For an AAA game, it provides you with such a unique and niche experience that you just don't find in open world games these days and it is really saddening to see the gaming community so cynical about a product that tries to differentiate itself from the norm. The game might not be for everyone, but I personally think it's a must play and everyone should at least give it a shot. Absolute masterpiece Rockstar - well done.… Expand

    Rockstar took the customization of the character, weapons, horse even the camp you're at and lifted the bar so high i doubt any company will reach this level of details in a game.
    Each animals has it's own animations. The physics are the best. Better than any other game that has been released.

    Red dead redemption 2 is probably the best game i have played. It's story is fantastic and has a lot of things to do on the side when you arent doing the missions. You can hunt, fish or rob something. Its amazing. I am 16 hours in and it still blows me away at the detail and work that goes into this game. HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Take note: EA, Ubisoft and more, this is how you make a game.

From its main story/side missions, graphics, voice acting, and currently the most realistic environment, it stands amongst any action rpg game of its kind. The option from choosing between first person and third person view adds great element to the quality of gaming and also strategic advantages from switching between the two while playing. Any casual or hardcore gamer will appreciate the design and creativity of being a rebel cowboy during the end of the old west and seeing your character develop and building relationships with his gang as you progress through the whole game. The freedom of decisions and moving away from the main story is the most intriguing element of the title. Having the oppurtunity to roam, rob, hunt, playing poker etc allows any gamer to have endless hours of gameplay while not worrying about completing the story in order to receive that satisfaction of accomplishment. The game does allow new users to be introduce into the red dead redemption world without feeling empty or confused if you did not have the oppurtunity to play the first title. This allows new gamers unfamilar with the franchise to start the game play as if he or she needs to purchase the first title to feel complete while playing the game. One of the best games ever to be created. In the future it will be related to the legends of video games that will be in the discussion of best ever or best of its time.… Expand

    Rockstar's best game as of yet.

    Best graphics on console. Best sound effects in a game I've experienced. Amazing story and characters. Great voice acting as always. I was happy to see that Steven Ogg voiced a character in the game, he's a great actor. I wish Landon Ricketts from RDR1 would've been in the game but sadly his voice actor passed away a few years ago. I really missed the    Rockstar's best game as of yet.

    I really missed the physics from GTA IV and RDR in GTA V, which was the biggest disappointment of GTA V in my opinion. But with RDR2, the great, realistic and amusing physics are back. The world is amazing, lots of animals, lots of collectibles to find, lots of characters to meet and lots of places to discover.

    When I'm riding around with my horse I stop pretty much every 30 seconds looking at the landscape, studying and hunting animals, exploring buildings, interacting with NPCs etc.

    The controls on the other hand are not the best, but I'm not sure if that's Rockstar's fault. To me it seems the controller doesn't have enough buttons, R2 is both aiming and interacting with an NPC, and R1 is both swapping between stuff to interact with or taking cover, which can be annoying at times. It would've worked great on a keyboard obviously. I hope the PS5's controller will get an upgrade in terms of buttons. Movement is a bit clunky but that didn't bother me too much, I get used to it pretty fast.

    Rockstar's RDR2 lived up to my expectations and brought even more. I really enjoyed the game. I started my second playthrough today and I'm going for 100% completion. It will take a while because there's so much to do, which is great. And it's not filled with annoying stuff like there is in other games.

    Best game of the decade in my opinion. I hope the online part will be amazing as well.    … Expand

    The game is just boring. You spend most of the time riding a horse from A to B pressing X repeatedly while listening conversations. At the beginning, it's ok. After playing it for 20 hours... it's just extremely boring. Controls are awful. Everything feels slow and clunky. Every single action, such as looting, has an animation.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game that many people will say is one of the greatest games of all time and perhaps one of the only games that people cant find often as a much more refined experience of open world shooter games, for my case I can agree with that statement. Red Dead Redemption 2 offers amazing attention to detail in both story and game-play in which the player can really feelRed Dead Redemption 2 is a game that many people will say is one of the greatest games of all time and perhaps one of the only games that people cant find often as a much more refined experience of open world shooter games, for my case I can agree with that statement. Red Dead Redemption 2 offers amazing attention to detail in both story and game-play in which the player can really feel the amount of effort that was put into the game, nearly everything you do in this game is animated and the amount of realism can really blow your mind from how far Rockstar really went with this game. As much as I love the game as it is right now, and that Red Dead Online hasn't been released yet, I can only talk about the experience i have had so far from playing the game to explore, and playing the game's story components.

    The game in my opinion has some of the best story writing people haven't seen for ages when it comes to AAA game franchises, from people leaving games like Call of Duty or Destiny to finally finding and playing a game that has some story in which it will really leave a memory for you. The game also offers really amazing graphics and a good amount of weapon selection, and the players themselves feel like they have so many different things they can do in the game, leaving endless opportunities to unfold and create their own story outside of the game's own story missions.

    The main issues I have with game (I play on a ps4) are the fact that the game has so many animations for what you do that sometimes they can feel like they are dragging you down from versatility of your own movement. As someone that plays on ps4 I feel I am not the only one having this issue. I cant really say the same for some PC players because they aren't the ones playing on a controller.

    Whenever I try to perform an action, like for example moving a wagon with two horses on it, often times ill see myself struggling to stop the horses even though I spam R1 (which is how you stop them), and often times whenever I do, the horses will eventually get stuck on some rocks somehow, and make them basically unable to move. This is probably just me being completely reckless with what I do however, so take this sentence with a grain of salt for me being retarded as a player. But when it comes to actual movement in the game like I said before, sometimes whenever you perform an action, like taking food and such, the movement will feel very heavy and clunky compared to other games since literally everything you do has an animation, eventually this will result in players like me feeling like that its more of a chore to go loot items or skin animals.

    When it comes to gun-play the weapons in this game are very satisfying and amazing to use that often times you will find yourself too busy indulging in how great the weapons are, but when it comes to the different amount of weapons you can purchase and find, i'm slightly disappointed in what they did with this game. As much as I love the amount of customization you can have with yourself and the guns, the game just felt like there wasn't enough variety with what there was and that most guns feel like weaker re-skins of each other, even though this statement can be gone against with saying that you can customize your weapons to the point where they will feel different, but I feel as myself that even that isn't enough.

    As much as I love this game for the amount of effort put into it, i'll leave a solid 9 for now seeing as that not every game is perfect, but games like these will always have some sort of place in myself, especially that even with some flaws the game has, I myself am having a blast playing it.    … Expand

    Good game not great.

    Controls are not that great. Wish R* would get w/ the times and update their control scheme.

    Sometimes more like a Camping Simulation than a game.

    This games is not perfect like some say but its also not complete **** that others want you to think of it. But its a really nice open world game with random encounters bonding with your comrades and it also has online play. Therefore it gives way more than other games try to sell you for 60 euros. I am satisfied and look forward with the online play :)

    Look, I'll be honest: I found fun in this game by being evil. I am a very bad man. Very bad! I steal horses so I don't care if they die. I shoot people for **** and gigs all the time. I ignore bounties and make sure I have no money on me, so when I die... and I die a lot, I just don't care. I shoot animals but rarely skin them, because that's a headache in itself.

    In summary, this is a well made game with problems, there's a lot to do in this world, and as long as you find your own fun ( maybe not what Rockstar's heavy handed Dev team had in mind ) you'll get enjoyment from it's HUGE open world and it's many, many, many systems.    … Expand

All Fortnight/Battle Royale children need not apply to this game. Flea-jumping across the world won't save you here.
    The map is too large for such small-minded gameplay. You have to grind for sure but WoW has prepared me for life on this necessary evil. You can kill your horse so be careful. Too many gunbattles with my horse parked in a neglectful manner have cost her life, and if you are in the middle of nowhere its a LONG walk to anywhere. Oh. Watch out being an outlaw! It can be downright deadly and expensive but only the tough and onery choose the path of lawlessness so its difficulty is par for reality.
    Plenty of upgrades for weapons, clothing, ammo, and even your camp but again I say the word GRIND GRIND GRIND! Control can be a bit wonky at times. Crouching outside an enemy camp trying to loot the dead you will stand straight up for all to see, your gentle turn to the right or left can end up being a 180 or 360 degree turn, and the gunfights can sometimes feel as if your trying to kill the "Terminator" (see Arnold Schwarzenegger movie) but those are points of complaint, in which time, practice and a little finesse can cure.
    If you like the Western genre and enjoy a challenge this game will easily bring 60 hours of fun nevermind the side missions! I have seen reviews already complaining of 'microtransactions' in the forthcoming live version but that remains to be seen.
    Is this game for everyone? Absolutely not! Yet you would be silly not to give it a shot, especially if you are a mature gamer with experience (40 years + here) who can take care of business without the linear likes of COD and pay-to-win Fortnite.    … Expand

    I loved RDR 1, so I was long waiting for RDR 2. But the truth is: it's an ok game. Unfortunately, not great.

    Pros: - Beautiful environment - Good story and cutscenes - The details are awesome - I really loved the atmosphere. I'm not sure why, but it felt a little like WestWorld (minus the crazy AI) Cons: - The map feels empty, because of the points of interest are so distant    I loved RDR 1, so I was long waiting for RDR 2. But the truth is: it's an ok game. Unfortunately, not great.

    Pros:
    - Beautiful environment
    - Good story and cutscenes
    - The details are awesome
    - I really loved the atmosphere. I'm not sure why, but it felt a little like WestWorld (minus the crazy AI)

    Cons:
    - The map feels empty, because of the points of interest are so distant from each other and there is nothing to do between them.
    - It's basically a horse riding simulator. Because of the empty spaces, you have to ride... a lot! You ride 5 minutes, do something, and go back for another 5 minutes. Not to mention when they take your horse after some quests and you have to find a new one (since the fast travel system is awful).
    - Hunting is boring. It's so slow and you have to go back a lot to deliver the skins. First, you need to find the animals. After that, you need to locate a perfect skin animal (the others are bad), then you have to select the right weapon and ammo. If anyone passes near the place you are, the animals run (a lot!). And you need to track them again.
    - The tracking system is horrible. You have to keep using it (and pressing the buttons) and it also slows down time, which is annoying.
    - The shooting system is a mistake. It's so bad that I don't wanna play anymore.
    - Honor doesn't make sense. In the quests, you can kill, steal, rob houses. And it does not affect your honor. They keep telling that's is ok to do it, because you need and the world isn't a fair place. But when you search a corpse (that you didn't even kill), you lose honor. You have to keep saying hi to people to earn honor, which is kinda ridiculous.
    - There are events to fix the slow pace of the gameplay. You need to ride a lot, but sometimes you can get ambushed from other gangs or someone can try to steal your horse. It was supposed to be awesome. But you ride for so long, that sometimes your mind isn't anymore in the game (plus the shooting system is terrible). And when that happens, you probably going to die.
    - The details a boring and just a waste of time. Why do you need to brush your horse, take a shower, clean your weapon, make coffee? I love managers and RPGs, but those are just time consuming boring tasks.
    - The beginning is even slower. Why the snow? So much time needed to go from place to place. It was a terrible, terrible way to start the game.
    - Fishing controls are bad. Why do you need to keep rotating the R button to bring the fish closer.
    - To play poker or any other game takes soooo long. Why? You keep seing many animations. Argh!

    Honestly, what kills RDR2 for me are the controls, the empty spaces and the boring/detailed tasks. I don't know if they are going to fix those, but I probably will play if they patch some of those problems. For now, I prefer to play something else.    … Expand

I’m baffled that Rockstar thought it was a good idea to completely neuter your character for the final 1/3 of the game. The reliance on dead eye, hence continuous swigging down of every substance that will enable it, completely breaks the fluidity of combat. Limiting that ability made it become an incredibly annoying and frustrating trial. I absolutely loved the first part of the game, 10/10, but after a certain event happens, the gimbal movement coupled with shaky targeting without(or limited) deadeye completely ruined my enjoyment of the game. I no longer wanted to complete any side quests or activities. I just,angrily, wanted the game to be over. After all is said and done, I don’t see how this control scheme is going to be enjoyable in a multiplayer environment. It’s such a great game but the outdated gimbal like character movement and wobbly targeting just kill it. It’s a shame.… Expand

    There are few minor problems: primarily the movement does still have that classic Rockstar clunkiness to it and there's a few clipping errors with equipment at times. The beginning is a little slower than the original title, which I know has slightly turned off some players, but if it doesn't bother you and/or you can power through it, the aftermath will be worth the experience.

    But that's all nitpicking; overall, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a phenomenal game and gives the player a fantastic experience. For how much time, detail, money, and effort put into this game, $60 is an absolute steal for this piece of art.    … Expand

Glad other users on here have seen this, since pro journos can't be trusted.

    Gameplay:
    First person really doesn't work well. Difficulty is laughable, even playing in first person with all aim assist turned on. Enemies take multiple hits, and you are a tank. There's lots of standing in the open and shooting at each other from 10 feet away, out of cover, shaving off health with multiple shots. Basically gives everything a very low energy, low pressure feeling even with all assists turned off, so that you feel no excitement. The whole experience just feels like a chore. Free aim is terribly clunky, and hit detection is something they still haven't got the hang of without lock on turned on. I'm a very mediocre gamer, and this was one of the easiest game I've played, and not in a good way. Enemies are identical in behavior and armament, and don't behave organically enough to justify the sameness on the grounds of "realism". Last but not least, a lot of boring riding through the same forested landscape. Its wants to be the Witcher but lacks the beauty, variety, and depth of the countryside. It also can't get off its own shaft, and constantly make you ride the same area and pause so the developers can jerk themselves and make you look at their masterpiece. Never though, did I have organic moment like in other games where I stopped to admire.

    Story:
    Bad. But I have a much higher bar for stories than most people, while my gameplay bar is about average. Still if you like HBO stuff more than say FOX or NBC, the story will disappoint. It's the same tragic tale as last time, with very inconsistently written characters. The dialogue is great in some cases, but the overall story is very lacking. The biggest issue is the attempt to paint Arthur as the good guy, vs just a likeable bad guy.

    When you murder 700 law abiding government officials, its hard to portray the guy as a classic hero, but try they do. To make it doable, the employ the laziest method ever, which is to make everyone else racist, and Arthur and his gang of barely literate horse thieves and prostitute feminists and equality centric. Why is it okay that Arthur is killing trains full of 18 year US Army personal just doing a job? Oh, because they are, every one of them racists, so now Arthur the murdering thieve is a nice guy do-gooder. Dumb + lazy writing. Makes me wish for Niko again. Didn't pretend to be a good guy any more than Scarface, so when he thinned out the ranks of the NYPD, it still made sense.

    Value for money:
    Low. They claim like 200 hours in bonus activity, but this isn't the case. You end the game with tons of money, with nothing in the game world to spend it on. Even if you did have something worth buying, you wouldn't be able to make it. All side activities pay very poorly. Robbing a store (banks are not robbable???) pays 30$, meanwhile the bounty you'll rack up escaping will be a minimum of 400$ bounty if you want to have any fun, and you can lose thousands if you die. Bounties pay nothing, like 80$ on average, and hunting fishing is boring (somehow the only viable option is with a bow, and you there are so many animals you can just ride up to them and dead eye, making it pointless to go looking) and pays very little. Stick ups pay 50 cents, and always go the same way. Poker games are limited to 5$, also making them pointless. I think the reason the post game feels so dead is to force people into online.

    Overall 3/10

    The dialogue and some of the mini quests gets it to 3, but the awful gameplay, lacking 2d story and the total pointlessness of doing money making mission post game keep me from going any higher.    … Expand

    Best rockstar game and best cowboy game you can find out there. This is the most realistic and detailed open-world game that I have ever play, definitely the best game of this year along with God of War.

    I don't get what so special about this game besides its amazing story, best graphics of this gen, the most perfect open-world that seems to have no end, captivating characters, excellent music, clunky but functional mechanics, slow but involving pace and really fun activities. I think I need to play another 40 hours this weekend to figure out what people like about this game so much.

The attention to detail in this game definitely shows that this game has been designed for years and years, and the story, while bleak, is very well written and casted. Arthur is probably one of the most likable characters that Rockstar has ever made, and the people around them feel like actual people. The features list goes on and on, and as a person who finished the story I can say it wasn't a waste of time. My only complaint is that the areas from RDR1 in the game feel rather empty, as in there are no real tasks to do there once you get there. There are easter eggs in the area however. Anyone giving this a 0 has either never played the game, is all pissy over it not being on PC yet, or has some vendetta against Rockstar. This game is a shoe-in for Game of the Year.… Expand

Just because you're bad at the game, or just don't like the genre but for some stupid reason bought the game anyway, DON'T DRAG DOWN THE RATING. 10/10 game, buying isn't a mistake.

    Fair review of RDR2

    I'm almost 15% finished the game overall, which might be a little premature to review, but I just don't know if I can be bothered finishing the game, in all honesty. The things that are bothering me about this game are things that are fundamental to the gameplay anyway, and won't change no matter how much longer I play it. How to sum up RDR2: It's really not that    Fair review of RDR2

    I'm almost 15% finished the game overall, which might be a little premature to review, but I just don't know if I can be bothered finishing the game, in all honesty. The things that are bothering me about this game are things that are fundamental to the gameplay anyway, and won't change no matter how much longer I play it.

    How to sum up RDR2: It's really not that much fun to play, sadly. Considering I paid a fair sum for it, and am a big RDR, and was waiting ages in anticipation of this game's release, then I ask myself why my PS4 is switched off and I'd rather surf the net instead? I should be glued to the game during any free hours that are available, chomping at the bit to get back from work to get back into the fray , but instead I'm kind of sighing like ok, I'll give it another shot, it's going to get better. The game feels like it's had a lot of love invested in it, but it's unbalanced love, focused too much on unnecessary details and a plethora of tedious tasks/chores and not enough on fun gameplay. You can still communicate an artistic and meticulously-crafted experience, but the game still has to be fun!

    Obviously, the users giving it 0/10 are clearly wrong, there's no way it's a 0/10, but, at the same time, the critics giving it 10/10 seem deluded? There's no way a game this flawed is a masterpiece/GOTY candidate. Absolutely no way near it. Horizon Zero Dawn was a 9/10 for me, and it was a pleasure to play. You found yourself struggling to put the controller down. Not so in this case. Regarding the critics reviews of RDR2: is there something more sinister at play...?

    Pros:
    - When out and about in the open world, the graphics are really nice, the world feels very real and alive, with weather changes, wildlife, nice scenery etc. The storms that come in look really beautiful.
    - There's clearly been an investment of time in covering details which make the towns look like real old west towns.
    - The option to kill/spare some side characters that you meet adds an element of Telltale to the game, giving you the impression you're making your own story to some extent.

    Cons:
    - The control system really saps the fun out of the gameplay. It's convoluted, confusing, and very difficult to use, especially during the times when you need to retrieve items fast from your inventory, or switch guns. What were Rockstar thinking, in making the control system this way??
    - The movements of Arthur Morgan are clunky and don't feel smooth. He's either sauntering at a snail's pace or running full out. No in between. The playable cut scenes restrict you in many ways, but its' not always clear you're in one. It's frustrating. Gun fighting, running from cover to cover is awkward and doesn't flow well. Fist fighting is mostly just mashing one button and requires very little skill. It's not fun. It's certainly no Batman Arkham.
    - It's too much hassle to commit any crimes. I defended myself against an O'Driscoll, beat him up, then the law was called on me. It wasn't clear what the sheriff wanted me to do? It seemed like he was telling me to 'go on, git' (as in get out of here) but when I tried to run he started shooting. I then had to fight off a neverending spawn of deputies and run in my clunky run/swim style for about 15 minutes. The bounty system means its much. much more convenient to just pay off your bounties than continue to be an outlaw, as your crimes never go away.
    - The graphics of close up faces aren't anything special for PS4. Detroit Become Human set the bar on graphics and RDR2 is nowhere even close.
    - There are just too many tasks/chores to remember! Brush your horse, feed your horse, shave your face, clean your guns, earn money for the camp, hunt food for the camp, wear the right warm/light clothing, take this tonic, eat this food, and so on and so on. The tasks/chores actually do feel like chores, and I want to play a video game, not do chores.

    My advice would be if you are a RDR fan and want to give it a shot (no pun intended) then wait until the price goes down, and maybe during that time the game will be patched a bit.

    Hopefully Rockstar will read some fan reviews and take note for their next endeavour, as if RDR3 continues along this path, I won't be buying it.    … Expand

    The realism is both to the games credit and detriment.
    You will find yourself blown away at times by the attention to detail, like snow and mud that gets crushed as you walk through it or horse balls that shrink in the cold. At other times, you'll feel frustrated as hell, like when you've been riding your horse for an IRL hour and still haven't gotten to where you need to be.

    This game has a very interesting story, and a set of characters that'll convince you they're real, but I'm sorry to say that this game really does deserve the criticism it's getting. The bounty system is broken: someone punches you and you defend yourself? Instant bounty. Someone shoots at you and you shoot them back? Instant bounty. While these bounties aren't terribly expensive they are exceedingly annoying because having one BARS YOU FROM DOING MOST QUESTS, and you can't pay them off without going to a post office. What am I supposed to do when I'm in the middle of butt**** nowhere, halfway to a quest location, and now I have to ride all the way back just to pay off a bounty? I am blown away that an aspect of the game play could be this broken. As for the aiming: yeah it isn't great, but it isn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Just go into your settings and change your sensitivity: it makes a world of difference.

Having said that, the game environments, and character interactions are a bit more detailed than what you'd find in other games. However, as the holy word once said, graphics without gameplay is dead. Most of this game is spent riding a horse listening to some character ramble some uninteresting and poorly written exposition while you wait for the chance to actually do something that amounts to more than just pressing a button and watching the character go through some drawn out animation to do something mundane. Even after fast travel is unlocked, much of the time during missions is spent riding a horse while someone rambles some boring nonsense. When you finally happen upon those rare instances where you get to play the game part of the game, you realize it has the depth and detail of an Atari game because they didn't bother to give those parts of the game any attention at all. It's uncreative and lacking of anything beyond the very basic mechanics necessary to make a game and said mechanics have no polish at all.

    This game is like decorative food. It has very little substance, if any, but it's incredibly ornate with plenty of detail. It's a waste of your time at best and there is not one hypothetical person I could, in good conscience, recommend this game to.    … Expand

    A phenomenal follow-up to one of the best games of the last ten years. The attention to detail is brilliant. The story is a slow burn that ramps up the further you progress. It would take far too long to detail every aspect/system of this game, but for me it was well worth the wait. Do yourself a favor, and pick it up.

    So i am here to address problems and hive a true score.
    Problems:
    1.) Gunplay. Have you played GTAV or RDR1. It is basically ripped from both those games. 10 hours is not long enough to really get good using it. It takes a second to really get proficient with it. Also, to the idiots saying there's a delay. You have to pull the trigger again to make Arthur rack another round idiot. Guns haven't always been simi-automatic.
    2.) Not fun. Are you serious??? I mean literally go into town and play poker. Won/lose money. Get mad if you lose shoot the guy in the face and have a standoff with the law. Kinda like GTAV. Only difference if the law isn't gonna chase you at all costs and kill other people to get to you like in GTAV. Also. The beginning is slow. Its called character building. Get your 10 hours of play time out. Come back around 25.
    3.) Empty world. Once again are you daft? There are literally random events that can happen if you just ride around! Granted theres not ine around every corner, but take some time and look. You get chain gang prison escapes, (slight spoiler)kkk meeting that always end hilariously by them killing themselves and random people who need help. Its not empty if you actually look people!
    Those are the main complaints.
    Review: pretty much pros and cons.
    Pros:
    Story, World building, characters, graphics, open world, days of fun, mini-games, hunting
    Neutral:
    Gunplay, gathering resources,(ie ammo and looting, picking herbs, and slow to start, but does pick up.
    Cons:
    Deadeye can make certain fights very easy. Note: Not a bad mechanic, just a tad overpowered. Some story elements are kinda unbelievable, but its a video game so meh, and no Red Dead Online at launch. Kinda sad, but at least we are getting it for free. So my total rating comes in at a 9/10. Not a flawless game, but it is dang close.    … Expand

The game needs a patch bad and a couple things changed. It's not fun or innovative for me to have to go to my horse for most of my stuff, it's not fun taking forever to hunt, carve up and put SOME animal pelts on the horse. It isn't fun holding multiple buttons to run, holding buttons to play a game that feels like it controls like a game from 2003. Not sure what happened in their overworked, 100 hour weeks that they messed up mobility so bad, but please patch it. Let me keep my stuff on my character, let me move without a stick in my butt, let me grab stuff out of a drawer all at once with pushing the button once or twice. The other huge issue that needs patched is the character models looks like A$$, like early ps4 games A$$. The HDR doesn't work and screenshots looks hideous. There isn't a photo mode? I know some don't care, but I love showing off the games I play and having good pictures helps a lot. What I do like is the care and detail to the world, the shop books are incredibly done, corpses rot, people remember you when you save them, the random occurrences are Skyrim good! If stuff isn't fixed, I probably won't finish the game, because everything feels like a chore and if i'm not having fun the game has failed in my opinion. You can be as detailed and ambitious as you want, but if it's not a good escape from the real world, then why bother? I'm not giving up on it yet and if they fix all of this and the story delivers, absolutely GOTY, but right now it's looking like Spider-Man or God of War have that honor. I mean this is a veteran company who put nearly eight years into this game and the game itself took 2-6 hours to download and install depending on where you live! No other game or company would still be getting 9/10, 10/10’s for the game performing so poorly after that. People aren’t even letting Bethesda get away with it on the new Fallout game for crying out loud. My score is mostly round up out of respect for the work put into it and not so much enjoying the game as a whole so far.… Expand

    This is my first video game review on Metacritic so I apologize if what I say isn't consistent with the expected tone. After 30 hours of play-through, I can safely say Red Dead 2 is a perfect example of an over-developed game. The hair-splitting attention to detail is indeed unprecedented in modern video games and I commend the development team for their hard-work.

    But let's be honest,    This is my first video game review on Metacritic so I apologize if what I say isn't consistent with the expected tone. After 30 hours of play-through, I can safely say Red Dead 2 is a perfect example of an over-developed game. The hair-splitting attention to detail is indeed unprecedented in modern video games and I commend the development team for their hard-work.

    But let's be honest, video games aren't paintings to gaze and admire with deep-thought. Video games are about gameplay and player interaction, and Rockstar seriously dropped the ball there.

    Rockstar advertised Red Dead 2 as a successor both in spirit and narrative to the original Red Dead Redemption. Official trailers showed nail-biting train robberies, intense shoot-outs, and dynamic player environments in a seemingly limitless world to explore and engage.

    Except, the game is none of these things. Yes, the game is beautiful. Yes, the voice-acting and narrative is Oscar-worthy. But the gameplay? Sloppy. Unbalanced. Broken. Simply, not fun.

    In spite of being offered an inconceivably open-world to explore, Rockstar forces players to engage an environment ruled by a police state not unlike North Korea. Look at someone too long in Valentine? Bounty. Bump into someone? Bounty. Someone tries to rob you and you defend yourself? Bounty. Fart? Bounty.

    These bounties make it near impossible to complete missions and continue the story-line. Once killing a lawman, you can no longer surrender and are essentially banned from entering the most important and interesting areas of the game.

    Kill a few NPC and rob a horse and you'll have to spend 4-10 hours grinding away to find enough cash to pay off the bounty and play the game.

    This can't be a design flaw. After 250 million dollars in development costs, no doubt Rockstar intended the player environment to be exactly as it is.

    If you anticipate the game to play like a sequel to the first one, lower your expectations. This game plays like a job rather than something fun and interesting. Hard pass.    … Expand

The detail is insane and shows how much passion the developers had for the game, most game developers are lazy and it shows, like BO4 with water in Blackout mode worse than Ocarina of time on N64, and does nothing when shot at.

    To address some silly/lying negative reviews:

    Games boring: The first chapter acts as a tutorial and introduces characters, after it's free roam. The games huge and full of quality content and missions, challenges, activities, easter eggs. It's not a childish game like Fortnite is COD BO4, it's like a slow boiling Hollywood movie with a brilliant storyline and much to absorb.

    Clunky: The controls are like other Rockstar games, if you can't grasp them you shouldn't be playing games as they're really not that hard and have a ton of configuring options. Free aim does need some configuration but otherwise it's all well thought out considering how many different actions there are to perform.

    You can kill animals it's evil: My favourite bad reviews are SJW people whinging because you can kill animals in it, what do you think people did in 1899, telegram just eat for desert grown potato salad? Or maybe go TK Maxx for a nike winter coat and cowboy hat. Vegetarian was what apache's called bad hunters, veganism didn't exist until 1944. Even aggressive comanche Indians had 1-2 horses per every man/woman and live stock of several million wilderbeast/horses. Without live stock these silly people's ancestors probably would've starved. I love animals more than people but SJW's need to stop whinging because game developers choose to base a game on realism and history.

    It doesn't work good on pc: Really? The game isnt out on pc, only consoles.

    4K/HDR isn't good: game HDR calibration to 500, TV brightness to 47, TV HDR dynamic contrast to high, TV blacks to low, TV colour temp 50. Result = sexy visuals. As standard HDR causes asharper cricket textured picture but a bit darker with washed out colours, it could've been better off the bat, maybe they'll patch it soon. But these settings on my LG TV created a lively vivid picture.

    Bounty system is broken: No, it's realistic, exit an area quick enough and no bounty. Commit crimes next to lawman and you'll be wanted with a bounty. Wear a mask after the crime and you'll be hidden but be threatened to remove it, and if doing so will be recognized. Locked down towns go back to normal with time and bounties lessen with time. Chance clothes, shave hair, grow a beard, you'll lose the bounty or won't be recognized as easily depending on severity of changes. If you can't handle evading some bounty hunters or lawman, which is what the game is about believe it or not, go join a gang of pansies, not outlaws.

    And that's about it, a truly impressive game that raises the bar for many lazy quick cash grab developers.    … Expand

I love everything about the game and that includes the downtime but unfortunately you see people buying it purely because its a rockstar game with the expectations of the game being something like GTA 5 where you drive fast cars and go to the strip club. Well i hate to break it to you, but its a wild western shooter that doesn't lean on traditional gameplay to be fun.… Expand

    Just completed the story in the game. One of the best games in which I played, really loved the main character, the voice actor did an incredible job. Stunning work with the music and sounds of the world, it feels so alive!
    Thanks for the game, Rockstar!

    Video games of this level come out once a decade. All possible game mechanics, game design and visuals are at a new level. RockStar did it again!

    Exactly what I was expecting. Very good story, the side missions are incredible, the graphics looks amazing and the gameplay is good. I know it is very slow paced but I love it and I know it might not be for some of you people, but if you wanna explore and take your time and enjoy the game, you gonna have a wonderful time.

    Занижать игре оценку за то, что нет ПК-версии, озвучки или перевода на твой язык (например, на арабский) - это так же глупо, как говорить: "у меня в день покупки игры болела задница, поэтому игре я ставлю 0 баллов".

Монотонно и скучно играть? Слишком долго перезаряжается? Пустая карта? Имеете право так считать, но я с вами не согласен. Считаю. что RDR II прекрасно передаёт атмосферу неспешного аналогового мира, которой не было в RDR I, и которая, похоже, пришлась по душе не всем. Rockstar рискнули и решили в одиночной кампании сделать ставку на реализм, а для менее усидчивых игроков скоро будет Red Dead Online.

    Diminishing the game score for not having a PC version, voice acting or translating it into your language (for example, Arabic) is as stupid as saying: "I had an assache on the day I bought a game, so I put the game 0 points" . Monotonous and boring to play? Slow recharging and shooting? Empty Map? I'm respect your opinion, but I disagree with you on that. I think. that the RDR II contants the perfect vibe of the unhurried analog world, which was not in the RDR I, and which, it seems, was not liked by everyone. Rockstar took a chance and decided to bet on realism for a single-player campaign, and for more fidget players there will soon be Red Dead Online.

    Phenomenal game, only half way through it and it's already probably my favorite game of all time. Gameplay is solid, horses and wagons feel much better and more realistic than in the first game, gun play is satisfying def feels like a big step up from the original.

The open world is one of the best I've seen in any game, being able to interact with any NPC you come across in more ways than just shooting them in the head goes a long way. The music is on point, I didn't think it could get much better than the first game. Story is great, from the trailers I didn't think I'd like Arthur much but he's just as likeable as John from the first game IMO. So far I've experienced no crashes and only 3 or 4 major glitches in roughly 20 hours of play, the first few hours are quite slow but it picks up quickly after the first couple missions. Can't recommend it enough, if you liked the first Red Dead Redemption you'll love this.… Expand

    Ohhhh my fu*king god , this game is fantastic , my only complain is the character control is bad , so bad actually. Its basically wild west simulation with a good storyline and decent gunplay.

    This is a long game , so beware people who like to rush game will find this game a bit annoying , like no fast travel >>> yes i understand why some people dont like this mechanic

    Any score for this game less than an 8 is laughable. It is an absolutely stunning achievement in video game design, and currently represents the pinnacle of what an open world adventure can be. Controls took me about three solid days of playing to become totally comfortable with, and once that happened, any time I play, I am not here. I am there. Total immersion.

    Graphics and design    Any score for this game less than an 8 is laughable. It is an absolutely stunning achievement in video game design, and currently represents the pinnacle of what an open world adventure can be. Controls took me about three solid days of playing to become totally comfortable with, and once that happened, any time I play, I am not here. I am there. Total immersion.

    Graphics and design are unparalleled. This sets the bar. I didn't even know my PS4 could do what this game manages and it has all but ruined every other open world game I own (sorry Skyrim, sorry Witcher 3).

    Gameplay is as varied as any Rockstar game. In this one respect, it is GTAV on horses, it is Red Dead Redemption on ultra-steroids. Play poker, go fishing, chill by a campfire telling stories, rob a stagecoach, go hunting, watch a variety show, wander the countryside, whatever. If you see it you can go there but good luck getting there without being interrupted by a half-dozen side quests. The main quest is compelling and full of solid characters played by solid actors.
    Even though it sets the new bar, it's not perfect. I got frustrated (particularly in the early game) by how little personal agency I actually had. When it comes to the main quests and side quests, you are essentially on rails, doing what the game wants you to do (rather than what you want to do). It's impossible to play a totally "good" guy, and it's likewise impossible to play a totally "bad" guy. RDR2 makes you straddle that gap and ultimately always pushes you in the direction it wants for each event. But I came to accept that limitation, it's a small price to pay for the wonder of the world it lets you play in. Controls are also not immediately intuitive, there's a fairly steep learning curve, and eventually you learn that changing weapons or outfits on the fly isn't quite as easy as it should be - sometimes you leave stuff on your horse that you need, sometimes while flipping through the radials you hit the wrong thing - it's a little on the cumbersome side, and every button on the controller is used with both short and long-presses which adds to the initial confusion. Once you get it, though, and it starts to become second-nature, it's hard to imagine any other way they could have done it. A final thing to gripe about is just how often you are interrupted when you're trying to either do something else or just chill out. There's almost always someone coming up to you asking you to do something and if you engage them, you're suddenly back on your horse heading halfway across the map again. A lot of people find travel tedious, I don't, so I can forgive this, but it has caused me more than a few frustrating moments in the game where I was pulled away from what I really wanted to be doing. Combined with the 'on-rails' feeling of quests, there's very little actual player agency beyond making your guy look the way you want, and choosing between somewhat arbitrary "be a cool guy or be a dick" options throughout the game. I dock it a point for these things.
    But that's a hard point to dock, because this may be the greatest video game ever made, to-date. It's a huge, living, organic, nearly photorealistic world and a total dream-come-true for fans of the western genre. Your move, Bethesda. If they can make their next open fantasy world feel truly -this- alive, I will be in heaven. For now I'll do my business with a rifle.    … Expand

    It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]

    Amazing not only for Western lovers. No other game has probably offered so many options to express yourself in the open world, and at the same time did not have such an interesting, rough and moving story. A magnificent experience, with a slightly slower start. [Issue#291]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
