    Awsome game really injoy every hour i play in it. There are some minor flaws, but this is really a great game that was made with love and attention to small details. Rockstar once again showed everyone what an open world should look like in games.

    YA BEAUTY!

    What is there to say? Rockstar took GTA into another level on GTAV but this time they just stepped up their game onto a whole different level.

    We're on the precipice of a new era in gaming. A new genre is emerging.

    Looks like immersion is back on the menu boys.

    51% complete and have not been bored one minute out of those 35+ hours. Beautiful graphics, entertaining combat, dense cities, impacting decisions, and intriguing character development within the story. All of these characteristics of RDR2 make it an instant classic.

    For those giving this game a 0 - You're cheating Rockstar out of a reasonable score. In no world does this game deserve a negative score. Those reviewers either can't play the game on their PC, over-dramatize rare bugs, or just have some odd kind of hatred towards polished single-player games. Don't pay any attention to the 0's here. This game is as deserving of a 10 as any. The only fair gripe that can be made regards clunky controls and clunky movement from Arthur. There are alternative controller configurations, so it only takes a few hours to get accustomed to Rockstar's "heavy" movement response. All other complaints about the game on this thread are most likely unjustified and unfairly claimed.    … Expand

    Well here is a very good example of why red dead redemption 2 deserves a 10 and not a 9 or 8, But yet im gonna talk with the downside a little bit and hope that Rockstar will fix later on in future games the movement system with that x tap and not to mention that sometimes the character walks way to slow and when youre holding the x button he sprints and crashes into people and you loseWell here is a very good example of why red dead redemption 2 deserves a 10 and not a 9 or 8, But yet im gonna talk with the downside a little bit and hope that Rockstar will fix later on in future games the movement system with that x tap and not to mention that sometimes the character walks way to slow and when youre holding the x button he sprints and crashes into people and you lose honor and even the horse riding is a bit of a pain they could at least make the movement in the game like TLOZBW Nintendo nailed the whole movement system perfectly but i know rockstar could take it to the next level with their realism POV (overall rockstar the movement is clunky and annoying at times) ... Now that thats out of my way (ill try to keep it short) the rest of the game is a 10/10 cuz you have so much to do besides story missions, you have fishing, hunting, horse caring, bounty hunting, side missions, attractions, and even just exploring the whole map is an adventure of its own ! i really see things where rockstar are taking their games and its definitely the step up in video games ! the story is outstanding with such a powerful voice acting ! and the actors on the cinematics are very talented ! the game sometimes even questioned me if im playing a real life story of another person or is this one of rockstars biggest game right now and they have totally nailed it on both ! the game is alive and very accurate in the historical time and age of outlaws right before ww1 and on the time of the countries civil war and the immigration to the usa... By far i think im just in love with this game the soundtrack the activities of mini games and just hanging around and doing chores in the camp and so much more that i mentioned before i am enjoying every bit of it ! and with all of what i have done in the game im still hungry to enjoy it more ! people all over youtube are finding more stuff and references in the game i also think i should do review videos to get into many more specifics but for now i do highly recommend this game ! this is the kind of game that should be in everybody's library and i am looking forward to see whats next with rockstar those guys are talented and even the people in the studio are very much talented and even the people in the game all the characters and npc's are very very talented i am very much in love with this game ! and did i also talk about the action on horses and gunplay? well thats where the game is a true wild west and you also need to take care of youre weapons and horses the shooting is sublime as well is the horse riding and chasing the action in this game is superb !!!! Even the progression system is super rewarding and i love the honor mechanic also it really makes a good change for your world in the game !! Overall this is a game i will never get out of my mind in ages i truly love this game!!!!… Expand

I’m not sure if I’m a big fan of westerns but I sure like a lot of them, and similar to the last entry, this game has a lot of references, even tho in my opinión it seemed to me that they took a lot of inspiration from Tarantino’s D’jango Unchained and Hateful Eight in a very good way.

    There’s a lot of things and themes they managed to discuss here, current themes that can easily be applied in the game’s exaggerated and romanticized World and they did it great. As for its main character, I fell in love with Arthur from start, it has the perfect balance of cold killer and sweet guy, and as outrageous that sounds it Works flawlessly, Arthur is now easily one of my top 5 characters in gaming.

    Not everything in this game is perfect, there are some minor technical issues that can be sometimes frustrating but never a big deal, also there's a lot of "walking" both at feet and on horse so if that's a problem to you, maybe you can skip this game, but it also encourages you to explore and find new things at every corner, similar to Breath of the Wild.

    I think that this game is not for everyone, I think I can compare to a Nolan movie, sure is a blockbuster Hollywood movie but is well done and has a lot to say that can separate itself from the rest. I love how the characters made me feel angry, happy and sad, and those moments where I totally transformed into a gunslinger will stay with me for the years to come.    … Expand

    Quality. That is what this game is. Many try to do what Rockstar does, and many fall flat on their face. There is a reason why Rockstar takes years to develop their games. It's because they value QUALITY, rather than quantity.

I havn't done that since I was a teen. So you can imagine how good a game is when you deny the D to a woman just to play a game.

    I havn't felt so apart of a video game world since Skyrim. Its that good. The level of detail is through the roof. The level of polish is through the roof.

    2. Story missions are well designed and hand crafted, the level design is really good, always there will be objects where you can take cover and shoot enemies, you can even do stealth but i would say go guns blazing if fan of cow boy movies
    3. The bounty system is well designed, you cannot go rampage in town, the bounty on you head will keep increasing and then you have to pay the money else it will become very tough to even pass through the town.
    4. You can upgrade the camp which gives nice reward, read description carefully to upgrade right things

My favorite part about it though - just like GTAV - is how the world just feels ALIVE. The NPCs are unpredictable, varied, and react to you in numerous ways. The huge map is littered with loot, animals, secrets, random events, sequences, and quests to keep you busy. Things are constantly happening, and curiosity is often well rewarded. Players are still finding new and unknown things! My only complaint is that the bounty/wanted system is a bit janky, but it did not detract from the overall experience for me. I greatly look forward to the multiplayer and/or PC release.… Expand

It is truly a masterpiece. The visuals are the best I have ever seen. I play it on PS4 Pro, I am sure Xbox One X is just as good, maybe better.

I don't care, it looks great on PS4 Pro. The only negative thing that I have to say is that riding the horse is clunky. It doesn't handle well and it gets annoying, but it's not worth taking any points off. Also, when digging through drawers or cabinets, it is tedious. I don't let those 2 things ruin the game for me. The overall gameplay is amazing. Gun battles is fun. I have encountered a few. Hunting is fun, even though after hunting back at the camp gets pretty graphic. Everything about this game is fun and it lives up to the hype 100%. I highly recommend this game even if you didn't play the first one. This is a prequel anyways, so you really don't need to play the first one. If you are looking for a game to take over your life (in a good way), this is the game!… 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]
