The shooting mechanics are perfect because each gun has it's proper animation meaning when you a revolver the chamber rotates, or when you shoot lever action rifle you pull the lever before each shot. The bullet physics are spot on and the death animations are realistically perfect for the time period. The historical references are all there and make since with tongue and cheek personality as well as impartiality. The diverse cast of characters break stereotypes so this game is not just Grand Theft Horse, This game is a whole new step by Rockstars Games in order to bring back traditional story telling and multiplayer with a vast array of combat and minigames. Poker Dominoes Five Finger Fillet that is only included in the story mode but is reasonable because the Online is in the Beta Fish stage. Also the fist fighting is really impressive with the amount of detail and realism. The level design is perfect because of the amount of realism and environmental effects, So to some it all up the game has very few flaws that can't be picked at because the amount of positives out weigh the negatives. This game deserved game of the year.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I'm gonna split this into two: the online and the story.
    Story: The story was absolutely perfect. Whoever wrote this game should get a reward, the dialogue is great, the characters are well written, the soundtrack is my favorite Rockstar soundtrack ever. Everything was perfect, but the game hits a low point after the Saint Denis bank heist gone wrong. Your ship somehow sinks, you somehow find every gang member on the ship together, and you somehow get caught up in a war. It just seems random. Games like five finger fillet, poker, or just sitting around a campfire at night with the gang is enjoyable. The free world is even better, the amount of detail Rockstar put in this game is incredible. One of the main problems of this game, though, is the shooting. Rockstar holds your hand and once you turn off aim assist, it's like Arthur is blind. The cover system is the worst too, and it's downright annoying. Overall, the story is a 4.5/5
    The online mode- Online is fun in the beginning, you get busted out and in the finale you get to suit up like ghetto iron Man, but from there it gets a bit slow and grindy. Game modes are fun to play, but the free-world is just so stripped of the story mode. They got rid of the side games like poker or five finger fillet, which would've been fun to play with friends. Fishing is the only game you have in online, but it's such a chore to have to rank up, get a bow, have to upgrade that bow. Overall, online in it's current state is lackluster, and a tad disappointing. 2.5/5
    Overall: 7/10    … Expand

    A solid narrative-driven title where beauty often comes at the cost of a lack of coherent and accessible game design.

Most will have fun spending hours traversing the vast open world filled with opportunities and insane attention to detail. Some, however, will find many of the mechanics to be arduous and ultimately unrewarding. I’m somewhere in the middle. I love the aesthetic and the setting rules. But the controls are clunky, the menial tasks required (to e.g. care for your horse, keep your health from faltering etc) are tiresome and the honour system is based on an extremely lame moral compass.

    Having said that, I find a lot of the user scores on here to be quite tedious. Wealth is extremely easy to come by (there are a plethora of locations where there are gold bars, $500, simply sitting there for you to take). Train robberies ARE rewarding if done right. Having a bounty on your head isn’t a pain, bounty hunters are easy enough to kill. The combat with free aim on is very satisfying (although switching between weapons could be smoother and quicker). The world isn’t “empty” at all and the expectation that it would be any different in this sense (more populated) is a little surreal: this isn’t some steampunk recreation of the West with sprawling municipalities, it’s mostly rural and reflects the kind of primitive capitalism of the time. There’s a lot to do outside of the main story. And Arthur is a better character than John.    … Expand

Some of the reviews on here seem by players who haven't got beyond basic training. This is a shame as they have missed out on some dramatic missions. There are always surprises. For example, the stunning song that accompanies your ride back, later on, after the gang has been going through a particularly bad patch. The game is immersive and you want to be part of this world. This is what makes it 97%. Not whether the controls are simple enough (they are fine) or whether you can't transport instantly to sites (there is fast travel later) or that an ageing gunfighter doesn't move like spiderman.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 looks beautiful, has great sound design, great world design and shows detail in pretty much every department. The world is actually full and doesn't feel like a big map with just some NPC's littered across it. With NPC's travelling in various ways, doing things in towns and having random encounters with you the world feels alive. As many games have claimed this over the years, this game actually accomplishes it.

    The story is well told with loads of characters and the protagonist Arthur Morgan, who is the center of moral here and has a excellent story to tell himself. You'll see the end of the Outlaw, with the Van der Linde gang struggling to exist in the new world. It also deals with moral, and how some members will develop due to the changes. Very interesting, and you even get attached to some of the characters. Well done on that part.

    The gameplay itself is very good and well thought out, however... the game actually suffers a bit from trying to be realistic with all the animations, inventory limitations and stiff aiming. It took me weeks before i fully adjusted, which was probably longer than it should have. Sometimes too much realism is negative for your game.

    I did notice quite a bit of bugs while playing, and some mechanics like the bounty system seemed either broken or poorly designed. I had several instances where i would get a bounty for a crime i committed ten minutes before, being miles away. The ability to hide your identity only works on civilians and not on lawmen, which in itself is stupid, and robbing trains is downright unnecessary when the bounty is higher than the loot.

    Hunting is very fun and challenging, but having to watch the skin animations over and over gets old after a while, and having a limit on storing big pelts feels incredibly annoying.

    In Summary, this game impressed me with it's content, quality and size. But it also made me question the necessity of realism in games for the first time. I give this game a 10/10.    … Expand

    La narrativa está muy trabajada, si bien la historia se alarga a veces con relleno innecesario, teniendo momentos cumbre que permanecen en la memoria.
    La jugabilidad deja mucho, muchísimo, que desear. Nunca tienes la sensación de un control total del personaje, el set de movimientos no es nada intuitivo y es muy fácil disparar a alguien con el que quieres hablar o patear un caballo al que te quieres subir. Los tiroteos no funcionan, o son un mero trámite con el apuntado automático o una ortopédica odisea que recuerda a tiroteos de San Andreas. Esto es un serio punto en contra, porque si te apetece dar un simple rodeo por el basto mapa o la historia no te convence, bien por su temática o bien porque te aburre, le resta mucho al juego, puesto que por momentos controlar a Arthur Morgan no sólo no es divertido, es frustrante.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a amazing game with a brilliant story, amazing graphics and visuals and great gameplay and must say has some interesting mechanics and unique ones as well as combat is very immersive and the world is full on detail. the world and game follows in a realist approach and brings many of rockstars games old features ( Like Gta's san andreas ) Weight system and will affect your character, another thing is the weapon hostler and i must say it can be a bit of a problem for some players but i got uses to it as you can only carry 3-4 guns but you will be able to carry more on your horse so make sure to pick out the right weapon when in tense situations.

    Tips.
    1. make sure to get past chapter 1 as the next chapter will be the best for exploration
    2. always stack up on tonic as food won't heal you as it will only regenerate health over time
    3. Make sure to carry horse revive because you trip on very small object like small rocks.

I actually think I enjoy watching others play this on YouTube rather than playing it myself.

    Don't get me wrong, it has some beautiful moments of gameplay, ad the music/soundtrack is amazing. But this game has been an exercise in patience to say the least. Not being able to run in camp, horses slowing down and sprint becoming disabled randomly throughout missions, poor choice of controls, a pointless core system which is completely unnecessary and overly complicated, randomly falling of horses which choose randomly when to jump over a crash or to ignore it. Also, there are way to many collectibles (cave drawings, dreamcatchers, cards, dinosaur bones and more). Why have them? They all amount to the same thing - googling the location and travelling there on your horse (which again, can be a nightmare). The treasure hunting was a very welcoming side quest as each treasure gives a clue to the next's location (adding actual gameplay value).

    I couldn't pinpoint the exact problem - but riding through a town or city was an eyesore and produced headaches. I think it was something to do with a low framerate, but it was just very clunky and NOT smooth. I don't have the latest and greatest TV or PS4 but God of War 4 was the opposite. Always smooth and beautiful.

    I thought it was a poor decision to not have hours played added like in the GTA series. I invested 60+ hours and it would have been nice to see exactly the time I'd put in.

    The online suffers from the same clunky controls and framerate at times and the choice to add player location on to the radar completely killed the different activities for me. Especially the well thought out Battle Royale style games.

    Overall this is a game which could have been so much more if more time was invested in more important areas like controls, and playability. Maybe invest less time in massive maps and more in the actual gaming experience. Having said that it really is the most beautiful game i've ever seen, but the game mechanics and playability, are sadly dreadful.    … Expand

    Из минусов только излишний реализм(динамика в онлайне отсутствует).

You are trasnported back to the wild west, and this game is a prequel to red dead redmeption. You are part of Dutch's gang, which for some reason only has like 10 people.. nonetheless you basically try to survive and reach the "promiseland". Gameplay consist of shooting, looting, side/main missions, hunting/fishing, and some side activities like poker.

    Pros: Random encounters.. you will meet strangers in your travels that may activate a string of side quests, strangers who may try to harm/ and or steal from you, strangers where your choices will effect your "honor", and a lot of random goodies that will organically only happen once, and never again. The random encounters are legit 10/10 in this game.

    Ton of content in this game.. there are tons and tons and tons of stuff to do in this game (not even talking about the main missions), side quests are decent, there are over hundreds of animals, and even some fun side activities.

    FInally, interesting group of characters you deal with.

    The So-So's: The story.. it's ok, but it has the same theme of the walking dead tv series.

    The cons: Unrewarding gameplay... there is legit nothing to buy, and all this game is about is making money, yet what's the point? Another example is hunting legendary animals... only to run 1 second faster?

    Clunky controls.. everyone's complaining about it, nuff said.

    The gunplay... meh..first there's auto aim..then you flick the analog stick up to headshot someone.. try doing this for 50+ hours, and imagine my huge eye roll when there's wave of enemies I have to kill. (and no I will not turn off auto-aim, it's the way the game was designed to be played!)

    The bounty system, total fun killer, remember the early assasins creed game where if you kill an civilian you get de-synchronized? multiply that by 100.. in the middle of nowhere and accidentally blew up an horse.. BOUNTY.. i can literally go on, but I'm sure other reviewers here already has.

    This game is great but it has a lot of flaws.. did I mention there's a decent amount of bugs? I enjoyed it, took me over a month to beat this game and not many games can do that. A huge polished world with magic in every corner, but with a questionable fun factor and flawed gameplay, it's going to be polarizing for a lot of people I believe.    … Expand

Stopped playing the story when you break him out of jail and instead of blwing his brains out when he goes psycho, the game forces you to go along with him and protect him, which means killing an entire town. There's no sense of choice in the narrative until the end, which I'll never get to because **** Dutch and that gang, I'm a lone wolf. Would've left those stupid ****s behind right at the beginning. The narrative was too small in scope, I really don't give a **** about some gang, I want something a little wider in scope. The grandeur of the world felt sharply contrasted by the strict narrative. A choose your own adventure in this world would be sweet. Maybe that's what online is like, I'd better check it out.… Expand

    Да, это гипер реализм, да, прикольно видеть как растет борода у чувака. Как гадит лошадь, как она управляется, как устроена охота. На первый взгляд контента просто тонна и ты хочешь обмазаться им целиком. Но на практике все убивает одно "НО" - дикая скука. Да-да, вы не ослышались, RDR2 мне показалась дико скучной игрой. И еще она какая-то "медленная".
    Во-первых, есть претензии к технической части - она работает в честных 30 ФПС, а для меня, как ПК боярина, это просто недопустимо мало. Минимум 60, еще лучше 144. Многие игрушки я прохожу на хорошем ПК и высокогерцовом мониторе - получается просто очень качественная и плавная картинка. И после этого смотреть на 30 ФПС - это как смотреть замедленное кино.
    Но это полбеды.
    Настоящая проблема кроется именно в скуке - ты получаешь задание - ты скачешь на лошади до него, делаешь это задание, возвращаешься обратно. Мы даже проводили эксперимент - за час игры ты проводишь в седле лошади порядка 30 минут. По сути эта игра - это симулятор езды на лошади из точки А в точку В. Поэтому, какая бы прекрасная ни была бы графика - ездить на лошади половину геймлпея - это не по мне. Пусть там хоть будет 4К и 144 ФПС (такого еще в природе нет, но все же).
    Были большие надежды на RDR онлайн.
    Но тут вообще беда просто!
    Я опасался, что Рокстар сделает некое «недобро» по типу ГТА онлайн с дикими ценами и лютым фармом и, к сожалению, это именно так и случилось. Цены в Онлайн на все - просто дичь, раза в 3-4 выше, чем в кампании, а денег дается меньше в те же 3-4 раза.
    Но есть возможность оплатить все золотыми слитками, которые покупаешь за реальные деньги.
    Причем не только оружие, но и бусты, которые усиливают героя в PVP - то есть из RDR online сделали корейскую, пардон, дрочильню с Pay-to-Win схемой.
    В итоге, из-за перечисленных фактов, я могу сказать что RDR - сильно переоцененная дичь.
    Моя оценка - 6 из 10 и то только из-за скрупулезности разработчиков и вниманию к деталям.
    Такие дела.    … Expand

The artistry in this is second to none. A must-buy for any RDR/GTA fan. Unfortunately there are many infuriating negatives that make me turn it off abruptly. I'm around 80% through the story.

    Pros

    Graphics
    details
    overall production
    story (both pro and con)

    Cons

    SLOW - some lengthy missions are simply cut scenes which annoyingly make you push a button once every 10 minutes to make sure you're awake. Looting and skinning are also SLOW! When given the option of realism or 10 minutes of my life, I'll take the 10 minutes.
    Story - A clif notes version of the story of 5 or 10 minutes would have been great. I haven't played RDR 1 in 10 damn years! I'm supposed to remember the RDR 1 story line crystal clear? This isn't a 2 hour movie we can re-watch, it's a 100 hour game. Some clue in the story to refresh my memory would have been great and I think I would have enjoyed the story 1000% more if I remembered more than the basics of RDR1.

    Gameplay - No less than 4 times, I have wasted precious time in my life because of poor programming. How do you think to put in the most minute details in the game, yet fail on missions. After a mission, you want to loot bodies. As mentioned before, it takes a lot of time. Suddenly, without warning, you will be looting your corpses and suddenly your half hour of looting is lost and the mission resets for "abandoning the mission" or whatever **** reason they want to give you. If you don't want me to loot in a mission, then don't let me loot in a mission or at the very least, let us know when we are in danger of losing all progress. This is something even a bad game 20 years ago would offer.

    Controls - Overly complicated and frustrating.

    Fun - In GTA, you can just go wild and be a criminal or you can try to be a slightly better person. It's all good. Here, you have to choose one or the other. If I'm trying to be good, maybe I want to be bad for an hour and steal a train and shoot up a town. You can do that. It will cost you hundreds of in-game $$$ but you can do it. I get the feeling I am missing out on so much entertainment due to the ridiculous bounties. This is possibly the worst part of the game, especially early on where a simple accidental horse vs horse collision suddenly gets you murder charges and a $50 dollar bounty (increases significantly with each one you kill). This game seems to want to punish you for enjoying the very best aspects of it. Why would Rock Star want to do such a thing?

    Conclusion - It's obvious that they put a LOT of effort into this game. I think a year long beta would have helped this tremendously. The end result is the best looking game of all time, with just OK gameplay. I hope you like overly long cut-scenes regarding a story line you will barely be able to remember from 10 years ago.

    5/5 and they're lucky to get that.    … Expand

    Usually, I believe in rating a game by how well it executed its strengths, to be exceptional at what it tries to do, rather than trying to be decent at everything. But the caveat here is that, the weaknesses of a game should not interfere with the enjoyment of its strengths. The controls/gameplay/quality of life elements for this game is a horrendous mess and to me that detracts from its merits in realism/visual/story, and to be completely honest with myself, I don't even think the story is that great. It is typical off the wall GTA nonsense trying to fit inside a realistic western shell.
    I was on board the hype train because i enjoyed Red Dead Redemption 1 very much back on PS3, so it especially hurts when it let me down.
    It's not all bad, I feel like it's a love/hate relationship when it comes to this game. In one moment I am in awe with the visual or amused by character interactions/dialogue, and immediately followed by frustrating controls and tiresome gameplay.    … Expand

The gunfights happen frequently and they all feel exactly the same. There's no progression in the mechanics and the enemies never change. The story mode gives you plenty of money so there's no real reason to do the side quests, plus there's really nothing worth buying anyway. I wish I had never bought multiple guns because all they do is take up inventory slots and make switching between them a chore.

The original marked a genre defining moment in gaming. Open world games were common, but not as mainstream as they are today. But Western games were-and still are-largely uncommon and unpopular. Rockstar mixed people’s fond memories of Spagetti Westerns with the blossoming open world genre, and a handsome love child emerged. RD2 couldn’t repeat that. The main question everyone has: Did RD2 improve upon its predecessor? The answer: Absolutely not. RD2 is OK in short bursts. But it isn’t pulling gamers in like the original for several key reasons.

    Graphically RD2 is average. RD2 doesn’t look any better than GTA V, its cousin that launched 5 years earlier. Rockstar doesn’t push the boundaries on graphics or performance. Character animations are jerky and galloping horses look hilariously stiff. Collision detection is comical. RD2 is noticeably sluggish because of the 30fps lock. Frames can dip below 20fps when riding horses and walking thru towns. Those jarring experiences ruin the immersion. There’s no reason the PS4 Pro can’t push 60 or even 45fps. A big part of the performance problem stems from RD2’s garbage HDR implementation. Disabling that speeds things up a bit, but not enough. I won’t even discuss the unacceptably long load times.

    The controls suck. They’re a bigger problem than RD2’s lackluster performance. Rockstar still hasn’t made efforts to streamline in-game menus or create modern, accessible control schemes. Its games have the most unintuitive, antagonistic, and inconsistent controls among triple-A releases. Some actions require players press “O” while other similar actions require players hit “X”. And these “Hold X to pay respects” moments pop up all the time. Players can open and close dresser drawers, but they can't close doors. Controls are laggy too.

    RD2 contains character statistics that aren’t clearly explained and virtually meaningless. In-game information such as plant/animal facts are buried behind multiple submenus. There isn’t a quick, streamlined process to view journal entries, review quests, or anything else. The awful sluggish, controls and antagonistic UI elements hinder players’ control and understanding of the RD2 world.

    And it’s all compounded by the relatively boring story that doesn’t throw enough carrots at players to keep them hooked. Other than running around or soaking up damage to build up stamina and health “cores”, character progression is nonexistent. Quests don’t offer interesting rewards. Players are expected to complete the story for its own sake. That’s not enough these days. RD2 doesn’t provide enough guidance regarding crafting, eating, sleeping and other mechanics for players to care about them. But that doesn’t matter since all those systems are half-baked anyway. According to a recent article, only 40% of players actually made it to the half-way point a month after RD2 launched. That's surprisingly low. Even less will finish the game. For a story driven experience, that’s low.

    Considering how much time players spend doing nothing, I’m surprised 30% made it that far. In missions, characters spend a lot of time trotting from point A to B while talking. Or players will spend a lot of time galloping after people while mashing “X” until their thumbs bleed. Once at point B, there’s the obligatory brawl or firefight. Rinse and repeat. Missions are an on rails experiences with one 1 path and 1 outcome apiece.

    Actions determine if your character is honorable or dishonorable, but the implementation is just odd. Killing a man in a duel is OK and encouraged in certain situations. In fact, the story forces players to shoot lawmen and farmers without penalty. But shooting a chicken is dishonorable. Chasing down a man and threatening him into silence after he witnessed your crime is perfectly OK as well. Yet, looting an unconscious person is dishonorable. And honor is affected even if no one is around. That’s right. Committing acts in complete secrecy mystically affect honor. Honor affects things like prices of goods, but there’s no reason to favor one path over the other.

    Despite all the people roaming about, interactions are limited and samey. Even fellow outlaws hanging around the campsite are boring and shallow. Conversations are sparse. There’s essentially no reason to do anything. None. RD2’s world isn’t dynamic enough and its rewards too small for players to get wrapped up in the story or quests.

    RD2 is an unexpected disappointed. Other than the cinematic sequences and large open world, RD2 misses the mark on everything. There’s literally nothing it does well, but critics and fans are forgiving Rockstar because well, it’s Rockstar. At least RD2 works... However, it commits the unforgiveable sin of being boring. Dreadfully so. Rockstar is stuck in past, a spoonful of bitter irony given RD2’s setting.    … Expand

    People complaining you can't run in camp, stay awhile and interact with people (enjoy the moment).
    People complaining about fast travel, it's adequate and allows for some really good random encounters.

    The game is perfect and does things for a reason. People are just impatient.    … Expand

    There are the fanboys, the haters, then there is everything in between...

    I enjoyed this. It was pretty, there were side tasks to keep you occupied, but I also spent a great deal of time shouting at the thing. The controls - dear lord, the controls - are clumsy at best, a liability at worst. If you're playing this, save while in open roam (you can't do this in missions, obviously),    There are the fanboys, the haters, then there is everything in between...

    I enjoyed this. It was pretty, there were side tasks to keep you occupied, but I also spent a great deal of time shouting at the thing. The controls - dear lord, the controls - are clumsy at best, a liability at worst. If you're playing this, save while in open roam (you can't do this in missions, obviously), because you *will* a.) pull a weapon on someone accidentally b.) die due to some janky control mess-up, c.) bump into several people at once and get into a fight, which will escalate out of control pretty quickly.

    I've been lucky not to have the "punch my own horse" issue that others have with the dicey controls (although I've accidentally pulled my gun on a few shopkeepers), but I've been *very* careful. The horses are so well rendered that I'd be horrified at doing so. Seriously, I think I spent most of the first hour or two of free wandering just hanging out with my horse and trying to make it happy. Probably the best part of the game, really. Just being a cowboy, hanging out with your horse.

    But boy, is the control issue annoying. It is, unfortunately, something that is unavoidable in lowering the score.

    The plot, without spoiling anything, is reasonable, but the writing didn't grab me. A great deal of the voice acting, too. I'd put the writing on a par with GTA V, as in "not brilliant, but will keep Hollywood fans amused."

    I haven't played online, because GTA:O in the end just put me off Rockstar's ethic when it comes to online games now.

    Look. I enjoyed it. I played it through. I'm still messing about with it now. Will it have longevity? I don't know. It's big, but the clanky controls are a real problem. DLC would help, but the refusal to put such in GTA V suggests to me that Rockstar will rather pump everything into online if they think it'll make them even richer (will there be a Cowboy Card? Who knows?), but I'm hearing that basic items are ludicrously expensive in the online game, so I can be forgiven for being a bit cynical on that score.

    It is a visual masterpiece (the weather effects are truly stunning, I like the hair and beard growing idea, like Witcher 3 had, I find games are getting better and better at reproducing nature since the early days of videogames - I'm an old guy, so I remember when 8-bit was the height of graphics technology) and while all of this is beautiful, and I quite like just meandering about, I just wish more time that was put into, say morphing horse testicle technology (nope, not a joke, your big fellers spuds will shrink in the cold) was put into writing, characterisation, and making the controls smoother.

    But this old cowboy is rambling a bit. It's fun. Many people clearly enjoy it and are prepared to overlook its faults for its strengths.

    You know what? I'd play it just for the horses. They're worth the price of admission alone.

    TL;DR:

    - Good plot, could have done with better writing though.
    - Very pretty. One of the prettiest games I've seen on a console.
    - The nature effects are magnificent.
    - The controls are at times frustrating and the general interface can be an issue.
    - There are bugs, according to others, but I've yet to encounter many.
    - Some of the voice acting is a little corny.
    - Some of the characterisation is a bit hamfisted.

    This is a very well-developed game, both from a technical and visual point of view. This game has a great plot, we got a lot of exciting, sharp and tense moments in it. By the middle of the game you start to get close to the main character and worry about his fate. I think this is the best game of the year and one of the best in the history of the gaming industry.

However, the game is graphically the pinnacle of gaming so far, and it has that feeling of "just a little bit more" that sucks you in. The game is definitely decent, but it is a little over hyped. I came into the game expecting the best game that I have ever played and I just found myself comparing the Red Dead Redemption 2 to other games that do what it does while maintaining a good feel to the game. It does feel over hyped and that may have affected my experience, but this is still a solid game without a doubt.… Expand

It feels real, I never felt this immersed into the game before. You should not play this masterpiece as a regular game. You have to take time. Go hunting, go talking, get bounty, just explore. Amount of animations that R* put into this game is unbelievable, I love it! It makes game feel alive. Physics are amazing and graphics are stunning. Weather effects are fascinating. Snow....god damn snow is real. Shooting feels fun because gore is there and it looks cool also physics helps. I spent 1 month to finish that game and I will keep playing it. I hope we will get some story DLC in the future.
    PS If you played first part of this franchise you would be pretty satisfied. R* please never change when it comes to single player

I have played like 20 hours or more and I haven´t done 17% of the main missions. The game is HUGE and as others have said, filled with little details. The world feels alive, you will see people doing their usual things all around, it´s a lively game.

    i have read a lot of complains about controls. I have to say I have always played in PC and just now I got a PS4 (mainly to play exclusive games like this and in a future play the new GTA and don´t have to wait a whole year to do it, he he he), so I´m not an expert but for me it has been very easy to get use to the controls, I find them good enough, even for someone who hasn´t been using them for years and years. I don´t understand what are the complains about, but well, they have their reasons.

    I bit of spoiler from here about fast travel. DO NOT READ IF YOU DON´T WANT TO KNOW NOTHING BUT IT´S NOT A BIG SPOILER. I have put a 9/10 because there is a big flaw in the game that could ruin it for some people. I´m talking about the way you move around. There is a fast way to go from place to place but the system is a little bit boring. I mean, there is the upgrade you can get in your camp, but you can only travel from the camp to other places and not the other way around, I don´t understand why not, that would solve everything. Or to travel from one fast location to the other. And yes, you can use the train and wagons but they charge you for that (I don´t know how much because right now I don´t know where to get a wagon.

    But I have to say. Just for this game, it was worth it to buy the PS4, I´m just loving that game very much, I really feel like playing gta in the west and I just love gta so much, so I just love this game, period.    … Expand

    Take Two interactive's grasp on this company in an ironic turn for Red Dead, as it has become the beginnings of the culling of the wild west and the new playground for businessmen, if its online continues the way the story does into Red Dead Redemption as a grave example, you might as well hang up your hat and settle for new pastures.    … 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]
