    I was not a fan of the series. Preordered the special edition hardcopy as I got totally excited from previews and leaks. Graphics, world physics and game mechanics are all top tier. What i did not like that much was the story's slow progress, the lack of meaningful side quests and open world exploration rewarding and finally the disappointing multiplayer mode.

    This game has the best graphics I’ve seen on PS4. The Detail and options are limitless from all the violence to everything more subtle too. I used to play games getting to the end wishing there was more but with this there is more and plenty to ring all the desire of more out of you and still leave you with more to do.

    tl;dr: RDR2 may be impressive from production values standpoint, but Rockstar's obsession with detail and gameplay systems that just pad the game or add complexity for complexity's sake took away a lot from my enjoyment of the game.

The epilogue also feels rather pointless and drags on for way too long for what little plot it has.

    Considering the scale of the game, the attention to detail is quite impressive. While not on the level of Uncharted 4, RDR2's scale makes it the greater achievement. When the game takes shortcuts in production, however, it becomes way more obvious than it would if the game took a more relaxed attitude towards presentation and immersion. For instance, when you dismount a horse and your weapons magically "attach" to you, or when shoveling manure onto a wheelbarrow the "product" moves as one stiff lump.

    Inconveniencing the player for the sake of "immersion" is also not that great of an idea. Your horse magically teleporting to you at the end of many of the story mode missions is proof that, at the end of the day, the devs must've understood that the usual videogame approach of spawning your horse at a touch of a button is the preferable solution, yet proceed to inconvenience the player all the other ways. The game, at its core, is the apex obsession with gameplay systems that just pad the game or add complexity for complexity's sake, which has been escalating since as far back as GTA: San Andreas. In RDR2 there are systems such as hair growth, changing body weight, horse hygiene and the need for weather-appropriate clothing. All that pointless complexity also resulted in overly elaborate controls.

    The game also didn't know when to end on a high note. The epilogue feels rather pointless and drags on for far too long for what little interesting story it has to offer.    … Expand

From the sprawling open world, to the amazingly written characters, the stunning graphics and Arthur Morgan’s western tale from a savage gunslinging outlaw to a man wishing that he’d lived his life a lot differently, making him one of my favourite characters in gaming history. This isn’t even mentioning the sheer amount of content Rockstar Games developed over 8 years, this includes countless amounts of random encounters, stranger missions, mystery’s and treasure hunts. If you haven’t played this masterpiece, you are truly missing out on something special.… Expand

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

    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.

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

They also give us an obnoxiously large map. There’s so much to explore, and incredible attention to detail. The story mode is very long and will keep you busy. A must for lovers of games like GTA.

    All kinds of useless settings go without saying, the task is also a lot of repetition, a large world but very empty, mandatory increase in the player's game time, the most intolerable thing is that when the task is completed, there is a scoring system. Online games also have great disadvantages, such as plagiarism of PUBG, etc.
    I really doubt what I've been doing for years.

    Red Dead 2 is probably the game of decade for the following aspects:

    • Amazing and interesting story • Amazing characters
    • The best open-world game that i ever played
    • The voice acting is amazing
    • The map is really huge and i love it

    The only thing that wrecks the game is the Online Mode basically.It’s the opposite of the Story Mode.
    Story Mode - 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was a terrible game playing. The movements are really slow. I wouldn't say it's a realistic game but too complicated and restricted. The missions are horrible, starting a mission takes too much time. You have to ride back and forth a long way on your horse and there is a cutscene for every little thing. Some of the cutscenes are useless. The missions isn't even worth completing since you just have to get on your horse after and ride again somewhere else to start a repetitive mission and boring cutscene. Every move you do results in a cutscene. The character has more cutscenes or need to make a movement to interact with an object. Like when sitting, mounting your horse or walking inside a store. The movements could be better and faster. Many missions were boring and not adding anything to the game. How is fishing, taking wildlife photography or help some circus folks catching animals relevant to being an outlaw. There are not really any rewards for completing a mission. You earn money that you end up losing because Arthur dies. There ain't even anything good to spend money on in this game. The weapons are bad in combat and you can't ride fast then the npc can't catch up. I hate that you have to wait or follow some slow npc around the whole game. While playing a mission i rode the horse wagon a little bit in front of the npc who hat to sit in the wagon with me. Then the npc couldn't walk a few steps to get in so i had to start the mission over. The npcs just ruin the game for you. I never felt like I was playing but just waiting for npc. I don't get how enemies can survive three or four shots from weapons. The game is reliable on doing it exactly right or it gets broken.… Expand

Constantly scripted early on so if felt more like a interactive movie. Playing as part as criminal scumbag gang gave me zero interest in the characters living or dying. I thought the saving grace might be the wild west combat? Nah... I did beat the first RDR and the RDR:UN spin off. This time around in RDR2 the more is not better.

    I have never been a big western fan, but Red Dead Redemption was able to change this. Thanks to the great atmosphere, easy to handle but more and more challenging gameplay and a thrilling story which ended for me perfectly. Unfortunately, the second installment of this game cannot hold up with this. It is bigger, more detailled and looks better, but never judge a book by it's cover. To sum it up and give a better overview, I'll give you the pro's and con's.

    Pro's:
    - huge world to discover
    - plenty of missions and side-missions
    - fantastic details
    - vivid environment
    - short loading time in the beginning, no more loading after this
    - some missions are really unique

    Con's:
    - travelling takes way too long, becomes annoying at a certain point
    - no quick-travel given, buyable extra but the game won't tell and if you are over 50% of the story you cannot buy it anymore
    - story underwhelming and predictable
    - story takes too long and is unneccessarily stetched
    - 75% of the missions end up in a shooting and are lacking of variety
    - Dead-Eye mode completely needless, aiming is easy and AI not very clever
    - no developement in difficulty during the game
    - roleplaying elements, such as choosing the right clothes, develop your horse or gain more stamina are completly non-relevant for the success in the game
    - variety of weapons is small
    - always enough money to buy everything you need, makes money pointless
    - if you get attacked on the road by thiefs and kill them while defending, there will be a bounty on your head
    - controls feel unprecise in hectic gun fights or if you need to run and hide
    - the ending just doesn't make sense

    I can only go with many people here, but also friends of mine and say that this game is a disappointment. The high ratings from critics are for me not really comprehensible. RDR2 is a good game, but by far not close to a game of the year candidate. It is not inventing anything new and does not try to. Bigger is not always better. I am giving the game a 7.9 and therefore 7/10 here, because it has not earned a 8/10 rating.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. How can I start, this game. god, this game, a masterpiece in every single level. THE OPEN WORLD
    By far I haven’t seen an open world soo detailed, soo full, and soo beautiful as this one. Most games like this have large maps, like AC odyssey for example, but they’re just soo dull and empty. And rdr’s open world is just soo full. every single random encounter has a story behind them, and there’s a total of 63... and there’s soo many interesting inspectable locations that you can discover. You can find faces carved on trees, a vampire. A war ground, a mysterious tiny church, and a METEORITE and soo much more. There’s about 51 of them, each different and tell a story in their own ways. And this open world is just soo diverse, you have deserts... grasslands, forests, swamps, and snowy mountains... like really, every place feels different. CUSTOMIZATION You can customize every single part of your beard, whether it’s the moustache, the sides, or the chin. And you have the hair, soo many different styles and lengths. And the clothes in this game are great, I only wish you can open vests and add more coats, black coats And just more clothes overall. STORY
    The story of this game is great, truly extraordinary. It sounds mediocre when you sum it up, but it’s really not. Everyone complaining about the SloW PaCe should honestly go **** themselves, rdr2 takes its time to build its character, Arthur morgan specifically. Who’ll I’ll get into on his own. The story is perfectly paced, and it perfectly flows... every single chapter makes you feel different things. Chapter 1 makes you feel new and confused. Chapter 2 makes you feel happy and excited, chapter 3 begins to make you feel the outlaw life chapter 4 makes you feel lost. Chapter 5 makes you feel destroyed, and chapter 6 makes you feel, depressed, and dead. This is what art does people, it makes you FEEL

    GAMEPLAY
    A lot of people complain about the gameplay, which makes me sad. It’s not terrible, It’s immersive, your hat can fall off, you have to cook your own food, You can take a bath to look clean and smell good, you can have realistically simulated scenarios. Yeah sure it can get clunky, only if you run around in tight spaces. take the game slow, walk around. ARTHUR MORGAN He is THE best protagonist in any game, and dare I say is one of the best fictional characters ever written. his actions and inactions throughout the game influences his choices and morality in the end of the game. Seeing Arthur slowly die of showed us a weaker side to the character, but that side is what makes ANY protagonist great. His diagnosis scene shows a clear sense of vulnerability. The tuberculosis is what kick started his change morally, although he still would’ve tried to save John and the rest of the good guys, the illness is what influenced him to dedicate all the time he has left into what he is trying to achieve, Arthur sees himself in John, he sees what he could’ve achieved, an opportunity to find love and live peacefully. And that’s why he wanted to help John, but John isn’t the only person. Misses downes, the wife of the man that gave Arthur TB and the man that Arthur beat up, he beat up a sick dying man. A man that has only done good in this world. He decides near the end to help her, and what I love about his story is the symbolism, the man who picks up Arthur and sends him to the hospital when he blacked out looks a lot like Thomas downes, this symbolizes how Thomas, in a way helped Arthur get his redemption, by giving him The illness that influenced his change in Morally

    EDIT: I decided to continue this review, seeing how the reviews that are lower than 6 piss me off because of how wrong they are. Everyone who complains about this game either doesn’t understand the mechanics or just sucks at it. This game is meant to be taken slow, I remember going back to camp at 11 Pm seeing the gang members sleep and I too til morning... and seeing them wake up And I having to go grab a cup of coffee and sit by the campfire with Javier, and coming back at night to see Pearson, or Javier, or Hosea or anyone telling a story about their past. Is just soo immersive. Yes the game has flaws, but does it? Gunplay is okay if you tweak it in the settings... is it amazing? No. Is it terrible? Definitely NOT. it’s fine. The only flaw this game has (for me) is that it could be much better. I don’t know if rockstar just didn’t think of it or didn’t have enough time but I could think about 40 ideas to improve the game’s mechanics and elements, which are already good The only have nitpicks that could get irritating once in a while. for example, the weight system. I hate how quickly you could become skinny or fat in the game. It can get annoying to maintain “average” weight let alone “perfect” another is how john’s hair in the epilogue is Arthur’s hair dyed black. Which is pretty stupid.    … Expand

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

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

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

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

    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.
