    Most detailed game I have ever seen. 8 years worth of quality packed into a ridiculous install package. I think this game has been a nonstop rollercoaster of cowboy hijinx. The Lenny bar scene was the best. I feel sorry for PC owners but believe the should not leave any reviews unless the game is released for that system.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is the first open world game in which i feel that the world actually is alive and the space is actually put to use instead of just being there.
    I've been absolutely blown away by the attention to detail and been loving the story of this game.
    The only thing i'm not a big fan of is the gun play its very clunky

    Is this a Rockstar game? Where's the fun? Where's the humour?

    The game doesn't want you to have fun. You have to do what the game wants you to do how the game wants you to do it, which usually involves chasing after someone and tying them up or shooting them before they run away otherwise you are punished with game over and long boring re-load screen.

    So much busy work. Everything feels like a chore.

    Mediocre graphics, good but very underwhelming.

    Anything good? Big open game world to explore with lots of detail and things to see and do but the game is ruined by focusing on dull simulation instead of fun gameplay.    … Expand

You have the option to skip cut scenes, but that isn't an instant skip, it's a few seconds if a black loading screen that is almost as long as what you are skipping. There is no skill involved either, you press auto-aim then fire in combat, that's it- often I had something blocking the way too, between my gun and the enemy, forcing me to move from cover. I was too bored to be in any way immersed in the story, didn't catch my attention at all.

    All in all, a mind numbing experience beginning with a very slow 2 hour intro/tutorial- (I was already thinking I could never replay it at that point).

    I can see why some people find it dull, and the controls are undoubtably a battle. But for all that it's caught me.

    Some of you might wonder why the Critics Score is so high in comparison to User Score. You simply have to invest more playing time than the average critic. 20% into the game you hit a bit of a wall, you begin to no longer enjoy the game on the same level as you did in the beginning and all the beautiful landscapes won't save it. Don't get me wrong RDR2 is a beautiful immerse game but as ISome of you might wonder why the Critics Score is so high in comparison to User Score. You simply have to invest more playing time than the average critic. 20% into the game you hit a bit of a wall, you begin to no longer enjoy the game on the same level as you did in the beginning and all the beautiful landscapes won't save it. Don't get me wrong RDR2 is a beautiful immerse game but as I got older I realized that I needed more content and less tedious mundane tasks that I do from 9-5. It needed to be more than just ride one direction and back to complete a mission.

    So, let's get into the review part.

    Story:
    Last time around I felt more invested in the story. I feel like with every Rockstar game you really care and feel for the characters even though the characters are protagonists with the life of crime. Arthur isn't really a cool character he's just there and whoever you put in his place would be fine. I don't get a sense of his personality to the world. Honestly, if this was GTA 3 and the character didn't talk I would've felt the same way. With all the other characters, every time you do a mission you're like who theis this guy that's giving me this mission, oh okay some random member of the gang. Great... You're not hooked on being that guy or another.

    Mission gameplay:
    The world is big like really big... like I ride for 15 mins kill someone then realize... I have to ride back now... 30 mins spent on just riding. Shooting is clunky and majority of the time is spent using Dead Eye to kill people. The first person then becomes a bit unplayable. The realistic part is there, you definitely can't just walk towards enemies and kill everyone without hiding. On PC, I think the shooting would've been a bit better, but we shall see when it's released.

    Overall experience:
    The game is filled with stuff to do but it feels empty... idk maybe I'm just outgrowing single player campaign games. I'm like 20% into it but I decided to play Wow instead after a while.    … Expand

    Completely oversold by "professional reviewers". Game would not be great even 5 years ago, let alone today. Gameplay is 10 years behind current games while story is boring and uninspired. And 60+ hours gameplay number comes from being forced to travel for 80% of the time.

    I'm well into Chapter 3 as I type this and the more I play the more I realize this game isn't a 9 or 10 game. I'm not even sure it's an 8, even though that's where I'm going to round my score to; I'd give it a 7.5 if I could do half scores.

I'm not even sure it's an 8, even though that's where I'm going to round my score to; I'd give it a 7.5 if I could do half scores.

    Pros:
    + Beautiful open world
    + Engaging story, though the protagonist is extremely dense
    + Open world elements present to the player organically rather than as a checklist of things to collect/do.

    Cons:
    - Minutia bogs down every aspect of the game.
    - Gunplay is horrid, significantly worse than the first.
    - Wildly inconsistent crime system.

    The pros speak for themselves, but I must elaborate on the cons. From the very onset of the game, it's made clear that you will be spending a large amount of your playtime managing the minutia of gameplay systems. Wear the appropriate clothing so you're not too hot or cold, or you'll lose stamina. Brush your horse or your horse loses stamina. Eat regularly or you'll lose health and stamina, but don't eat too much or you'll become overweight and have less stamina. Hunt for the camp, pay money for the camp, upgrade the camp (no one else does). Shave and bathe or the townsfolk won't interact with you positively. Clean your guns or they'll lose stats and eventually jam. Make sure you hunt silently and stay downwind so your scent doesn't startle your prey (or use scent masker).

    These systems start out enjoyable but devolve into complete tedium within a few hours -- and they NEVER let up. The quality of the story telling is bogged down entirely by the constant need to play Camping and Outlaw Simulator 1899.

    Also one of the most frustrating elements of the game is the crime system and how inconsistent it is. A couple examples: At one point I forgot to stow my Lancaster Repeater on my saddlebags and accidentially walked into the town of Strawberry holding it. A townsfolk decided I was disturbing the peace by doing so and ran to tell the Sheriff. I thought nothing of it, concluded my business, and left town. Moments later, I had a $10 bounty on my head and lawmen closing in on every side, shooting at me indiscriminantly, all for a disturbing the peace charge. Riding down the road in the second chapter, an O'Driscall man opened fire on me as I passed by and knocked my horse out from under me. I killed him in self defense and hid the body in the woods. A few moments later, after I'm LONG gone from the area, I get a notification that a crime has been reported and I'm wanted for murder with a $40 bounty. Despite no one having seen me there beyond the guy I shot dead.

    These incidents happen frequently. Defending yourself in fist fights or gun fights often ends up with YOU being the target of law. Even if you have high honor and no other bounties on your head. Then sometimes you can get into a fistfight in the middle of town, beat a guy to death, and get no repurcussions at all.

    Rockstar has always been hit-or-miss with their gunplay mechanics and when they initially released the first RDR in 2010 I was scared it would be a miss. Pleasantly the gun play in that game was top notch, better than most other Rockstar games. The same cannot be said for RDR2. The gun mechanics are back to the same old GTA5, sluggish, awful, design that leans heavily on aim assist to be useful. Even Dead Eye is a shell of its former self. I find myself avoiding gunfights entirely because the gunplay is so underwhelming and unrewarding.

    Unlike the first game, I'm not finding myself wanting to complete every challenge, or find every herb, or upgrade every item. The minutia has had an opposite effect on my play. I have one maxed horse and I couldn't give a damn about any others. I'm not busting my ass to buy item upgrades and I'm no longer bothering with camp chores because I'm only going back to camp when I have to launch story missions. It's easier to stay in a hotel or camp out anyway. The first RDR is a game I happily platinumed; RDR2 is a game I'll probably play once and never play again.    … Expand

    Don't pay attention to critics who say the controls are clunky and minor details are a chore - controls take time to get used to, but once figured out they become intuitive whereby basic actions like drinking coffee, loading your horse saddle with items, drawing from your saddle when dismounting etc. becomes all second nature to your control of Arthur.

    The atmosphere achieved in this game, made possible by the graphics engine, voice acting, musical score, and sheer level of detail in the open world is unlike anything I have seen before.

    It might be boring for some who want an action based game, but for those who want a deep, atmospheric experience, and who can allow themselves to be patient in learning and reading up the basics will be highly rewarded.

    If you give it a go play with the mobile/tablet app alongside - put the map on this whilst turning on only the compass ingame - creates an even better experience imo.    … Expand

    Where to start. RDR2 has some amazing things in it, but it is not a good game beacouse of it. While some things are amazing, others are among the worst i've seen ever in any game, genre or system.

    The good: The world is amazing, I spent several hours just riding around, hunting, chatting with strangers and helping out people i met on the road. The story's good, not great, but    Where to start. RDR2 has some amazing things in it, but it is not a good game beacouse of it.

    The good:
    The world is amazing, I spent several hours just riding around, hunting, chatting with strangers and helping out people i met on the road.
    The story's good, not great, but serviceable, as are the characters.
    Voice acting is impressive, but the random conversations you can strike up with anyone still sound weird, very much like how oblivions conversations between NPCs would sound.

    The Bad: Controls are a mess, always have been in Rockstars games, appart from, for some reason, RDR1.
    It's buggy, Several times i've been unable to continue on in a mission, being forced to throw a dynamite at my feet to reset it.
    QTEs somehow made its way into the game, and it's worse than ever before, being that you don't even get told what button to press, nor does it make sense for the action you do with it. My most remembered case was a woman charging me with a knife while i was trying to lasso her. Instant kill. I reload and do it again, this time pressing block when she attacks. Instant kill. Last time, i got pissed off and tried to punch her in her face, and my character sidestepped her, tripping and disarming her. Bad design.

    The UGLY:
    The bounty system is the worst i've ever seen in a game. The idea is cool, and when it works, it's amazing. You do a crime, someone sees you and they report you to the law, you can stop them by either threatening or killing them. Sounds good, right? Problem is, say you kill a guy on a road, you leave and someone stumbles onto the corpse. he then tells the law that he found a body and you INSTANTLY get a bounty on you. Despite being long gone when anyone showed up, despite never been seen there. Another example, you try to rob a train, you go there, start taking out the guards, having stopped the train in the middle of noware. Suddenly, there's lawmen there, having had the "Crime reported" as the games calls it. You get a bounty, roughly 200-300 dollars, for earning maybe 80. Here comes the worst part though. The only way to get ridd of a bounty is for you to pay it off. So, you rob a train, you get 200 dollars bounty and 80 dollars of loot, that's a loss of 120 dollars. It doesn't make sense. Even worse, is that if you have a bounty, you get lawmen or bounty hunters looking for you. If they kill you, they take some of your money (seems to be around 10%), you wake up.... and you still have the bounty. Say that you kill the lawmen or hunters? Well, your bounty goes up for each you kill, even if you kill every single one, so no one can report it back to them. As i said, the bounty system is the worst ever made. Fix that, and i'll raise my score to close to an 8    … Expand

The shooting mechanic is great and feels weighted having to cock your gun before you pull the trigger adds a new challenge to combat. This game has been 8 years in the making and it has been well worth the wait, i think Rockstar have topped the bar yet again with Red Dead redemption 2 and set the standard of what an open world game and what a triple A title in general should be.

If you never played RDR1 but have hundreds of hours in GTA V, you might see some aspects of the gameplay here as comparatively negative.

    RDR2 was designed to be a slow burn game. I've been reading that statement a lot before and since first playing but it really is true. The authenticity to the era is unwavering. Travel by horse is often required and is often very long. There is no radio to listen to along the way. Even the fastest horses still feel slow compared to most vehicles in GTA V. But that is the point. The game wants you to savor the moment, breath things in and perhaps contemplate a little more than you would in other games. Even on foot, exploring the world is deliberately paced. I would go so far as to call the controls sluggish at points. Arthur moves with a certain weightiness in the world that makes things feel very grounded, almost a little too much for a videogame. There are specific and realistic animations for just about every single action Arthur does, from grabbing a can of coffee off a shelf, to roasting meat over a fire, to looting bodies, to cocking his revolver before each shot. There's no way to skip these things, no real shortcuts to watching his actions play out. At times things can seem like a slog, but that is commitment to the feel R* was going for.

    For some perspective, I'm still in the 2nd chapter and have done several side missions and random encounters. I've probably got 15 hours with the game and even that still feels like scratching the surface. I know there are many things I've yet to encounter based on all the hype and previews leading up to release, but I know there are many unknown features also. That is exciting.

    Obviously the game is stunning looking. I'm just playing on my regular PS4 on a Panasonic plasma from 2013, but it still blows me away. I would love to play on upgraded gear, but honestly that won't affect most people's enjoyment level with the game as the core experience is the same across all platforms. The audio is very dynamic and impactful. Voice acting is superb.

    The story is grounded and exciting so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out. Til I finish it I can't say too much about it really, other than the cast of characters is top notch.

    The menu system is a bit convoluted, but I've come to the conclusion that no modern game is going to have an excellent menu system that can manage everything flawlessly. It works, could be better though. The map is really a sore spot for me. It's slow and the icons are too small and almost all look the same. You have to zoom way in or out and it's cumbersome at best. Using the map on the companion app on my tablet has been a big help in that regard. It's pretty cool because it updates in real time based on the actual game map and you can set waypoints more quickly. I recommend using it just for that if nothing else.

    Gunplay and other activities are solid and there are many options for tweaking how easy or challenging you want the aiming, HUD and various other gameplay aspects to be. The physics are sometimes hilarious, but most of the time extremely realistic, especially when you upgrade your horse bonding and can start pulling off the GTA equivalent of drifting and handbrake maneuvers.

    It's very easy to get overwhelmed in a game of this size and scope. Sometimes I have to remind myself of what I was originally trying to accomplish, before I got sidetracked by any number of sights and sounds along my route or an even greater number of RPG style mechanics. Many things can be outright ignored, but more often than not it feels counter intuitive to do that. That is a credit to the world R* has created. RDR2 begs you to explore just a little longer and a little farther each time you jump back in.

    No game of this scope is ever going to be ''perfect'' and objectively there are some issues here, but taken as a whole this is still a landmark game in my opinion and will be a front runner along w/ God of War for 2018's GOTY.    … Expand

There are plenty of hours you can spend just doing little things that have nothing to do with the main story and I think that is where the beauty lies in this game. I am excited to see what they bring to multiplayer next month and even it is underwhelming I will be glad to have payed for a great single player game.

Also, I've seen reviews complaining about the gunplay, especially due to the fact that you have to manually run around when in gunfights, manually reload at the same time. Though I do agree that it may not be fanciful to everybody that played it. For me I think it felt purposeful for the type of game it is trying to be. It's mainly due to the fact that each weapon has almost an entirely different feel. There's a certain weight to the combat and shooting due to this that other games have not yet explored. This type of gunplay has not been done before in any game, so I wouldn't blame people for disliking the slow paced, cinematic style Rockstar was aiming for. It does need time to get used to it, it's probably due to common gameplay expectations to come with these sorts of shooting games. It's not a secret Rockstar is a company of experimentation and innovations, it's also clear that their intention was to reinvent 3rd person shooting with a more grounded style of gameplay requiring precise movements and strategy that blends in with their animations. It's more than meets the eye and I just can't help but wonder how many look past all this. Knowing Rockstar as the richest gaming developer in our modern world with 8 years on this game, you would think that there would be a reason behind the gameplay mechanics and decisions in the final outcome. Sad to see that this is underappreciated because of how casual many games have been that fixed our expectations on good shooting mechanics.

    I have yet to finish the story and this was my overall experience with the game so far. Basically Rockstar nailed what they set out to do with this game in terms of immersion, however the disappointing factor for me was that of the NPC interactions, which wasn't as I had imagined originally when showcased in their gameplay trailer.

    This game has not met the criteria for next gen gaming, but what it achieves here has definitely not been done before either.    … Expand

This to me is a seminal moment for games going forward and I've been playing games for 20+ years. Graphically it's on par in places with Uncharted 4 and God of War and that's staggering considering this is an open world game. The attention to detail and realism is unmatched and the Wild West backdrop is truly a marvel to behold. This is a game you can truly immerse yourself in, live and breath within it. And the slower movement, heavy shooting, grounded realism, which does take a few hrs to get used to, helps completely to suck you in. Animation also is probably the best I've seen thus far, especially for horse traversal. My only niggle is the controls are a little clunky especially in tight spaces, but other than that RDR2 is a masterpiece.

    Don't take ANY NOTICE of the negative reviews on here. I honestly think I must be playing a different game to those who have written some of the low scores.

    To anyone at R* who may read this I want to thank all of you for having the courage yet again to go against the grain of the industry and for delivering something truly innovative, that moves games as a whole forward. Not just open world games, but every game from major developers full stop should be compared to this level of quality. This is a landmark title, this is the GTA3 of the PS4 era, released in a sea of rinse and repeat games which have flooded this generation of consoles.

If you wanted to get anywhere in 1899 you take a horse or train. If you want to drive a fast car you buy GTA. It is a double edged sword, on one hand you want to get places quickly but on the other hand you want to have a large open world.

    I will admit that the controls feel clunky at times and there are a few minor issues with the bounties. (I jumped off my horse and bumped into a sheriff accidentally which erupted into a firefight) but even considering that it still doesn't detract from a rating of 10/10

    Due to the hype people expected way too much from this game, for that reason I deliberately didn't read any reviews or watch any trailers or videos before playing and I can say it lives up to the hype. This is all before the multiplayer has been released too, which will undoubtedly add another huge aspect to this masterpiece.    … Expand

    Open-World
    Simply the best experience ever: beautiful, living, immense, trees, animals, atmosphere, environment, weather, world object proportion, everything is perfect!
    The key word here is "Exploration": you have to explore to find objects, treasures, locations, random events, camp etc.

    Character/Horse/Weapons
    A lot of customization, it is good for the online mode later.
    Too much unnecessary stats (weight, food/drinks), different bars (health, energy..) with a secondary bar under it! Too complicated, at the end I eat the same thing every time and don't think to use drinks because it is too much. A single bar for the 3 stats which refills with time would be easier and perfect (and drink to have an extended bonus)

    Camp
    Your buddies are kids, incapable to eat for themselves. Why I would stay in a band like that?
    Every time after a mission, you have to do chores, feed your band...

    UI/UX
    Bad. Really bad.
    - I took the train. and.. oh my horse is too far, I lost it, and with all my weapons on it. I have to go back and waste 30min. Later you can unlock the feature to retrieve your horse at your camp...
    - Fast travel: you can unlock it after (why?! is a base feature) and you have to chose the destination on a list! it doesn't show the map!
    - Item management/inventory. Worst ever. The game keeps telling me I don't have enough places to get all the loot on animals. I try to clean but I don't know which parts I have to empty, or is this separate container?
    Same for materials: Can not see the list of skins I need. And different NPC needs different skins. So every time you have to talks to the NPC to see the list and remember who needs what. You can't have a tracker on the screen to know what you want get.
    Pad is for changing the camera! No. Pad is for map. I never change the camera, or wants a "cinematic" mode, I want fast access to the map.
    A lot more...
    - NPC reactions if you hurt him by accident with these bad controls.

    Missions/Story
    Simply boring.
    Each missions are: Go to point B from A. Ride and listen to the dialogue (80%). Do an action/fighting (20%). Listen to dialogue. End.
    Too much dialogues, slow riding phases.

    This game is more a slow-real cowboy Role-Play game than an action game.    … Expand

The world and the variety of activities you can do is vast and beautifully executed, and the storyline quests are interesting and satisfying. Unfortunately the game does require you to complete activities as the gang and working with NPC's can be a chore, this is where the original game is marginally superior in that it was a solo adventure. The framerate also suffers a hitch here and there but does not detract from the overall experience. The characters in the game are memorable and there are some nice links to the original game in this one (being a prequel) for example you can visit the original Blackwater, Armadillo and Thieves Landing which is quite nostalgic and well remastered. If you enjoy exploration and collectables there are many interesting hidden items and a complete compendium of animals, fauna, weapons, gangs etc. to reveal and study. It is easy to be carried away simply looking for some of these items to discover what perks (if any) they unlock. The controls are complicated to get to grips with, and can lead to some frustrating deaths in the heat of a shootout. Some of the games mechanics can also seem complex, such as the inventory management which is not terribly well explained. Overall this game is a gorgeous and worthy successor to the original game, and will provide many hours of your life lost to simple distractions and side missions. Great job yet again Rockstar.… Expand

    Honestly it is a bit sad seeing other players giving it 0 just because of wrong expectations. I think it is a bit disrespectful to the very had work of Rockstar games and the amazing results they produced. Even if the game is not your type, for me personally giving it 0 means 0 appreciation for art (many kinds of art in this game). Objectively, it can't be true that it hasn't a single good thing.

    With that said:

    It is a gorgeous game, a masterpiece. By far the most beautiful open world I have seen in a game. It has deep mechanics consistently throughout the world. Expect to do long horse rides (some find this boring) through the map and encounter unexpected events as you go. Explore surprisingly beautiful landscapes as you travel. Get to learn the characters of your gang and not only theirs. Listen and participate in great stories while you are on the run from the law. In this game it is up to you how much action it has. After all it is an RPG. You decide which role to play.

    To give you an example, one of may favourite things in the game is the memory that the NPCs have. You encounter someone in the wilderness e.g. you save the person from a bad situation and after many hours of playing you visit again the town near this incident. Chances are that you will meet this person and if you listen carefully he will call you and remember you being grateful for the help you gave. This feeling is amazing and makes the world feel so real an immersive.
    Since the game gives you so many things to do, there are a lot of different controls to remember. This can and probably will be a bit overwhelming and you will need a day to get used to. Given the many options though, in my opinion the have done a good job with the controls.

    I can't see this getting game of the year but personally I applaud the developers for trying to do something different. Instead of just remaking the first game they created something more challenging and in my opinion, very engaging. I think a lengthy single player campaign with a great story (so far from what i've played) with varied mission types and no microtransactions (in the single player) deserves a bit more praise.
    Sure there are flaws, the wanted system seems a bit broken and visually it's not going to win any awards, the start is slow and sometimes you're asked to ride long distances but personally those feel like small gripes in the grand scheme of things. I can see myself spending a lot of time with this and hope some people here will give it another shot and up their review score.    … Expand

Well, and still such a trifle - when you drink coffee by the fire, then the mug is immediately removed, although you can drink another one.
    In general, the game is just incredible. I want to live in it. The phenomenal work, Rockstar. Bravo!!! I am a big fan of your creativity. Your games are my favorite. And RDR2 once again strengthened my love for you. You again met all my high expectations. Thanks!

    I'll explain.
    Net of superlative graphics, the game presents approaches that clash and screech each other in a paradoxical way. You make me a slow game, perhaps cumbersome, full of tricks from a real simulation that requires a certain dedication? There wallowing. Every evening I camp,    I'm about 20-25 hours and while adoring the packaging I find it difficult to appreciate its contents.

    Net of superlative graphics, the game presents approaches that clash and screech each other in a paradoxical way.
    You make me a slow game, perhaps cumbersome, full of tricks from a real simulation that requires a certain dedication? There wallowing.
    Every evening I camp, I prepare food, packs projectiles, I wash constantly and I take care of the horse as if it were my son.
    But why do I immerse myself in this magnificent philosophy in a skeleton that in disguise is still an arcade? Why propose a world so vast without any plant really from gdr?
    The dead eye takes away all fun in the long run and the assisted aim is even worse. Can I take it off? sure, if to aim was not an agony. Is it an agony because the PG is a beginner? Then I would stay there, but this would mean that the pg evolves into experience and maybe at the level x is released dead eye and aim assist.
    Can you make me a sketchy temperature / clothing system? I adore. But then let it be an accessory of a real looting, in which I buy clothes that give me adrenaline stats, vitality, strength, etc. Is not it credible with the world?
    Why help a comrade out of prison by killing a whole town and then pay a fee and go back there is a smile? No, and for charity it should not be, it's a video game.
    Then the world.
    Cross and delight.
    Never seen anything so beautiful. Never seen greater missed opportunity.
    The one mission philosophy for time is absurd for this scaffolding and, even if we want to follow a strong narrative choice in which it is a story, what I have to live, not a narrative of mine, is standing in a bad state.
    Already experienced many experiences in which the mission x that could be between point A and B of a principal (solitary or non-hyper narrative) can not be triggered because I have to do the mission chosen at the time and only that.
    Examples? I collect debts and I remember that on the path between one and the other there was a bounty. Can I do it to break and give better rhythm? No. On the contrary if I pass the npc that I will magically find there are not and will only spawn at completed debts mission.
    Or. I'm going to do a robbery to a diligence and in the path known an NPC asking for help. I approach. I can not interact. Is it more consistent with the fact that the mission is being carried out? Maybe. Is it fun / fulfilling? No.
    I was playing today again at TW3 for example. I'm carrying out a mission and in useful points the NPC in front of me always asked me the choice "do you want to continue or come back later?". Or anyway I could leave the npc halfway also starting the following step and going to hunt a monster and then come back wanting. Those to the cd projekt are naive that do not think of certain dynamics? No, on the contrary it is just thinking about the fun of the player who made the game flexible. At Rockstar they made a game for pure onanism, emphasizing choices of gameplay because "integrity" when they had to stand with their feet on the ground and think that the gamer must also have fun.
    And be clear, sometimes with rdr2 I enjoy it. But at times.
    I eat my hands every single time open the map for example. I open and I see an exterminated and beautiful thing with ... one, maximum two, three counters. Why? What is it really for? Eight years and I do not have an Indian faction to do separate missions, or a corrupt police faction or anything else to keep a varied rhythm? The old and buggy Skyrim had stupendous wizards, thieves, murderers line quest and the thing kept him more alive than ever. Now sure, I do not say to deliriously losing the compass of the main story but for God it's all a voyage of beautiful fractured horseshoes. And furthermore, where to sell an item I have a receiver far from the other. Do you use trains, stagecoaches or fast travels? All right, but then we're admitting the damage.
    And the few missions?
    Two random.
    Secondary. Bounty hunt.
    Ride 10 minutes to Strawberry. A casual encounter of a woman in search of archaeological finds. Nothing special. I arrive and take the poster. Another 7 minutes on horseback. Dude in a cave. Shoot ralenty to disarm it. End of mission. Time of action. 40 seconds. Maybe.
    Primary. Robbery at home.
    10 minutes on horseback. Arrival and companion that suggests me diversion him and I sneak. Shooting in any case after 5 seconds. Killed everyone in just 2 minutes. End.
    A mission in an open world AAA almost in 2019 can not be reduced to a single action. It is unacceptable.
    Else. Last but I would have to myriads to mention. The wanted system . A disaster.
    Ah, last but not least. R2 interaction? Option speaks, phrases of circumstance. Offensive option, shooting. Wow. The only thing worth noting is the great work in making 6000 different answers. Same on animations.

Like 8 to 10 hours long before I felt like I knew what I was doing and the systems made sense to me. The camera and controls somehow feel slow in today's world. This game has a lengthy and frankly boring tutorial, yet I still felt very bewildered in regards to controls and game mechanics for hours into the game. Did Rockstar intentionally make these things different just to be different or new?

    Nothing here feels intuitive to me, and I've been gaming for decades. I've played every big title in the recent memory, including the very biggest and most complicated titles, also dozens upon dozens of other games, and this one is throwing me off somehow. Somehow the menus feel weird and don't make sense. Figuring out how a game all fits together should not be this much of an obstacle.

    I don't know why, but for no good reason that I can discern, this game feels slightly alien to play.    … 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.
