    First off let me start by stating this game is a masterpiece.
    In short the game is gorgeous! The story is amazingly well written, and it's still repayable after you complete it.
    The only downside that I have seen so far is the controls and aiming, which can be adjusted to your liking but not as much as you would like, as you cannot disable acceleration completely. I hope that when (or    First off let me start by stating this game is a masterpiece.

I hope that when (or if) this game comes out on PC that I can experience this game again without missing all my shots due to input lag on a joystick controller.

    Overall, great game but poor controls on console.    … Expand

    Very detailed, and really fun to explore the game world. quests are good overall and there are a lot of different activities to keep you entertained....honestly it's real easy to lose yourself for several hours just exploring....my only disappointment with the game is the terrible control scheme...R* really needs to consider updating this because it just feels clunky.

    Como juego es una pasada, de lo mejor en la historia de los video juegos. Pero el mayor problema que tiene es su historia. No por lo lenta, si no por sus argumentos.
    El juego deja mucho que desear en ese sentido, pero lo demás es espectacular.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The detail in the game is superb. Rockstar has really done a extremely nice job developing every little detail in the game. I played the story quite fast trough and I was left this empty feeling "was this it?". But after you have played the story trough you really start to miss all the characters left behind and you realize that Arthur after all the time deep inside is a unfortunate man trying to do the best after all the bad things he has done. I actually after the main story really started to miss Arthur and the characters that died so much that I ended up starting a new game and playing it trough with more focus on other thing than the main story, This game really made me appreciate the ups and downs during the story.… Expand

Rockstar Games open world konusunda çığır açmış bir firma ve umarim diğer firmalar da bu oyuna verilen emeklerden bir ders çıkartır.

    Oyunda belli bir süre sonra fast travel'ı açmış olmama rağmen kullanma gereği duymadım hiç. Çünkü oyunu oynarken karşınıza türlü türlü etkinlikler ve yan questler çıkıyor. Gerçekçi dinamikleri , tüyleri diken diken eden müzikleri , atmosferi ile yılın oyunu olmayı hak eden oyunlardan birisi olmuş.
    Oyunun fizik motoru Gta 5'e kıyasla daha gerçekçi olmuş. Oyunu Playstation 4 Pro'da deneyimledim. Çözünürlük ve renk konusunda beni fazlasıyla tatmin etti. ( Samsung 49KS8500 ) Oyunun tek sıkıntısı HDR 'ın fake HDR olması. Bu konu ile ilgili bir yama bekledim fakat oyun genel olarak hatasız olduğu için gerek duyulmadı sanırım ama Rockstar Games bu konu üzerinde hızla çalışıyormuş. Oyun ile ilgili verebileceğim tavsiye tadını çıkara çıkara oynayın. Bol bol yan questleri karşınıza çıktıkça yapın. Bu oyun bittiğinde, open world oyunlarına bakış açınız , diğer oyunları değerlendirme kriteriniz fazlasıyla yükseltecek.

    Oyunun Multiplayer versiyonu için henüz bir video gelmedi fakat merakla beklemekteyiz. Single playerda deneyimlediğim şu tecrübeler ile multiplayer hakkında heyecanlanmamak özellikle GTA V Online başarısından sonra elde değil. God of war ve Red Dead Redemption 2 yılın oyunu adayı. Bu iki oyun içinde hangisi kazanırsa kazansın hak etmiş olacak çünkü.

    Fake HDR and annoying blurriness all the time with PS4 PRO. Game is okay but not as good as game sites rated it.

    Rockstar cheated us customers with fake hdr which is unacceptable nowadays.

Only you are so used to running around like Superman in video games that you forgot actual people don't move that way.
    The story is amazing, the gameplay is so much fun, the AI is very, very well done and very smart, the open world is so organic and reacts to the player like I have never seen, the graphics are amazing. Side activities are fun and you really want to do them. The games has a slow pace at times, but it makes sense for the world you are in, and the year you are in. I cannot believe this is an issue with some people. The games has the pace that it needs to have. It's just perfect. But again the world keeps moving so fast people forgot how to sit down, enjoy a story and a great game. Congrats Rockstar. You nailed it. Don't listen to the negative comments, because they have no clue about what they are talking about. A score of 97, and the majority of people have seen what you have achieved. And that's all that matters. There will always be mindless zombies who enjoy mindless games, and don't appreciated real quality. That's the sad truth.    … Expand

This game is overrated, the score should be around 7-8. However, I give a 8 because I respect the sheer amazing detail Rockstar has put in this game. I will keep short here since many most helpful reviews did a great job of criticizing the bad things. Besides, I might revise my review later once I am done with the game.

    Major Pros
    - Amazing Detailed World
    - NPCs feel like real persons. Many different dialogues.
    - Hunting feels fantastic
    - Side activities are good, I love hunting down wanted criminals.
    - Various mini games. (I like poker game)

    Major Cons
    - Control is weird and need a lot of memorizing (But become less problem once you get used to it). You may need to check online for clearer explanation of control since ingame does not give you a controller mapping. (why ?)
    - No Fast travel in early game ( You need to upgrade camp to get fast travel ability but it costs a lot)
    - Law is too restrict. Bumping someone can easily lead to gunfight and you get a fine for murderer. This is not right. In real life situation, you should be able to apologize
    - Chores - can't skip taking a bath.
    - Lack of freedom in term of choices. Most of the times, you will have only 2 choices, good or bad, nothing in between. For example, there was a main mission that I had to talk with the priests, I could only talked politely with them, like I was interested in their religion, or choked their leader to dead. This felt wrong to me. I should have been able to aim my gun and threaten them to go away.
    - No quick save
    - Main character attitude is unlikable for me. I personally don't like his voice as well.

    In Sum, RDR2 is great in detailed world but not as great in gameplay. It is still a good fun game if you have patience but the realistic should be optional. For people who want fast paced game, devs should give a choice to skip chore scenes and allow fast travel at the beginning of the game.. For those who hasn't played the game yet, I would advise to wait and see if Rockstar will have a patch to tone down the wanted system or not. I love its realistic though but as it stands now my Witcher 3 is much better game in comparison.    … Expand

    "When you realise the sad truth....
    ....That you''l never see red dead redemption 2 for the first time again"

    One of the most impressive games I've ever played. Slow gameplay allows you to feel the atmosphere, gives time to pay attention to small details. This is not even a game, but an interactive series that captures and immerses in itself.
    I also started to love horses.

    still i'll try to give my take on this,
    so top marks of looks as everyone has said
    as for the controls , they seem to be about the same as gta , i'd like a 3rd speed in between walking & running tho, combat controls are ok & pretty much as the same as rdr & gta ,the weapon wheel has got me afew things only due to r1 release to select get muddled up with holding the stick in the direction i want to select & i release all buttons at once, but most gunfights are pretty easy with deadeye slow mo anyway ,quick combat mite be a bit harder but a fire arrow or explosive shot takes out most things as the target lock snaps on the same as most rockstar games.
    hunting is great & a good upgrade from rdr so mostly just more from the 1st rdr game.
    As for the story i kinda liked it ,by the end i like how arthur played out as i chose the good path. so by the time the last ride came up i had loads of side stuff done so was nice to hear the voices of the people i had met & helped along the way,of course there are afew slow & down moments but since i had played the 1st rdr game i knew how to keep the side content checked off during the main missions, iv still got afew things to do but only the exotics & cig cards really,but all of the side stuff works into the main game as if u want to boost ur stats or get better weapons its in the side missions & extras ie legendary animals leads to charms which give boosts & pelts for better equipment , the dreamcatchers lead to better bow skills ect ect ,its all linked together
    now for the bad points ,none of which will take the game into red like so many of the liars who scored 0 on here who seem to be unaware of what a bad game really looks like, ,., anyway
    yeah the slow camp walking is abit of a pain but as i said as 3rd walking speed would be nice,
    enemies seems to just spawn in during mission fights so u will get 3 guys on the left bang bang bang ,them 4 more will spawn in on the right bang bang bang bang , then 3more spawn in at the back ect ect if u run up to the spawn point u can get them appearing right next to u so bit too scripted there,
    the hunting legendary animals seems to always have the same 3 steps to it
    the games checkpoints & dead eye made everything a little too easy,iv still to go back & replay alot of missions so i can get the 70 gold but i rarely died in game & if i did i wouldnt be too far back during any mission , tho gta5 had this same thing as well & it made that game too easy as well.
    things in the middle ,ie parts of the game i want fussed about ,not good or bad
    the camp idea was good enough tho id go off for days & as long as u dropped of 1 or 2 hunts everyone was happy & i always was overstocked with goods & money (by the end of the game i had $20k) so i go tall the upgrades & kept the camp happy with little effort
    the horse bond in was ok but at times it freaks out & slows down or just heads for a tree, but as long as u get the hang of things u find out how far u can push it before starts shaking & bucking around,
    & thats about all in all, a pretty good game with afew issues but not many at all,    … Expand

Lastly, I just have a small issue with let's say helping a stranger and for some reason, your horse falls and hits them or something like that, and they get angry and don't give you a reward or acknowledge that you still helped them.

While the Red Dead Redemption was ambitious due to the Red Dead Revolver not showing much promise as other rockstar IP. But this sequel of the original Red Dead Redemption is far more ambitious than GTA 5. I liked this game because this game shows how the world evolves and how Civilization changes.

    Overall the game is good and the story for the most part is interesting, but suffers from a number of open-world syndrome with repetitiveness.
    Some of the mechanics seems either bugged or broken by design - such as Crime and Bounties and the gun play is iffy at best as well and while you can skip the parts mostly or live with it - it's the sign that again "close, but yet so far".
    It takes quite some time to get through the character "learning" the game so a lot of mechanics are locked far into the game without any explanation between that and the help section of the game (which suffers as well) plus the challenges. You have to google a lot.
    Also I think the NPC / Companions could be more fleshed out as a lot of the content and fetch missions seems shallow at best and random at worst.
    The whole 'gray zone' between Good and Evil is far too downplayed and a little too cliche for the genre, but I can appreciate the ideas.

    So a good game, but not the hyped up game or the review-scored game.    … Expand

I finished the game without using it because always that I needed it wasn't available. Great! About the language for non native, I had the same problem than in GTA V, they talk to much when you are riding and normally characters have a lot of accent so you can barely undestand what they say and you cannot read while you are riding. Because all of this, in my opinion this game doesn't deserve more than an 8. And yes, this is a good game and it's about at least 40 hours of gaming (which is the double than the previous game) and that's ok. The main problem here is riding thing which I can't understand when it was already solved in the first Red Dead Redemption.… Expand

    This game is a work of art. The story, characters and open world are just so well done. It's very easy to get lost in because there is just so much to do and see. You will never run out of things to do. I've played a lot of Rockstar's games and I think that this is their best one to date.

The world of RDR2 is so big it encompasses the original games map and another map double the size of the original. With a map this big there's no shortage of things to do. But more on the story, without spoiling it too much the plot is expertly assembled to allow players who never played the original Red Dead to understand whats going on but also made in a way so that veterans of RDR can get some unanswered questions revealed. In addition the missions can sort of get repetitive, in the way that most of them end in a shootout that just feels like a shooter on rails in some instances, i’m not saying the missions are bad in anyway but for a good 75-80% of them end in a shootout that feels like the same one you just did. Overall the game blew me out of the water and the pure scale of the game is just unfathomable, all that bundled together in a 65 hour story mission package is unbelievable and definitely puts RDR2 at the top of best video games ever made.… Expand

No the story does not get lost in the open world, if anything it's the opposite. The open world is flat and boring that the only interesting thing to do in it is the main story.

    The graphics are 10/10 no doubt, as is the music, voice acting and overall sound design, the story and writing are also 10/10 no complaints here at all. But that is where the positives end.

    On to the gameplay and this were the game stumbles big time IMO, where do i even start.
    The controls, my god this game has what might be the worst control scheme I think i have ever played in a game period. It is the most convoluted, self contradicting button mashing s%@t fest that has ever graced a gamepad. This also extends to the in game menus which are a chore to sort through. The controls and context sensitive menus has caused me no end of frustration, things like pulling out my weapon to aim or shoot is the same buttons for talking to people, who thought this was a good idea now I have a bounty on me and i am running from the law, wait let me just get out my shotgun I selected 2 minutes ago, oh wait Arthur has my bolt action equipped for some random reason instead which leads to a death. And this kind of crap is just a tip of the Ice berg, the controls are simply counter intuitive to game raging degree. Melee fighting is garbage, it is just rock paper scissors with no depth to it at all, one or two button mashing until you win the fight or loose the fight.
    Some please tell the game to stop taking control away from me at every turn, get to camp, walk at a snails pace, go inside a house walk at a snails pace etc i want to run dam it. getting chased by wolves and the camera gets taken over by the game to focus on the wolves behind me even though i am well ahead of the situation and i want shoot them but i cant, i am just doing donuts on my horse instead because the game wont let me take control of the frigging camera.

    The game tries to pass itself off as a super realistic almost cowboy simulator where you have to eat drink, and sleep etc, but at every turn it contradicts itself with super unrealistic scenarios. on multiple occasions I have shootout in area only to get chased out for whatever reason so i mark the spot to come back so that i can loot the bodies i left, it's only been a couple of minutes and i have not ridden very far and when i get back the bodies have mysteriously vanished in to thin air. Spawning lawmen, this makes sense in a modern setting with cars, radios and helicopters but not in the wild west, when getting chased by the police handfuls will randomly spawn in front of you even though the nearest county is 3 hours ride away via horseback. I can only carry 4 weapons on me yet I can have a library full of books and a shop full of alcohol, tonics and herbs in my tiny little satchel, yeah ok then.

    On to the witness system, Jesus this one of the most irritating systems In the game for me along with the controls. So I get ambushed and have to defend myself, yet there is a witness nearby that sees the shootout yet i am the one that gets into trouble for it even though i did not start the fight. WANTED! $10 bounty. I accidentally bump into someone they punch my lights out so i punch them back, witness sees it, WANTED! $20 bounty. I accidentally run some one over on my horse because they walked right out in front of me, WANTED again $50 bounty and it just keeps going. Not to mention you spend 5 minutes hunting down a witness to stop him, another witness is near by sees you threaten him or whatever then you chase him down and so on it goes WANTED! do you see a pattern emerging here it's unrealistic and not fun in the least.

    And this my main issue with this game, the story missions are great, they suck you in to this grand sweeping story that is written like poetry, but the fact is outside of that, it just isn't fun, and at the end of the day, this why I want to play a video game, to have fun which this game is not. Don,t get me wrong I have had some enjoyable moments actually playing the game they are just so few and far between and my experience has been more frustrating than enjoyable. And to be perfectly honest the open world just feels shallow with nothing meaty or substantial to do in it which is a shame considering how pretty it is.    … Expand

    Only bit of complaint I have are the controls, which I did get used to. Turning on "Toggle to Run" instead of "Tap to Run" helped a lot.

    I'll start off by saying it's impossible to take game reviewers serious these days. Who are these people? 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.

    And let's face it - Red    I'll start off by saying it's impossible to take game reviewers serious these days. Who are these people? 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.

    And let's face it - Red Dead Redemption 2 does not deliver that quality. It's neither groundbraking, flawless or polished - and even though certain aspects of it does cross the border to what should be considered awesome others again falls miserably short of even seeing that border.

    Graphics are stunning, world is rich on content and the general atmosphere really sucked me in. Attention to details is almost unparalleled. The story is predictable and feels a bit forced - some turn of events simply doesn't make sense and the characters turn either dumb or genius according to what's convenient in furthering the storyline - and it's also quite quite static.

    All in all it's not very "organic" nor does it allow for the player to interact with it in any profound ways.

    But despite not being the pinnacle of penmanship nor deeply influenced by the player's decisions - it did entertain me and in addition to falling in love with the world itself I also ended up becoming invested in the characters and even sad to see some of them go.

    Rockstar is - as always - brilliant in creating the framework of a truly inspired game. Rockstar is also however - as always and unfortunately - mediocre at best when it comes to everything else.

    Gameplay suffers profoundly in this game. The controls are clumsy and bad - needlessly hard to navigate, often unresponsive - and both movement as well as combat are clunky to say the least and altso unimaginative. Something youd expect from a game made ten years ago - not a more recent AAA-Production.

    It lacks anything even resembling flow and also falls short in terms of user friendliness. Gunplay is pretty much autoaim and instant headshot - melee is simply mashing two buttons in accordance to animation and the mechanics for fishing actually made my hands go numb.

    And even though the story is good enough (though not as brilliant as many would argue) - the missions are unrewarding tours. In fact - the way they're played out - you hardly get to influence them at all as the game itself pushes you down certain paths and makes most decisions for you.

    They're so overly-scripted your actions and options constantly gets limited to a point where you might as well put the controller on the table and simply watch a movie. Most of the time you just follow character X through points A-Z then either click the objects he tells you to click or kill whomever he needs you to kill before being rewarded with a cutscene. It feels more like a tutorial that never ends than an actual game - and often it even dictates where you're allowed to move and at which pace or whether or not you're allowed to have your guns ready.

    Even your weapon setup is affected. Went through a lot of trouble choosing and prepping the desired weapons pre-mission? Tough luck as this game will revert your choices to what it wants you to use during the first cutscene (even though the weapons it forces upon you are of the same type as the ones you'd prefer).

    This to me was maybe my biggest nuisance - as I felt this game was treating me like an idiot. Some unwanted parasite in need of restraints. "Shut up and let me get on with my awesome story won't you? No ofc I won't let you influence it - I tell it best as it is - I am in charge this experience not you!!"

    As for fishing and hunting and doing bounties plus experiencing random world events - as well as crafting - they've actually done a good job. But like it always is with these things they do get repetitive after a while and starts to feel grindy. It doesn't help either that the world is so littered with animals you can almost aim the rifle randomly and still hit something nor that you'll catch a fish pretty much every time you throw your line in. It would have been better if wilderness encounters reaped higher rewards but were less frequent I feel - but it's nothing gamebreaking.

    All in all Red Dead Redemption 2 has all the ingredients to be the epic experience most reviewers make it out to be - but doesn't really come close in terms of execution. Gameplay is outdated and user-unfriendly - it lacks both polish and innovation - balance is a bit off here and there and the game fails miserably all across the line in terms of player interaction. The story and the missions are pretty much set in stone - and it refuses you to equip the chisel.

    Most of the time you're not really playing a game - merely watching events unfold the way the developers intended them to - practically sidelined and incapable of influencing anything at all.

    This game doesn't really do that, most of the time it forces it's narrative upon you only allowing the bare minimum in terms of determining it's outcome. You're not forging your own unique story here the way you'd expect from a game like this, you're just being pushed down a preset path. You're not riding the horse you're just being dragged along behind it.

    And considering where that horse is headed and how obvious it is almost from the get-go, it feels even more frustrating not having at least one hand on the reins.

    Point is, if you can't make a story that truly interacts with me, one I feel invested in and one where I'm an active part of it's narrative, I'd rather just see a movie to be honest.

    All that being said I still consider this a decent enough game. While gameplay feels very dated and sub-par, severly lacking in both flow and innovation, and the prementioned narrative equally lacking when it comes to interactivity, the world and it's content is quite impressive. Graphics and details are stunning. Also, it is actually rich on content, much of it well-drafted, so there's always something to do.

    I already feel I've got my money's worth even though at the same time it's bittersweet thinking of how truly awe-inspiring this game *could* have been. Because it could so easilly have been one of the best games ever, but unfortunately due to poor gameplay decisions it falls way short of that mark. It's a fantastic world they've created, unfortunately it's a world of missed opportunities.    … Expand

So when, in the first hour of gameplay I felt as though something was missing, and that this game might actually be... not good, I pushed that feeling back because I knew it must get better. I played for another 6 hours or so, and it didn't. Don't get me wrong, the environment is absolutely beautiful, and the physics engine, and the cinematic camera are both terrific elements. Then there's the story, which is actually quite compelling even though I've never needed a good story to enjoy a game, but there's just one gigantic issue with this game...

    It's BORING. Sooooo boring. The gameplay really is complete **** by modern standards. Gunplay is terrible, controls are clunky as can be, nothing feels natural, you spend far too much time traveling and not enough playing. The 6 hours I've put in felt so forced. Part of me wants to see the rest of this beautiful world, and play out the story that will no doubt be excellent, but I just can't bring myself to play it. To me, it feels like a TV show, a passive sort of entertainment, and that is a problem. I find myself considering playing but instead turning on netflix because it doesn't require I hold a controller. And it honestly is heartbreaking because I really was itching for a big open world game like this to hop into, but this just doesn't do it for me.

    I suppose you could say it is highly realistic what with having to brush your horse, shave, eat, feed your horse, grab weapons from the saddle every damn time, ride long distances of mostly empty land. It's all very much like the Wild West we know from stories and shows and movies. The key difference though - movies don't follow every hour of every day of a cowboy. They highlight the exciting parts which are few and far between. They know the rest is just boring AF. This game seems to have forgotten that. I respect the realism while pointing out that it makes for garbage gameplay and enjoyment.

    I spent $100 for the Deluxe Edition, and I regret every dollar of it. Save your money and watch a stream, it's about as engaging as actually playing the game. What a sad state.    … Expand

    Sure you personally might not like time consuming mechanics that are build around immersion but we had so little of those games over the last 10-15 years that it was more than needed that a tripleA Studio rises to the challenge at least once.
    I don't get how you can hold that against the game when you yourself just made the error of assuming it was something that you would like not actually looking deeper at it.
    If you watched LotR expecting an action packed "Die Hard" in medieval times it wouldn't be the movies fault for you having the wrong expectation.

    This game is an absolute masterpiece that shows how a decelerated approach can get you far greater and more emotional results than just another Assassins Creed or even Horizon Zero Dawn.

By then, I was still hot and cold on it - probably sitting around a 5/10. Then at some point I actually started to enjoy it, and I would have been 7.5-8/10. But then Chapter 5 happened - and from that moment forth, any enjoyment dwindled to the point of hatred by the time I'd finished it. At the end of Chapter 6 I was so pissed off, I really had to force myself to get through the excruciating Epilogue chapters (if I want RDR 1, I'd play it - I'm here to play number 2). I know it ties in, but I wanted to keep playing the "path" I was on.

    Pros:
    World - graphically amazing. Some parts (ironically Chapter 5) look jaw-dropping on a 4K set-up.
    Voice acting - absolutely top-notch.

    Cons:
    Everything else...
    Story - what story??? "Just one more job and we're going to leave." Job goes wrong... rinse and repeat for the entire game. I've never in my life heard the same lines repeated so many times, over and over again. Stupid writing, stupid unlikable (most of them, not all) characters.

    Mechanics - I got "used" to them, but never liked them.

    Gameplay - sorry, but the "realism" is BS, and ultimately boring. Feeding/maintaining yourself and the horse gets real thin by the half way point. And the "realism" card so many blind sheep seem to be pulling, is diminished by some really stupid writing (again, Chapter 5, particularly the very beginning).

    There is ZERO progression. The guns never get any better, the fights never get any harder, you don't learn or acquire anything new - there is absolutely no sense of achievement whatsoever. Again, rinse and repeat everything to the point of nausea.

    Side "incidents" started to repeat themselves by the end.

    You'd go into missions with your preferred guns, and the game would swap them out and force you to use what it wanted you to.

    Guns would disappear out of your inventory, and you'd have to buy them again.

    I could go on and on, but there's just too many issues to put down.

    The only mission I cared about was in Chapter 6 concerning the Native Americans, and they even managed to **** that up to with some really stupid story and gameplay-mechanic decisions.

    How this has been getting 10/10's from critics is totally beyond comprehension - unless Rockstar paid for them. Same with users, but some people can't see beyond their adoration for all things Rockstar.

    I expected so much more after GTA5 and RDR (1), so to say this was a disappointment would be a (sad) understatement.    … Expand

    Overall its what I expected. A huge cash cow of a world for there online services... with a medicore single player game thrown in it.

    Pros - great world, quirky characters.

    Cons - basic gameplay, sluggish movement, inventory system awful, rpg elements worthless, lack of weapons, ultimately I found it boring.

    The "Meh":
    • Immersion. It's a little too much. It's too slow. I like to get immersed in a story, not immersed in chores, you know?
    • The open world isn't all that different from other open worlds. On the surface level it appears great, but if you dig a little you find out how shallow and empty it is.
    • I've never particularly found that Rockstar games have great controls or engaging gameplay. That's still the case here IMO. The gameplay is passable, which is enough if the story is engaging (which it is). The controls are rough, as usual.

    I've enjoyed the 40 hours I've put into it. The first 20 hours were story heavy, and the other 20 hours were exploring. I'm going to go back now and finish the story now because I don't think the exploration is worth it.    … Expand

    Rockstar should stop pretending to be a game developer and just transfer themselves into the movie industry instead.

No acampamento ele tem que andar lento? pois tudo é muito lento nesse jogo devagar e demora, isso faz com que prolongue o jogo mas sem o dinamismo necessário e isso é muito chato. O jogo inicilamente é muito confuso com controles confusos e muita informação e dica, e o jogo tem meio que um "tutorial" de umas 6h de jogo (para que o jogador aprenda as coisas básicas do jogo).

    Em quase toda missão você precisa ver cutscene de 3 minutos para depois ir com alguem da gangue até um local que demora mais 2 minutos de "conversinha" pra matar alguem e ter mais uma cutscene e depois você volta para o acampamento para ver mais uma cutscene.

    O jogo é fudido em várias coisas mas é muito lento em si, na missão principal se tornando chato joga la e faz com que a a história do jogo se torne excessivamente longo, poderia cortar varias missões do jogo e tirar umas 20h de jogo para melhorar, o modo livre do jogo é incrivel por outro lado, se torna mais divertido jogar livre fazendo as missões secundarias do que as missões principais.

    É um otimo jogo com muito mais altos do que baixos, trilha sonora impecável em quase todo momento ela é colocada simplismente certissima, uma historia boa no jogo, tudo é dinheiro, dinheiro e mais dinheiro, o mundo é muito bonito com toda a sua imensidão mas as texturas dos rostos dos personagens secundarios é fraca, as vezes muito estranha, mas o sandbox é um dos maiores jogos ja feito e com a quantidade de detalhes, personagens, armas, animais, plantas, cavalos, arremessaveis, roupas, chapeus e animais lendários.    … Expand

It presents the player with a world that is more alive than anything before it. A world with it's own laws (both physics and social), which are so deeply integrated into the moment-to-moment game play, that you're eventually funneled into experiencing the game differently from how we have been playing these types of games for the past decade or so (with utter disregard for the game world, it's environments, and it's inhabitants). And some people are just not ready for such change.

    In RDR 2, not only must you be aware of behaving "realistically" according to the environment's variables (crowded town vs hunting grounds), you are also tasked with making sure Arthur's needs are met, which goes from shaving and brewing your own coffee in the morning, to eating enough throughout the day, and properly resting at night to recover some much needed stamina. Taking a bath after a hectic gunfight also goes a long way into being more socially liked in-game. And don't even get me started with the care-taking of your horse and the relationship you can develop with it if you become a proper master! Brushing, feeding, patting, and even removing the horses' seat wins you points with your steed. These are all drastic changes and a shift into the realms of simulation, a shift most of us were unprepared for, but one I now welcome with open arms.

    I must say though that at the very beginning I was kind of taken aback with this new direction. But as I stuck with it, I realized I had started to really enjoy all of these sim-like mechanics. They may sound boring on paper, but if you just go with the flow, without wishing for the game to be something different, you might just start to realize the game's true genius. RDR 2 allows you to live out your most detailed cowboy fantasies, while also being the closest thing to a fully realized world we've seen in a game, and it provides a spectacular experience.

    As a matter of fact, all of these sim-like mechanics serve one purpose alone; to immerse the player in it's world in a deliberate and gradual manner, and it does so at it's own pace until you eventually give in. After a few chapters, I realized all these little tasks , when combined with the amazing story, breathtaking visuals, superb soundscape, and truly amazing animation, fuse to create an experience that is not of this gaming generation, but a solid first step into the next one. If there is one gripe I have, is the actual gun combat. The cover-based peek and shoot style is in dire need of revision for future iterations. There is nothing wrong with the system as is, it simply needs to evolve. We've played this shooting in other games before. It feels kinda old.

    I couldn't be happier to see the days of Ubi-open-world icon hunting fests finally come to an end. The genre was in dire need of a new, refreshing take and as usual, it is Rockstar who has once again set the tone for the future of the genre, maybe even games as a whole. Get. This. Game.

    All the good things you've heard about this game are true. But here's the problem. Most reviews didn't even mention it's flaws.

    Why the press failed to inform buyers about these flaws is something we should all ask ourselves. But these flaws are there and RDR2 is not the ten out of ten they told you it is.    … Expand

Upon hearing that read dead redemption 2 was coming out over two years ago I had been hyping this game up ever since. So yes, my expectations for red dead redemption 2 were high.. after picking up my copy, that I had preordered almost a year earlier, I finally got to play the game. Guys just get it. By far the best and most detailed game I have ever played, hands down. Just an absolute masterpiece!… Expand

    For short, Red Dead Redemption 1 was the better Red Dead Redemption.

    For the long version, I liked this game quite a bit, but the gameplay is extremely sluggish and the controls are stiff, it's really what ruins the fun of the game as a whole. To be fair though, I liked most of the things in the game, but again you should look for something else if you like extremely vivid and fast gameplay.

    If these things change, this Game could be a masterpiece for me:
    - Yes an unrealistic, but defrustrating fast travell option like in Assassin‘s Creed. (I dont want spent hours on riding in the whole game)
    - Better controlls in movement and aiming/shooting (This is a Western Game by the way....shouldnt be shooting one of the most important things here??? And no, i dont want just switch to    If these things change, this Game could be a masterpiece for me:

    - A more fairly Bounty System which does not punish me for just jostle.
    - Option to adjust survival mechanics like eating, cleaning weapons, clothing, bath etc.
    (I want to escape my real live, not spend hours for living another live!!!)
    - Graphics fix for Ps4 Pro (Sharpness and Blurry Problem)

    I am hopefull for the next update and will wait to play until then.
    Without the Game mechanics fixes, i cant think about playing RDR2 online. Gameplay mechanincs are the core in online Play.    … Expand

    Great looking game with a very involved world with loads to do. Music is very 1950's-western-esque, which is great. Although the controls can be clunky in certain situations, I don't think that it takes away from the immense detail in the graphics and writing. Very immersive. It's also quite slow at first but does a great job of building tension as the story progresses. I'm not sure howGreat looking game with a very involved world with loads to do.

    The level of detail is amazing. The controls can become frustrating, I ended up pushing the wrong buttons and pulling a gun on people I didn’t want to.

If you just want to rush through this game to the end, I think you might miss the magic. The combat and controls in the game can be something you that annoys you. They can definitely get improved. I got used to it after awhile. It's not a game for everyone. I have played it in a laid-back manner and I'm enjoying the pace. During one session I did just focus on hunting and finding legendary animals and it was one of the best gaming experience I have had.
    I applaud Rockstar for making a game that is very different to all the fast-paced action which is usually what AAA games are these days. The game feels mature and interesting. It's a great ride.    … Expand

    Hello people, this is my first review on metacritic.
    This game deserves all the praise given by the critics. I've just finished it and it's one of the best story-telling I have even seen in a videogame.. check that, in everything I've seen, played or read. The music is absolutely wonderful, so are the graphics, animations. The RAGE Engine is truly powerful.

    Played it on a classic PS4 and encountered a little framerate drops in Saint Denis, but nothing too bad. The countless hours of work put in this game are worth it. After playing nearly all Rockstar's games, I can't believe how far they've come.
    Please, stop torturing yourselves by reading the negative user reviews, they're just a bunch of Fortnite playing "gamers" or "PC masterrace" wannabes... just play the game, the main story and side quests are SO GOOD! Also, don't write a review if you didn't finished it or don't even own it, that's kinda evil.    … Expand

    just the best open world ! great attention to detail ! GOTY !

    There are still a few developers out there who know what really matters when it comes to video games. Polish, immersion, and gameplay. This is Rockstar's finest work by far. It's the best game I've seen since playing through Witcher 3 GOTY Edition. Attention to detail is the key for me anyway. Is it perfect though? Nope, of    just the best open world ! great attention to detail ! GOTY !

Nope, of course not, but the flaws are so minuscule they simply don't matter. I don't understand the negative reviews here but seems like many PC gamers are hurt that they can't play this amazing game. My advice to them is forget about PC gaming, buy a PS4 (Pro has come down in price recently), and get RDR2.

    This game is simply mesmerizing. You can get lost for hours just wandering around on your horse. The NPCs feel more alive than any game I've played in the past. It's the next step in open world design and Rockstar deserves all the credit and cash they can get. This game deserves a 10 out of 10 but also just countering the pc nerds around here.    … Expand

    Pros: Very good visuals. You can sell the game if you have disk version.
    Cons: Extremely boring gameplay. Only reason I played through (yes I did) was the story which I wanted to know. After that there is no reason to replay. So in the end (after selling it) it cost me 10€ for the playthrough what is kinda ok.

    The game is good overall but the movement is a little weird sometimes. The game is slow at first but mid chapter 2 it gets entertaining.The graphics and faces are amazing, and the fist combat and gun combat are very good as well. If the online is as good as it sounds my review will most likely change to a 9/10.

    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]
