    What a game. RDR2 needs some time to enjoy it.Everything is so precise in this game : the Open World, the characters, the story, the actors. Maybe the best open world I've ever played.

    Rockstar Games baby, they always, always have the key to create a jewel, a work of art.
    I remember that I couldn't finish the first RDR because my console broke and I'm playing this one slowly so as not to finish it fast. Is it a 10/10 Great story, graphics, gameplay, everything. Great awesome game.

    Truly a special kind of video game experience, enthralling and beautiful story. Mind blowing detail in it's open world. Only held slightly back by a bland combat system and every mission being a shootout with the end game being just shooting dozens of npcs per mission.

No. Sometimes the overloaded control scheme can be a hassle and more than once did I end up in the situation of not knowing weither I should be angry or laughing my ass off, that the local police decided to reply to my magic trick of defending myself against an armed criminal without even hurting him by opening fire at me.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a stunning achievement—a masterclass in both story and gameplay. Many years after release, there are still aspects of this game that other developers would do well to emulate. For my money, this is one of the greatest pieces of interactive storytelling ever created.

    A much deserved 9.5/10. Great story to follow, but where the game stands alone is the open world. So much to do. I spent over 100 hours on the campaign alone before getting even remotely bored. It starts out a touch slow for my liking, but after the first chapter it picks up full steam and allows the player to explore almost infinitely. Must play.

    Em “Red Dead Redemption 2”, os jogadores assumem o papel de Arthur Morgan, um fora-da-lei no Velho Oeste americano. A história segue a gangue de bandidos liderada por Dutch van der Linde enquanto eles fazem um último esforço para sobreviver em um mundo que está mudando rapidamente. O jogo mais realista que já joguei.

    The Graphics even in a game from 2018 it's one of the most beautiful that I ever see.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a pretty boring game where none of your actions never matter. Nice quality, but very boring in implementation shooting with every gun in the game being pretty much the same with every enemy being a damage sponge untill you start shooting in the head, then everything dies in one shot, and not forgetting the catch all in the form of "time stop" on command. Graphics in the game are very good, if you have a 3070/4060 cards or equivalents with 8gigs of g ram at the minimum. If you don't, you will get gta 5 on medium quality... And finally the story... With every single mission and side quest being go kill X amount of guys, 60-80% of which being just average people that are just doing their jobs, with a rare acception of plantation owners, kkk members and some bandits. Overall the member of a band and the band of selfish thugs itself are just another parasite on the face of the gameworld, that living a care free life at expense of people that they are exploiting around them. AND simultaneously thinking that they are the victims when they get what is coming to them because of their actions. Don't know how about the average player, but i am revolted by the idea of playing as a pathetic leech that thinks it is a victim... Expand

The hunting mechanics (not touched by reviewers in the slightest, but more so by completionists) are completely luck-based and the '10 out of 10' scores likely come from people with only 1 or 2 playthroughs (I myself, as some reinforcement of credentials, have 603 hours as of writing this review, and 100% completion). Despite it's seriously gripping, and no doubt 10/10 story, rockstar games clearly new that the reviewers, IGN for example, and people that actually matter within the community of gaming, would do the bare minimum and only play through the story once and assemble an effortless review, as was done time and time again with the most dry and overrated game of the century, GTA V, focusing too much on satire and exaggeration of characters, instead of an actually gripping story, which yet still received a 96 on this platform itself. Going for 100% completion a second time, hunting, in vain, I realised that I should review this game for what it is: a game focused only on story and realism, instead of letting people who actually commit to the game enjoy it. 4/10 gameplay, 10/10 everything else, so like a 5 out of 10 overall considering that gameplay is actually more important than whatever the hell rockstar likes to focus on.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a beautiful game with a rich and immersive world. The attention to detail in the game's environments and character animations is unparalleled, making it a truly immersive experience. The story is engaging and well-written, with compelling characters and strong voice acting.

    However, the game's pacing can be a bit slow at times, with long stretches of travel time or side quests that don't always feel necessary. Additionally, the controls can be a bit clunky and difficult to master, especially when it comes to horse riding or gunfights.

    Overall, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must-play for fans of open-world games or Westerns. Its stunning visuals and immersive story make it an unforgettable experience, even with its flaws. However, the game's pacing and control issues prevent it from reaching the heights of perfection, resulting in a solid 7/10 rating.

    Esse é o melhor jogo que já joguei em minha vida e acredito que seja o melhor jogo da história dos games.
    Simplesmente nota 10 em todos os aspectos (gameplay, gráficos, imersão, história, mundo aberto...)
    Obrigado Rockstar, essa é sua obra prima.

    Very immersive gameplay, stunning graphics, great characters and voice acting, great story ... words cant express how much this game has exceeded every expectation imaginable. It is the type of game you will still remember after decades.

    It has one of the best storys in gaming history and a beautiful open world to explore, the gameplay might not be the best but it's very realistic most of the time, the best game I've ever played in my opinion.

    My favourite game. If someone asks me a top 3 of all time, i have to include it. I was excited to play the game because it was from rockstar and the western setting intrigued me more than the city setting of GTA. I still remember being hyped before the game's release. i have replayed it twice, something i never do. I also went on to play rdr1 on xbox 360, solidfying red dead redemption asMy favourite game. If someone asks me a top 3 of all time, i have to include it. I was excited to play the game because it was from rockstar and the western setting intrigued me more than the city setting of GTA. I still remember being hyped before the game's release. i have replayed it twice, something i never do. I also went on to play rdr1 on xbox 360, solidfying red dead redemption as my favourite video game series.

    The good stuff: This game has so much in it, yet it manages to be perfect in all aspects: multiplayer, gameplay, weapon and clothing customisation, story, music, world, graphics, characters, the animals, the attention to detail, side questions/activities, and historical accuracy.

    What could have been improved: Firstly, Yes some of the controls are questionable, but once you get used to it, you almost never make errors, at least that is the case for me. If i pick it up after playing several other games, I sometimes feel a bit lost or not in control, but after 30 mins it all comes back to me. Secondly, there could have been a little more settlements or less distance between them, but at the same time, it really gives more importance to your horse and eating and staying alert for enemies or random encounters. I also understand that it makes things feel more realistic. Lastly, RDO could have gotten more attention and love from the developers.

    In conclusion: a masterpiece. I give the game a 100/100, nothing has come close to this game even 5 years later. this is what rockstar does i guess.

    You know if a game goes as far as detail to make you brew coffee via campfire before drinking it, or getting your weapons from a horse's satchel, or literally watching it's testicles shrink in cold weather, that this is game of the decade material.

    Incredibly overhyped and overatted the gameplay is Incredibly uninteresting, outdated and boring exact same can be said about the games mission design, the open world looks like it was AI generated and is Incredibly boring and feels tedious to traverse. I would rather gauge my eyes out than play this game again.

    Simply the best game I've ever come accross. Incredibly deep, immersive, thrilling and entertaining, Red Dead 2 is the game that marked me the most from the last 20 years of gaming. You really fuse with the main caracter, with all the interresting choices. This is a journey inside our own morale and who we are. Everything is insane from shooting scene to the music and epic visuals. pureSimply the best game I've ever come accross.

I lost count of how many times this game made me laugh, and will never forget the way it made me cry. In an industry overflowing with lifeless open worlds full of tedious and repetitive tasks, Rockstar Games did something incredible with RDR2. Never has a world felt so alive. It will immerse you from the moment you step into the game, and will take you on an adventure that you will never forget. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The appeal of rockstar games' gameplay just misses me completely. These games are story driven and built so children with limited capacity will still be able to complete them.
    Every rockstar game feels the same. Like I'm watching a crappy movie but holding a controller, and the movie frequently pauses requiring me to hit the "I'm still playing button".
    The worst part is I got very excited for a western game. Only to realize it's just GTA set in the wild west. Same terrible gameplay. Thank you for those that told me to turn auto aim off, it allllllmost felt like I was playing and the game wasn't just playing itself. Even still, miserable I stuck with this as long as I did. Whenever I tried to stop I kept getting told, don't worry, it gets better.

    Lol nope. It doesn't.

Horse testicle thermodynamics? Cool that you can do it, but a waste of time and money, these things are boring to engage with, but you get nerfed if you don't, so you can't just ignore it without being punished. The saddest thing about this game is that there is just too much **** in it. Also everything that isn't the main story is either boring or gets old fast. 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]

    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]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
