    The greatest game ever made and with the best protagonist. Arthur Morgan is such a fantastic and complex character.

    This game is also one of the generally more immersive games I have ever played. When your horse has balls that shrivel up in the snow and hang low in the heat to me that is detail (not that my main focus are the horse balls) but that's just one example of how ever aspect of this game goes out of its way to give you a realistic cowboy, outlaw experience. Another example is that your hair grows and you have to keep cutting it and shaving to maintain your character or you can grow out your beard to change your appearance to avoid being recognized if your wanted.

    This show me that Rockstar knows how to make a game and companies like Bethesda Game Studios can take a lesson from them on how to make an RPG, with online elements that everyone, with all gaming styles, can enjoy.    … Expand

    despite some mionor bugs and glitches in horseback riding, there is no problem with this game. the main and side missions are absolutely impressive. the dialouges are great and rockstar hide some pretty impresive messages among them. the combat and gunfight are truly amazing but at the start of the game they maybe hard to use but couple of hours in the game and you will love it. thedespite some mionor bugs and glitches in horseback riding, there is no problem with this game. the main and side missions are absolutely impressive. the dialouges are great and rockstar hide some pretty impresive messages among them. the combat and gunfight are truly amazing but at the start of the game they maybe hard to use but couple of hours in the game and you will love it. the graphics are amazing and i think there are no game out there that even come close to RDR2. the only problem i find is that your options to upgrade the functionality of the camp are so limited and you can fully upgrade the camp in little time and most important there is not many things in the game to buy except clothes, guns and ammos. i hope they add buying houses and properties in the online mode.… Expand

    I have also read about how many bugs there are. Of course you will find some bugs from time to time in such a game, but the amount and the severity of the bugs are sure OK. The game experience is not ruined at all.

    There are only two possible ratings for such an unprecedented milestone in the game industry: 9 and 10. I respect the 9 ratings due to the principle that there is always room for improvement, and of course they could have done some things a whole lot better (particularly on story variations depending on your choices and honor). But 10's are not about polished games with no bugs at all or easy controls, they are reserved for the few masterpieces that are released every year. And this is sure one of them. 10 for me.    … Expand

    I played RDR a lot in 2010-2011, complete play-throughs of the main story and all the side quests, as well as the online version.

I found the immersion incredible and after a while, I realized that playing the game was more about being in the environment than just executing the next goal; the environment was so rich, I often found myself avoiding the next main story objective, wanting instead to explore and enjoy the little things.

    I think this is one of the reasons I find RDR2 so good. After about 10 hours in, that feeling came back – I just wanted to be in the environment. The missions are fun, and the story is the best story I’ve found in a game, and so, consequently, I’m not in a rush to see it finish; it’s like when you realize you’re watching a really fantastic movie, and you don’t want it to end. A game offers the opportunity to immerse yourself in an environment more fully than a movie, and a correctly constructed open-world game allows you to do it at a leisurely pace rather than race from task to task, and still enjoy the time as it passes. If not, why bother making it open world? The world itself has to be the star of the show, as much as the missions, story, or anything else.

    I’ve played most open world games. Character movement is better in other franchises. Gunplay is better elsewhere, inventory management has better implementation examples in any number of other titles. However, as much as I love the other open worlds out there, none is quite as impressive to me as RDR2. The thought put into it is evident. The scale of the accomplishment is impressive. Dialogue between characters is exceptional, and when I compare it to many recent titles it makes them look lazy and amateur. Though it has bugs, I’ve encountered very few, which is a nice, refreshing change compared to the normal bug set I usually get from Bethesda or Ubisoft. This game not only feels polished, but contains all kinds of extra things that have exceeded my expectations in delightful ways. I’m not yet finished with the main story, though I feel like I’m close to the end – and I’m ready to give it the award for best story in a video game. The writing is superb.

    I acknowledge that some of this has to do with a fondness and sentimentality for RDR. To their credit, Rockstar seamlessly knitted RDR2’s prequel story into the beginning of RDR, and they knew exactly how to hit all the right emotional buttons for anyone who loved the 2010 title.

    There are always negative reviews of things. Some of the negative reviews I’ve read are, of course, not at all my experience. I’m 50+ hours into RDR2 and I’ve loved every minute of it; I don’t want it to end. A lot of it comes down to personal preference. In the seven years between RDR and RDR2, I played a lot of other open world games, and I realized very quickly into RDR2 that the pace of those games was not what the environment of West Elizabeth was all about. I remembered thinking to myself halfway through the game that someone who wasn’t patient was probably going to hate RDR2. Patience has its rewards, and sure enough, it made for an extremely rich, emotional experience story-wise, something I rarely – if ever – get from the other titles I’ve played. There’s plenty of action in this game if you want to engage action, but there’s also the slow pleasure of a casual poker game or a horse ride just to see the sights (as opposed to a ride to get to the start of a mission). Since I find the environment so enjoyable, the game works for me whereas it might not for someone who just wants to execute the main story as quickly as possible.

    I’m not unfamiliar with that desire; there are some games where I just want to get to the end because the world isn’t rich enough to hold my attention. With RDR2, as much as I want to complete the full story, I never want it to end…probably because it’ll be another seven years for a sequel.

    It’ll be worth waiting for if it’s this well made and executed. Hat’s off, Rockstar. You’re like the Kubrick of video gaming. Not a lot of output, but when you do…wow. Thanks for the good work.    … Expand

    In my personal opinion I make two settings: First, it is not a game for everyone. I say this because it is a game worthy of appreciation and not play anyway.
    Second: It is a work of art when seen and understood the whole concept of what this game represents.
    Every minute is worth it, but only if you know how to appreciate the details without haste.

    To say that I spent more than 60hrs playing the game before even getting close to finishing it was pretty awesome! Some have compared it to Skyrim but in the wild west. I'd likely say it's more like Mass Effect 2, with the GTA Open World. You'll play through the game and really come to love or hate the various character you meet up with.

    Hunting is by far my favorite past time in the game. Either it's for the meat, the hide or if I'm looking for a new horse! It's such a fun experience that I spent almost as much time doing that than actually moving through the story itself.

    The game itself is beautiful and the areas for which you can go to are so diverse you'll never get confused or find them copy pasted. This game is a great work of art and I would highly recommend anyone to pick it up and play through it.    … 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]
