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

RDR2 on the other hand completely breaks the mould that open world games have been set in for a long time. The way they blend cinematic style moments and game play is amazing . The way the music drifts in and out matching the things you are doing in the world really enhances the experience. The excitement of old world gun fights and surviving of the land really makes this game a standout in this generation.
    As this is a Rockstar game the controls and movement leans closer to realism over twitch accuracy and when I first experienced this movement in GTA 4 and Max Payne 3 I found it off putting, but as I adapted to it (as intelligent people are able to do), I have found it to be incredibly intuitive and gives the overall game play a level of immersion and satisfaction that you dont find often in control schemes. Riding a horse through this world is an experience in itself, it is the most realist interpretation of horse riding and care, ever in a game and as this is set in the old west you spend a lot of the time on horse back and every time I mount the horse and giddy him up there is a sense of enjoyment.
    I have found a couple of negatives with the game, firstly on the PS4 pro the game uses a strange filter or dithering effect to run the game at a higher resolution, its really detracts for the beautiful game world at times and I really hope the give an option to lower the resolution for a crisper image in the future. The other issue is (Tap A rapidly to move fast) having to tap the A button rapidly to sprint and Gallop does add to the sense on movement and urgency in the game, but it isnt worth it for the carpel tunnel you get in your hand, I am getting on in years and I have to stop playing this game due to the pain it causes in my hand. There is also the issue of the realism of the controls and the animation making it a chore to control Aurther, there feels like many cheap deaths when Aurther dosent do what you expect because he is reacting to some random object in the environment and all the small animation add up to being extremely irritating to watch after a time.
    The size of the world, the graphics, the psychics, everything is this game has level of polish and attention to detail that puts every game before it shame. They have really spared no expense or time to get the most from the Wild West world they have created and only the simplest and toxic of minds would be able to say this game is anything less than Amazing.

The graphics are gorgeous, the setting is beautiful, the atmosphere feels real, the characters talk and behave as real people. All these elements combined really help create a true western story.

    Now. To the actual game part. That's the main issue for me. The controls are clunky AF, the pacing is slow and most of the time you feel bored while you travel the place looking for something to do. The character walks as fast as snail when he is not in the wilderness, and most of the time I feel as if I am playing for a couple of hours without getting much done. Then I do a quest or two, get bored and stop playing it.

    But the main problem in my opinion are the controls... they seem outdated, weird, almost broken sometimes. Everything about the game feels bureaucratic and slow. You never quite know exactly what you are doing most of the time because everything is so poorly explained.

    At this point, I am playing it to see how this story ends and because RDR 1 is one of my favorite games. This 2nd game seems to be all smoke and mirrors, all hype and not much else. I actually cannot believe this is how I feel about this game.

    But the truth is that, for me, playing Red Dead Redemption 2 has been a chore.

    Hi everyone, I'm writing this review hence some pc butthurt people cannot stress the fact that it isn't on their master race piece of hardware or they cannot believe a game different from their usual fast pace Call of Duty **** is getting perfect reviews, let me establish once for all this thing, coming from a former internal reviewer at Ubisoft in Bucharest, the game is staggering, if notHi everyone, I'm writing this review hence some pc butthurt people cannot stress the fact that it isn't on their master race piece of hardware or they cannot believe a game different from their usual fast pace Call of Duty **** is getting perfect reviews, let me establish once for all this thing, coming from a former internal reviewer at Ubisoft in Bucharest, the game is staggering, if not 'perfect' nonetheless, let me explain.
    The game is slow and using this as an argument is pretty ignorant on your part, when this is the charm of it, the western times, historically speaking, were slow and tensed, such pace the teams in Kyiv, Montreal etc tried to replicate on Black Flag and I might say they HAD to get it wrong, just because it was 'boring', at the end we failed making a true pirate-ish experience, fearing it was 'too empty'; the fact that Rockstar went a step further and not just making it true to the times, but enforcing this type of gameplay, they had the result of a game that's amazingly immersive and if you disagree, then sorry, it's just not your cup of tea then, but remember, slow pace isn't a flaw, but rather a strong point, especially when in the same review you admit that it's beautiful as a game, so if you would just stop and look at things from time to time, it's a chill, immersive and tensed experience, trust me.
    Now you might be wondering, why I'm saying tensed, oh well, start the game and you'll see that the music, the landscape, the details like your gun being cocked or your gun just stop working, dropping your weapon to pickup a shotgun from your horse, the moment you'll be facing 8 goons at once and trying to intimidate them by shooting in the air, because you're on plain sight with no cover, a simple ambush in the swamp, or a heist of a train, you can see where I'm going, those moments get tensed, because you're so used with the calm pace of the game and immediately you're thrown in a life-death situation, where if you **** up, you're dead. And to be honest, the game isn't empty at all, but that's for you to decide, for me it wasn't up until this point and until now I analyzed just gameplay, I just got into the story and it fits perfectly to the overall idea and scenery of the game. It's a game where you're ACTUALLY LIVING THE WEST LIFE.
    Now let me tackle some arguments:
    1. 'I hate when my horse is too far away' - it's a gameplay mechanic, take care of your horse, and it won't be that much of a problem, it's basically to make it more realistic than the usual Metal Gear 'I'm calling the horse and it randomly spawns from the oblivion' thing.
    2. 'I hate it's not on the PC' - FINALLY I can talk about this, so, basically there are 2 ways of releasing something on consoles and pc, you either program 2 games, which takes longer to do and it takes the focus out from the production of the game OR you do one (either consoles or pc) and then port it to the other hardware, which, for me, it's a terrible idea cause always people will rant about differences and the immense number of bugs the ported one has, or should I recall Batman to prove my point? I respect Rockstar for choosing to focus on the game and then make a separate and working game on the PC, I think Rockstar either will respond to the requests and make a PC version, after they released the online version, or they will just leave it on the consoles, life is life, I owned a 360 and the last of us came out but I didn't make a fuss about it, even though I'm a PC guy, accept the fact that Rockstar intends to focus on the game, rather than selling.
    3. 'It's a chore' - It is for those that don't want to accept realism, this isn't again your average juggernaut suit killing every **** in my way kinda **** this is a lifestyle type of game, if you wanna destroy everything in your path, Rockstar got you covered with GTA, sooo cheers

    Cheers indeed, I wanted to add some more, but to be honest I just wanted to put my counter-argument on display, I'll keep the rest of my opinion to myself, even though the storyline was... astonishing, the reasoning for my vote is the story, attention to detail, the world, the theme and of course the beauty of it all... and also for the fact that I can play poker in-game, well done Rockstar.

    P.S. I'm Romanian, so any type of English brainfart moments, I'm sorry for em, I tried my best :3

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. a little too hyped, but still a solid game. Story is good. Shooting feels good. horses feel great. doesn't have the **** setup missions from gtav. I wish there were some more weapons; I wanted to go to another gunsmith and see the different weapons they had, but every vendor has the same thing. lots of fun shootouts. Has some good humor. Some cut-scenes were really amazing and showed emotion in an indirect manner. I wish the main character was a more compelling, but he still passes as a human being, but I think thats more of a matter of opinion. And lots of side stuff to do. Random encounters arent always a mission and i like that, keep it simple. I am almost done with the game and will be updating my review after that.

    FINAL REVIEW: A really great game. Arthur becomes a father like character by the end of the game and that made me feel a connection towards him. I ended up liking him more than John. The game gets A LOT better after the 3rd chapter. The pace picks up and tensions rise in the later chapters. The ending is set up very well and delivers an emotional experience that I loved so much. There were a few characters I wish I could spend more time with, but the character building was still pretty good. I wish the new area after you complete the game was less empty; there isnt much to do. Sorry if this review is a bit messy, Im just listing any criticism or praise that comes to mind. The people that are giving the game a 0/10 really need to grow the **** up and actually play the game.

    - Strange control decision - Not intuitive and clunky
    - Way too much "chores" that NEEDS To be done if you want to get good perks

    I'm only giving 5 because technically speaking this game is perfect and beautiful. Just looking at all the different animations when cutting the wood at camp (another useless task) is fantastic. There are at least 6 or 7 different realistic animation. But they should have pass more time on the game play. This is the first miss of Rock Star

    one piece of an advice to my fellows gamers "DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE"

    Pros :
    High Production values .

    Cons : (I will only mention a few of many here )
    1- Very very bad controls
    2-shooting is not fun (I enjoyed shootings in some games like Uncharted and TLOUS and Battlefield but maan!
    isn't this game suppose to be a cowboy game when shooting is the main focus thing and most polished element in the game ?!!
    shooting is not fun and the aim assistant is just ridiculous (I know I can remove it but still controls suck any time you try to shoot without it )
    the red eye is just too powerful and ridiculous .

    They should have copied uncharted shooting mechanism if they cant invent a proper one for the 3rd person view
    and copied battlefield or call of duty shooting mechanics for the 1st person view.

    3- camera ffff... camera transition between 3rd person to 1st person is not smooth and it suck and the 1st person view is just too clunky. (the transition made the screen disappeared for like milliseconds which killed for me to switch during shootouts ) and the first person gone is just the worst

    their are many other cons I will not mention here because the above were enough to make me stop playing the game,

    I don't understand the 10s that the game have got its 6 at best..
    Reviewers either stupid and just follow the hype, or they are just greedy bastards who just got paid...

    it make no sense and no excuse for rockstar to not develop a proper shooting mechanism with all the billions of dollars they make)

    and one last thing; RAGE engine is just SUCK!! while the landscapes looks beatiful, the character models and character skin is just BAD... with all the billions they made they should by now developed and engine like EA's forstbite engine or even better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With a small communities like the Dutch's gang, everyone has to pitch in. You can do things like fishing, hunting, and donating to the camp. You can also participate in games like Five Finger Fillet and Dueling. The horses are very in-depth and are actually important, unlike it's predecessor. It's also missing it's predecessor's horrible game breaking bugs, such as punching a corner of a wall to fly to the skybox. Overall, the game provides a satisfying prequel to Red Dead Redemption.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemptiom Two is the most detailed, well-crafted and neat game I've ever seen in my entire life. The attention given to the minutiae details that any game would treat as unimportant, here are treated with the same importance of main mission. The characters are captivating, the story is engaging, the world is alive and detailed on an absurd level, all npcs have non-repetitive dialogues that enrich the experience in some way. The various mechanics of the game, do things that are usually considered as just aesthetic, now have a function, such as clothes for cold or heat, beard, hair, dirt on weapons, clothes or horse, all interfere with the gameplay. the game has a slower pace, and this is not a failure but a characteristic that we should adapt. The amount of things to do between missions, keeps us busy, which guarantees a long useful life to the game, activities like poker, dominoes, hunting, fishing, blackjack and the own exploration of the world that hides several easter eggs and fun secrets very. Play calmly, and taking advantage of every moment, if you try to play this game in a hurry, it will NOT WORK.

The fact that you have to press R2 to pull the hammer back on a revolver or cock a rifle before firing adds a whole new gameplay element to the game causing you to quickly learn how best to approach combat which is usually sticking to cover rather than walking towards everyone like the terminator. Now U'm not going to list all the things the game does well because everyone has said it already but the things it does poorly. First things first, the pacing of the game particularly in the beginning can be rather slow almost boring as the game demands to teach you all of the basics within the first 2 chapters which can be a chore at times. The bounty system also could use some work as there have been too many times when I have been on my horse and a random dog or person walks in front of me and I run them over by accident just t.o get in trouble with the law. The controls at time can also be extremely clunky especially in first person I literally cannot look backwards in first person without my horse driftng off the road or beginning to spin in circles. There are more flaws bit rather minor ones.

    Overall the gaame is amazing the story an characters are amazing but, because of the issues with controls and some other issues I can't give the game a 10. 10 is reserved for 'masterpieces' Red Dead Redemption 2 is cloe to it but not quite there I would recommend this game to anyone who enjoys good storytelling and immersive wo

Interesting story and more importantly varied gameplay that show you a bit of everything you can do when the world opens up. And of course, the controls did feel cluncky the first few hours, but after getting used to them, they feel great! And I don't know what kind of games the majority here plays, but I can't see why people dislike the gameplay. The combat feel exciting since you have to balance staying in cover with finding stuff and keeping friends alive, other objectives are varied and exciting without being too fast-paced. I love that the game encourages you to hang around at camp, hunting and exploring, but it doen't force you to do anything. You can just do whatever you want to at any time, which for me is the most important factor in making a game fun. Does a 10/10 game have to be perfect? Of course not, but the flaws cannot detract from how fun and impressive the game is. For me, the only "flaws" I can think of can either be changed in settings, or doesn't detract from the experience at all. Expand

It doesn't feel forced I can go at my own space and just get lost into all the activities they put into this game.

    I understand some of the criticism because sometimes (at the beginning) the game maybe bee a bit overwhelming and It will require you to but time and effort into it.

    Thank you to all the people who have worked on this amazing game.

    ps. the music score and the voice acting are also very good, Rockstar standard!! Outlaws 4 life.

    El apartado técnico y artístico
    del mundo de Red Dead Redemption 2
    es, simplemente, espectacular.
    Seguramente es una mejores obras a nivel técnico de la historia.
    Poder subir a lo alto de una montaña
    y ver a lo lejos las distintas llanuras, vegetación, praderas, ríos...
    y todo ello a lomos de nuestro caballo,
    es algo digno de contemplar.

    Otro apartado a destacar es la iluminación.
    El cómo interactúan las distintas luces con los objetos del entorno
    en función del movimiento,
    la hora del día y la intensidad de cada foco,
    hace que las distintas localizaciones
    se impregnen de una personalidad propia.

    La paleta de colores de esta segunda entrega
    es bastante más variada,
    ambientes fríos, otros más cálidos,
    con mucha o poca vegetación...
    Compone un lejano oeste mucho más colorido
    de lo que podríamos tener en nuestro imaginario colectivo.

    Las animaciones están cuidadas con un mimo especial.
    Al contrario que muchos otros juegos,
    en los que recoger un objeto del suelo
    significa pasar por encima
    y al segundo tenerlo en nuestro inventario,
    en esta producción prácticamente todas las acciones
    tienen su animación,
    lo que hace que todo se vuelva más tangible y físico.

    Combate

    Desde luego nos encontramos
    ante un juego clásico de Rockstar.
    Sandbox de mundo abierto, en tercera persona.

    Tiroteos, duelos o peleas a puñetazo limpio,
    serán una de las vías que tendremos
    para solucionar los problemas que se nos pongan por delante.
    Aunque no siempre habrá que usar la violencia,
    ya que se nos presentarán ocasiones
    en las que no hará falta que matemos a nadie,
    lo cual podrá beneficiar a nuestra fama,
    convirtiéndonos así en un hombre más o menos honorable.
    Entonces, los tenderos y comerciantes
    nos harán descuentos en sus negocios.
    Si estamos en busca y captura, nadie confiará en nosotros.
    Para limpiar nuestro honor,
    podremos pagar nuestras deudas en la oficina de correos. El Dead Eye vuelve con ciertas mejoras, pero sigue manteniendo la mecánica fundamental de ralentizar el tiempo para poder marcar distintos objetivos a la vez. Este tipo de habilidades nos ayudarán en momentos donde nos veamos superados en número, o contra depredadores letales. Porque habrá animales que en un abrir y cerrar de ojos nos devorarán en un instante. Conclusiones Red Dead Redemption 2 es, sin lugar a dudas, el nuevo estándar en cuanto a sandbox se refiere; la vara de medir por la que tendrán que pasar todos los siguientes juegos. Un hito al alcance de muy pocos estudios. La densidad y realismo que ofrece puede resultar abrumadora para algunos jugadores, incluso tediosa, pero lo cierto es que no hay producción equiparable en cuanto a valores de producción. Este es un producto para dedicarle horas, muchas horas. Realmente, cada vez que te pones a jugar sientes que es distinta a la anterior. En una cazas, en otra avanzas en la trama, otro día estás en busca de unos forajidos para cobrar el precio por su cabeza y otro día te persiguen a ti. Hay veces en que directamente te da la sensación de haber malgastado tu tiempo, solo porque has estado paseando con tu caballo o jugando al póquer en alguna cantina. Volver al viejo Oeste de la mano de Arthur Morgan es una experiencia refrescante y familiar, mantiene muchas de las cosas que hicieron grande a su predecesor, pero añade un sinfín de posibilidades. Ya podemos afirmar que Red Dead Redemption 2 ha cumplido las expectativas y no nos cansaremos de cabalgar en un tiempo.

Arthur is a great character that I have grown fonder of throughout the game and I can't wait to see how his story ends.

    There are some bugs right now that I'm sure will be patched and yes the pace is quite slow, but that allows you to appreciate the world. It can be confusing and overwhelming at first but once you've put a few hours into it you will get the hang of most of the features. I haven't given it a ten because the movement is frustrating, there are a few bugs and the honour and bounty systems are confusing and annoying at times.

    It's easy to see past that though, if you have 100 hours of free time to spare, you could do worse than spending that time playing this incredible game. I can't wait for the online so I can play it with friends!

    Graphics 9/10 - On the Ps pro they are great. No doubt better on the One X. Either way a huge step up for a game of this size. Always can be better but some moments will take your breath away.

    Gameplay 8/10- Gunplay is really good. Its always a thrill when you get into a battle. Horse riding is pretty basic, I don't think you can innovate much here, but they do it well enough. General controls are good. Only real issue is picking stuff up in small areas. Lastly the game can be too easy. You can do the missions by staying in cover a lot and using deadeye. Its a shame as I think they should of made it much more challenging.

    Story 9/10 - For me the story is really interesting. A really good feel to it. The pace starts slowly and builds up consistently. I wont spoil anything but a solid story for sure.

    Overall 9/10- This is not a game to be rushed. I took everything at my own pace, taking in the world, exploring , stumbling into random side quests. Its not a game for people that just want action and no travelling as you will spend a lot of time on your horse. But if you have the patience you will find a beautiful world to explore. If any game is worth the £60 tag then its this.

    On top of that the game has the exact same problem that any Rockstar game have: police spawning out of nowhere despite the location or how stealthy you are.
    If you train to rob a train the middle of nowhere, the police will know in 5 seconds and spawn in 10 all around you in waves. Same thing with stores or banks or whatever.
    This kills the fun, especially in the end game: I finished the game and now I have nothing to do.
    This game isn't worth 60$ and you can't really be an "outlaw" or "bandit".
    You cannot rob places or trains or houses (because you can't even enter them) without the police spawning right next to you and putting a bounty of 100+$. The bandana does nothing to protect your identity neither (does not matter if you change clothes or hairstyle).
    This is a big empty world.

    Before I start my wording is going to be all over the place.
    Now lets get straight to the point. This is one of those wonders of a game that will stand the test of time. Pure gold. I have enjoyed many games in my life that have hooked me and been a great experience time after time and many of those being rockstar games. I don't love this game because it is rockstar I love this game because it is straight up the most detailed, well produced game I have ever played. Even when it come to the big giants like GTA V, Fallout 4 and any other massive open world game I have seen I have always been a notorious 'I can't be bothered for the missions' kind of player with a huge push needed to drive on through the game but even when I am hooked on exploring in RDR2 I always find my self drawn to the story and the side challenges also.

    I have never seen detail to such pin point precision. You can feel the emotions from the expressions and fresh, clean cut dialogue from every character and NPC, Every building is unique and doesn't have that re-used assets feel and the fact that every single person has something new to say blows me away to the amount of work rockstar put into this game.

    I see some of those raving on about complex mechanics or things not making sense but no one said the game was going to be easy. The law can seem biased at times but its engaging you get in a fight and flee, the law is rational to your offense so things like being wanted for a fight are easy to evade and I have seen first hand that the others involved are chased by the law too so don't feel bitter about it and yes if you kill someone and someone see's it, its hard to stop the law getting involved. What else would I expect?

    The shops, the stables, the map functions, the stats, the sheer level of immersion this game gives you is more than I could have ever expected. The fact that you can't take as much if you are hungry, tiered or wearing snow-clothes in the hot sun all make it feel more and more real by the second and if you don't believe how detailed this is make Arthur starve and not sleep and see the expression and posture he starts to show. It made me feel worn out just looking at him.

    There's so much in RDR2 I don't feel I could cover it all in a review.

    Its worth the money, Its the best game I've ever enjoyed from the start and anyone who is upset about it being more complex than red dead one may need to consider that red dead was stunning but limited by the 360's and the PS3s capabilities and now we can really feel what it was like for John and the Vanderlind gang like you where there. I can not fault rockstar one bit on this one.

    A massive moment in gaming history.

    Almost 9 years of hard work has paid off for Rockstar Games. This is easily the best open world game ever made. Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't just match the original, it far exceeds it.

    I was excited when I picked this game up brand new for only (AUD)$64.. my excitement was short lived however as after dozens of hours invested, I feel.. disheartened by the whole experience.

    The story line and characters are easily forgettable and carry no emotional weigh whatsoever.. I honest don't care about any of the character in game, not a single one.

    The constant glitches and bugs are at best laughable from a game that seems to take pride in realism.

    Although of all theses problems by far the worst critic on the game itself is definitely the button mapping which clearly was designed only to frustrate players.. it's really a shame that this is the best they could come up with..

    The graphics and environment in game is sub-par to be honest especially when games like Horizon Zero Dawn look just as good despite being launch almost 10 months earlier.

    I'm simply don't understand the high 90's scores this game is a serious let down.. I find it a chore now just to do simple main story quests in the game.

    All that being said it's a sold 4/10 for my $0.02

    RDR2 is a nice change of pace from the traditional open world games that rush you from one mission to another. It's deliberate, it's methodical, and it takes its time. Which unfortunately means that if you're looking for a game that will delivers action bit after action bit, this won't be what you're looking for.

If however you're looking to immerse yourself in the Wild West, you're set.
    The graphics look gorgeous on a PS4, I can only imagine how amazing they must look on a Pro,
    The gunplay is solid. Nothing too revolutionary, more or less the standard affair you'd a expect from a Rockstar game, but solid nonetheless.
    The mechanics are on a whole other level. The only game I can think of which featured mechanics of a comparable complexity is Kingdom Come: Deliverance. This feeds to my initial point of this game being a slow-paced and deliberate experience. Myriads of factors are at play, and you have to keep an eye on all of them. From eating, to keeping your horse and equipment clean. So again, if you prefer games with a faster pace, the mechanics could at times appear to be tedious. If on the other hand you're looking to be as immersed as possible, these mechanics will definately facilitate that.
    The voice acting and sound design is superb. The voice actors should receive their weight in gold for the performances they've given.
    If you liked the story of Red Dead Redemption, you're going to love this one. In a somewhat uncharacteristic direction for Rockstar, it actually takes itself seriously, which allows the creativenes of the writers to really shine, as it doesn't get undercut by the usual sarcasm you'd see in titles like GTA V.

    tl;dr
    If you like the idea of being immersed in an authentic and vibrant wolrd while following the engrosing tale of a wild west outlaw, definatelly buy this. It'll fulfill your expectations ten times over.
    If you want to just have shootouts while dressed up as a cowboy and don't care about the story or the world surrounding you, there's a chance you'll get bored.

    P.S. You can safely ignore like 80% of all negative reviews, Most of them are clearly from people who don't have a console and are pissed off at Rockstar for not releasing this on PC, so they clearly didn't even play it. (seriously there even is a guy who claims to have played it on a laptop and gave

    I usually don't buy into the hype surrounding large releases and this game was no different. I bought it off of the strength of the first game and how much I liked the story. Here is my brutally honest take on the game. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a gorgeous looking cinematic disguised as a video game. It seems like the folks at Rockstar put a lot of time into trying to make this gameI usually don't buy into the hype surrounding large releases and this game was no different. I bought it off of the strength of the first game and how much I liked the story. Here is my brutally honest take on the game. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a gorgeous looking cinematic disguised as a video game. It seems like the folks at Rockstar put a lot of time into trying to make this game movie-like instead of focusing on gameplay. I'll focus on what I think the main points of the game are here:

    STORY:
    We all loved playing former gang member turned bounty hunter, John Marston, in the first game. That alone helped all of us want to play this prequel. This game focuses on an entirely new character named Arthur Morgan within the Van der Linde gang. The cinematic quality of the story is pleasing and there is more character development this time around. However, I never really found a connection with Arthur like I did with John. John's story was straightforward with a hint of mystery which made it very thrilling to play. Arthur's story seems quite the opposite. Not as thrilling a character to play as.

    DESIGN
    I must say, one of the overwhelming positives of this game has to be the breathtaking graphics. It is a stunning upgrade over the previous entry. I've been playing it on my 75Inch HDR 4K TV on my PS4 Pro and I have to say it is nothing short of beautiful. Riding through the country side watching day turn into night, lifelike animals and sounds were all stunning to behold. Cutscenes play out like a Quentin Tarantino movie. Nothing bad to say here

    GAMEPLAY
    Here is where my main issue lies. The gameplay of RDR2 is not bad but not great either. You'll spend most of your time doing mundane tasks like shaving, sleeping, eating, grooming your horse, etc... While these aspects of the game add a realistic quality to the gameplay, they can be quite tedious and ultimately boring. They seem to slow down the gameplay and fun factor. Also, the gameplay mechanics could be better. Aiming is a real pain and horses aren't very fast. The amount of time it takes to get from one place to another on horseback is ridiculous. It's almost as if the developers wanted people to be forced to enjoy the scenic route from one objective to another. Even though you are able to be a murderous and thieving outlaw, it seems like the game punishes that behavior. You'll be hunted by bounty hunters and not able to step foot in town without being swarmed by lawmen. Not to mention the only way to remove your notoriety is to pay off your bounty which is hard considering money isn't easy to come by.

    SUMMARY
    RDR2 is a good game with some noticeable flaws. I don't regret buying the game at all and found some aspects of it enjoyable. However, I wouldn't call it game of the year. I think God of War or Spiderman are far superior in every aspect.

    The main problem is, that it's not a real open world game. If you focus on the main story, like many reviewers and some users do, you will experience a linear and scripted game with almost no freedom. Every time you try something different the missions will fail.

    The separate and real open world part is done quite well, but it doesn't have enough interesting and coherent/interlocking elements to keep you motivated very long. If you remove the linear story and high production value, it's the usual open world stuff, we've known for years, mixed with light survival elements.

    So what you will get is an average to good open world sandbox for maybe 15-20 hours of random fun and a separate, very scripted and cinematic game with high production value. Both parts have average gameplay and problematic controls. The only highlights and reasons to play the game are its great graphics, atmosphere and story.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is arguably the best video game this generation. It raises the video game medium to new heights. The graphics are better than any other video game thus far and constantly impresses every moment of the game. The draw distance is incredible and never falters with any pop in textures. It's also amazing that there is never any loading when entering new areas. TheRed Dead Redemption 2 is arguably the best video game this generation. It raises the video game medium to new heights. The graphics are better than any other video game thus far and constantly impresses every moment of the game. The draw distance is incredible and never falters with any pop in textures. It's also amazing that there is never any loading when entering new areas. The attention to detail is staggering and mind blowing. The immersion is incredible and is one of the best representations of the time period in comparison to any other medium. The game is so realistic and historically accurate that it doesn't feel like a typical video game. It feels more like a digital recreation of the time period. The voice acting, written dialogue, sound effects, and music are all top notch and amazing with surround sound. There is a very impressive amount of gameplay systems and they are all very well thought out and work seamlessly together. The controls are also excellent once you get used to them. The gameplay is the standard Rockstar games gameplay and nothing revolutionary but because the gameplay is so tied into helping you feel immersed into the game, it still feels satisfying. The game is packed so full of content, it's mind blowing. The only major con about the game is that it has a really slow start and in general the pace is very slow. It's very relaxing to play and you can lose hours into the game, but for others who want something more action packed within the minute to minute gameplay, it could get boring. It's also a very long game, so there is a significant amount of investing, one has to do to get the full experience. You definitely get your money's worth though with this game. I'm glad to see more realistic and mature games like this one in the video game industry and hope that it can bring in more similar experiences and also help the hobby be taken more seriously as an art form the way movies and books are seen.

    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.
