy on this game back in July, so although I'd still not call myself anything like an authority, I've played this game and its online mode A LOT since it came out, and about to dive in again for the story updates.

    Single player. I'll start with the obvious. Do you enjoy story driven cut-scene heavy games? Because this game has a lot of this, and it moves at its own pace. This is not a fast game. It's a beautiful huge game that rewards over weeks, even months of play, even after the single player story is done, because there are hundreds of things to do to 100% it, and there is the online game to move to.
    Graphics, music, acting, animations, cut-scenes all amazing.. blah blah, everyone knows. But is the game 'fun'? For me, finally, yes. But on the condition that you are fine with a slower pace. There's limited fast travel early on so you'll be doing a lot of travelling. If you're not a player that can face traversing on a horse through massive but beautiful landscapes early on then.. you probably won't even complete the first 3 or 4 chapters let alone story, and miss out on so much. It might be very boring to you. For me, it's a near-masterpiece. I say 'near', because it's got issues..

    After all this time, I still don't like all the controls. They're just janky at times. You can't do some things very 'quickly'. Want to change a weapon load out on the fly quickly? Nope, not very well. Some of the animations can also become irritating after a while, like skinning animals. After the 000th time seeing it play the whole thing... and doing the hunting tasks for a Plat trophy too? holy... so lack of skippable things is a pain. And the menu's. There's probably 3 or 4 too many steps in some of the screens, which can become a pain. Also doing the platinum trophy itself is absolutely a chore for some of its elements, be it the gambling challenges (Blackjack and Dominos are painful because based more around your 'luck' than anything you can control), hunting, whatever, and all the collectables.

    The plat trophy is immense, but there's also a TON of things to do, and it's a rewarding challenge to get it done. Your girlfriend will respect you for the full 2 hours after you achieve it before she finally decides to leave you because you've spent 2 months on the game instead of her.

    Online. I played the beta early on in Dec or Jan 2018, and then kind of put it a way for a while. It wasn't ready, and then it became 'more' ready, and as of today, with its season passes and Moonshiner role, it's really getting there. I've sunk over 200 hours in, and it's had issues: camp won't spawn, not enough animals, issues with $$ exploits, XP won't arrive properly (bounty hunter role missions). The fact is though, for a new person coming to online, a lot of this has been addressed by Rockstar and there's now a TON of stuff to do from its own story missions (bank robbery is a highlight), various stranger requests, of course the PVP modes, of which there are a ton if that's your thing and finally, the 'roles' you can choose to level: bounty hunter, collector, trader now Moonshiner business. Online is also faster, with quicker animations, reloading, etc so it's zippier than single player now, which it needs to be if you're expected to play with or against other human players. And there's a ton of content even I've yet to play just added from the recently released PC port (which had its own issues).

    I was thinking a strong 8 owing to some of the issues, but this will get a 9 for all its online content, the 'world', all it's pro's: visuals, acting, story, and I think they outweigh some of the issues: controls, the repetitive grind on some of the Plat trophy stuff, the repetitive animations (skinning animals), and the menu's that have too many steps. For the low price this game currently retails, for me its an essential purchase but given some of the conditions I said earlier.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Великолепная игра. Может быть герои и не так хорошо прописаны и ты понимаешь их только при повторном прохождении, но это компенсируется отличной графикой, игрой актёров, музыкальным сопровождением, кастомизацией, оружиями, конями, механикой игры, вниманием разработчиков к деталям.

    А сюжет просто восхитителен. Первая глава про то, как бандиты скитаются в заснеженных горах. Во второй и третьей главах ты начинаешь осознавать цивилизацию. В четвёртый ты переезжаешь в огромный город Сен-Дени и поражаешься тому, сколько разработчики уделили внимания к игре. Но после дерзкого ограбления в Сен-Дени путешествие вообще не заканчивается и подкидывает неожиданный поворот номер 1. Корабль рушится и ты уже просыпаешься на острове Гуарма в плену. Шестая глава (как по мне так самая лучшая) проясняет все загадки и даёт тебе просто незабываемые чувства, а после смерти Артура действительно хочется рыдать. И после всего этого тебя переносит на несколько лет вперёд, Где начинается геймплей за Джона Марстона. Мне эпилог не сильно понравился, но я могу сказать, что это самая необычная глава, где ты играешь в основном лишь за простого фермера, для которого самое важное в жизни это только семья. А последняя миссия в RDR2 это просто шедевр.

    Red Dead 2 is objectively amazing. Though, after playing Skyrim and The Witcher 3 I didn't feel like I was really free. The world is really big and I knew that I was in the States, but in scale it felt little compared to the States, and it's not the biggest problem.

    But you know why? The game is absolutely enormous, the main and the history are touching and more if you choose to be good

The game is technically amazing - beyond comparison. So much care and love has gone into it - and it has pushed my poor PS4 to its limits. There are so many amazing experiences in the game. So many hours of fun and exploration. However, there's also a lot of banal time-wasting in a sea of nothingness. The real problem with the game is as a sandpit experience it's brilliant. You could live this life and never feel discontent. However, the game forces you (literally) to take an extremely linear 'scripted' approach to playing that it becomes a war of wills - if you submit to the 'my way or the highway' approach, then you will enjoy... otherwise you will never get to enjoy what this game offers. For a vast open world game - the 1P experience downright punishes you for being bold. As a result it is programmed for the weakest players to complete - which means you feel like you're playing a TT game more than an open world game. What I found particularly egregious was that you would start an innocuous sounding mission only to find that you are now embarked on a 4 mission marathon... without any opportunity to save or take a pause. Great if you're the only one using the PS4, but like most people you need to share, which doesn't work well when you can't save progress or pause between missions. I undestand the narrative pace part... but please... we live in the real world. The other thing that was annoying about this game was that there's never any real increase in difficulty - it's only more and more enemy. To the point where I seriously doubt anyone could keep track of the number of people that Arthur guns down... which is at complete odds with the whole redemption arc that is forced upon the character. So there's a lot I didn't like (in fact hated) about this game... however, I WAS one of those that was prepared to just invest my time in the 'experience' and go along for the ride. Oh - but if you've not played it... the one advice I would give is that don't worry about money - or how to spend it. This is perhaps the most badly designed part of the game as it completely undermines the entire premise of the story. Stoopid. Just completely stoopid. As a I right this - I wonder why I gave it a 9... but it's for all those moments of joy... and just cringe-worthy fantasy-living experiences.

    Edit - on reflection, I actually think the limitations and constraints imposed on the 1P game really detract from the experience - in an otherwise brilliant game: dropped from 9/10 to 8/10

    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]
