    Usually, I never give art in any medium a perfect score. But Red Dead Redemption 2 is gaming at its finest, and is likely one of the strongest contenders against the idea that "video games are not art."

    From it's striking visuals of the barren wastelands of the west, to the vivid landscapes of the swampy south. Every moment in Red Dead is a picture and it's really easy to lose yourself
    Usually, I never give art in any medium a perfect score. But Red Dead Redemption 2 is gaming at its finest, and is likely one of the strongest contenders against the idea that "video games are not art."

    From it's striking visuals of the barren wastelands of the west, to the vivid landscapes of the swampy south. Every moment in Red Dead is a picture and it's really easy to lose yourself just looking at the scenery. While I won't call this a perfect game; no game is perfect. There's a lot to love.

    -- Story --

    As it should be known by now, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to RDR, where we follow protagonist Arthur Morgan during the downfall of Van der Linde Dutch's gang during America's transition into the industrial age. The setting itself provides the conflict, in that the outlaw -- the romantic ideal of a rough gunslinger ruling by the law of a gun -- is being snuffed out.

    I don't want to spoil the game, but I have to note that it is powerful. We know where the characters are and where they are going to go because of the previous game. That inevitability is a constant reminder to the player, and while you may know it, it haunts you. But what I really love about this game, is that as Arthur Morgan, you feel like you're fighting a unwinnable war to remain free. And it really doesn't matter if you win, you just want to be free.

    -- Characters --

    A lot of the older characters, characters like Dutch, Bill Williamson, and John Marston, are almost put second seat to the newest additions. We get to see a lot of the people that made up Dutch's 'infamous' gang. And these characters almost come to life. Rockstar did an amazing job breathing personality into them, and through the conversations they have with Arthur and the other people in the camp, you slowly get attached to them.

    But the character that steals the show is likely the protagonist, Arthur Morgan. There is a Don Draper- esque quality to this character. He is depressed and hyper-aware of his life. Cynical and caring. What matters to him more than his own life and even money itself, is his gang. He becomes such a sympathetic character because of what he wants, which is to remain with his family of outlaws.

    -- Gameplay --

    The gameplay is alright. It's okay. There's not much to write about it. You ride on a horse for most of the game. You shoot people, and sometimes use an ability to slow down time to line up your shots. This isn't anything new from Rockstar gaming. But that's okay. In frankness, the gameplay serves as a supplementary addition to let people immerse themselves in the gameplay. And if I were to be honest, it really does. I spent countless hours just hunting cougars, bears, deer, and other animals just because it was so easy to lose yourself.

    What I really love about the Red Dead series is that while you're not playing a voiceless protagonist like games like Skyrim, you can still really lose yourself and become a character from a hundred years past.

    -- Side Missions --

    The side missions are very near the Witcher 3 quality of story telling. While I won't lie and say they are pulitzer prize winning short-stories, which they aren't. They are incredibly entertaining to the point where you actively purse them and not like in other games where they are pointless fetch quests.

    For example, there's one quest where you find beheaded and decorated bodies all across the map. You have to find multiple pieces of clues to pinpoint the serial-killer and eventually turn him into justice. Rockstar took their time putting some variety and quality in these stranger missions.

    -- Visuals --

    The visuals are good. The details are amazing. As an avid PC gamer, I am hard pressed to find something that matches the quality of this open world game. My only fault is the limitation of the hardware, which forces the game to remain at 30 FPS. But then again, if this were on PC, it likely be difficult to get it to 60 fps without lowering some settings.

    -- Conclusion --

    The game is good. And I wrote too much. If you like the old west and losing yourself in an epic story then pick up a copy and have a blast.

    2. Arthur IS fast! You need to NOT SPAM FOOD. They make a point of explaining this pretty early in the game, so anyone saying he's slow, probably didn't play past 5 hours.

    3. FPS does NOT drop below 30. That's insane, and a blatant lie.

    4. Empty World? There's animal attacks, weather, random events, and NPC's out the ying yang. I have not felt alone in this entire game.

    5. Someone said you can't enter all the houses? Another Liar. Every building can be entered, and even robbed.

    6. Realistic features that are complained about, AREN'T required. You can always just buy food, fast travel, and use Legendary Animal trinkets. If you enjoy earning it, you'll have LOTS to do. "oh ma gerd, I can't wear a t shirt in snow"

    First, I’d like to admit and embrace that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not for everyone, the game takes itself very seriously and moves at an incredibly slow pace (to it’s advantage). The story is over 60 hours long and incredibly daunting at first, as is the massive, sprawling open world this game offers after its 2-3 hour snow-filled prologue.

    First, I’d like to admit and embrace that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not for everyone, the game takes itself very seriously and moves at an incredibly slow pace (to it’s advantage). The story is over 60 hours long and incredibly daunting at first, as is the massive, sprawling open world this game offers after its 2-3 hour snow-filled prologue.

    (No Spoilers) I’ll begin by sharing my thoughts on the story:

    Red Dead Redemption 2 begins in 1899, The Grizzlies, a snowy mountain range at the very top of the in-game world. After a botched robbery attempt, the “Van Der Linde” gang led by Dutch Van Der Linde and his “Lead Enforcer” and Player Character, Arthur Morgan, have fled into The Grizzlies to escape the law. You are released from The Grizzlies after 2-3 hours of slow paced, atmospheric linear gameplay and unleashed into the ginormous open world of Red Dead Redemption 2 as you and your gang move their camp down to horseshoe overlook, the first real camp location.

    The story mainly revolves around the end of the “Wild West” and the beginning of the “Industrial Revolution”, more specifically Dutch and his gang’s downfall, even more specifically Dutch’s descent into madness himself and Arthur’s gruelling journey to find his place in the world, find out who he is and where he belongs. It is a brutal and realistic tale full of twists, turns, surprises and sadness as you witness the inevitable fall of the gang. The storytelling is slow but effective, the voice work is unimaginably convincing, the cutscenes are beautifully animated and the exploration and mission quality is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before, missions are unique and gameplay is extremely varied throughout the campaign, you’ll go from shovelling manure, building a fence or chopping wood to robbing banks, hijacking trains or an intense firefight in a burning building as it collapses in on you. Full of variety.

    Secondly I’d like to briefly cover the side missions and random encounter’s;
    So far the side missions have come in two forms for me, that of “Stranger Missions”, multi-part quests with fully developed cutscenes and bounty hunting, interesting and somewhat always unique mini-stories as you hunt down various outlaws around the map. The “Stranger Missions” are absolutely phenomenal, each with their own self contained and captivating little narratives that span 3-5 missions for each, there are a total of 16 stranger missions in the game that have been found and the amount of detail and work put into them is surprising and really sets the bar high for other titles. The Bounty Hunting is surprisingly varied as you go from just simply finding a bounty, killing all of his friends and taking him back to the Sheriff on the back of your stallion to finding an outlaw who’s supposedly “changed his ways” with a struggling family who begs you to let him say his goodbyes before he comes peacefully, you let him, you hear him tell his son to “do what I told you to you” and think nothing of it. During the trip your bounty slips out of his bonds and tries to escape, you quickly hogtie him and chuck him back up on your horse, all seems okay from there until four of his former gang members ambush you and reveal that your bounty’s son was told to go warn them, you kill them and finally get him back to the sheriff as he begs for release. That is how varied these missions are.

    Finally, I’ll touch on the gameplay:

    While admittedly slow and semi-clunky, the gameplay really hits its mark when trying to be weighty and brutal, once the (again, admittedly) confusing controls have been gotten used to and you’ve had some time to work out what works and what doesn’t, the gameplay can be very smooth and enjoyable, gameplay ranges from sitting down at a campfire with a few gang members as you drink your morning coffee and sing a sing under the rising sun to dual wielding sawed off shotguns, completely decapitating people and having massive bar fights that show off the much Improved and visceral melee system.

    Overall I’d have to say that this is one of the best single player experiences I have ever had and also one of the best plots (in my opinion) presented in any form of entertainment in the last 50 or so years. A phenomenal game and definitely worth a buy, if not the more expensive editions. Absolutely wonderful.

The weapon selection menu makes me most upset, but after a while you do not get it.

    Go and buy it. Because this game has everything, it's a treasure.

    I had to make a registration here:) 5

    edit:
    I read how the game is slow, how long it takes, how long it takes to loot, etc. RDR2 is all done great. Only the developers of other games are constantly reducing the demands on players because today's player just wants to quickly consume stupid entertainment. RDR2 is for real players.

    RDR2 has enormous world with always something going on. Story is pretty awesome. graphics are top notch. Horse movement and physics are good. The game has nothing in common (as gameplay) with GTAV, not even close. Weapons actually have some learning curve and are not the same at all. I can say my money on the game are well spent and is worth it.

I played through like 30 mins. of the game and i felt like: "Yeah this is cool and stuff but theres nothing special to it, kinda boring." Then i watched a few reviews. I thought: "ok, one last try."

    And that´s the best thing i´ve ever done :D The Game opens it´s Open World after like 45min. - 1 hour (for me at least, i played a bit slow/relaxed).
    The game starts slow and you learn something about almost all characters (within missions or just talking in the camp). And once the game immerses you and gets its grip it takes you on a rollercoaster ride with one of the best stories i´ve ever experienced. (note: i played games like: the last of us, uncharted, Horizon: Zero Dawn, God of War)

    Every single mission is different from the other, that makes that game good. The story is getting more intense but can also have times to call down and lets you breathe, before it gets more intense. That made it great.

    Then you have this big, detailed, interactive and immersive Open World. It felt entirely alive. I suffered with every character and believed that all of this characters were alive a long time ago. I lost myself many times in this game.

    And that makes it almost PERFECT. 10/10 - a must buy.

    Generally speaking, there are two types of negative reviews for RDR2.
    1. People annoyed about the game not being out for PC, or upset about 30 fps.
    2. People who thinks that the game is too slow and repetitive. You have to understand that it's deeply unfair to give a game a bad rating because it's not out for PC or has a frame cap that—frankly—most console games have. You gotta judge

    1. People annoyed about the game not being out for PC, or upset about 30 fps.
    2. People who thinks that the game is too slow and repetitive.

    You have to understand that it's deeply unfair to give a game a bad rating because it's not out for PC or has a frame cap that—frankly—most console games have. You gotta judge the game based on its content, narrative, gameplay—by judging it on external factors such as fps or PC-availability you're severely hurting the reliability of its rating.
    If you're in the second demographic who thinks the game is too slow, it's probably because you're used to playing fast-paced games. Rocket League, God of War, Fortnite, etc.

    YES, RDR2 is a slower game than the aforementioned, but in that slowness is where you find its quality. Its slowness makes you notice the little things around you—the landscape, animals, birds, the changing light. The slowness makes you appreciate the games atmosphere, it makes you feel involved in its world. The fact that you have to ride on horseback to several quest-points is a deliberate choice from R* in getting you to know your fellow characters better through conversation while stressing the world's scale by having you travel the actual distances.

    Releasing a game like this is a very bold move by R* in a time where our attention-spans have become ridiculously short. I'm a firm believer that this approach is good and healthy for the gaming industry and for gamers, demonstrating that games don't have to be over-the-top, unrealistic and FAST in order to succeed. Maybe we can get back to a frame of mind that's not just about a quick fix.

    The pacing of the game will sadly throw some people off. These are people who have this shortened attention-span, are unable to appreciate the beauty of the game-world and the game's excellent writing, but who are interested in games that are more arcade-ish, colourful and crazy. Having different preferences is totally fine. As an example, I personally don't like to play Fortnite. Its art style is not for me and the gunfights too hectic. But that doesn't mean that I can't see its quality on a mechanical level. And just because I don't like this type of game myself, doesn't mean I'm gonna give it a terrible review on Metacritic. It just means I won't review it. Similarly, I think more people reviewing RDR2 ought to consider if it's even a game for them before reviewing it.

    Lastly, I give the game a perfect score, and I do so after much consideration and after having completed 58% of the game. I think it deserves a 10 because no other game has made me feel this much like I wasn't playing a game. The world looks lived in, the NPC's feel human to an almost unsettling degree, and my choices feel like they have impact. And the music is sensational. Sure, the game has some glitches here and there, you can't avoid that with an open world game. But if there ever was a game more deserving a perfect score, it's Red Dead Redemption 2.

    Before purchasing the game I saw user reviews complaining about how there's no fast travel, it takes time to get places on the horse, there are so many little meticulous things you need to do. And I will admit I was worried by these reviews. But once I started playing, the horse rides and the little chores did not feel meticulous. They made me feel more integrated into the game, as if I am not just controlling Arthur Morgan, I AM Arthur Morgan.

    Gameplay is incredibly fun. Bank heists, train robberies, gun-fights are super exciting. This game will define the future of gaming as developers look to emulate the depth of the world that Rockstar has created.

Overall this game has already lasted me longer than most and I know it will last for a long time to come with the unbelievable amount of content available right from the start with more unlocked as time goes on.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is hands down one of the best open world games I have ever played. To begin with, the universe it takes place is quite massive and full of life. It is convincing, let me just say that. Often enough, game developers come out with massively detailed maps that lack the most important part: life. Rockstar did it right as usual, and the map truly breathes. Animals, NPCs,Red Dead Redemption 2 is hands down one of the best open world games I have ever played. To begin with, the universe it takes place is quite massive and full of life. It is convincing, let me just say that. Often enough, game developers come out with massively detailed maps that lack the most important part: life. Rockstar did it right as usual, and the map truly breathes. Animals, NPCs, everything feels consistent and coherent. They all have a purpose, never there for placeholding or to make it feel like there is something going on but not really, like it usually happens with massive open world universes. Rockstar made an universe of their own and it shines.
    As we all know, a game is not only made of big and living maps. It needs objectives, a storyline, strong characters and something to get you hooked on. Luckily enough, RDR 2's story is nearly as perfect as the universe it takes place. You will fall in love with Dutch Van der Linde's gang, and you will also hate them, at times. It's unpredictable, cruel and sometimes funny. It feels like something straight out of a good western book, and it really does make you play the game for countless hours nonstop. For nearly 60 hours, you say goodbye to your true self and take Arthur's body into quite an adventure.
    It has quite a slow start as most people mentioned in the reviews, but it definitely gets better as you rack up the game hours. It's good to the point you don't want it to end, and the closer you get to the final chapter, the more you want it to last longer. It's like that expensive Danish Cookies box you got for Christmas, except you can't really have more of it once it's over. Unless one could wipe his memories and play it again like it was the very first time.
    And not only it's a good storyline, but it also sticks with you. It's rather memorable, with lots of ups and downs and unexpected twists. Truly one of the best stories ever written for a game, despite some saying otherwise. Let's just say those are used to the standard AAA storytelling technique, which is sort of predictable at all times. RDR 2's story might be everything, but not predictable. If you have never gotten any spoilers, the outcome of the campaign will be definitely a surprise. And it's better that way. Predictability takes a lot away from the overall enjoyment.
    Rockstar took full advantage of the "next generation" of consoles - or should we say "soon to be obsolete" generation? - delivering an impressive visual quality tied to a huge environment and excellent artificial intelligence. Just like in 2013 with Grand Theft Auto V on PS3 and X360, the game is quite a closure to the current generation. Xbox One and PS4 are soon to be gone, but they are going with a bang. Full style, like a true gunslinger. A decent goodbye. The Housers once again proving that they master the extremely challenging task of taking the full potential of the hardware they got to work on, like making juice out of rocks. With that much money to spare, it is definitely not unexpected.
    It's a 10 from me, but it definitely does not mean that it's perfect. There's no such thing as perfection. Everything has its flaws and RDR 2 could not run away from that, but those are minor and don't affect the overall experience. It's definitely worth the 60 dollars and it's a life you have to live. Arthur Morgan's journey is one of a kind.

Though it does start out slow, it is something one should expect with the western genre, not every game needs to start out with giant shootouts to get the player involved, but rather have the story fleshed out to entice them to keep going; which this does perfectly.

    I have played 100% through this game, and I would say it is 100% worth the money. Some people may have some issues, but it does a very good job developing the story, and really making you love the main character. I personally think the game was very fun, and enjoyable to the point where I could hardly stop playing it. It's very good.

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

    Some flaws I found in this game is that the controls feels clunky at times, and some of the animations, in pursuit of realism, tends to slow down the gameplay, whish is quite irritable.

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

    This game is an absolute masterpiece that shows how a decelerated approach can get you far greater and more emotional results than just another Assassins Creed or even Horizon Zero Dawn.
    It might not be your cup of tea but Godfather might be neither and no one would argue about the quality of that movie.

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

    Лично для меня - лучшая игра последних лет и лучшая игра 8го поколения. Невероятная проработка деталей, внимание буквально ко всем элементам, уйма занятий и очень живой мир.
    Сюжет простой, но "жизненный", здесь нет стандартной борьбы со злом, нет исключительно плохих или хороших персонажей. Персонажи развиваются, у них меняется мировоззрение, ты просто веришь им.

    RDR2 is exactly what I thought it would be... AMAZING! I've had it since it's release and I'm still roaming every bit of the terrain and finding all the Easter eggs I can before actually diving in to the story. Also I'm glad Rockstar held off on releasing the Online-Multiplayer. Gives people time to jump in and get a real feel for what FUN & EXCITING times lie ahead for this masterpiece.RDR2 is exactly what I thought it would be... AMAZING!

Also, you can't knock 17 million copies sold in it's first couple days. To all those complaining about story time and slowing down the player... Must I remind you, the game is set in 18 friggin 99! Go play GTA V if you wanna go fast lol. Imagine traveling from town to town on horseback back then. You'd spend half a day to 3 days, or even months if you were heading to a different region. And I don't have a problem with my controls. See they have this option in the controls to play with your sliders to maximize your experience. Auto aim is for chumps who run out in a hail of gun fire and kill everyone while getting shot to bits LMAO. Free-Aim is for Pros who like to take their time, find cover, and drop em like flies! If RDR2 had a difficulty option you auto-aim folks would play on "the easiest easy" difficulty. While us gaming VETS would play on Billy "The Kid" Difficulty, which would be the Ultimate challenge. I LOVE RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2! HANDS DOWN GAME OF THE YEAR! Expand

    The game is absolutely awesome. I loved every part of the main story. The side quests are quite original at the beginning, some of them are really cool. But after a few hours you see the pattern... and gets a bit boring. Also running into someone can make the whole town shoot you.

    The world created is the best a game has ever achieved, by a big margin. Not only is it huge, it's also extremely complex and filled with life. I did not expect this level of complexity this generation.

    The gameplay is varied and very fun. It gives you mundane tasks in order to get you into the atmosphere but not to the extent where it feels like a chore. And the variety of missions, side-missions and tasks is simply outstanding.

    The story is well crafted, beautifully ties into the previous game, masterfully develops the characters, and ends with a well crafted bang.

    Truly the easiest 10 out of 10! And my new favourite game!

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is not groundbreaking in it's technical aspect or it's graphical fidelity, but it is groundbreaking for what it does with world creation, story telling, and player - NPC interaction.

The world is massive, and there is plenty to do. From quests, to fishing and hunting, challenges, table games such as poker and dominoes, strangers to meet, races, collectibles, etc. The main story is story-telling at its absolute best. RDR2 makes you care about so many characters in a way most other games fail to.

    This game is incredibly polished (I've encountered very few bugs, and even those were very minor). The Rockstar engine continues to hold up well despite its age, with only the occasional hiccup in frame rate in larger, more dense, areas.

    No game gives you quite the same IGP as RDR2. It almost feels like you are there. I finished the main story in approx 70 hrs, so the game gives you a lot of play-time for your money. I would recomend trying not to go from one mission to another non-stop. Try to go hunting, fishing, rob somebody or race a stranger on a horse. I was way too focused on the main story.

Да как то увлекся, знаете ли игрой RDR2. И скажу честно... даже как то жаль писюков что они не смогут поиграть в эту игру. Сказать что это игра одна из лучших за всю историю индустрии - ничего не сказать. Даже игрой ее назвать сложно. это скорее произведение исскуства. Я не идеализирую ее, идеальных игр нет, но.... если посмотреть на другие игры, на отношения разработчиков к ним и на то какую рабьоту проделали те самые разработчики я не могу поставить 9-ку. Именно эта оценка достойна игры. 9 тверлых баллов с плюсом. Почему не 10? Потому, что игра не лиршена минусов. За них много сказано. Лично для меня это немного корявое управление (особенно во время лута). Но +1 бал я накидываю разработчикам, которые проделали титаническую работу. Первые 10-15 часов геймплея я не переставал удивляться насколько в игре много проработаных мелочей, как скурпулезно разработики отнеслись к своему детищу. Не оставив без внимания ничего! Как только игра перестала удиивлять своими мелочами у меня открылся рот от сюжетных поворотов. Персонажи игры стали такими близкими. Ты начинаешь им сопереживать. Хотя я не любитель глубокого погружения в виртуальный мир игры эта игра меня очаровала. Мне просто иногда хотелось скакать на лошади и смотреть на местные красоты. Открытый мир превосходен. Вы не найдете здесь ни одной похожей на друг-друга локацию. Природа настолько разнообразна. В общем я могу еще долго осыпать игру комплиментами. Это игра которая действительно оставит свой след в индустрии и в ближаешие годы именно на нее будут равняться конкуренты. Рокстар снова создали шедевр. 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]
