    This game is simply beautiful. Everything about the game is near perfection. The story is amazing, the environment is incredible, the characters are unforgettable. Rockstar absolutely knocked this out of the park. One of the best games I've ever played.

    My expectations were extremely high leading up to the release of Red Dead Redemption II, the first Red Dead game was easily my second favourite game of all time and I've been a gamer of 30+ years now.

    Its clear right from the beginning the astonishing amount of detail is unparalleled in any other open world game this gen. In your first few moments in the game, footprints in the snow,    My expectations were extremely high leading up to the release of Red Dead Redemption II, the first Red Dead game was easily my second favourite game of all time and I've been a gamer of 30+ years now.

    Its clear right from the beginning the astonishing amount of detail is unparalleled in any other open world game this gen. In your first few moments in the game, footprints in the snow, to the lighting from your torches reflecting as you explore your surroundings on the mountain, this game is an immersive treat right from the opening scene.

    After some character introductions on the mountain, both new and returning characters, which is such a huge fan service to anyone who loved the first RDR and want to know some of the returning characters back stories, the visuals become even more stunning as you and your gang make your way onto greener pastures. Every blade of grass, every sunset, every thunder storm, every animal and every npc feel like they are a part of another world with their own purpose.

    Without spoiling too much, I cannot believe how many random interactions I've come across that are completely unexpected. How I've went completing main story mission, to finding a cult long expired, reading their mass suicide note and then seeing a UFO above you. Or helping a random person who is clearly in rough shape, unable to stay on their own horse, then taking them to a doctor, only to watch an amputation of a guys arm with a saw and then see the doctor throw it in a garbage can afterwards. There are so many moments that in RDR2 that make several other decent open world games from this gen seem like they're recycling random npc actions.

    I've found that it is so easy to sit down and intend to play for just an hour and lose 4 real world hours. Its very clear that Rockstar has redefined the open world genre once again with RDR2 this gen.

    The writing of the main story missions is on point, if the scenes were being presented on Netflix, its likely you'd be watching it right now. A big part of that is the voice acting which is some of the best of this gen. Arthur Morgan comes off as more rough around the edges than John but a protector of the group and a supporter of Dutch Van Der Linde's ideals.

    Its been argued that this game has a slower pace but I feel more people should stop to watch a sunset a little more often, sit and listen to the hilarious campfire songs like 'Ring Dang Doo' and take in everything that was masterfully crafted within this whole other world that I'm almost certain we'll all be talking about for years to come as people are still finding new random things.

    For me, this game somehow managed to exceed my expectations, its not flawless, nothing ever is but considering everything that I've seen, Red Dead Redemption II is an absolute generation defining masterpiece that should be invested into with your time and a keen eye for detail.    … Expand

    The world is very detailed and very beautiful!
    At first, it may seem very complex, but the game explains it all.
    In my opinion it is a masterpiece of Rockstar, but I would like the game to have more cheats, such as the time-changing cheat it had in Red Dead Redemption.

    I'm well into Chapter 3 as I type this and the more I play the more I realize this game isn't a 9 or 10 game. I'm not even sure it's an 8, even though that's where I'm going to round my score to; I'd give it a 7.5 if I could do half scores.

    Pros: + Beautiful open world + Engaging story, though the protagonist is extremely dense + Open world elements present to the player organically    I'm well into Chapter 3 as I type this and the more I play the more I realize this game isn't a 9 or 10 game. I'm not even sure it's an 8, even though that's where I'm going to round my score to; I'd give it a 7.5 if I could do half scores.

    Pros:
    + Beautiful open world
    + Engaging story, though the protagonist is extremely dense
    + Open world elements present to the player organically rather than as a checklist of things to collect/do.

    Cons:
    - Minutia bogs down every aspect of the game.
    - Gunplay is horrid, significantly worse than the first.
    - Wildly inconsistent crime system.

    The pros speak for themselves, but I must elaborate on the cons. From the very onset of the game, it's made clear that you will be spending a large amount of your playtime managing the minutia of gameplay systems. Wear the appropriate clothing so you're not too hot or cold, or you'll lose stamina. Brush your horse or your horse loses stamina. Eat regularly or you'll lose health and stamina, but don't eat too much or you'll become overweight and have less stamina. Hunt for the camp, pay money for the camp, upgrade the camp (no one else does). Shave and bathe or the townsfolk won't interact with you positively. Clean your guns or they'll lose stats and eventually jam. Make sure you hunt silently and stay downwind so your scent doesn't startle your prey (or use scent masker).

    These systems start out enjoyable but devolve into complete tedium within a few hours -- and they NEVER let up. The quality of the story telling is bogged down entirely by the constant need to play Camping and Outlaw Simulator 1899.

    Also one of the most frustrating elements of the game is the crime system and how inconsistent it is. A couple examples: At one point I forgot to stow my Lancaster Repeater on my saddlebags and accidentially walked into the town of Strawberry holding it. A townsfolk decided I was disturbing the peace by doing so and ran to tell the Sheriff. I thought nothing of it, concluded my business, and left town. Moments later, I had a $10 bounty on my head and lawmen closing in on every side, shooting at me indiscriminantly, all for a disturbing the peace charge. Riding down the road in the second chapter, an O'Driscall man opened fire on me as I passed by and knocked my horse out from under me. I killed him in self defense and hid the body in the woods. A few moments later, after I'm LONG gone from the area, I get a notification that a crime has been reported and I'm wanted for murder with a $40 bounty. Despite no one having seen me there beyond the guy I shot dead.

    These incidents happen frequently. Defending yourself in fist fights or gun fights often ends up with YOU being the target of law. Even if you have high honor and no other bounties on your head. Then sometimes you can get into a fistfight in the middle of town, beat a guy to death, and get no repurcussions at all.

    Rockstar has always been hit-or-miss with their gunplay mechanics and when they initially released the first RDR in 2010 I was scared it would be a miss. Pleasantly the gun play in that game was top notch, better than most other Rockstar games. The same cannot be said for RDR2. The gun mechanics are back to the same old GTA5, sluggish, awful, design that leans heavily on aim assist to be useful. Even Dead Eye is a shell of its former self. I find myself avoiding gunfights entirely because the gunplay is so underwhelming and unrewarding.

    Unlike the first game, I'm not finding myself wanting to complete every challenge, or find every herb, or upgrade every item. The minutia has had an opposite effect on my play. I have one maxed horse and I couldn't give a damn about any others. I'm not busting my ass to buy item upgrades and I'm no longer bothering with camp chores because I'm only going back to camp when I have to launch story missions. It's easier to stay in a hotel or camp out anyway. The first RDR is a game I happily platinumed; RDR2 is a game I'll probably play once and never play again.    … Expand

    It's a good but flawed open-world title. Certainly superior to several of those mediocrities that have come out this generation (I'm looking at you, Mass Effect: Andromeda and The Witcher 3), but it could've used shoring up in a number of areas.

I expected GTA with cowboys and didn't expect to have to change my outlook or approach to playing this game. I would perhaps suggest tweaking the tedious activities like eating etc. a bit to lighten the burden or even suggest giving priority to certain safer actions in case of an ambiguous button press but then I'd be too constructive which wouldn't align with my culture of **** about everything. I could've given a provisional 9 until the little nags are fixed and the risk of of my controller hitting my flatscreen due to a few hiccups caused by ambitious design has been mitigated. This would however require me to be objective and wouldn't leave space for me sing the same old song about open world game mechanics being reused. Certainly those mechanics have always been fun and improved upon game after game, which is probably why so many people loved them. I however wanted something special, like the new ass perspective where I can see everything behind my character and use my intuition to sense the position of the enemies in front of me because first and third person is so yesterday. I also don't understand why there would be enemy camps etc. which all seems to mimic where enemies would've logically gathered in real life, instead of maybe having cowboy nests in oaktrees for example. I'd give the game an extra point for feeling the need to
    entertain political agendas seeing as I'm not trying to escape reality and the self-sabotaging unattractive demeanor of those who push them but I've deducted it for including pistols, carbines and tomahawks instead of snot bubble guns and light sabers which could very well have existed in 1899, these devs can be so unimaginative sometimes. Thank you Rockstar for 8 year's dedication just to disappoint my personal preferences, I'm sure you have no intention of ironing out any of the little bugs so scr*w you I'm going to play fortnite now.    … Expand

    This game is almost a perfect game for me, but I realize it is not everyone's cup of tea. The campaign is like being the protagonist in an amazing film. The quirkiness and depth to all the various characters is awesome. Personally, even though the story is very long, I found it engaging from start to finish. The parts outside of the campaign are where this game really asserts itself as one of the best I've ever played: The world is so incredibly alive and vivid, with incredibly beautiful views and interesting little stories to explore. I could spend hours roaming around hunting, fishing, and exploring random cabins. I've probably put in over 100 hours and I'm still enjoying it.

    The cons to this game are what prevents it from being 10/10:
    - a little buggy
    - unintuitive controls
    - clunky feel
    - tons of unexplained complicated inventory systems

    If you are looking for a shooter or high-paced action game, this is not the game for you.

    If you are looking for a character-driven open world exploration game, where you are a badass cowboy, you will love this game. This is one of the best rpg open world games ever made, and although the game can be clunky, i still find the shootouts extremely satisfying.

    This is a very deep game, there are several "mini-games" that could be fully featured on their own: hunting, fishing, gambling.

    The customization is also incredibly deep, from your guns, to your outfits, to the colour of the knob on your horses saddle - you can customize everything.

    I also disagree that there isn't a whole lot of choice given to you. You might not be able to change the story significantly, but whether you choose to do things the good or evil way is a very compelling component to the game. I legitimately felt regret when I was tasked with performing some evil actions to help my gang - not many games are able to evoke an emotional response in me.

    This is might be my favourite game of all time, I wanted to give it a 9.5/10, but settled on a 9 because there is some polishing that could be done. Users who don't understand that this isn't a shooter, this isn't gta - this is a story about a gang of quirky outlaws and finding your place in the world.    … Expand

I have been playing since day one and I am a little over 50% completion. Every NPC I have came across whether it was during a main quest, side quest or chance encounter have been remarkable. Every side quest I've done have always had an entertaining story and not just some generic npc with a fetch quest. All the voice acting is top notch and facial animations are great on ever npc I have come across. At first I didn't really care for Arthur as the main character because I wanted more of John but he really grows on you and I have really enjoyed his story. All the side content to keep you busy while progressing the story is amazing. I love hunting, fishing, playing poker and other games. The chance encounters really keep the experience refreshing because you never know what's going to happen as your out riding around on your horse. The main story is impressive, I enjoy the progression of Arthors story as well as learning more about the characters stories in my gang. The graphics are stunning, with the exception of the HDR mode. I will constantly find myself going off the trails and checking out the environments. The western music is great without being annoying. The controls are a lot better once you adjust them to your liking in the settings but the defaults are terrible. RDR2 is one of those games you can't rush into, should take your time to enjoy it and let things develop without only playing the main story. I'm looking forward to the 2nd half of the game and playing the multiplayer if a couple days, hopefully it's a better experience then GTAV multiplayer.… Expand

The only down side that I see in the game is the slow pace gameplay at in chapter 1, the game feels very restrictive and it's almost annoying. And there obviously a lot of bugs at the moment being a new game and all, but I expect them to be fixed sometime in the future.
    I highly recommend you get this game, if you like story driven games with a beautiful open world with lots to do and you wanna live your fantasy as an old western cowboy....Then Red Dead Redemption 2 is for you!    … Expand

They all say that the game is "clumsy", if they played a GTA game before they would find some similarities.

    As for the actual game, while not being perfect it is an amazing experience in almost every aspect. The story is pretty interesting and the open world is not only huge but also extremely immersive and full of encounters to make while traveling and events to partake in.

    The gunplay which plays a big role is really good. There is a total of almost 60 weapons from revolvers to rifles and an extensive customization of each gun. However I don't really understand why you can't buy a gun that is for sale unless you do some story mission or else.

    I wouldn't say the inventory system is bad but it definitely could use some improvements as finding something in particular can be tricky (especially starting out).

    Everyone said it at this point but yes, the game is really beautiful and the fact that while having amazing graphics it is really well optimized with an almost constant 30 FPS (unless you are in a big city for example, but it's still good), it is a sight for sore eyes. You also have to give credit to the incredible amount of details in this game : from the weapons you are carrying moving from side to side, the environment with the footprints in the snow and the grass moving with the breeze, It makes the game feel alive and really helps immersing yourself in this world.

    However the game do have some faults.
    For instance, while the main story will keep you interested it is a bit linear. I haven't played the first Red Dead Redemption, but the I found the witness system a bit extreme as if you press a wrong button you can hit a random person and be wanted for "unarmed assault" or worse. I had some bugs and glitch here and there but nothing game-breaking, but it's still frustrating when you need to silently takedown someone but pressing the button does nothing. Thankfully your allies do it for you if you take too much time. I also noticed something but after an early mission, you get a lot of money, thus breaking the economy a bit as you don't really need much more (unless you plan to buy yourself a lot of clothes and/or weapons)

    I won't describe every part of the game since many critics have and will do a better job than me, but overall the game is incredibly enjoyable even though it sometimes feels a bit repetitive and I would highly recommend playing it.    … Expand

    All the details and mind blowing, such as how both arthur and johns voice actors had to record the lines for side missions/events etc. only criticism is sensitive law enforcement and I once ate approx 50 cans of food and my game crashed due to the sheer volume of cans i had dropped in the valentine general store.

    Transportation: 9/10 The only small error is that it is way too easy to bump into trees and can sometimes take a few minutes to ride into some missions, but the horse physics are great and look realistic (You know what I'm talking about)

    Free Roam: 10/10 The best open world free roam I've ever seen in a video game, from the random encounters to running away from bounty hunters or lawmen. The hunting is realistic and compelling, you can even study hundreds of different species to know what weapon is used best for the animal. The open world is full of things to do.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 qualifies as a masterpiece, easily. One of the first things new players will notice are the breathtaking aesthetics and scenery. Even if RDR2 were left as some unfinished horse riding simulator halfway through production, the look of the game alone would probably have provided me with hours of enjoyment. The soundtrack is AMAZING

    Gameplay is solid and not too clunky. Aim assistance can be somewhat obnoxious at times but is easily disabled from the settings. Glitches happen but rarely affect gameplay. Maybe my expectations were just low in this regard, but given the sheer file size of the game and the expansive maps, I was actually surprised by how stabile the game was. Creating multiple saves is quick and easy.

    The characters are much less 2D than the first game, including John. Voice acting isn’t always perfect but doesn’t detract from the story or gameplay. Cutscenes are the right length because they move the story along but don’t make the game feel like a bad multiple choice RPG.

    Setting is both fun and historically accurate. Political bloggers won’t have much of an excuse to complain about this Red Dead title, due to its fair but accurate depiction of nineteenth century America. NPC interactions are highly variable and contribute to immersion.

    Haven’t spent much time with the online beta yet but it already seems a lot less clunky than GTA online

    Very well made game. Probably a contender for best open-world game ever made.    … Expand

The sound design is fantastic and the world itself is realised in incredible detail down to every little minutiae.

    Occasionally clunky controls can hinder the experience a little, but ultimately it rises above any shortcomings with the sheer quality of its dialogue.

    Arthur himself is quite a difficult character to gauge in the initial hours, coming across as a less approachable counterpart to the quirky John Marston we met in the original game. However, over time Rockstar explore his raisons d'etre and ultimately warm you to his personality - the diamond in the rough, if you will.

    I also found myself bonding (literally via an in-game mechanic) with his horse and found myself routinely stopping shop, brushing and feeding my horse and setting up camp for a coffee and bite to eat. This is truly a sim if you wish it to be, but arguably the bulk of this can be ignored should you wish to focus on the action.

    The soundtrack is, as with the previous entry, worthy of passing mentioned - some fantastic scoring provided by different bands afford each area of the map its own look and feel, and without any spoilers I find myself getting emotional every time I hear The Way it Is by Daniel Lanois now.    … Expand

There is a button for every...single...action...that could possibly exist. It's madness, it's infuriating. However, beyond that this game is absolutely stunning! The world is rich and alive in a way almost no game has ever done. The characters are diverse and human unlike the lifeless NPCs in Bethesda for example. The environments are gorgeous. There is such an INSANE amount of content it's unreal. The story has tons of humor and crudeness which is expected in a Rockstar game, but the time period creates so much charm in the debauchery that you can't help but giggle as you lasso someone on their wagon and drag them behind your horse to death. RDR2 generates so much excitement around what was a pivotal period in American history. Most people who bash the game couldn't handle the complicated controls. Yes the controls are pretty bad, but not in an unresponsive way like input lag. The control issues stem from the obsession for "ultra realistic" graphics to the point of madness. The fact that every action has a button means that some commands wind up overlapping. R2 might initiate an item pickup when close to it, but the default action for the button is quick draw your weapon and fire. You can see how this goes from trying to take a shot at Valentine saloon to torches and pitchforks because you accidentally Drew and shot someone in the corner.

    This is still a must play game. Controls aside this is probably the best game on PS4. I played the hell of this game daily and I'd say I still played it for several months before I felt I had finished most of the game. I never played RDR1, but I'm now regretting it like you will if you pass on playing this game!    … Expand

    grande sceneggiatura, comparto tecnico sontuoso, musiche che accompagnano ogni momento del gioco, fasi di shooting riviste e migliorate ma soprattutto... un'ia innovativa che reagisce alle nostre azioni. Questo é il salto di cui l'industria aveva bisogno da troppo tempo.

    dopo half life 2 finalmente enormi passi in avanti, rockstar come neil armstrong.

    Fantastic game. Near perfection. Giving a 10 to equal the zero h8ers, otherwise it would be 9.5, which is not possible. You can almost feel the hard work Rockstar put into this game. Giving a 0 for reasons like "no PC Version" is just unfair. Shame on all of you h8ers.

    The fact that people are just giving it a 0/10 just because they don't get to play on their little computers is honestly hilarious. The games good. Its' about as simple as that, also get over yourselves online is fine.

    uality. That is what this game is. Many try to do what Rockstar does, and many fall flat on their face. There is a reason why Rockstar takes years to develop their games. It's because they value QUALITY, rather than quantity!!!

    First, I’d like to admit and embrace that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not for everyone, the game takes itself very seriously and moves at an incredibly slow pace (to it’s advantage). The story is over 60 hours long and incredibly daunting at first, as is the massive, sprawling open world this game offers after its 2-3 hour snow-filled prologue.

    (No Spoilers) I’ll begin by sharing my    First, I’d like to admit and embrace that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not for everyone, the game takes itself very seriously and moves at an incredibly slow pace (to it’s advantage). The story is over 60 hours long and incredibly daunting at first, as is the massive, sprawling open world this game offers after its 2-3 hour snow-filled prologue.

    (No Spoilers) I’ll begin by sharing my thoughts on the story:

    Red Dead Redemption 2 begins in 1899, The Grizzlies, a snowy mountain range at the very top of the in-game world. After a botched robbery attempt, the “Van Der Linde” gang led by Dutch Van Der Linde and his “Lead Enforcer” and Player Character, Arthur Morgan, have fled into The Grizzlies to escape the law. You are released from The Grizzlies after 2-3 hours of slow paced, atmospheric linear gameplay and unleashed into the ginormous open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 as you and your gang move their camp down to horseshoe overlook, the first real camp location.

    The story mainly revolves around the end of the “Wild West” and the beginning of the “Industrial Revolution”, more specifically Dutch and his gang’s downfall, even more specifically Dutch’s descent into madness himself and Arthur’s gruelling journey to find his place in the world, find out who he is and where he belongs. It is a brutal and realistic tale full of twists, turns, surprises and sadness as you witness the inevitable fall of the gang. The storytelling is slow but effective, the voice work is unimaginably convincing, the cutscenes are beautifully animated and the exploration and mission quality is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before, missions are unique and gameplay is extremely varied throughout the campaign, you’ll go from shovelling manure, building a fence or chopping wood to robbing banks, hijacking trains or an intense firefight in a burning building as it collapses in on you. Full of variety.

    Secondly I’d like to briefly cover the side missions and random encounter’s;
    So far the side missions have come in two forms for me, that of “Stranger Missions”, multi-part quests with fully developed cutscenes and bounty hunting, interesting and somewhat always unique mini-stories as you hunt down various outlaws around the map. The “Stranger Missions” are absolutely phenomenal, each with their own self contained and captivating little narratives that span 3-5 missions for each, there are a total of 16 stranger missions in the game that have been found and the amount of detail and work put into them is surprising and really sets the bar high for other titles. The Bounty Hunting is surprisingly varied as you go from just simply finding a bounty, killing all of his friends and taking him back to the Sheriff on the back of your stallion to finding an outlaw who’s supposedly “changed his ways” with a struggling family who begs you to let him say his goodbyes before he comes peacefully, you let him, you hear him tell his son to “do what I told you to you” and think nothing of it. During the trip your bounty slips out of his bonds and tries to escape, you quickly hogtie him and chuck him back up on your horse, all seems okay from there until four of his former gang members ambush you and reveal that your bounty’s son was told to go warn them, you kill them and finally get him back to the sheriff as he begs for release. That is how varied these missions are.

    Finally, I’ll touch on the gameplay:

    While admittedly slow and semi-clunky, the gameplay really hits its mark when trying to be weighty and brutal, once the (again, admittedly) confusing controls have been gotten used to and you’ve had some time to work out what works and what doesn’t, the gameplay can be very smooth and enjoyable, gameplay ranges from sitting down at a campfire with a few gang members as you drink your morning coffee and sing a sing under the rising sun to dual wielding sawed off shotguns, completely decapitating people and having massive bar fights that show off the much Improved and visceral melee system.

    Overall I’d have to say that this is one of the best single player experiences I have ever had and also one of the best plots (in my opinion) presented in any form of entertainment in the last 50 or so years. A phenomenal game and definitely worth a buy, if not the more expensive editions. Absolutely wonderful.    … Expand

    When I first started playing the game I was playing it with an open mouth. The level of detail in this game is just Insane and you feel that you are not playing a game but an experience. Is the game perfect, No it is not. Will it give you a great experience, Yeah, it will. Is it worth full price? Yeah, it is.

    Honestly it's sad how people judge a game just because of the fact it's not available on their platform of choice. The game is superb. Superb music, superb graphics, superb narrative, sure it is a slow burn. Stop flaming the game on unfounded opinions.

    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]
