    Wow. This is the best game I have played so far in my life. Open world and story driven games are my favourite games so of course I'm going to love this. If you don't enjoy story games then you wont like this. Because - The story - AMAZING, long and detailed. The acting - AMAZING (and i dont say that often, i can pick up a **** actor on tv etc instantly and they often ruin it for me) TheWow. This is the best game I have played so far in my life. Open world and story driven games are my favourite games so of course I'm going to love this. If you don't enjoy story games then you wont like this. Because - The story - AMAZING, long and detailed. The acting - AMAZING (and i dont say that often, i can pick up a **** actor on tv etc instantly and they often ruin it for me) The graphics AMAZING and even the movements and facial expressions of Arthur, your horse and the other characters (even NPCs and wild animals too) are fantastic. The hunting system is great, its difficult to kill some tiny animals with a bloody bow and arrow but it makes it fun, so if you dont fancy doing some missions for a bit you can go hunting or do some challenges. The cooking/crafting system was strange at first but it makes sense and is quite simple really and quite enjoyable.
    This game is so realistic. It can be a very hard learning curve at the start and to be honest i nearly gave up this game after the first hour it really got on my nerves, specially when riding through towns and i kept knocking people over and getting bounties and witnesses to minor crimes (that was the most annoying bit throughout the game in all honesty) however i persevered and after a day or 2 i had learnt all the controls and nuances and I'm so glad I did.
    The missions are most of the time, different, and unexpected things happen in them. They can also be really long. The last few took me a week to complete, in fact I've been playing this game for the last 7 months, pretty much every other day with maybe the odd week break and that is how long its taken me to complete it - ive not got 100% im at 86.5 or something but ive done all the stranger and side missions that i have found, got all but the last legendary animal, done around half the challenges and explored the total map.
    Storywise - Arthur has been the best character I have seen in any video game. Theres so many funny lines that he says throughout the game aswell - he is a sarcastic lovable character. I think the most fun mission for me in this game is the one in the bar in Valentine with Lennie. After the game ended I had to watch this again.
    Yes it has some negatives, i think overall its an easy game to beat and maybe some difficulty settings would have been better here. Also the wanted system is very annoying, especially when committing train robberies - you have a bag over your head in a long underground train tunnel yet no lawmen are there and they somehow know its you before they even arrive. Nearly every time I have tried a train robbery my bounty was more than what I earned from it. This game is ABOUT a gang of criminals and the game makes it totally difficult to commit any crimes at all, if not even trying to steer you away from doing that. I suppose it makes sense given the various endings though but still.
    As a female I would have liked MORE FEMALE LEAD characters having a bigger role. Yeh its set in the late 1700’s and yes women were left behind in that era however the game was made in 2018. I thought Sadie was a great character and would have loved a bit more of that. Not even many stranger missions or encounters were from females. Apart from the ones that always needed saving, so Rockstar this would have been more ideal.
    Lack of fast travel for the most part of this game was quite annoying too - and made the game take so long. Only near the end of the game (i bought it 2nd hand) Rockstar introduced the fast travel (and photo mode which is fun too) it should have been in the game from the start. The auto equipping of weapons is annoying too. I would put some guns on my back ready for something, id get off the horse because i would come across someone that needs saving, id get there then i would have no guns on me! The game takes them off you for some reason if your still sat on your horse. Its similar for missions too and loads you up with random ones and not the ones you want. Another main annoyance is that half of the map is un-explorable until the main story ends and there is only one stranger mission that I have encountered here and I’ve ran around everywhere on this side of the map. Bit of a waste really and 3 legendary animals are on this side aswell which seems pointless as you can make trinkets out of them but don’t really have any use of them for many missions. A very minor thing that I would have liked is that Arthurs hair doesn't have a length limit! Why does it when everything else in the game is so detailed. even your horse has different hair lengths and colours to choose from lol
    In conclusion, Despite the negatives I'm really sad that I have finished the game now i wish it would carry on and on and on haha. Well done to Rockstar for this game, PLEASE make your next one as good as this - storywise especially. Arthur will always have a special place in my heart hahaha    … Expand

    the game is good. but there is one minus: at first the horse is astonishing with its intellect. but then it infuriates. she constantly throws off you constantly slows down especially on the rocks. but basically the game is good. here I’m just not sharing it with those who don’t appreciate story games and sandboxes.

    Red dead redemption is my favorite game. Rdr has beautiful graphics and beautiful story line but every time you have to ride 10 or 15 minutes from place to place it makes it boring, looong prologue makes, long walking, long second chapter.

    This game is brilliant. It is so immersive with its beautiful world and great music and overall ambiance. The story is amazing and happily took up my life for a month. It is a true unique experience and i have no interest in westerns in general but this was so cool and i will recommend to all gamers.

    After 60+ hours of intense, epic game play over a vast canvas of stunning locations, I finished Red Dead Redemption 2 on PS4 and immediately wanted to play it again. A sublime, crowning achievement for Rockstar Games. Full-on masterpiece in every sense of the word: sensational graphics, biting dialogue, immensely fun quests, and brilliant story twists. A must-have for any PS4 owner!

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption 2 has to be my favorite game ever. Arthur Morgan is one of the best characters ever made, really well developed in the 50 gameplay hours. The conflict between good and bad, the decadence of the gang.
    This world is well made, full of things, affected by the real events that happened in America in the end of the 19th century. The animals show a deep research. One of the details that I love is Arthur's journal, that (to me) made a real difference in the gameplay, by knowing his thoughts.
    We start the game in a happy, fun atmosphere, and by the end we feel the tension and melancholy that takes over the camp. We see our companions, who we robbed with, or even got drunk with being replaced by people that we got no trust, and that made me going to the camp the less I could.
    There are some different quests with fun mechanics, that makes the gameplay be more varied. The customisable character is a cool addition. The mini games like poker and blackjack gives you some The Witcher 3 vibes.
    By the end, this game made question something: was Dutch a bad person? Was Hosea his balance? Or did Micah changed him?    … Expand

With 200 hours of my first playthrough, I am very excited to start a second playthrough soon. If you ever get the mere opportunity to buy the game, do it. The game should be worth 80 dollars. Game didn't crash once and I had no technical issues whatsoever. Should have won game of the year in 2018, and is the best of the decade. My favorite game, and the definition of the open world genre.

    DIFFICULTY: Normal
    The difficulty is fair, you need general knowledge on shooting but overall the tutorial teaches the mechanics and features pretty well, though the tutorial is basically the first short chapter.

    GRAPHICS: 10/10, Masterpiece
    This is the greatest graphics in a game I will go as far as saying, especially on PC. Whenever you are walking around to a mission, from a mission, to a point of interest, or just wandering around (which I do reccomend) you will be stunned and never be let down in the setting and environment. Makes it a blast to do 100% completion, which is basically just wandering around.

    STORY: 10/10, Masterpiece
    The characters, world, plot, I cannot describe. Simply wonderful

    SOUND/MUSIC: 10/10, I am crying
    If Rockstar failed on the music, this game would have no depth, and loose a lot of why it is a Masterpiece today. Everytime the soundtrack kicks in, I just get a feeling, a feeling that makes me feel so good and truly immerses me. Every time it plays, I feel like I am sucked into my monitor and become Arthur Morgan. Most of the parts I can't say due to spoilers (I want to make sure many people see this and buy the game), but oh my god the music is so great, one of the best reasons why this is my favorite game of all time.

    LENGTH: 40-300 Hours, its up to you
    At about 170 hours I finished my first playthrough and that was doing most of the stranger missions, entire story, exploring, and much, much more. If you are a type of person who plays story mission after story mission, compeltely ignoring the thousands of other things to do in this world, (which I heavily do not reccomend at all), then it will take 30-50 hours. But please, explore just a bit and do some stranger missions, or be like me and take your time, about an hour in between each mission.

    PRICE: Underpriced
    Most people will be mad at that, but thats only because they don't want to pay more money. I believe it should be worth a little more due to the amount of things you can do in this world. But a company wouldn't do that due to basically all AAA games being 60 dollars.

    ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
    -Gameplay seemed hard at first, but after a little bit I got used to it, wasn't confusing to me at all after
    -Extremely detailed, even places you go to for like an hour and arent even in the main map
    -There are a few times you make a desicion, but I am completely fine with that as it shows that it is the story based it game it should be

    In conclusion, this does nothing close to dissapoint, you will be stunned at the environment, very immersed in the story and times the soundtrack plays, which is extremely fitting, spend a ton of time in the game (if you finish it, which you should, and overall be getting a once in a lifetime experience.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best, if not the best game I have ever played. It has a vast open world, a rich story, and great characters. It's only flaw is that sometimes it takes it's self too seriously, like looting cabinets. Red Dead 2 is a must buy and better than the original game.

    -Nearly impossible to play missions without using the mini-map (for example; when a character tells you to hide somewhere, you have to hide in a VERY specific spot which removes player choice and is somewhat infantilizing)
    -Outdated fighting mechanics (enemies act retarded and are really easy to kill and kind of boring)
    -Very little player choice
    -Missions got redundant toward the late-mid game

    The Confusing:
    -(Personal opinion) The bizarre social justice themes R added in the game. Arthur Morgan kills thousands of people, if not tens of thousands throughout his life, yet deeply cares about racism and women's voting rights? Then goes on to say how he wants nothing to do with politics. Seemed... forced.    … Expand

It's a no-expense-spared AAA experience set after the American Civil war. The game has not tiptoed away from portraying the period and characters with authenticity and that's very refreshing. The detail of the world and everything in it is unmatched. Exploring every nook and cranny is a joy that is likely to be rewarded with loot or some interesting encounter. There is enough recorded dialog to fill a dozen feature films and all of it is excellent. The writing is always pitch perfect. It's a masterpiece.

    But is it fun? If you like westerns like The Unforgiven and if you like deep first-person adventure RPGs (you can also play it in 3rd person, if you like) such as Kingdom Come: Deliverance, then this is definitely the game for you. It is a slow-paced game, and not exactly challenging, but the immersion is beyond what any other game has managed to acheive. If you're looking for fast-paced action and thrills, this might not be your cup of tea. For me, it's hands-down one of the best games I've ever played.    … Expand

    I don't normally play video games that are heavily story orientated, as I can almost always get a much better story experience from a movie or a tv show, however the character writing and artistic choices this game makes combines the developing characters slowly building over a long period of time, such as tv shows like breaking bad, whilst combining the cinematic scope found in movies.I don't normally play video games that are heavily story orientated, as I can almost always get a much better story experience from a movie or a tv show, however the character writing and artistic choices this game makes combines the developing characters slowly building over a long period of time, such as tv shows like breaking bad, whilst combining the cinematic scope found in movies. This also has beautiful art inspired by paintings of that era with sprawling landscapes and stylised skies. This is combined with a fun combat system, which although could have done with more options provides a great amount of pleasure to be had. It isnt quite as expansive of an open world as a game like breath of the wild, where your choices feel truly individual to you, however if you have played that you know that the story kinda sucks and thats where this outshines it. In conclusion its very hard not to love this game with its options for hunting, crafting gunplay etc and provides a truly immersive and hard to hate world alongside realistic characters and writing. This is what video games are all about and is one of my favourites in this ever changing art form.… Expand

I personally didn't like the first chapter, but I kept playing and I was greatly rewarded with the chapters after chapter 1.

    About the controls. Yes it feels slow, but what did you expect? It isn't a Call of Duty game or a modern shooter. You can't run around with the pace of a Ferrari, it is realistic.

    About shooting. I understand why people didn't like the shooting, I agree with the auto-aim problem which is too much. But it has everything that a good western shooter should have.

    About the reviews of the empty world. For those with a review about the empty world, you shouldn't have bought this game. IT IS A WESTERN, what the hell did you expect? It isn't 2020, in my opinion it has the perfect amount of places to visit things, things to do etc. In about every mile or so you have a stranger mission or an easter egg or something like that. Also the amount of people say that you have to travel too much is just absurd. Ofcourse it takes a long time, but in that time you can truly appreciate the details and the amazing graphics of this game.

Arthur’s development is magnificent, making the player to empathize with him during his evolution along the game. His relationship with the members of the Van der Linde gang is really interesting, with some funny situations.
    In order to avoid spoilers, the main history starts pretty well, but during the middle chapters lose some interest. Despite this, the game has a good rhythm until finished it.
    The world is huge, full of missions and things to do (hunting, fishing, bounty hunter, side quests, etc.). The level of detail in the graphics is overwhelming. Maybe one of the best in all the generation. Do not forget to mention the soundtrack, which is pretty good, especially in some emotional moments.
    The game gives you the chance to play it in 1º or 3º person. In my case, I only played in 3º person, so I can’t say a lot about the other mode. Arthur’s moves are very realistic, as well as the horses he has. The shooting and duels phases are very dynamic, but I found some fails in the cover system. Like in the first game, the Dead Eye system will be our best friend during these situations.
    It is a spectacular game, which will delight all the fans and a great chance to get in the Wild West created by Rockstar.    … Expand

The tragic story of Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang was told so masterfully. The game is open world, but you can pretty much play RDR2 as a linear game and just focus on the main and stranger missions. My suggestion is to play all the stranger missions, except for the collection missions, because the stranger missions do come into play and tell you more about Arthur himself. Read Arthur's journal occasionally after each mission to know what Arthur thinks about everything that happened. Play as honorably as possible as it is meant to be played. But if you choose to explore the open world, prepare to get your minds blown as it throws all other open world games out of the water. There's so many side content that it's best to find it all online. The story is where it's at for RDR2. One of the best narrative games, period.… Expand

    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]
