    I've been playing the game on average for a few hours each day since its release but I'm still only at about 50% completion - this should give you some idea of the game's depth.

There is so much to do and explore. Even when wandering around what appears to be an empty, barren but beautiful landscape you will inevitably stumble into some adventure.

    Interacting with NPCs is also hugely entertaining and has set a new standard in gaming. This interactivity helps the game world feel well realised and fleshed out as do the characters in your gang.

    Games work so well as an art form precisely because they offer escapism thus my biggest gripe would have to be the emphasis on "realism". It becomes quite repetitive at some points such as when picking up multiple items or skinning an animal. The inability to run in the camp or indoors is also quite grating.

    As always Rockstar controls leave something to be desired but they are acceptable and with some adjustments do not distract from the gaming experience.    … Expand

    The world is breathtaking due to the sheer level of detail and dense wildlife Rockstar have put into it. Side quests are also worth your time as they flesh out Arthur's character making you appreciate the main story even more. I'm glad I took my time with the game, as I feel that's the best way to play through it. There's just too much there to ignore.

    Ultimately Red Dead Redemption 2 is a sheer masterclass in how to make an open world video game - where the flaws are so minimal compared to the strength of the positives, that it seems petty to complain about them. This will go down as one of my favourite games of all time.    … Expand

    Too slow a game.

    The amount of padding for time that's added because there's no fast travel is criminal. They made a 20 hour game into 40-60 hours because you have to take your horse everywhere.

    Each mission is rinse and repeat.
    1. Take a 8 minute journey to get to camp.
    2. Start the mission
    3. Ride for 10 minutes to the objective at a snails pace talking about **** you already know

    Rich with story, characters you attach too...even your horse, and over 30 hours in, the game still presents me with content thats surprising. I would give this game a 10/10 if it had more RPG elements like stats on clothing and a little more detailed stat layout for guns and your character. Along with upgradable skills. Some how though, the game doesnt even have me worrying about it.

    Okay, so the game is pretty great after it picks up on the open world and mission structure, but for me, at least, that's pretty much it. That said, the game is not a masterpiece, as it introduces many micro gameplay systems akin to simulation, that can be a bit cumbersome at times, but its overall mission structure and world are worthy of many hours playing.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I never touched the previous game, neither was I a huge western fan but this game allowed me to enjoy something I never touched or was interested in.
    The game has a lot of things to do with all mechanics flushed out. The best thing about this game is that there are different ways to do things and to experience things. Just because you are an outlaw, you don't necessarily have to be bad.
    This game has things a lot of other games should have. Things like massive character building, real life based mechanics, repetitive yet different tasks to do.
    But the game isn't completely perfect. The shooting and aiming in this game can be a lot better but it doesn't worsen the gameplay which allows it still feel realistic.

    There are a lot of small little things you have to do, like trying to pick up your hat or cleaning the gun, which can seem daunting but I like doing these tasks, I feel connected to the world and not everything is just running around shooting things like a maniac.
    The camp, trying to help people, robbing people, collecting debt, getting favors etc. There is so much in this game that you can play twice and have a different experience. Being the bad person makes you better at getting ammo, better at looting. Being a good man gives you benefits. You get to choose, but the game would obviously try to make you join the dark side, because it's more fun.

    The graphics are really nice, even for the early base consoles, I've never had an issue and have already put in 12h into the game, which means I have a long way to go.

    TL;DR: This game will fulfill your cowboy, western fantasies, and even if you have no interest, have a test or a look at the game, maybe it has something to offer to you, with more than just what you can see on the outside.    … Expand

    This game is as close to next gen gaming as you can get. Easily the best open world game since the witcher 3. If you enjoy western history or movies you will love this game. The beginning is slow yes, but if you can get past that part and the somewhat clunky/difficult controls the game has, i think you have one of the best gaming experiences of past decade and easily a GOTY contender.

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.

    Free Roam: 10/10 The best open world free roam I've ever seen in a video game, from the random encounters to running away from bounty hunters or lawmen. The hunting is realistic and compelling, you can even study hundreds of different species to know what weapon is used best for the animal. The open world is full of things to do.

The tedious bit in the gameplay such as ,can't craft in bulk, can't buy in bulk, can't buy whole catalogue in one button, maintaining your cores, and oh you have to maintain your horse cores also, and having to equip your weapons again is the biggest nuisance of them all. The fast travel isn't perfect rather a step-back compared to games like Skyrim. The game decides to be realistic than any other game that you couldn't imagine. It may sound like a complement, but no it's a draw-back with this game. Strangers are a side mission addition to this game after you beat the main story, or you can access them anytime you want during the story. I didn't care for this experience, but someone may like this to do something after the story is done or take a break from the main story. The controls for aiming is bad just like the other products i've experienced from Rockstar Games. For the next game please improve the aiming, and the movement. I still don't feel like I have control over the character. Good story, but bad game-play with some complaints that could be addressed with a patch.… Expand

    One of the most engrossing games I've ever played with a living breathing open world to explore. Accompanied by a story that features a diverse cast of well written and engaging characters that invest you in their story.

Accompanied by a story that features a diverse cast of well written and engaging characters that invest you in their story. This isn't a great game because it's flawless, it's a great game because the things it does well, it does exceptionally well and those things at least to me, matter far more than more minor albeit frustrating concerns that many have already addressed.

    The controls are a bit clunky they take some getting used to and they will probably get you into trouble a few times in the early game, once you catch on to the pace of the game and have familiarized yourself this issue largely fades into the background. Another problem that has always plagued Rockstars games is insanely linear mission design, the story being told is well worth this irritation but failing missions at the drop of a hat for not going about it the way the devs wanted you to is a weirdly incongruous approach for a game where outside of missions you can go anywhere and do anything. This isn't to say the missions are bad, just overly restrictive to the point where they aren't using the game to its fullest potential.

    These gripes aside though the game never failed to keep me invested with an immense amount of content to appeal to all kinds I can see myself taking my time with this to 100% it as I do so few games these days as most of them are loaded down with unnecessary busywork, this games side activities require more thought and as such I don't feel like I'm just checking boxes.

    I can see some being turned off by slow pace of the game as the realism certainly gets in the way of efficiency, but it makes the game feel all the more authentic and I was happy for the trade off personally, The gamey nature of hunting in games like Assassin's Creed always turned me off so this is a great change of pace.

    Overall I think regardless of whether it's your cup of tea the boundaries Red Dead Redemption 2 pushes are hard to deny in terms of world design at the very least. This is the kind of exciting game I hope to play everytime I fire up a new one. More, please.    … Expand

This is the    Critics have praised the attention to detail, quality of graphics, and size of the world. The game is visually incredible. What the "Pro" reviewers failed to point out are major flaws that you don't see until you have put a bit of time into the game.

    The controls are barely tolerable. Your character is forced to walk geriatric speeds in camp, buildings, and missions. This is the beginning of the frustrations. Moving on from that you have the lack of no real fast travel. The other faster methods of travel are often minutes away. Riding the horse gets old, especially with it's affinity for going directly into trees.

    Half the missions are formulaic: take a long ride with heavy exposition from the NPCs, who are also **** at you for not going exactly the right pace. Get to a token shoot out. Return to camp. This is interspersed with too many cut scenes. The over arching story is good but it's dragged out twice as long as it should be. A lot of the missions don't need any skill at all, just press X or O when the game tells you, follow the rails to the end goal.

    The side missions are a mixed bag. Poker, Dominoes, Blackjack, just aren't worth playing because of how little they pay out and how long they take. Hunting is okay but it gets overly complicated with the game requiring you to craft special arrows and hit the animal at the perfect spot for the perfect pelt. Bounties are fun, fishing is fun. Looting turns into a chore. Holding X for 2 seconds each time and lining up your character just right so you see the dialog box gets old FAST. Doesn't help also when NPCs are around rushing you.a

    My eyes were telling me this game is incredible. However every time I put down the controller I didn't feel much of an urge to pick it back up. If anything the game feels more like a second job than a fun time. You literally would need a notepad/to-do list to be able to complete some of the challenges. Rockstar forces you to play the way it wants. Which is to take in the world ALL the time, whether you want to or not.    … Expand

    On the one hand, most of what you have to do in the world are chores. Most of the time is spent horse-riding, and a lot of what you can do is just a perfectly executed boring activity. I was amazed by level of details they put into the animation and speech during a game of Domino, a game so astonishingly boring I finished it just because I couldn't believe that was really it. And Domino is by no way alone in this game.
    On the other hand, are the gun fights, which are surely less boring than Domino but not different by the amount you would expect. Auto-aim in this game is ridiculous- you can hit a hare with a bow while fast driving on horse with little to no effort. Combat is more about not getting hit and healing wounds than its about actually aiming because this part is automatic.
    I can usually tolerate boring tasks if they succeed in creating immersion. I did love the boring tasks in Kingdom come deliverance for one because I felled immersed into the character. but what works for a slow paced RPG does not work for a fast paced action shooter like RDR2. There was no way to fill immersed when playing a guy who is pretty much unbeatable from the start.
    So far, I would say the best part of this game is the random events. They are interesting enough to go investigate and does not require long travel.

    Edit after finishing the game:
    While I still stands behind everything I said, I am giving the game +1 for everything else. The amount of content the developers put into this (base) game should be rewarded.
    Sadly, the game is, still, in it's core, a mediocre cover-based 3rd/1st person shooter. The only things it adds on top for the core *gameplay* are:
    Dead eye (time slowing, not very interesting nor innovative at this point)
    No automatic weapons (Good to have, doesn't change much)
    Horses mechanics (Also good, doesn't change a lot)    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Before I get deep I would like to explain my experience with you so that you can judge my critiques and such based on my experience. NO SPOILERS!

    ----I played RDR2 on the PS4-release, not the best way to play this game as its aged hardware is shown in the performance and average load-temps of the console.

    ----I have completed the game 76% my first run, and then I 85% completed it a second run... there is just too much to do. I believe I have a total of 100-120 hours sunk into this game as-of November 24, 2018. I am working on a 3rd play through which I will experiment with decisions and different hunting methods earlier than I did the other two.

    Now, to the straight forward stuff. Basic, need to knows.
    ----Ups:
    - Beautiful: This game is on of the best looking games out today and will not be aging badly for some time.
    - Story: It's no secret that Rockstar puts a lot of effort into making their stories tick like a clock, but this one knocked me off my chair. Not only did it tie up all the stories that needed to be answered from RDR1, but it gave me a new vision of what I had questioned about so many years ago. Great writing and pacing allows this almost 8 season long TV series, continue to intrigue and cause me to think deep, even after several runs. Characters make their own decisions that impact those around them, and Arthur is not told what he needs to think, he comes to his own conclusions and begins to do what he believes is best... Amazing to see a characters with actual humanity.
    - The Living World: The massive open world was to my surprise almost half the size of GTA 5 which at first made me hesitant. But the in gaming, the worlds size only shows it's true form through travel and experience through it; RDR2's world is living, which means every NPC has it's own life it must attend to as you rob trains and steal wagons. The animals behave correctly to situations, and stay together in herds or stay solitary, depending on the species. The world's environment feels real, not some half-ass'd forest shooter... FC4/5.
    - Things to do: Most games today have filler content inside their world to occupy the time of the gamer. Games like most of the AC franchise abused this, making it a very unwanted approach to open worlds. RDR2 thought does not have filler, it has a living, breathing world. People need assistance, animals behave according to your actions, NPC town folk respond to your decisions. You could either rob the store, or gain enough honor so that you get good discounts. Hunting, fishing, story missions, side quests, and random events are all triggered by the player, and this is a constant and it is rare for the triggered events to be similar to the last 10 or so that the player has been either subjected to or suggested to do.
    - The Ending Spoilers!!!: The ending was majestic, gracious, and fulfilling. I had the good ending, so Arthur died with fulfillment of his goal of delivering John safely to a future without outlaws and the untamed westerners. Arther's character arch is satisfying and give the player a sense of a grander scope that Rockstar has built this world into, a universe that mirrors ours. The west has been taimed...

    -----Downs:
    - Performance: On the older console, it does not run well. The PS4 does it's best so it's not the games fault that it's too beautiful. The XBOX One X though has amazing textures and performance, as comparing my PS4 to my friends XBOX X in the town of Valentine, the quality and performance were dramatically better on the newer, superior hardware.
    - Controls: The controls are the same with almost every other Rockstar game, clunking, and filled with different set configurations like half-pulled R2 or RB to prepare to draw for a duel. The aiming is extremely dependent on aim-assist and you would figure that Rockstar would have learned after 4 games but, at this point I think it's just their trade-mark now.
    - Chapter 5 Spoiler!!!: This chapter slows the game, with repetitive missions of go, shoot, slowly walk, shoot, leave/escape. It is a refreshing and nice break from the Pinkerton's and the other stresses of the Lemoyne, New Haven, and such. This chapter could have been done better I believe, with at the beginning, Arthur so happens to wash up only hundreds of feet from his buds, and the ship they were on also gets into a storm... just their luck.
    - Transition into the Epilogue: After the end of chapter 6, the epilogue begins. But what happens in the end of chapter 6 is very strong, and had me shocked, awed, and emotional for more than a couple of minutes, more like hours. But instead of slowing down and just letting the player realize what had happened, to ingest the importance of the events, it slings you into John Marston's farm simulator for a whole half-hour.

    ----Conclusion
    Buy this game... even at a premium price. The experience is amazing for those who enjoy a good story with sophisticated story telling.    … Expand

I understand that it forces the player to discover the surrounding, but sometime I have to ride 10 minutes to get to a location. Other than that the story is average, the loot is average, there is no impact in the game if you decide to be good or bad even if you have a karma meter, the controls take time to master and if you make a mistake it could cost you, for example, you draw your gun at someone and then everyone in town wants to kill you, that also goes when you hit someone with your horse and finally when you go in your camp you can't run..

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't think I've ever looked forward to a game as much as this one, but ultimately I feel a little let down. Sure, the game looks amazing the level of detail is really great. The design is all over the place, however. The game wants to be a survival simulator, making you watch your weight, temperature, etc. This even extends to your horse; if it's dirty it will take more damage. Your horse will be dirty all the time. This means as the gang rides off to a heist, you'll be stuck behind, brushing your horse yet again. I feel like micro details like this should have been flagged during play testing, because no one likes it. No one likes having to scrub each body part in the tub. It's ridiculous. Just give us a bathing animation and be done with it. This sort of busy work is pervasive throughout the game, including the stingy fast travel, which lets you travel one-way (after unlocking it) but still makes you ride long distances, constantly. The beautiful scenery begins to feel stale after the 40th gallop through it. For a long time I dreaded the cheap ambushes by rival gangs, but then I craved them, just to break up the boredom.
    The controls are also awful, even after tinkering with them. 99% of my crimes in town were a result of the controls, either I would shoot someone on accident, or while running and trying to mount my horse I would instead begin strangling an innocent bystander. This made the busy work they give you even more tedious, as I would have to flee town after just trying to come in and take a bath.
    My biggest gripe, however, is with the story, or lack thereof. It's sad that the bar for a 'good' story in video games is so low. This story has no narrative hook, it's a lot of 'day in the life of an outlaw' which again grows stale as you continue missions with your bungling gang. Arthur's story of redemption in cut scenes is marred by your actions in the game. You talk about being a good man and then five minutes later you're back to murdering people for their belt buckles. The game coyly avoids any satisfaction in Arthur's overall story, climaxing with Arthur and Micah exchanging blows through the game's horribly stiff melee combat system without resolution. Then, in a supreme middle finger to the player, the game acts like you are starting a new game and makes you do mundane ranch tasks as John Marston. You'll play this 'new' game for hours and hours before finally getting some resolution in the final chapter (which was great and only about 60 hours overdue). I will say I enjoyed the epilogues much more than the main game, it was the old west world I wanted to play through in the first place.
    The legendary hunts are also a huge disappointment. Hunting is really fun in the game, however, these hunts were the easiest kills! Simply find the clues, run between them, then when the legendary animal spawns, simply plug it with a few explosive rifle rounds and collect the pelt. I wish they had the same stringent rules as regular pelts to add a challenge. To me the best hunt was the rare cougar in the dark cave. That was a legendary hunt.
    Also, while I liked Arthur and found him to be a great character, I think it was a huge missed opportunity not to make Sadie Adler the protagonist of the game. You find her at this disastrous moment in her life, then you could have learned to be an outlaw over the course of the game under Arthur's tutelage.
    Overall there is a lot of great game here (especially the little side stories out in the world, like the widow and Hamish) but I think the game is not a perfect 10 by any means.    … Expand

    There are huge problems with the controls in the game, you could be mounting your horse and click a certain button which could make you grab an NPC, in a crowded area this is basically game over as many witnesses will run and give you a wanted level.    … Expand

    Beautiful game with a great story. Controls can be a bit clunky but never hindered my experience with the game. All the little details in this game really add up in making it one of the most immersive games ever made. I would also like to point out that the base story is worth $60 alone but the fact they are still bringing us multiplayer is such a huge bonus.

Но прежде чем я начну ВНИМАНИЕ ДАННЫЙ ОБЗОР НЕ СОДЕРЖИТ СПОЙЛЕРОВ! Я начну все по порядку, от начала до конца. Я покупал диск через многим известный интернет сайт "eBay". Живу я за границей РФ и думал что игра будет на полностью на Английском языке (Субтитры и интерфейс), но оказалось что игра использует язык системы PS4 а не язык диска, то-есть я играл на русском. Если вы живете за границей РФ то можете покупать Red Dead Redemption 2 и играть с Русскими субтитрами. После запуска игры я в нее быстро освоился и уже начал понимать что к чему (кто главный персонаж и чем он занимается). Затем я играл не спеша, все рассматривали и частенько ходил с лошадью, кстати лошади в игре очень хорошо сделаны и проработанные (прямо как живые). И что меня приятно удивило это детали в игре, я еще НЕ В ОДНОЙ игре не видел чтобы разработчики как скрупулёзно относились к деталям игры! Дальше 3 глава я начал находить баги в игре, недоработки и гличи к слову их тут очень много. Затем 4 глава и вот именно на 4 главе мое отношение к игре просто перевернулось. Я уже почти прошел 4 главу и думаю "ладно завтра проснусь и пройду главу". Просыпаюсь я и осознаю что мое сохранение ПОВРЕДИЛОСЬ!!!!! я такой не понял, перезапустил PS4, все ровно поврежден! Как я узнал? Я загружался 10 минут и нечего не происходило! Зашел в интернет и почитал форумы что не только у меня на 4 главе такое происходит. Нашел решение но для него надо-было иметь ручное сохранение что конечно у меня не было. Вообщем расстроился я но не стал забивать а начал опять проходить только быстрым темпом хочу сказать что "спидранить" эту игру эта одна боль. Все действия за заскриптованные и иза этого возникали гличи и баги. Вообщем после того как в поте лица прошел ее можно сказать заново. И после прохождение до момента где я был я перестал ее "спидранить". Ну и дальше прошел так до 6 главы затем эпилог. И знаете игра заставляет задуматься (не буду говорить о чем иначе спойлеры). Вообщем в заключение хочу скачать что игра 10/10 да баги, да гличи и всякая такая ерунда но, эта игра поистине "творческое искусство". Если у вы можете купить Red Dead Redemption 2 до смела покупайте только сохраняйте в ручную ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО!!!… Expand

Some people said the story was predictable, perhaps they had played the first game so could work things out - this is a prequel, I did not see a lot of the things coming. The story really drew me in and had me feeling good or bad for characters. The graphics and animations are great, it really helps make the game feel alive. There are also plenty of things to interact with in the world making exploring all the more fun.

    One downside to the game is that the controls feel clunky, maybe if you played Red Dead Redemption 1 you will already be familiar so this won't be an issue, but I would often accidentally pull my gun on someone for example. Another issue is that some of the quests are buggy - I spent at least half an hour following someone on a horse because they fell off and didn't get back on.

    Once the game has been completed, there is not much to do at all - bounty collecting and hunting gets dull and repetitive.

    Overall the game is great and well worth purchasing. You should definitely be able to get your moneys worth, just don't expect to be playing it hours a day for months on the same save.    … Expand

And I don't have a problem with my controls. See they have this option in the controls to play with your sliders to maximize your experience. Auto aim is for chumps who run out in a hail of gun fire and kill everyone while getting shot to bits LMAO. Free-Aim is for Pros who like to take their time, find cover, and drop em like flies! If RDR2 had a difficulty option you auto-aim folks would play on "the easiest easy" difficulty. While us gaming VETS would play on Billy "The Kid" Difficulty, which would be the Ultimate challenge.

    Game-play
    It is easy enough to get the hang of it especially after the hand holding segments. And after a short while you'll be popping head-shots here and there. Horse-riding is great and I find myself preferring this method of navigation more than fast travelling so that I can enjoy the awesome environment and meeting weird strangers on the road.

    Hunting is a bit of a mixed bag as they have introduced a new 3-star system rating the quality of the game. You'll have to stop, observe, and then choose the right weapon to kill it for the perfect pelt. This, although quite fun on paper, impacts a little bit on the experience. Because hunting is not really necessary except for collecting perfect pelts in order to upgrade and craft pouches, clothing and your settlement. I find myself spending a bit too much time in searching and hunting. And if you don't perform a perfect kill, the quality of the pelts will be knocked down and you'll have to do it all over again...

    Story
    It was great! For a big fan of the first installment, it was a great ride. It helped flesh out the old known characters and at the same time introduce new distinct ones. The story made sense and is impact-ful. It is a well written prequel to the original RDR. I don't want to spoil the story so i'll leave it right here. All I can say is it will be able to satisfy old fans and new comers.

    The side missions add even depth to the main character as well. Sometimes some stranger missions will let you know more about his past and have more insights into his nature. while other missions have surprising easter eggs that will leave you smiling if you understood what it meant. I'd strongly suggest people not to miss these stranger missions as it is the best way Rockstar had made use of this side mission mechanics so far. and i hope they would keep on doing this to their upcoming franchises (GTA 6 maybe? please?)

    Graphics and mechanics
    Despite the fake HDR thing that's a bit of a let down. This game looks gorgeous in SDR! the dynamic weather system feels realistic and interacts with you. rains pour on you and your horse. mud gets splashed onto the horse as you ride through it. strong winds affect Arthur's walking animation. And most importantly, the horse's balls shrink or hang lower depending on the temperature!

    Small details are put into the game everywhere. you'll smell when you haven't taken a shower for a long time and animals will be able to detect you from a longer distance than usual. animal carcasses will progressively rot if left on the ground. Your horse poops and complains about walking through tough bushes.

    One little gripe i had with the game is the way your horse follows you to the next fast travel location on the train. nearly every time whenever i took the train to St Denise it will become suicidal and walks into the train causing it to be knocked back and drop any large items stowed on it.

    In short.

But once you start sinking in the time, the wrinkles start to show. The world is fascinating, detailed to the finest level and given its size, that's an incredible feat. But the strive for authenticity take some of the fun from playing in it away. Especially the early hours are very confusing and frustrating, trying to figure out, how things work, why in world this size is no apparent fast travel? Why can't you know the bonus objectives while playing the mission (for the first time)? Why are NPC reacting to you in weird and unexpected way? Why is your character behaving strange? Why are you being chased by the law by bumping into random NPC? It takes time to get used to the mechanics and the controls are quite clumsy and unpredictable. That's bit problematic, given that the game expects you to interact with the world very carefully or it will fight back your every action until you get back on track.
    The story is very good, despite you know (if you played the first game) what the events will eventually lead up to, but it builds the already-known characters in quite different way and makes them more life-like, with some genuine motivation for their behaviour, although not always in positive ways. It would be amazing if they could incorporate the cohesiveness between the cut-scenes and gameplay like they did in the last God of war, as the cuts between story bits and gameplay break the immersion, but that's just nitpicking. But what was very disappointing for me, was the story-mission composition. I had a feeling that I was either stuck in a walking simulator which was trying to deliver the story or in shooting gallery, where it felt that every citizen was a lawmen and I killed the population of given settlement many times over in a single mission. These things felt completely out of place given the realistic image the game is trying to create. So, story was interesting, it's delivery although not quite.
    These things lead me to conclusion, that although the game is technically and visually a generation ahead from anything I played in recent months, the other aspects don't quite match this quality. I don't doubt that the game is great, but in my opinion not as groundbreaking as many people (and reviewers) claim it to be.    … Expand

More often than not, also, it seemed to me more like a MMO game than a single placer AAA game, the thing is massive and almost every chapter feels like a AAA game on itself. Everything in this game begs to be praised, the writing (which is magnificent), the music, the animation, sound, even the Graphic design of labels of food, billboards is Amazing. 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

    I like how realistic the game can be, hunting/supplying & working around your camp to get the best out of it. The fact you look after Arthur whether it's eating/resting/washing/shaving etc. It's never once felt like a chore or something, it's just something you do once in a while that has an effect on the game & helps break the missions apart with a greater feeling of a realistic game world.

    I do think Arthur's movement is slightly too heavy & slow. It's not bad, it could just be slightly less & still retain the same feeling of a realistic movement system. Lastly, controls. There's controls galore, it does feel overly complicated with so many different controls to remember & then on top of that with so many different weapon wheels, crafting options, item menu's, dialogue menu's etc. i'm often pushing the wrong buttons or being caught out when the game wants you to be using the dialogue menu whilst a fire fight breaks out. I do see how in some ways it adds to the game, making it a little more complex & it doesn't really lessen my enjoyment however a choice of a simpler system would've been nice.

    But overall i'm really loving this game. It's incredibly immersive, full of content (how games should be for £50+) & unlike some enjoyable but mediocre games you just want to rush through, i'm just really enjoying taking my time with these characters in this brilliant game world.    … Expand

    RDR2 is a flawed masterpiece. Its epic story, narration and its vast, beautiful open world are phenomenal.

However, it is quite baffling to see how bad the gameplay is. The controls are clunky and the AI is rather idiotic. It is a dreadful shooter and yet you will be shooting around for about one third of your playtime! Overall, I still love the game because of the narration and how beautiful it is. However, it is IMPORTANT to criticize it as well, and hope to see games that will perfect the formula.

    To put things into perspective, take God of War. That game has excellent gameplay, narration and visuals. There, you can see they were able to scale it up sustainably and refine the game to perfection. The story is wonderfully told, the pacing is never off and the gameplay is just fantastic! Yes, RDR2 has a more realistic, epic story and a vast open world -- all things that I like -- but it has not been refined as much. Heck, in some ways it is really rough. The only thing that kept me going was the story, the world, the characters.    … Expand

    • Using "fast travel" can lead to game breaking errors regularly

    • Lack of inventory involves spending a horrendous amount of time trying to improve with minimal benefit

    • Gun play must have been pulled from Red Dead Revolver, it's slow, unwieldy, and requires aim assist

    • Forces players to move at severely reduced speeds to artificially lengthen game, there is only about 13 hours of actual game play, but you are forced to move through the game slower in order to make it seem longer to beat.

    • There is a never-ending supply of empty tasks that serve no other purpose than to fill time and continue to slow the player down

    This game severely lacks the creature comforts or polish of a AAA title in 2018. it's boring, empty, repetitive and if I could I would gladly get my money back if I hadn't gotten the electronic download. I would not recommend this game to anyone who plays games for enjoyment of story, environment or elements of play.    … Expand

    To say that I spent more than 60hrs playing the game before even getting close to finishing it was pretty awesome! Some have compared it to Skyrim but in the wild west. I'd likely say it's more like Mass Effect 2, with the GTA Open World. You'll play through the game and really come to love or hate the various character you meet up with.

    Hunting is by far my favorite past time in the game. Either it's for the meat, the hide or if I'm looking for a new horse! It's such a fun experience that I spent almost as much time doing that than actually moving through the story itself.

    The game itself is beautiful and the areas for which you can go to are so diverse you'll never get confused or find them copy pasted. This game is a great work of art and I would highly recommend anyone to pick it up and play through it.    … Expand

    -- the worst input lag I've ever seen in a AAA game. This makes traversal a chore and has ruined my experience of the game. I haven't come across an activity that is inherently fun yet, and the main two parts of the game (traversal and shooting) are both below average

    -- boring, simplistic combat. Auto aim + snap cover + slow mo mechanics, and none are done well. Visually it looks great but there's no depth, even compared to games over a decade old. It's essentially the combat (both in execution and complexity) the 1999 N64 classic WinBack.

    -- unintuitive controls and bad UX. Who thought it was a good idea for "punch" to use the same button as "talk" depending on context?

    -- mechanics aimed at realism/immersion that serve instead to pull me out of the game. Having to cook, shave, and brush my horse isn't immersive, it's just annoying.

    -- deliberate time-wasting mechanics such as long animations, no fast travel, long conversations with NPCs while you hold X to gallop, slow walking in camp, etc. Literally all over the game, too many to write down. At least half of my experience was following a minimap indicator of where to go, which I consider a waste of time.

    -- they implemented an honor system, yet so often in the game's main story they have me being an explicitly bad person. I want to be a noble gunslinger and the game forces me to be a murderer of innocents. Then, after being forced to murder people in a heist and beating a farmhand to within an inch of his life, Arthur is portrayed as being "conflicted" with his violent nature.

    -- the game design seems fixated on creating a "realistic" cowboy experience, yet within one hour you're gunning down dozens of men. At least 3 dozen men in the intro alone, then another 20 in a mission where you break someone out of jail. The term "ludonarrative disonnance" was made for this game.

    All in all, yes the game looks great and the detail is impressive, but it feels like a chore to play and is full of questionable game design. I would go so far as to say it's a bad game.    … Expand

    Great sound, graphics, story and open world but the gameplay is just average. It's just such a chore to play & all the missions end up being the same. Not real reason to keep playing. Average at best.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. [Minor spoilers]

    I can't add much to the positives, those are given by many already and to reiterate, I have nothing to add to these many positive points. Unmatched graphics, compelling story (although temporarily), and a detailed world to explore that we haven't seen the likes of in our lives. The hunting, fishing and the mini-games are some of the most fun things I've ever done in video-games albeit that they are a little unrewarding. But there are some more things that need to be said.

    Quickly going over it, I'll start by saying that this game sets a new standard for the games of the future. Yet it also struggles with problems that should be way in the past by now. Most notably the controls. Most of the time they're unresponsive, clunky, and unsatisfactory. The gunplay is arcade-like with a pop-out-of-cover system that's downright bad. This makes the many missions in the game that involve multiple shooting galleries thrown at you in the form of waves of enemies very tedious. Moving your character feels like you're driving a vehicle, it doesn't feel organic. Whenever I try to stand in front of a desk or something of the like to grab something it feels like I'm parking a truck into a loading bay. The horses don't have a mind of their own outside of missions. This is particularly notable when you look back whilst being chased, perhaps to fire but after mere seconds your horse bumps into a tree or rock that is right in front of it. Another nuisance would be that the game is so full of wildlife that your horse runs over a rabbit about every five minutes of riding. Guns are selected for you in missions and magically appear on your back. To change them back to your preferred set is a chore you'll quickly get tired of. The list goes on. The fluidity and realism in this game is inconsistent.

    It's these things and the very numerous amount of bugs and glitches that really wear this game down over time as you play it. Especially the story, from Chapter 5 onwards it gets mediocre at its best. It's full of retcons, loose ends, and plot-holes. One example would be John Marston's daughter. We never heard a word about that. Another would be that in the first game it was mentioned that John left the gang after having been abandoned during a bank heist. We experience said heist happen, but he still runs with the gang for a while after that. As a final example, we never heard a word of Sadie and Charles in the first game despite them being both alive in the end. It's clear that Red Dead Redemption 2 was not planned or if it was, it surely lacks in some of the writing. Although, the first half of the story is stellar. The new characters are something to take note of, too. You really feel as if these people in the game are relatable. That's what makes them so well-written. It's merely that the story that accompanies these characters could've been better and more realistic. Chapter 5 is what particularly puts me off. It seemed like a tool to skip over some time in the story. In my eyes that particular chapter was pure lazy writing from beginning to end. The epilogue suffered a lot as well. It's length was by no means justified and provided little to nothing to the story. Some parts of the story could've been cut out entirely and it would've been just fine. Dare I say more concise and polished.

    To add, this game falls short in terms of feeling natural. It focuses on realism and the fact that this is your version of Arthur Morgan yet it insults that when you find that your choices in this game mean nothing at all. It also focuses so much on 'realism' that it becomes downright annoying. I have to keep track of my weight otherwise I suffer consequences but in order to do that I to either hunt or buy food for a ludicrous amount of money and then cook it one by one. Or I could eat 10 cans of beans. Right. It just feels unnecessary and particularly unrewarding. It's things like this that are in contrast to the rest of the game which is a movie-like experience.

    It is overall a great game but it really suffers from lack of polishing as well from it's own elements. This is a game that developers can learn a lot from in the future. As much from the good as from the bad. Thank you for reading my first ever review. Have a good day.    … Expand

    This game is a perfect example of what a single player story game should be. There is such a heavy emphasis on narrative surrounding the story and less so on the gameplay, but it does not detract from the experience as the game does a very good job planting your focus on the stunning graphics rather than the relatively easy gunplay or the occasionally clunky horse mechanics.

    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]
