    This game is masterpiece and many can be said to praise it, BUT:
    1) It's going boring close to the middle
    2) No quick transfer in so MASSIVE open world and sometimes the games transforms in Simulator of Horse Riding.
    It's must-to-play but you're to be VERY patient

However, this game isn't perfect and is far from it. There are multiple bugs I've encountered, weird animations, bad pacing, and bad mechanics. Despite all of this the good parts of this game outweigh the bad, so let's get into this.
    Before I dissect this game, let me lay down a few things. First, I'm only going to be talking about the story and not about the online component of this game, because that requires a whole other review. Second, there are going to be spoilers, so if you haven't played this game be aware. Third, this review will probably miss a few things but keep in mind this is my first review, so let's get started.

    To begin this review, let's start on the world of Red Dead Redemption 2, which is obviously the strongest part of this game. When you are just roaming the open world of Red Dead Redemption is when the game's at it's best. You are instantly immersed in the world and really feel like a gunslinger cowboy. The world is so in-depth with about 70 different species of animals all fully animated and given different interactions. As you ride around the world, you will encounter random little side quests that require you to help people out or maybe the people trick you and try to rob you. The world is huge and even after you finish the campaign there's still so much to explore. On the service, the world might seem very shallow because most of your time is just riding your horse around open plains, tall mountains, snowy forests, and hot desert plains. But, if you take a moment to look around, you can see so much is there for you to witness and experience. All the NPC's have specific routes they follow during the day and night and all these specific actions that they take apart in. After using your gun's for a while you have to clean them so they function properly, you need to maintain your health, stamina, and deadeye cores, you gotta change your clothes so they fit the environment you're in, and so much more. When all these things come together, it feels amazing but it's very rare when all of these work so well. That's the main problem with this game, all the components are so vast and complex but don't always function the way they are supposed too and the game's always flipping between letting you do everything by yourself to then holding your hand like a little child. This leads to the biggest problem with this game, control.

    Control is something that every game strives for, maybe the game wants to control you on what to do and when to do it, which is perfectly fine in a game if they stick with it. Or, maybe the game wants to have no control over the player, which is also fine if the game sticks to it. However, Red Dead Redemption 2 is constantly flipping between letting you do whatever you want and holding your hand like a baby. One moment the game is letting you explore every little thing the way you like, you see a woman getting harassed, you can either watch it or intervene and try to help the problem. You see an animal as you are riding your horse, you have the option to hunt it or just let it live its life. Need some money, you can go get an honest job, or you can go rob a train to get money fast. That's all amazing but the game constantly, as I said before, is holding your hand. Which leads to the missions of Red Dead Redemption.

    Let's first start with the side missions of this game, then we will get into the main missions. Most of the side missions feel so fun to do, and at times feel like main missions. Most games have trouble making a gamer want to do the optional content but Red Dead Redemption's side mission's lure you in with its charm and just doesn't let go. Each side mission takes you into the life of all these NPC's and makes you want to learn more about all of their stories, and the characters are another strong point of the game. However, the main missions are a bit of a different story. Like I mentioned early, the main missions constantly flop between linear and open and it just doesn't work as well as I want it too. Which is sad because I love a lot of the missions and the concepts they introduce but are just ruined by some of the choices Rockstar made.

    Now let's get into the final part of the review, the characters/story. I love so many characters in this game, all of them are so well crafted and have so much depth. However, the only problem with this is there are too many characters for me to keep track of. These characters are still so good and I love every second that we got of them. Now the story, the story is absolutely groundbreaking. I love so much how Arthur is conflicted with wanting to be good, how he is good but knows he won't ever be due to the Gang. I love the ending of Arthur's story too, as he starts to break apart from the gang and wants a better life for everyone.    … Expand

    This game has some major highs and lows. (No spoilers ahead).

    The good: The world looks and feels amazing. The world is “real”. Very well written characters and a good story. Arthur Morgan is fantastic and very well acted. The graphics already feel next gen. The bad: Terrible controls. It’s sluggish and it feels like enemies move faster than you and like they have the upper hand.

    The bad: Terrible controls. It’s sluggish and it feels like enemies move faster than you and like they have the upper hand. Even though the world is so open you can do anything you want, playing like a bandit and wrecking things the GTA way becomes extremely punishing. While you can perform robberies in any store, it is often not a good idea to do so since this game will punish does acts more than it rewards them. You’re almost forced to stay on track and be a good sport if you want to move ahead. Outdated mission design that feels last gen. The story is good it goes on for too long and parts of it feels unnecessary. Horseback riding is a drag and there is almost no fast travel. You’ll end up riding around A LOT.

    The ugly: I actually like the controls and mission design of GTA 5 better than RDR 2. And GTA 5 was released by the same developer in 2014.

    Verdict: Very memorable game, but it comes with some major gameplay frustrations which makes what could have been the best game ever made feel like a remaster of a PS3 game which is already outdated on release.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Великолепная игра. Может быть герои и не так хорошо прописаны и ты понимаешь их только при повторном прохождении, но это компенсируется отличной графикой, игрой актёров, музыкальным сопровождением, кастомизацией, оружиями, конями, механикой игры, вниманием разработчиков к деталям.

    А сюжет просто восхитителен. Первая глава про то, как бандиты скитаются в заснеженных горах. Во второй и третьей главах ты начинаешь осознавать цивилизацию. В четвёртый ты переезжаешь в огромный город Сен-Дени и поражаешься тому, сколько разработчики уделили внимания к игре. Но после дерзкого ограбления в Сен-Дени путешествие вообще не заканчивается и подкидывает неожиданный поворот номер 1. Корабль рушится и ты уже просыпаешься на острове Гуарма в плену. Шестая глава (как по мне так самая лучшая) проясняет все загадки и даёт тебе просто незабываемые чувства, а после смерти Артура действительно хочется рыдать. И после всего этого тебя переносит на несколько лет вперёд, Где начинается геймплей за Джона Марстона. Мне эпилог не сильно понравился, но я могу сказать, что это самая необычная глава, где ты играешь в основном лишь за простого фермера, для которого самое важное в жизни это только семья. А последняя миссия в RDR2 это просто шедевр.    … Expand

    This is a really hard game to rate - as it's a love-hate thing for me. The game is technically amazing - beyond comparison. So much care and love has gone into it - and it has pushed my poor PS4 to its limits. There are so many amazing experiences in the game. So many hours of fun and exploration. However, there's also a lot of banal time-wasting in a sea of nothingness. The real problemThis is a really hard game to rate - as it's a love-hate thing for me. The game is technically amazing - beyond comparison. So much care and love has gone into it - and it has pushed my poor PS4 to its limits. There are so many amazing experiences in the game. So many hours of fun and exploration. However, there's also a lot of banal time-wasting in a sea of nothingness. The real problem with the game is as a sandpit experience it's brilliant. You could live this life and never feel discontent. However, the game forces you (literally) to take an extremely linear 'scripted' approach to playing that it becomes a war of wills - if you submit to the 'my way or the highway' approach, then you will enjoy... otherwise you will never get to enjoy what this game offers. For a vast open world game - the 1P experience downright punishes you for being bold. As a result it is programmed for the weakest players to complete - which means you feel like you're playing a TT game more than an open world game. What I found particularly egregious was that you would start an innocuous sounding mission only to find that you are now embarked on a 4 mission marathon... without any opportunity to save or take a pause. Great if you're the only one using the PS4, but like most people you need to share, which doesn't work well when you can't save progress or pause between missions. I undestand the narrative pace part... but please... we live in the real world. The other thing that was annoying about this game was that there's never any real increase in difficulty - it's only more and more enemy. To the point where I seriously doubt anyone could keep track of the number of people that Arthur guns down... which is at complete odds with the whole redemption arc that is forced upon the character. So there's a lot I didn't like (in fact hated) about this game... however, I WAS one of those that was prepared to just invest my time in the 'experience' and go along for the ride. Oh - but if you've not played it... the one advice I would give is that don't worry about money - or how to spend it. This is perhaps the most badly designed part of the game as it completely undermines the entire premise of the story. Stoopid. Just completely stoopid. As a I right this - I wonder why I gave it a 9... but it's for all those moments of joy... and just cringe-worthy fantasy-living experiences.

    Edit - on reflection, I actually think the limitations and constraints imposed on the 1P game really detract from the experience - in an otherwise brilliant game: dropped from 9/10 to 8/10    … Expand

    I honestly disliked this game and I hope to never play it again.

    Now that I got your attention, hear me out: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a technical masterpiece in the current generation.

The way you tread through the snow in the dark,    I honestly disliked this game and I hope to never play it again.

    Now that I got your attention, hear me out:
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a technical masterpiece in the current generation. The graphics are one of the most visually stunning presentations of the whole franchise. I love how the sun shines through the trees on an early morning. The way you tread through the snow in the dark, and the fire your carry gently glistens on the floor, and how you ride into the sunset as the shadows of the mountains slowly cast upon. Those are small romantic moments that make this game absolutely memorable. The nature in this game is breathtaking, it feels like that this could exist in real life. The character models are also excellently crafted.

    The soundtrack fits lovely into this world with slow guitar solos that emanate a typical westerns sound, but still tends to be unique, and have other lovely tracks that make the whole experience a wonderful journey.

    The gameplay itself is fine. You have a mass amount of activities to do like hunting wild animals, skinning them and trading their fur for items, going fishing, playing poker, chasing bounties, searching for artifacts, feeding your horse, cleaning your horse, buying guns, polishing said guns, maintaining yourself, doing chores for your crew, donating money for your crew, helping your crew, have you noticed a pattern right now?
    This game is pure micromanagement. Why must I clean my gun? Why do I have to skin animals? Why do I have to keep my horse happy? Why do I have to replenish every stat? I'm well aware of the reasons for these, but it feels absolutely tedious having to do all these chores just for a minuscule reward.

    The actual gunplay is equally fine. It doesn't have anything unique to bring across the table, which is not necessarily bad. I, for one, enjoyed the shooting, the cover-system, the use of the Dead Eye (even though I honestly wished they could have improved that better, like regenerating itself without having to use medicine).

    Then there is another problem with this game and it's a major one: the story.

    The story itself is not bad. It's well written, the characters and their development throughout the journey is intriguing. The problem, however, is the story keeps on going on and on, drags itself continuously and when I think I'm close to an end, it just keeps ongoing. I tried focusing only on the main quests and even then I still didn't come to a part where it felt like I was finally coming to a closure. The characters also claim to be one the best bank robbers in the world, and yet half of their missions are botched that I honestly question their abilities.

    The reason I bought this game was because the majority praised the first Red Dead Redemption as one of the greatest games ever. And with the hype surrounding this one, I wanted to be apart of this. I made a mistake with that assumption.

    Just to be clear, the game is good for what it is. It does its job well, however, overstays it's welcome. If you are a fan of the first game, then you will definitely enjoy this game. But if you dislike the Western genre and tried to see this as a part of the GTA experience, then I would avoid this and just buy GTA.

    Good game, unfortunately, not my taste.    … Expand

    However, even with these good points, my score was going to be a 7 (until I hit Epilogue Part II, which I just loved and brought the game back up to an 8). I was going to give it a 7 for these reasons:

    BAD:
    —Really clunky, awkward controls. In the balance between ‘cinematic’ and ‘precise’ movement, the game is too far towards ‘cinematic’. They try to correct this during a gunfight by using the world’s most aggressive auto-aim adjustment, meaning you only have to aim within ten or fifteen degrees of a target and your cursor will snap right on him. This makes the game a smidge too easy when you’re winning, and frustrating when you’re losing. The most common reason I died was because I was mashing R1 trying to get behind something as cover and instead of doing that, my character was gracefully and cinematically adjusting his weight, a movement that lasts the length of a solar body’s rotation around the center of the universe.
    —The characters chatting as they rode their horses to the next objective. Look, this is just a personal preference, but I listen to sermons as I play games, and having the characters constantly chat at me meant I couldn’t focus on the sermons. I would have preferred it if they had cut out making me ride my horse to the objective entirely, and instead had made all the dialogue part of a single cutscene and showed a scene of us riding to the location.
    —As you’re following your party to the next quest, even if you cut to Cinematic View to engage the auto-drive (which is not explained well in the game btw), you have to hold X so your horse will keep going. My thumb is stronger, and for that I owe you one, Rockstar. Now, if only I needed a strong thumb ever.

    So, it was a 7, but then Epilogue Part 2 happened, and now it’s an 8. Play the whole game just to play that epilogue. You won’t regret it.    … Expand

    It's a beautiful game. Rockstar have made a great job in RDR2. The caracters is incredible and the gameplay is fantastic. The only criticism about this game is the story is linear. I cannot make important decisions in the game.

The story is slowly paced in the beginning but it needed it to build the characters that are in there and I didn't think that it was a bad choice, it's intriguing and phenomenal. the characters are absolutely amazing and act in a realistic manner (especially in that setting). The only problem is that Ch.5 felt like it was out of place. the gameplay structure are repetitive and boring sometimes and it goes like this: Riding for minutes--settle in and sneak around--someone miss up the plan-- shooting starts-- Riding for minutes again to escape. This game execution is best I've played in terms of open world aspect.… Expand

    Great story that made me feel sad with its ending.
    Great immersive soundtracks.
    On the contrary, missions felt dull and repetitive in nature at times, but story kept me going.
    Also, the random missions across the world were not interesting enough for me to stay invested.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gorgeous game! The horse design and mechanics are incredible as is the level of detail.

    I was loving the game up until I did a quest and got TB (nothing I could do to avoid it as its scripted into the game - even if you avoid the guy and don't beat him up - you still get it) -- this level of not being in control of my character and unable to save him from dying, kind of upset me initially and caused me to take a break.

    I'll probably get around to playing it again, but I like RPGs that I can determine what happens to my character, at least for the most part, and not being able to do so here, especially when it has such a drastic impact on the feel of playing as Arthur, kind of turned me off.

    Still a really good game, and I'm sure this won't be a negative for a lot of players.

Even though I do have some problems with the game that I will address in this review, I still think it's a great game and everyone should try it out.

    To start off, the game is absolutely beautiful, for the entirety of the time I played it which is about 50 hours of main missions plus the open world experience, I never got tired of the visuals. Sunsets and mountains in the distance have never looked so fantastic. The soundtrack is also amazing and very immersive, making all those long distance rides on your horse very enjoyable.

    Of course since it's a game by Rockstar Games and the sequel to RDR it has an open world. Because of better graphics I consider this to be their best open world yet. Which is an achievement considering how good GTA V's open world was. But even though the world is very beautiful and detailed RDR2 finds it self with the same problems as some of Rockstar's recent games which is they can't decide weather they want a complete open world experience or a cinematic experience. RDR2 feels stuck between a Bethesda game like Skyrim and Fallout, and a Naughty Dog like Uncharted and The Last of Us. In the open world you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want, however once you enter a story mission you have to go to a specific location doing a specific thing. There is no room for creativity from the player, he's just following orders. I feel like if they would dedicate fully to the open world it would be much better. But looking at the critic reviews of the game I'm in the vast minority there. Don't get me wrong the gameplay can be very fun at points, but I feel like it would be even better if I could control my character more and make my own decisions on how to approach a mission.

    The story is arguably the best part about RDR2, and I think it has a very good story. Just to get started this story is really long, it's about 50 hours, but for most people like myself it took much longer than that because of side missions. Because of the length though I do think that the story can be pretty long drawn, some missions are really boring and tedious but it is really saved by incredibly fun and epic missions. The story is separated into 6 chapters and then 2 epilogues afterwards. Each chapter spanning about 7-8 hours with chapter 5 being the shortest of the 6. The 2 part epilogue is roughly about 1 chapter in length. The length of the story has positives and negatives, with the positives being more character development and more immersion, but the negatives being that the pacing is pretty bad. But the story itself is very well told and Arthur Morgan has turned to one of my favorite video game protagonists of all time.

    To sum up this is a must play for any owner of a good PC, PS4 or Xbox One, and even though it's got its problems we have to appreciate that we don't often get this immersive and beautiful open world in a video game, and accompanied by a well told story. I think everyone should at least try Red Dead Redemption 2

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Note: I'm writing this review several years after its release, but I have recently replayed it.

    RDR2 is one of the few games I have ever been so excited about releasing that I made sure I had it on release day. I spent the next few weeks in my college apartment playing the game - fully immersed in the story and world it created. It helped spark my passion for visiting the western parts of the United States - and took me into a world I could only dream of.

    Gameplay (7/10): Sometimes was a little clumsy, sometimes got stuck in places, sometimes experienced some glitches and bugs. Can't tell you how many times I accidentally shot someone while trying to tuck a gun away or just pull it out to be prepared. Could use some updates and user-friendliness, but nothing I can complain about here. I for one enjoyed the realism - side activities were plentiful (as is standard with Rockstar) - and having to cut hair or eat to survive was understandable. I personally dislike games where health automatically replenishes over time. Also didn't mind riding horses and trains around - for goodness sake its the 1800s - fast travel can wait. As always - Rockstar is king of the hill when it comes to open-worlds - and this one was epic.

    Graphics (10/10): One of my favorite things to do in the game is look up at the night sky on a clear night with no moon and be amazed by the stars and Milky Way. The world was beautiful, filled with lots of different areas to explore and see. Realism abounds, and I still enjoy looking at screenshots from this one.

    Story (9.5/10): A long story, but that was fine with me. As usual Rockstar has many, many, many side missions you can complete, some with a few funny moments and cool experiences. I enjoyed playing these the most on my second play through, as they allowed me to experience the game differently. Like RDR - characters die midway through the game. I loved Arthur Morgan's character (more than John Marsten) and was sad when he left - the storytelling helped show the struggles he faced, and his personal conflicts that made him into a character I loved.

    Some of the missions did seem repetitive in nature, and as the gang was dissolving I wished it could have dissolved quicker - Lord knows I had had enough of Dutch's "one more job" and "have some faith" - but that shows the story was working.    … Expand

    This story is unfortunately hampered and sometimes undermined by mechanics    An ambitious game in terms of narrative and story which unfortunately is held back by its willful adherence to outdated gameplay mechanics and structure. Overall this game is a wonderfully done narrative experience which respects its characters, both new and returning, and tells a story with depth and character.

    This story is unfortunately hampered and sometimes undermined by mechanics and gameplay that are sometimes at odds with the story itself. The illusion of choice is given to the player on whether to be an "honest" or ruthless outlaw, but often many objectives and goals presented to the player will be in direct opposition to their preferred persona. Those who wish to play an "honest" or high honor character will still have to rob coaches, hurt and murder random strangers minding their own business and do other nefarious deeds if they wish to obtain every collectible, trophy, and ultimately obtain a "100% clear" status. Likewise, players wishing to play selfish personas may still have to occasionally do fetch quests and acts of charity if they wish to see everything in the game.
    Additionally, although the game encourages you to use a cinematic camera view which minimizes HUD information, often many missions will require you to go to a specific location such as "a field" or "outside this building". However, the player will often be required to stand in a VERY specific location in that particular field or outside that building, which can only be known by having the HUD active with the corresponding yellow area highlighted illustrating the mission objective.

    Though the game may seem like a long haul, those who stick with it will be rewarded by an ambitious story which takes the time to make every character, even minor ones, feel like real people with their own personal pasts, motivations and personalities. The development of Dutch's gang and each of its members relationships with each other is drawn out enough to make it believable how they change over time. Characters which are friendly to each other may eventually grow tense and cautious, while other characters without much in common develop deep connections through shared hardships.

    The main issue with Red Dead Redemption 2 is having too much "stuff" for the sake of having it, whether it's specific gameplay mechanics and controls that have been in virtually every Rockstar game in the past 15 years, collectibles just to keep the player occupied, or even extra missions which the game really doesn't need(some of the missions in the games epilogue are especially guilty of this). The game tries to please those interested in mostly action gameplay, those interested in storytelling, and those interested in accomplishing goals and collectibles all at the same time. Luckily Rockstar did a great enough job with all of these that this game should please anyone looking for one or all of these things.

    Despite these criticisms, there is a lot the game does right to create a living, breathing world that feels alive and both interactive and reactive to the player. Overall this is certainly not a perfect title as some would suggest, but it is definitely worth your time and money. Would highly recommend to anyone who is a fan of Rockstar titles or open world games in general.    … Expand

RDR2 delivers one of the greatest video game stories I ever witnessed. It does take a while before it gets going, however. The beginning is extremely slow and can test your patience, but thankfully its filled with beautiful vistas to explore and a wide array of activities from hunting and fishing to gambling, shooting and all other stuff that people living in the wild west used to do. Once it gets going story is full of well written characters and exciting scenarios. Gameplay itself, however, feels slow, stale and zero improved from RDR1 that came out 8 years prior. Aiming and shooting your gun simply feels dated. There are also various stats you need to keep an eye on, like how weather takes effect on your character, that although realistic and interesting at first quickly becomes annoying and tiresome. Game world is enormous and ranges from snowy mountain peaks across forests and plains to bayou country. It is filled with hidden secrets and side quests and is a joy to explore. At first. Due to the poor implementation of fast travel in later stages of the game riding across this vast wilderness becomes tedious. RDR2 is far from perfect, but its such a huge game in scope and ambition you cant help but feel impressed. Rockstar pulled this off wonderfully, but they also overreached only to miss mark completely in some aspects. Still, RDR2 is an experience more than worth playing through.… Expand

    Biggest disappointment on the PS4. I've completed the original RDR on 100%, and I was really hyped for the prequel. But rockstar gave us a silly story (we need time), and too much addition to small irrelevant details (why bother to buy things for the camp, when it does not affect anything). Good game, nothing more.

And DON'T SEE ANY SPOILERS it will ruin your experience just like me. Other than that this game is good and it's comparable to The Witcher 3.    … Expand

    TLDR; The most detailed, immersive game world out there.. but nowhere near the most fun. Let down by dated, poorly designed combat and missions but overall an incredible experience worth having.

    Most of your time in RD2 will be spent by riding your horse and listening to people's stories and that's not a bad thing. The world you're placed in is beyond anything anyone has made before.

    Most of your time in RD2 will be spent by riding your horse and listening to people's stories and that's not a bad thing. The world you're placed in is beyond anything anyone has made before. It's jaw droppingly beautiful.. Even after 60 hours in this game, you will still be stunned by its visuals. It's made all the more satisying by having a horse that needs care and attention which makes you form a strong bond over the course of the game. The detail in the environment, both wilderness and the towns are incredible. The immersion is helped by an interact button that lets Arthur (your character) either interact with someone positively or negatively.. its a small thing but helps make you feel like you're a living breathing person that can and does make an impact on the world around you. The actvities you can partake in , like poker and blackjack in the local saloons are great, especially when you enter firstperson mode. You can really take in the detail and more open world games need activities like this so you can interact with the world and people around you. As you progress through the game, details will change also. Shops will get built , some abbandoned and this happens in so many locations it's easy to miss as you play.

    The story is one of the best in recent gaming history. Arthur is a troubled man, haunted by his past actions and slowly realising the selfish outlaw life he led has left him with nothing but blood on his hands. It's made all the more depressing by the fact you watch Arthur watch his friend and mentor Dutch , slowly turn to madness, becoming more reckless, more violent and abbandon all previous morales (there wasn't many to begin with)

    Gameplay is RD2 biggest issue and one which divides it's playerbase, you can either see past the outdated, poorly designed shooting and mission design or you find it so irriating it ruins the experience for you. For me, I was able to put it to the side for the previously mentioned positives. However, it no less annoyed me and spoiled the experience. When you're in a mission, if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you fail.. you fall too far behind your npc buddy.. you failed. You don't walk to the exact spot it marks on your mini map.. you can't progress. Rockstar games are no stranger to these issues and RD2 isn't the saviour to these glaringly outdated and poorly designed missions. It's a shame when the visuals and story telling around it are some of the best in the business. Next, the shooting.. it's bad. It's a Rockstar game, it's always bad.. it's bland, easy and unimaginitive. Hold left trigger, lock onto target, pull right trigger.. I turned auto lock off and found the shooting to be a little more interesting but there's still a decent amount of auto locking on, it's just not as strong.    … Expand

The game is good, very good, but I missed some novelties within the narrative, at some point everything gets very repetitive, I didn't like the end of the main character's arc (Arthur Morgan) either. I expected more and the way the game went, I thought it could have been better approached. SomethingI wanted to give it a 7, but a 7 fits into the medium category and for me it's not fair.

Something that bothers me about the narrative is that a lot of things just don't have what you do, it happens the way the game wants it to happen, and I don't like that very much. I like to play the game, do things. But, they are small caveats next to the game's great successes. Simply the largest and most immersing open world experience in the gaming world, all the exploration and side quest capabilities bring the game to life in a way never seen before. I think that all justifies the rating.… Expand

    I was absolutely floored when I first got the game that I played 70 hours in one week, but I got bored and stopped playing it until a month ago because the second half feels like such a chore instead of an immersive experience of a game.

The level of detail and immersion is insane, there is a lot to do and keep you busy. The fantastic hunting, many side quests, minigames and secret locations make you fall in love with this stunningly varied world. I spent many hours just riding around the wild areas in the westerly portion of the map, fishing, hunting and hiking around the beautiful landscapes.

    Despite this, it is surprising how limited you are in terms of options sometimes. There aren't really a lot of different ways to tackle situations. Stealth barely works outside of scripted moments, the environments don't really help you kill enemies, so your only option really is to go in guns blazing. You won't die and you never run out of ammo, or money for that matter. There are other issues as well, for example: it would be so immersive to be able to smoke a cigarette for longer, like in the online portion. While what there is is incredible, it's very linear at times for what is supposed to be an open world game.

    Now, the story. The characters are amazing. So unique, funny, interesting and dynamic. Walking around the gang's camp and just interacting with this amazing cast is fantastic fun, and always brings interesting moments to the table. It feels very authentic. The story, however, is where the game can fail sometimes. I was enthralled in the first half, but after chapter five I just became disillusioned with the story points of the game. You have all these pots of the boil, all these fragile characters and plot points ready to burst in an incredible flame of pure art, but instead they just put on more pots, and pour in more water, until there's just too much stuff left untied that it feels worthless.

    However, those first 4 chapters are so amazing, and in honesty, chapter six has some highlights as well. I think the ending was well done, but there is such a clear path to everything that the moral ambiguity of it all becomes so plain and simple.

    The gameplay itself is well done in most areas. The controls are pretty all over the place at times, but overall feel fluent. Animations are very slow, but I didn't really mind this. The crafting and such is very simple, it's much more about going after the ingredients than anything else. The shooting is also fantastic, very fluent and easy to pick up. But the main component of this game, the glue that holds it all in place; is your horse. You ride your horse a lot in this game. A LOT. I'd say about 80% of this game is spent on a horse. I'm not joking. You go from wherever you are, to your mission marker, and then spend most of the mission; on your horse. If that sounds totally dreadful, maybe don't pick up this game. I didn't mind, to be honest. The world is so stunning and the little things that happen along the way (as well as the dialogue in missions) kept me entertained as I steered my horse along the little dirt paths of 1899 America.

    The visual style and atmosphere are unparalleled. The graphics are stunning, with crisp sunlight pouring in over the snowy mountains, stagnant water coating the swamp, and rolling hills in the great plains. The attention to detail in every texture is jaw dropping, and I spent lots of time just taking it in. The music is also amazing, with toned-down atmospheric pieces playing wherever I went.

    Overall, this is one of my favourite games ever made. Despite it's many shortcomings, this is overall a deep, interesting and immersive experience that the average gamer will absolutely enjoy.    … Expand

    I am still giving it 7 rather than 1 simply because the rest of the game is built on such obvious hard work, which can be contemplated in the astonishing graphics, the beauty and realism of the world portrayed and the extent of depth with which a well studied gameplay can make you feel like you are really living in that virtual world.    … Expand

A game rated at 97 should be so groundbreaking and awesome - so flawless and polished - whoever made it deserves to be deified. At that rating we're talking wonders of the world - something only the gods could do better - an event of historical proportions.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Big up to Rockstar Games for giving it their all. I enjoyed playing it, but for me it has no replay value. Thinking of how tedious doing chores or looting it, kinda puts me off. I can’t say I care more for the dialogue it’s not as ground breaking at the trailers led me to believe. My biggest gripe was that player choice wasn’t the driving force at the centre of the game. Like that one mission where Arthur catches TB, was that the only way for events to unfold? I think not. Instead we were forced to play through a linear story in an open word game. Games like The Witcher 3 really lean into player choices and ultimately the game concludes how to choose depending on my interactions. MSG 5 also gave players the freedom to choose how go about handling missions, RDR2 on the other, you can’t stealth the entire game which is a letdown. Much respect for what they were going for, it’s lacking but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad 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]
