    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't give games many high ratings. In fact, I'm extremely picky with which games should get such ratings but this game is 1 9.5 in my book and a damn near masterpiece.

    The writing is so damn good in this one that I was completely enthralled in the story. It's a second game and prequel done extremely well, and Rockstar deserves all the praise and recognition they deserve for this game.

    I played the first one a couple years it came out and I really enjoyed that one. Marston's death made me very sad and getting revenge and redemption as Jack was a great way to end it. RDR2 is a prequel which takes place in 1899 during the Van Der Linde gang's story and watching everything unfold around you was a very heartbreaking thing to watch. I thought I would never like a character more than john Marston but Rockstar (and Roger Clarke) somehow made me fall in love with Arthur Morgan from the prologue. He may not have been the best man, but his head was always in the right place. He's extremely relatable because Rockstar had the determination to make him as human as possible. The reputation meter in this one plays a huge role in this game too unlike the first game. The final chapter really was a grand finale to Arthur's story and it was executed very well. The multiple endings is a plus too but I can't even think about the bad ones. All the dialogue in every mission is also very well written.

    The horse companionship mechanic is exemplified to the max here. You have to feed, clean, and treat your horse to keep it healthy and you'll be doing this a lot. Rockstar did this on purporse. I grew very attached to the horse I bought in chapter 2 and shed tears when I lost him at the end. Rockstar made losing your horse a great aspect to the story. The way how Arthur has to comfort his horse while it is dying too really shows the kind of heart he has.

    The game itself is fun for the most part. I didn't give it a ten because the gameplay does get pretty stale after a while. They also added some things that were a little tedious like shaving, wearing the right clothes in certain weather, and having Arthur stay at a healthy weight.

    The last chapter left me speechless and thinking and the epilogue was a lot of fun because you get to play as John. The epilogue has happy ending until you see John **** his future up (RDR1) when he goes to kill Micah. But because of what Micah did to Arthur and the gang you weren't going to accept not having the option to kill him. This game also has the most moving end credits I've ever seen in a video game.

    Overall, this wasn't a video game, it was an experience. Arthur Morgan will always be my favorite video game character of all time and I highly recommend this game to everyone.    … Expand

    It's been a year since I've played RDR2, and I had and have played many open-world games before and after finishing this Rockstar masterpiece and I keep thinking "It's good but it's not as good as RDR2". RDR2 is may favorite open-world game and Arthur Morgan is one of my most beloved characters this generation has seen. Good story, great graphics, emotions.

    I can give hundred out of ten. I played Arthur Morgan's biography after work, keeping my sleep down. I felt as if I'm him. And I'm still enjoying many things in this game after the whole story is over.

The level of detail and immersion is insane, there is a lot to do and keep you busy. The fantastic hunting, many side quests, minigames and secret locations make you fall in love with this stunningly varied world. I spent many hours just riding around the wild areas in the westerly portion of the map, fishing, hunting and hiking around the beautiful landscapes.

    Despite this, it is surprising how limited you are in terms of options sometimes. There aren't really a lot of different ways to tackle situations. Stealth barely works outside of scripted moments, the environments don't really help you kill enemies, so your only option really is to go in guns blazing. You won't die and you never run out of ammo, or money for that matter. There are other issues as well, for example: it would be so immersive to be able to smoke a cigarette for longer, like in the online portion. While what there is is incredible, it's very linear at times for what is supposed to be an open world game.

    Now, the story. The characters are amazing. So unique, funny, interesting and dynamic. Walking around the gang's camp and just interacting with this amazing cast is fantastic fun, and always brings interesting moments to the table. It feels very authentic. The story, however, is where the game can fail sometimes. I was enthralled in the first half, but after chapter five I just became disillusioned with the story points of the game. You have all these pots of the boil, all these fragile characters and plot points ready to burst in an incredible flame of pure art, but instead they just put on more pots, and pour in more water, until there's just too much stuff left untied that it feels worthless.

    However, those first 4 chapters are so amazing, and in honesty, chapter six has some highlights as well. I think the ending was well done, but there is such a clear path to everything that the moral ambiguity of it all becomes so plain and simple.

    The gameplay itself is well done in most areas. The controls are pretty all over the place at times, but overall feel fluent. Animations are very slow, but I didn't really mind this. The crafting and such is very simple, it's much more about going after the ingredients than anything else. The shooting is also fantastic, very fluent and easy to pick up. But the main component of this game, the glue that holds it all in place; is your horse. You ride your horse a lot in this game. A LOT. I'd say about 80% of this game is spent on a horse. I'm not joking. You go from wherever you are, to your mission marker, and then spend most of the mission; on your horse. If that sounds totally dreadful, maybe don't pick up this game. I didn't mind, to be honest. The world is so stunning and the little things that happen along the way (as well as the dialogue in missions) kept me entertained as I steered my horse along the little dirt paths of 1899 America.

    The visual style and atmosphere are unparalleled. The graphics are stunning, with crisp sunlight pouring in over the snowy mountains, stagnant water coating the swamp, and rolling hills in the great plains. The attention to detail in every texture is jaw dropping, and I spent lots of time just taking it in. The music is also amazing, with toned-down atmospheric pieces playing wherever I went.

    Overall, this is one of my favourite games ever made. Despite it's many shortcomings, this is overall a deep, interesting and immersive experience that the average gamer will absolutely enjoy.    … Expand

    Even though the game is not perfect (no game really is), i give it a 10.

    Rockstar Games not only created a new video game, they created art. The best storyline and best graphics as of 2020. The game is long, but not boring. The only part which might seem too slow paced is the prologue. Combat is decent, animations amazing, like in every Rockstar game after GTA IV.

    I really loved RDR and was very excited to play this game. After about 30-40 hours, I got bored and stopped playing. Everything felt very similar, and a lot of the side quests are just the same things over and over again. Kind of disappointed by the game and wonder why it's so overhyped.

    2.freedom
    this game is between minecraft like freedom in the open wolrd and a uncharted style missions.
    i think that the best example of this is the bank robbery mission because theres so many things that are complety diffrent in the open world.
    -you rob a bank wich is impossible
    -you get 2500 dollars wich is enought to buy every single gun and upgrade to the camp.
    -you dont get a state wide bounty
    -you dont get a wanted level-cops just kinda show up from diffrent directions.
    and if you run on your horse too fast you can even fail the mission wich is kinda funny.

    in conlusion:
    missions in this game want to be an uncharted like experience game tolds you what to do and if you attempt anything diffrent - mission failed
    open world wants to be like minecraft-it gives you tools and you make the stories but. it cant because
    everything cool is locked behind a missions. you dont wanna exprole because if something intresting was there it would of be behind a marker.
    and that is my main concern for this game. everything is just so scripted. [Link omitted per site rules]    … Expand

    A true masterpiece. The game has so much content to offer, that even the second walkthrough feels like a new game. It's 2018 graphics and animations still look way better than what many other studios can offer in 2020. The story, the details, the open world are incredible.

People saying that "you wouldnt run in real life" makes no sense, as I wouldnt live in 1899 as a gunslinger in real life. RDR2 is more of a movie where you sometimes "Press X" to feel a sense of accomplishment. The game is completely designed around the idea that everything should take a reeeeaally long time, to try to make it seem like a long game. Ive spent hours, literally, just riding around like a nationwide scavenger hunt. Its just a chore. The brief gunfights had moments of excitement, but between the insanely horrible controls and the extreme boredom, this just isnt a good video.

    The dynamic environment is something to truly marvel at and its something that only a few developers could ever dream of coming close to. Everything is alive and the random encounters are worth the effort alone.
    It does start slow, so slow in fact I had given up on the game 3 times previously, but I pushed through and my god I'm glad i did.
    Full disclosure; I'm nowhere near completion but I'm far enough through to know that this is the best game I have played in 2020.
    Its an adult game, mature, there are no in-jokes, there is no satire, its based wholly in what probably was the reality of that time and place, this is not for gamers who want something as user-friendly and "ruleless" as GTA. This is a deliberately paced game and the amount of time that has been put into every aspect is something that needs to be experienced to believe.
    I was going to give this a 9 because of annoying framerate drops on PS4, but that's just not enough to sway me from the 10/10 I'm going to give it.
    It has an incredibly low completion rate and its a shame, but I can see why. It takes dedication and time and with the market as flooded as it is, as a mature gamer you owe it to yourself to invest in it.
    I absolutely hated this game when it released and its taken along time for me to comprehend what I was getting myself into.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "Red Dead Redemption 2" es el videojuego definitivo. Cuando salió en 2018 nadie se podría imaginar que se pudiera conseguir algo así, pero gracias al inmenso trabajo de "Rockstar Games", 8 años después de la primera entrega vimos en escena este portento.
    Es sublime en muchos aspectos. Para empezar, lo que más llamará la atención a muchos es el apartado gráfico. Y es que la calidad gráfica, incluso en PS4 es sublime, una texturas fantásticas, unos modelados casi perfectos, rostros de personajes super detallados... Lo más espectacular de este apartado técnico-visual es la iluminación. La iluminación y las sombras son sublimes, desde el foco principal (el sol) hasta los secundarios (fuego, farolas...) desprenden una iluminación casi realista. La vegetación es otro punto fuerte, con una sensibilidad con el personaje increíble (desde la hierba hasta los arbustos).
    La trama principal es gigantesca. La historia principal en mi opinión es bastante compleja y reconozco que alguien con un nivel de inglés bajo aunque haya subtítulos, debe ser complicado seguirla (estilo de "Rockstar", no se puede criticar). Aún así la trama es fabulosa, repleta de personajes super elaborados, cada uno de ellos con su historia personal pasada y futura por contar.
    Arthur Morgan es el protagonista, un miembro de una banda de forajidos, dirigida por el ya anteriormente conocido Dutch Van Der Line y otros personajes también conocidos (conocidos por la primera entrega). Lo cierto es que para 1899 el salvaje oeste ya no es tan salvaje y el progreso y la tradición empezarán a chocar. Así es como la banda de Dutch luchará por sobrevivir en los Estados Unidos e intentarán buscar una oportunidad de huir de allí (a Tahití según Dutch, que hay mangos xd). Lo cierto es que la trama dará muchas vueltas, la banda se asentará en diferentes lugares a lo largo de la trama y Arthur y sus compañeros empezarán a rivalizarse unos de otros, dividiéndose en dos grupos (El de Dutch y el de Arthur Morgan). Esto acarreará un final trágico pero al mismo tiempo de esperanza.
    Es un videojuego tan inmenso, lleno de detalles increíbles (como las animaciones del caballo, la personalización de Arthur, la caza , los diferentes animales y peces...) que se tardarían días en contarlos todos. Lo cierto es que el juego toma un realismo abrumador a causa de todos ellos y esto hace que sea un videojuego de referencia para otras empresas que poco a poco han ido copiando elementos de esta gran aventura acontecida en el ocaso del Oeste Americano.    … Expand

    Antes de empezar, probablemente me extienda demasiado en esta reseña así que daré mi veredicto ahora, es un juegazo y debes jugarlo si o si, ahora comienzo con las razones.

    El juego es una autentica obra maestra y esta lleno de detalles, los gráficos son increíbles, la IA fantástica, las cientos de especies de animales, el sistema de caza, la recolección la ambientación, la historia es genial, con unos personajes carismaticos y profundos, las localizaciones son increibles y la ambientación te deja un gran sabor de boca, el detalle en las armas es genial y en general la mayoría de sistemas del juego no suman y están ahí por una razón, ademas es una gran experiencia jugarlo, y tras un punto de no retorno que no diré por spoilers (quien lo haya jugado lo entenderá) y que te abre otra parte del mapa, la jugabilidad cambia dando paso a una jugabilidad totalmente distinta, cada detalle, cada personaje y cada fotograma son fantásticos.
    Puede que me este repitiendo pero no es para menos, no se puede expresar con palabras el nivel que tiene este juego.
    Ademas, muestra la época como lo que era, una época de cambio y renovación, se puede ver el inicio del movimiento sufragista, la industrializacion y lo increíblemente bien representado que esta el fin de la época de los vaqueros.
    Ademas, la historia conecta genial con la del primero, y explica por que en este no se habla del protagonista, ademas, da pistas de que hay un final aun sin descubrir (que hasta rockstar ha confirmado) y esto desemboca en una parte de la comunidad intentando descubrirlo, el juego es gigantesco y el sistema de karma es increíble, ademas, el mundo parece que esta vivo, cada paso que das hace que este ultimo te demuestre mas que no es un simple videojuego, cada NPC, animal, cada detalle, contribuye a que el mundo te parezca aun mas vivo.
    Las misiones secundarias son fantásticas y para nada repetitivas, el gunplay es suave y da una sensación increíble, el combate es fantástico y cada viaje es único.

    Es una obra maestra y demuestra que rockstar sigue pudiendo hacer juegos increíbles.
    Aun asi, el juego esta rodeado en polémica debido a al crunch que recibieron los empleados, algo comun en esta industria, es algo que cualquiera esperaria de un juego tan bueno, no sale gratis, y a veces me pregunto si para llegar a estos puntos de calidad hay que sacrificar el bienestar de los empleados, es triste ver que la mayoría de veces es necesario, aunque espero que todos los desarrolladores sepan que han creado una obra maestra y que cada una de las horas invertidas ha valido la pena.
    Así que este es un mensaje para los devs, por si algún día alguien que ha participado en el desarrollo de este juego se cruza con esta review, solo quiero decir, Gracias.    … Expand

    The positive about this game is that the world has so much to do, it is also very detailed. NPC live their lives, they have day/night routines. If you rob a storekeeper there is a good chance he will remember that when you later return to his store.

    The world is huge and exploring the wilderness, towns and houses will have you find remarkable things and places. Some just look beautifull, in others strange things have happened.

    I personally didn't find any negative things about this game, but the story is very long. And the game is somethimes a little slow passed. I liked these things, but it might not be everyone's cup of tea. But if you do, this is THE game for you!    … Expand

    I was absolutely floored when I first got the game that I played 70 hours in one week, but I got bored and stopped playing it until a month ago because the second half feels like such a chore instead of an immersive experience of a game. I finally finished the last 5 hours of it a month ago and I wasn't as impressed as when I played it for the first time. The first 3 chapters are amazing though.

    Very Good Game, the best game of the generation, 100% recommended. It's like a movie, better than any movie, it's a artwork. An open-world adventure full of possibilities, with a beautiful audiovisual section and an unforgettable story and characters. Graphically, it's the best to date. It has a captivating, exciting, and fun story. RDR2 is incomparable, Rockstar plays by its own rules, competes against itself. Arthur Morgan is the best character that a video game company has ever created, it's incredible how they deepen into his history and that of his gang, the connection and attachment that's felt emotionally towards him during the story is something inexplicable, I never thought that I would feel something like that towards a protagonist in a video game. In spite of everything, you can see that several aspects to be polished were missing, many times certain things about the gameplay are not explained, or they end up being explained (rather understanding, since they were never really explained) too much late. Also, many times the game gets stuck during the missions, your companions don't advance, or they stay bug and you have no choice but to go back to the checkpoint, which spoils the experience a bit. Despite having an excellent story, it is noted that it is a bit hasty in the last moments. Another aspect that disappoints me a bit is limiting decision making. While some of your decisions change some scenes and very minimal aspects of the game, although your decisions may change the ending you have, they really do not have a great impact throughout the ENTIRE course of the story, making it a totally linear game. You can see that it lacked a little more time to develop the game, it lacked maturing. But considering that it is one of the first (if not, the first) game with these brilliant and captivating characteristics, it's understood in a certain way, it only remains to keep improving. The truth is that I was impressed, and I only think about the next installments, and what will be learned and improved for the next games.

    ESPAÑOL

    Muy Buen Juego, el mejor juego de la generación, recomendable 100%. Es como una pelicula, mejor que cualquier película, es una obra de arte. Una aventura de mundo abierto repleta de posibilidades, con un apartado audiovisual hermoso y una historia y unos personajes inolvidables. Gráficamente, es de lo mejor hasta la fecha. Tiene una historia cautivadora, emocionante y divertida. RDR2 es incomparable, Rockstar juega con sus propias reglas, compite contra sí misma. Arthur Morgan es el mejor personaje que alguna vez haya creado una compañía de videojuegos, es increíble como profundizan en su historia y en la de su banda, la conexión y el apego que se siente emocionalmente hacia el durante la historia es algo inexplicable, nunca pensé que sentiría algo así hacia un protagonista en un videojuego. A pesar de todo, se nota que faltaron varios aspectos a pulir, muchas veces no se explican ciertas cosas de la jugabilidad, o se terminan explicando (mejor dicho entendiendo, ya que nunca se explicaron realmente) demasiado tarde. También muchas veces el juego se queda pegado durante las misiones, tus compañeros no avanzan o se quedan bugeados y no tienes mas remedio que retroceder al punto de control, lo cual arruina un poco la experiencia. A pesar de tener una excelente historia, se nota que es un poco apresurada en los últimos instantes. Otro aspecto que me decepciono un poco es la limitando toma de decisiones. Si bien algunas de tus decisiones cambian un poco algunas escenas y muy mínimos aspectos del juego, aunque tus decisiones puedan cambiar el final que tienes, realmente no tienen gran impacto durante TODO el transcurso de la historia, haciéndolo un juego totalmente lineal. Se nota que le falto un poco mas de tiempo al desarrollo del juego, le falto madurar. Pero considerando que es de los primeros (si no, el primer) juego con estas características tan brillantes y cautivadoras, se entiende de cierta forma, solo queda seguir mejorando. La verdad es que quede impresionado, y solo pienso es las próximas entregas, y en lo que se aprenderá y mejorara para los próximos juegos.    … Expand

    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.    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. 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

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute masterpiece. Read Dead Redemption II is one of the best games I've ever played in my life, and there have been a few. Unfortunately, I didn't play Red Dead Redemption I and that's why I didn't know much about the story of Dutch and the others acting from first game, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with all the characters immediately. I'm not the biggest lover of westerns, whether movies or games. Anyway, this game completely changed my mind about it. The atmosphere is great, the soundtrack is guilty, and not to mention dubbing. It's one of the few games where I really wanted to explore every single piece of the map. All the side quests are great and the main storyline is even better. Anyway, I praised the game now. Now, to come to the disadvantages, which are not so much, but they will definitely ruin your gaming experience. I don't really understand why they gave them a reputation. The only thing I noticed were other dialogues, such as when Arthur dies and you had a good reputation, so others will remember you in a good way and vice versa. And that brings me to the second minus. Why do you even give functions there, such as robbing passers-by or whole shops. I just never understood Tp. You are a bandit, literally your livelihood or you want to "work" depends on robbing people. But almost by no means can you rob people or a business without anyone noticing. And if someone notices you, your reputation will drop, which you don't want because you want to finish it on the so-called "good" Arthur. He would have welcomed the fact that if they had put their reputation away completely and if others would remember you in a good or bad way, the point determined how many side missions or important decisions you had made. I would have a few minuses that have happened to me only a few times, but they are just annoying. E.g. When I was doing the main storyline, I played a great soundtrack there and I rode a horse. I accidentally bumped into and fell. And when I started riding again, the music stopped and played even though I was only halfway through the road. Sure, it's mostly my fault that I can't ride, but the game just has to reckon with. And what bothers me more is when you ride a horse in Saint Denis and you run into OMIL someone, so it has no problem pulling a gun at you and starting to shoot. But no one solves it. If you only dare to punch him after he started firing, all the cops around you will run up to you and arrest you. This is downright a searing mechanism. Well, to sum it all up. Read Dead Redemption II is an absolutely excellent game that I recommend to everyone, even those who do not like westerns, because you will just fall in love with this. The story is great and it made me turn a blind eye to the smaller bugs and give Read Dead Redemption II nine and half out of ten.… Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of gaming’s all time great achievements. Why not a 10 out of 10? Because the gameplay is rough and not up to modern standards.

    Before I wax ineloquently about the good, let us dispense with the matter of the bad. Gunplay and movement in Red Dead Redemption 2 are not snappy.

Because the gameplay is rough and not up to modern standards.

    Before I wax ineloquently about the good, let us dispense with the matter of the bad. Gunplay and movement in Red Dead Redemption 2 are not snappy. The player character feels a bit like the lumbering tank from the original Red Dead Redemption. Aiming with the left trigger doesn’t bring up iron sites but instead moves the tiny dot that serves as the crosshairs to the nearest enemy. This arcade like system is great for tagging enemies while riding on horse back but feels terrible when moving through an army like in a Call of Duty game. The game also offers a Max Payne like time slowing down mechanic called Dead Eye, and if you have enough items to refill your Dead Eye, you can easily headshot every enemy. Again, the mechanic does not feel good when compared to modern shooters.

    The game will also frustratingly change the control schemes. Sometimes you press the right trigger to threaten someone with a gun. Other times, pressing right trigger will cause you to shoot them in the face. The same goes for stealth kills. In the right context, tapping the circle button will perform a stealth takedown or stealth kill, and other times it will start a fist fight. I accidentally killed quite a few NPCs that cancelled a few optional mission paths because of the poor controls. Dear Rockstar: there is a good reason most games use the X button for contextual actions and not the button used to shoot guns!

    Some of the contextual controls are a little gimmicky and reminded me of Call of Duty or a story driven game like Heavy Rain. This is because Red Dead Redemption 2 is really a giant narrative game disguised as an open world shooter. The original Red Dead Redemption was my favorite game of the Xbox 360/PS3 generation because of its fantastic story and those quiet moments learning to ranch from Bonney or teaching those same skills to Jack. I could forgive the clumsy tank controls because the open world was liberating and I wanted to finish John Marston’s story. Red Dead Redemption 2 doubles down on the story and even expands on some of the trippy story segments in Grand Theft Auto V.

    Funny thing, I was playing Life Is Strange 2 and felt the game was getting too real for 2020. So I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 for some good old fashioned cowboy shoot’m ups. Then Red Dead Redemption 2 lays on the contemplation of morality and regret. The game deals with respiratory disease, parenting, and bank loans! I felt like I needed a break from the all too real cowboy drama and played Overwatch for two weeks. Eventually though, I came back to cowboy land and the story had me hooked. Eventually, I finished the very long story after the second epilogue. What a ride.

    Like most people, my play through was not 100%. I have nothing against the game for having too much content. Like The Witcher 3 and every Elder Scrolls game, I have not desire to finish every fetch quest. Red Dead Redemption 2 offers hunting, fishing, scavenger hunts, lots of bounties to collect, and pointless conversation. The game also has old timey movies and “live” entertainment. At one time, I might have been fascinated by all of the effort that went into the game. I might have loved the on-line game as pointless as it seems. As I become a cynical old man, I lose interest in every nook and cranny of game. Still, I appreciate the game as the total product, and Red Dead Redemption 2 is the total product and then some. The game would have been well worth the original $60 asking price in 2018 and is well worth the $30 or less discount price today. You will be entertained.

    Rather than spoil the story, I will simply say that it is Rockstar’s best, one of the best in video games generally, and even better than the original Red Dead Redemption. The vast voice cast and animation work make this world feel real. Some of the dialogue is definitely B work and not at all consistent with the time period. When it counts, though, the dialogue, expressions, and camera angles are spot on. Not every game can have such a monumental effort behind it because not every game will sell as well as Red Dead Redemption 2. I think of it this way: RockStar was going to sell a lot of copies of this game no matter what, and they chose to make one of the best games ever made.

    All-in-all, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must play, and chances are you have already played it.    … Expand

    The story is great and some of the open world discovery is super interesting from a narrative perspective. However the actual gameplay and overall open-world game design feel tired. I was hoping for something more unique from sucha great title and studio. Still, a lot to love in this game.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Read Dead Redemption 2 is an average game. Good in some areas, but major flaws in others.

    * Good points
    Graphics - Some of the best graphics on the PS4.

    Game World - The game world is very immersive. Animals behave realistically. Towns feel very alive.

    Crafting/Survival - The game includes some basic crafting and survival mechanics which match the setting of the game.

    Story - The story is enjoyable and can be very thought provoking. I found it interesting how Dutch has this self-delusion that he is a visionary being oppressed by the system when in reality he's just a charismatic thief and killer. Eventually this delusion has major, and very logical, self-inflicted consequences on his gang.

    * Bad points
    Control - The game controls are frequently poor. Every action is sluggish, especially in combat. There really is no excuse for the controls being this bad, especially given the development time and resources.

    Weapon Selection Bug - Weapon selection seems bugged. Actions like skinning an animal cause a seemingly random weapon to be selected instead of the previous selected weapon. This will get you killed until you remember to check your selected weapon every time you do anything. But since no other game works this way (that I know) you will continue to forget this bug/feature.

    Tedious Mechanics - The game forces you to craft/cook every item you don’t buy, no way to stack and craft multiple items at a time. If you’re crafting ammo for example, you have to craft each bullet one at a time. If you wanted to make 100 bullets, you would have to craft each bullet one at a time!

    Crime System - Once spotted, lawmen never stop coming after you, their numbers are unlimited, and they are virtually psychic. Your only option is to try to outrun them. This should not happen. If you can’t kill all your pursuers, they should at least come in waves which give you a reasonable amount of time to escape.

    Lack of Stores - The game has an odd distribution of stores. For example; there appears to be only one wagon fence in the entire game. Traders, which have a number of unique items are poorly placed, requiring the player to spend a lot of unnecessary time traveling.

    Poor Instructions - The game has a number of unique mechanics that are poorly explained. Part of this is because the pop-up help appears in real time while you need to perform the action. What the game should have done is introduce the game mechanics in a non-critical way BEFORE you actually need to use them (this is game dev 101). In some cases the help is just wrong or incomplete, requiring you to go online to get the information you need. Gun duels are a primary example of this. Players should never have to consult third party sources for basic game mechanics.

    There are a number of other poor design implementations not mentioned here. However, despite the games problems I still recommend people give it a try if you like sandbox games or westerns. If good, responsive control is important to you then you may want to wait and pick this game up used or in the bargain bin.    … Expand

    TLDR; The most detailed, immersive game world out there.. but nowhere near the most fun. Let down by dated, poorly designed combat and missions but overall an incredible experience worth having.

    Most of your time in RD2 will be spent by riding your horse and listening to people's stories and that's not a bad thing. The world you're placed in is beyond anything anyone has made before.    TLDR; The most detailed, immersive game world out there.. but nowhere near the most fun. Let down by dated, poorly designed combat and missions but overall an incredible experience worth having.

    Most of your time in RD2 will be spent by riding your horse and listening to people's stories and that's not a bad thing. The world you're placed in is beyond anything anyone has made before. It's jaw droppingly beautiful.. Even after 60 hours in this game, you will still be stunned by its visuals. It's made all the more satisying by having a horse that needs care and attention which makes you form a strong bond over the course of the game. The detail in the environment, both wilderness and the towns are incredible. The immersion is helped by an interact button that lets Arthur (your character) either interact with someone positively or negatively.. its a small thing but helps make you feel like you're a living breathing person that can and does make an impact on the world around you. The actvities you can partake in , like poker and blackjack in the local saloons are great, especially when you enter firstperson mode. You can really take in the detail and more open world games need activities like this so you can interact with the world and people around you. As you progress through the game, details will change also. Shops will get built , some abbandoned and this happens in so many locations it's easy to miss as you play.

    The story is one of the best in recent gaming history. Arthur is a troubled man, haunted by his past actions and slowly realising the selfish outlaw life he led has left him with nothing but blood on his hands. It's made all the more depressing by the fact you watch Arthur watch his friend and mentor Dutch , slowly turn to madness, becoming more reckless, more violent and abbandon all previous morales (there wasn't many to begin with)

    Gameplay is RD2 biggest issue and one which divides it's playerbase, you can either see past the outdated, poorly designed shooting and mission design or you find it so irriating it ruins the experience for you. For me, I was able to put it to the side for the previously mentioned positives. However, it no less annoyed me and spoiled the experience. When you're in a mission, if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you fail.. you fall too far behind your npc buddy.. you failed. You don't walk to the exact spot it marks on your mini map.. you can't progress. Rockstar games are no stranger to these issues and RD2 isn't the saviour to these glaringly outdated and poorly designed missions. It's a shame when the visuals and story telling around it are some of the best in the business. Next, the shooting.. it's bad. It's a Rockstar game, it's always bad.. it's bland, easy and unimaginitive. Hold left trigger, lock onto target, pull right trigger.. I turned auto lock off and found the shooting to be a little more interesting but there's still a decent amount of auto locking on, it's just not as strong.    … Expand

    I would give this game a 6/10 and the first game a 9/10, it's a disappointment as a sequel.

    But I'm giving it a ZERO because rockstar is deleting and banning users who criticize the game on steam, that's NOT how you improve the game. They should listen to players and fix the game.

    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]
