    Before getting the game I read that many people thought the controls were clunky and the game is slow paced. I was wary of these problems but have been curios about the game so I bought it anyway. The game is visually stunning.

Everything from the trees to the snow and mud surprised me because of the amount of detail that was able to be achieved on a base PS4. All the dialogue in the game is great. The combat I think is fun because of the ability to switch weapons on the fly and the dead eye mechanic. The game is pretty slow paced because of the need to travel everywhere on horseback(before you unlock fast travel to that location). I enjoy traveling everywhere because of the soundtrack, the environment, the random encounters. and all the animals you run into on you journey. I was really immersed in the world and played nearly a whole 12 hours straight. I just couldn't put it down. The only other game that has done this for me, (but not just at the level of RDR2) was The Witcher 3. I consider myself a patient gamer(reddit) but heard of the massive amount of content in this game and thought it'd be worth it(and it was). I am only 12-13 hours into the game and only 15% done with the story. I recommend this game with all of my 9 finger tips. Expand

    This game is an incredible experience if one allows oneself to give in to it - my advice upfront is not to play this whilst rotating other games, but to commit oneself to it.

    Don't pay attention to critics who say the controls are clunky and minor details are a chore - controls take time to get used to, but once figured out they become intuitive whereby basic actions like drinking coffee, loading your horse saddle with items, drawing from your saddle when dismounting etc. becomes all second nature to your control of Arthur.

    The atmosphere achieved in this game, made possible by the graphics engine, voice acting, musical score, and sheer level of detail in the open world is unlike anything I have seen before.

    It might be boring for some who want an action based game, but for those who want a deep, atmospheric experience, and who can allow themselves to be patient in learning and reading up the basics will be highly rewarded.

    If you give it a go play with the mobile/tablet app alongside - put the map on this whilst turning on only the compass ingame - creates an even better experience imo.

I've played about 3 hours of this game so far, and while I think the beginning starts off very slowly I did find that it picks up speed as you go along. I am excited to continue playing this game and I may edit my review from a 10 later on. But for now my score is based solely on erasing at least one of those ridiculous bot reviews. Expand

    And gameplay is perfectly fitted with this setting, just have to mention this trick with revolver returning to your holster via double press L1, you just feel that Arthur spin it and return to holster.
    And plot... Just perfect, I'm on chapter 3 and can't stop discovering new features.
    This game is only one that can push me on buying Xbox One X, because it gives the better performance in this game.

You do not give a **** about the rest. BUt for the rest of us who ENJOY(the most important word) games and take this games with calm, this game is a **** MASTERPIECE.
    The gameplay, the riding(althought is true that you miss the fast travel)... But the most important thing about the game, the history.... I can not tell u with word the feelings that this history marked something in my videogames history.
    In conclusion:
    -if you are the type of player who does not enjoy searching things or doing extra activity`s i can understand that the game can be boring.

I started playing at midnight on the release night and I couldn't be happier. They have truly created something special. I ran around for more than 4 hours in the opening area alone just looking at everything and touching everything. It's a fantastic time user. I've talked to every single NPC I've come across just so i don't miss anything. Arthur is on par with Marsten in terms of player characters. I love the bond you actually form with your horse. You might already know what becomes of the Van Der Lin gang after playing Red Dead 1 but you have no idea of how it gets to that point playing Red Dead 2. This is a generational achievement and I feel privileged just to be able to experience it. Expand

    About the game: Right now I am somewhere at 23% storyline progress and 25% overall progress. After... I don't know how many hours :D. If you loved GTA V this will be big adventure and great title for you. RDR2 is going in another level of interactivity and immersion here. Graphics are just good, but in some places there are looking kinda post-GTA (and I don't know why, but main character is looking for me like he has something in common with Michael De Santa).
    This game is big and gorgeous.

    Minuses:
    - Some controller mechanics are not that easy to understand properly, so you can do them not so well some time,
    - This game is big: there is fast travel to unlock in your camp, but sometimes you will be dreaming about train station or cart nearby...

    The only other Rockstar game I ever played was GTA 5, that I bought mainly because I was intrigued by the 97 score on metacritic. I wanted to see for myself what the fuss was all about. While I loved the world, story and characters in that game, I felt that the controls were clunky and not responsive enough and the menus subpar, all of which somehow lowered the quality of my playtime.The only other Rockstar game I ever played was GTA 5, that I bought mainly because I was intrigued by the 97 score on metacritic. I wanted to see for myself what the fuss was all about. While I loved the world, story and characters in that game, I felt that the controls were clunky and not responsive enough and the menus subpar, all of which somehow lowered the quality of my playtime.

    So when Red Dead Redemption 2 was released and many players complained about the same gameplay issues in addition to too many animations and a very slow pace, I was skeptical. I didn't start the game for another month because of a fear to be disappointed. I waited until the moment was right for me to start it. And what an adventure it has been.

    Yes the pace is slow, yes the way Arthur Morgan controls is sometimes slow and clunky (especially in the camps and areas where you're not supposed to run), yes button mapping is not ideal and leads to the occasional unwanted fights and bounties on your head. Yes, there is an animation for almost every action and it can takes quite some time to loot all the ennemies down after a gun fight. This is all frustrating. Yes, the fast travel is limited. However, in my mind, this is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things. The positive points for RDR2 far outshine the negatives.

    The world around you feels alive, with more possible interactions that you could ever dream of. The graphics are stellar and the panoramas stunning (I wish there was a real photo mode in the game). The map itself is beautifully designed and varied with many biotopes, there are more details in this game that one can discover in 200 hours of play time. The story is very well written and moving. It's slow to build up but that is the time necessary to get attached to the characters and really feel it. As far as I can remember it is the only game that made me shed a tear and felt like a gut punch. The characters are deep and it is a pleasure to discover their lives and interact with them.

    The game is long, and the slow pace allows you to take it all in and is essential to the overall experience. Do I wish that there was a more extensive and more practical fast travel system ? Yes maybe... But actually no. Because now that I finished the game I fondly remember all these hours riding around on my beloved horse, I remember this feeling that I was actually travelling somewhere to accomplish something, and not just choosing a location on a map and teleporting to it, admiring these landscapes along the way, hearing all those sounds. I almost feel nostalgic about it now. As if I went on an adventure with a group of friends. I want to talk about my experience with people as if I lived it myself. Listening to music tracks from the game transport me immediately back to these days.

    In conclusion, what an experience that was. It was something completely new, a game with which I interacted like no other games before. Despite its shortcomings, Red Dead Redemption 2 is not really a game, it's an adventure that takes you for a wild ride all while sitting in your couch. If you can allow the game enough time to suck you in, don't say no to a great adventure when it knocks on your virtual door.

I got used to it after awhile. It's not a game for everyone. I have played it in a laid-back manner and I'm enjoying the pace. During one session I did just focus on hunting and finding legendary animals and it was one of the best gaming experience I have had.
    I applaud Rockstar for making a game that is very different to all the fast-paced action which is usually what AAA games are these days. The game feels mature and interesting. It's a great ride.

It conjures many emotive levels within the stories of the land of Red Dead, sadness for the balloon man, hatred for the gang leaders, gutting regret as people turn on each other, etc. But one thing is excels in is the quality of the stories and even adds the quirky ones like the scientist and his 'Frankenstein' style robot experiments, and Mr. Black and Mr. White, the lovable arguing fugitives you can choose to help or not, or the ornithologist who likes photographing wild animals using you as bait. All this is on top of the train robberies, shootouts, poker playing, drunken barfighting fun that's in store. It's a whole wild west world you have to explore here, and it's donw incredibly well. I'd like to particularly mention the soundtrack as a few proffessional artists have featured in thought provoking, stylish cut scenes within the game. It's a hell of a journey you can take Arthur Morgan on, so make it a good one...or a bad one...your choice. Expand

You pick your name, as well as decide male or female character to play, (your playable character will NOT speak at all) apart from whistle and speak to the horse, pick your looks then head into. Now it appears it’s not online as speak cos nobody has interacted with me or tried to kill me but I’m sure these will come in time. RDR2 & RDR2 Online well what can I say. Keep on bringing the joy.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an absolute masterpiece, and in many ways just as much a work of art as it is a game.

    After having finished the game completely and having started all over again, putting more than 100 hours into the game, it is for me now the time to write a review. And I'm in absolutely blown away. Never has a game had this impact on me.

    The amount of detail put in the world is unprecedented, the story and character development is absolutely amazing.

    The world of Red Dead Redemption 2 is so beautiful, sprawling with detail. The sights are jaw-dropping and the people and wildlife in the game is so well-made, that I actually often felt like I was in the US in 1899. Everything in the game has a purpose, the people in the towns and farms live their everyday life and can all be interacted with in several ways. The animals behave realistically in a way, where I often caught myself just studying their behaviour. And the world itself is just so interesting, detailed and beautiful with so much to see and do.

    The story follows Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang and goes into detail with their lives in camp, their struggles to stay "free" and independent in an industrialising world, where there is no more room for the likes of outlaws. All the characters are deep and interesting, and it is possible to get to know all of them very well, should you so desire. And the end of the game, I felt I knew all the characters, and I was deeply moved by how the story developed.

    I do not want to get much more into much detail about the different aspects of the game.
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a very mature, slow-paced and in many ways realistic experience, which may not appeal to all types of players. But I promise you, if you give it a chance, this is a game like no other, with more depth than any other when it comes to the story, the world and the characters than any other game. The way alle these thing are put together made the game absolutely flawless for me.

    This is the best videogame ever made. Period.

    In English
    The video game of Red Dead redemption 2 far exceeds the first part. Those of RockStar if they put care so that the product comes out the best possible. This second part, although it is known as a prequel, provides a truly incredible experience, is to be in a film from the distant west of decades ago. It is perceived the hostile and dirty environment of how that era could be. There are more details such as the relationship with people, with the horse, with the companions of the protagonist's band, etc. You can play more than 100 hours with main missions, secondary, board games, and exploration. In general it is a conservative video game, but what matters is the experience that the video player wins or acquires. Recommended.

    Easily one of the best games of this generation. Gunplay is spot on, it’s designed to be not just straight auto lock on like other Rockstar games, people are mistaking this for “clunky” controls.

    I didn't want it to end. I lost count to how many times I was left speechless and in awe of what I was watching / playing. I confess there were also a couple of moments that brought a tear to my eye, such is the quality of the story, voice acting, motion capture and overall realistic mood of the cutscenes.

    I've always liked and played GTA games, since they were in 2D. But RDR2 is on a completely different level, even compared to GTA V IMO.

    I won't spoil anything but I'll just ask you not to skip the end credits (yeah, some people do that ^^). It's worth your time. Also, there's someone in there who played guitar, keyboard, bass... "and all kinds of weird instruments". ^^

    I can now say this is GoTY for me. I think the deciding factor for me is the historically grounded (and accurate replication) of the world and the story.

    How to define Red Dead Redemption 2?

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a teaching, a sensory experience, something timeless.
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is simply the wéstern made into a video game.

    *STORY*: United States, 1899. The decline of the Wild West has begun and the forces of law hunt the last bands of outlaws. Those who do not surrender or succumb are killed. After a disastrous failed robbery in the town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and Van der Linde's gang are forced to flee.

    The script is based on a simple idea, but it is so well written and developed, with magnificent characters and performances... that this video game is simply going to be unforgettable in the retina of those of us who have enjoyed it.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Realistic (within the limits of the format) and, therefore, rough and uncomfortable the first hours (especially the fact that the character walks so slowly), but there is its magic. Its simulation.

    *GRAPHICS*: In the artistic and graphic aspect it's simply perfect.

    *SOUND*: Due to its tight number of musical pieces, its musical aspect doesn't stand out like other great ones (TLOU or DOOM, for example), but the few pieces that there are are impeccable.

    *INNOVATION*: The original RDR already marked the steps of its sequel (in spite of its great differences in how they are played), but it simply marks a new culmination of the world.

    А что касается геймплея? То тут все очень реалистично: оружие клинит, его необходимо чистить, уходит время ан перезарядку, стрельба просто шикарна, чувствуется отдача и мощь оружия.

    Вообще игра года 10 из 10! Это бриллиант игровой индустрии.

    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.
