    There’s really a lot to review here, so I’ll use a bullet-point format to cut out the fluff:

    GOOD: —Story. Very well-written, I cared about the characters, it started and ended well, and there wasn’t a big drop off in the middle. It maintained an excellent air of tension in the face of decline. Epilogue Part 2 was really, really, really excellent. —Graphics. Beautiful game. —Music.

    GOOD:
    —Story. Very well-written, I cared about the characters, it started and ended well, and there wasn’t a big drop off in the middle. It maintained an excellent air of tension in the face of decline. Epilogue Part 2 was really, really, really excellent.
    —Graphics. Beautiful game.
    —Music. Well done.

    However, even with these good points, my score was going to be a 7 (until I hit Epilogue Part II, which I just loved and brought the game back up to an 8). I was going to give it a 7 for these reasons:

    BAD:
    —Really clunky, awkward controls. In the balance between ‘cinematic’ and ‘precise’ movement, the game is too far towards ‘cinematic’. They try to correct this during a gunfight by using the world’s most aggressive auto-aim adjustment, meaning you only have to aim within ten or fifteen degrees of a target and your cursor will snap right on him. This makes the game a smidge too easy when you’re winning, and frustrating when you’re losing. The most common reason I died was because I was mashing R1 trying to get behind something as cover and instead of doing that, my character was gracefully and cinematically adjusting his weight, a movement that lasts the length of a solar body’s rotation around the center of the universe.
    —The characters chatting as they rode their horses to the next objective. Look, this is just a personal preference, but I listen to sermons as I play games, and having the characters constantly chat at me meant I couldn’t focus on the sermons. I would have preferred it if they had cut out making me ride my horse to the objective entirely, and instead had made all the dialogue part of a single cutscene and showed a scene of us riding to the location.
    —As you’re following your party to the next quest, even if you cut to Cinematic View to engage the auto-drive (which is not explained well in the game btw), you have to hold X so your horse will keep going. My thumb is stronger, and for that I owe you one, Rockstar. Now, if only I needed a strong thumb ever.

    So, it was a 7, but then Epilogue Part 2 happened, and now it’s an 8. Play the whole game just to play that epilogue. You won’t regret it.    … Expand

    It's a beautiful game. Rockstar have made a great job in RDR2. The caracters is incredible and the gameplay is fantastic. The only criticism about this game is the story is linear. I cannot make important decisions in the game.

The story is slowly paced in the beginning but it needed it to build the characters that are in there and I didn't think that it was a bad choice, it's intriguing and phenomenal. the characters are absolutely amazing and act in a realistic manner (especially in that setting). The only problem is that Ch.5 felt like it was out of place. the gameplay structure are repetitive and boring sometimes and it goes like this: Riding for minutes--settle in and sneak around--someone miss up the plan-- shooting starts-- Riding for minutes again to escape. This game execution is best I've played in terms of open world aspect.… Expand

    Absolute masterpiece of a game. Not perfect though, combat is super repetitive and can get boring, but the story is amazing, Arthur Morgan is probably the best written character I've ever played.
    Soundtrack is great, graphics are mindblowing, the amount of detail put into this game is incredible.
    Most immersive open world video game imo

    Wow. I cannot say enough about this game. I don't even know where to start. For me, RDR2 is the greatest game I have ever played in a lot of ways. Here are a few:

    Characters/Story: I'll start out by saying this - yes, the story is a bit predictable but only because if you played the first RDR, you know where some of these characters end up. (I'm only mentioning this because I've seen    Wow. I cannot say enough about this game. I don't even know where to start. For me, RDR2 is the greatest game I have ever played in a lot of ways. Here are a few:

    Characters/Story: I'll start out by saying this - yes, the story is a bit predictable but only because if you played the first RDR, you know where some of these characters end up. (I'm only mentioning this because I've seen quite a few reviews harping about the story's "predictable" timeline). And while I agree that it's pretty easy to see where it's going by the time you're about halfway through, it's how we get there that defines this campaign's prestige. I've never been so engulfed by the main character(s) of a video game and their stories than I was with Arthur Morgan and the rest of the gang. Their histories, friendships, inside jokes, and personalities are all encompassed throughout the story, and it all culminates to a fitting, beautifully written ending in the final chapter. I felt like I was really a part of this gang and it brought out real emotions when something happened, good or bad. The cut scenes are breathtaking, and sometimes it's easy to forget that you have a controller in your hand because of Rockstar's commitment to a cinematic experience. The story is rich from start to finish, and even after hundreds of hours playing, you will only be wishing for more.

    Setting: I'm sure everyone has heard about the size of RDR2's map by now. And the beauty. So I won't go on and on about it. It's huge. It's breathtaking. It's gorgeous. And at times, it's even terrifying. No other game lives up I will promise all new players one thing. You will have AT LEAST one (probably more) moment during your campaign, where you stop for a minute or two and just say to yourself "Damn". For me, it was the first thunderstorm I witnessed while I was roaming the plains and the first time I trotted into bustling Saint Denis.

    Details: Pay. Attention. It's not super critical to the advancement of the main plot, but you WILL be rewarded with hints, theories, and simply entertaining interactions if you pay attention to things like background conversations, posters on walls, animals in the distance, etc. For example, there's a background convo in one of the towns where 2 neighbors argue about a barking dog that makes me crack up every time. If you're one that likes to flesh out little details like this, you will be rewarded!

    I could go on and on. I've already remembered several things to add to the paragraphs above, but for the sake of time and character-length I will leave those things for you to discover. I will just leave you with 7 simple words that my best friend gave me almost 2 years ago. YOU SHOULD BUY RED DEAD REDEMPTION TWO. The world is vast and daunting at first, but if you're up for the challenge, this game will not disappoint.

    Ох, как же много я бы хотел о ней сказать...Постараюсь впихнуть все свои наигранные 430 часов в небольшой обзор.

    Декабрь 2018 года я узнаю о новой игре от Rockstar Games про дикий запад. И вот дождавшись релиза на боярской платформе и собрав новый ПК, я приобрёл на тот момент уже признанный шедевр.
    С первых часов игры я понял, что меня ждут незабываемые приключения. Я восхищался всем: замечательная кинематографическая графика, потрясающая постановка, звук, огромный, хорошо проработанный, и, наверное, лучший открытый мир на сегодняшний день, ну и конечно сюжет. Складывалось впечатление, что я смотрю фильм Квентина Тарантино, все сцены поставлены очень качественно. Всем участникам банды предоставляется время, вы быстро запоминаете их имена. Артур Морган стал моим любимым персонажем игр и остаётся им до сих пор. Никаких уровней, никакого гринда, игрок может просто проходить сюжет, не отвлекаясь на квесты и прочее. Но я так делать не советую, квесты и активности в открытом мире получились не хуже основный сюжетной линии.

    Нельзя сказать, что игра очень динамичная, это не GTA, где бесконечные перестрелки и погони. Как раз наоборот. Меня она зацепила своим размеренным и неторопливым геймплеем и повествованием. Игра не притягивает вас сочащимся со всех щелей экшеном и нереальными спецэффектами, тут фишка как раз в обратном, в реальности происходящего. В мире всегда что-то происходит, здесь всё ведет себя очень аутентично. Я просто офигел когда узнал, что у каждого горожанина есть свой распорядок дня.

    Так же немного добавлю о Red Dead Online. Особо там делать нечего: небольшой сюжет, квесты, фарм, баги и читеры(немного, но есть). Одному играть быстро наскучит, но если есть тот, с кем вы собрались покорять дикий запад и выявить кто из вас лучший стрелок, онлайн режим может доставить удовольствие.

    И что в итоге? Red Dead Redemption 2 - это самая красивая, самая продуманная, самая взрослая игра Rockstar. Игра, которую без преувеличений можно назвать искусством. Такие игры выходят раз в 5-10 лет, нельзя пропустить такое.

RDR2 tem um dos mundos mais incríveis que já vi. Os NPCS carregando madeira por Saint Dennis, conversando, saindo bebados do bar, etc etc e etc.
    A história? Nem tenho o que dizer. No começo, você apenas quer laçar pessoas e matar. Mas com o sistema de honra que te deixa mal a cada npc morto por você sem motivo, você se importa cada vez mais com o mundo. E até o final da história, você realmente fica mal pelo final do jogo.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, where do I even begin with this one?

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is nothing short of flawless. It captures your heart in it's opening moments as protagonist Arthur Morgan and the rest of the Van der Linde gang mourn the loss of one of it's members, Davey, as they struggle to find shelter in the middle of a blizzard on the run from America's coming of civility. At this moment, my heart was captured and Red Dead Redemption 2 held onto it right up until it's very last breath's - nothing a video game has ever done for me before.

    I originally played this game right as the clock struck midnight on October 26, 2018 on PS4 and have dumped many more hours into it on PC and still play it regularly to this day, whether it be fooling around with mods or goofing around with friends in the rather lackluster Red Dead Online, but I'm not going to be reviewing that today. RDR2 is one of the most authentic experiences ever. It's down to earth and it's human. Every single character, whether it be a random NPC who triggers a side quest or a member of camp, is fully realised with goals, aspirations, morals, ideologies and more. They're made to feel human and Rockstar does an incredible job of developing each character's personality to match the circumstances of the story throughout the game. Without spoiling too much, the Arthur you play as in Chapter 1 & 2 is not the same man you're playing as in Chapter 4 and is completely different again come Chapter 6. The world adapts to you more so than you adapt to it and that's this games' biggest strength. Commit a crime in Valentine and get away; come back a few days later and the Sheriff will question you about your actions if you're recognised, every NPC has a fully scripted routine that they follow and they will react in a variety of ways depending on how you interrupt that routine. The long, lonely stretches of land, watching the wind get torn in half by you on your horse is a sight to behold and the townships and cities that inhabit RDR2's game world are sprawling with lively characters to meet, activity's to participate in and crimes to commit. This is a game where no detail is left untouched; it is absolutely uncanny the amount of time it must've taken to realise every nook and cranny this world has to offer from the cinematic train heists to Dutch Van der Linde's, the gang's charismatic leader, an idealist of a new world, descent into madness as he falls victim to his own arrogance and the toxicity of the ego fueling psychopathic traitor Micah Bell. There are twists and turns in this story that you will not expect and some events are thrown at you so quickly you don't even know they hit you. You feel so connected, so engrossed in this virtual world that no other game has come close to replicating before. You feel the magnitude of every decision you make and eventually it will wear numb until Rockstar hands you a rude awakening and you're made to step back and look at the bigger picture. The way this games' story is told is nothing short of magnificent, props to Dan and Sam Houser and the rest of the narrative team crafting such an intricate and beautiful story about human nature.

    Obviously though, this is a video game, right? You can have the most beautiful world with the most amazing story being told in the world but if it's not fun to play then you won't be able to enjoy the game, right? Well, luckily RDR2 nails it in this department to. Micromanaging your horse, your beard, your hair and your weight never feels like a chore because it's never truly forced upon you, it's simply there if you wish to utilise it for increased immersion, rarely is any of it made a necessity. Riding your horse, which is what you'll spend a majority of the game doing, feels natural and intuitive and you can tell Rockstar took what they did well in the first game back in 2010 and updated it to give it a more modern feel while retaining that smooth feeling RDR1 had to it. The gunplay went rather unchanged and I know this was an annoyance for some people, but for me personally I think the gunplay was perfect the way it was and Rockstar didn't need to change it. They found themselves a serviceable system, tightened it up for eighth gen standards and ran with it and I didn't have a problem with that at all - don't fix it if it ain't broke. Most importantly in an open world game, interacting with the world around you feels seamless, it's like the world jumps at you right when you want it to and shies away when it knows you need some peace. I seriously have nothing to complain about here, all praise from me.

    Finally, the soundtrack. Oh my god. Some of the most memorable and emotional moments are heightened because of the superb selection of tracks that play just at the right moments and really engulf you in the mind of Arthur Morgan. It makes you empathise with him and the people around him on a whole new level, it is truly spectacular.

    It is an absolute masterpiece. 10/10.    … Expand

    I experienced the most realistic world in video games history in Rockstar's red dead redemption 2. Even the fast travel system feels so real.

Not to ramble on or sound cliche but I don't ever think I will play a game as good as this again. I still watch RDR2 related content although I've taken a break from single-player and online. I played the game daily for nearly 2 years after its release inspecting of inch of what Rockstar and these wonderful actors created. I'm honestly thankful for the experience.… Expand

The Epilogue is just awesome I was so disappointed when Arthur Morgan died but oh boy din't they just nail that Epilogue with John Marston starting off as ranch worker and eventually showing how he built his own ranch. I spent days after completing the game just to improve my ranch when a game makes you open after beating it's story mode you know it's one of the best game ever. No one can't beat R* on Game design.

    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]
