    Rockstar has done it again. No game that I have ever played has even come CLOSE to the sheer size scope and beauty this game delivers. So much replay value in singeplayer AND online. Do recommend. 10/10

    Easily one of the best games Ive ever played, possibly in my top 5, maybe even top 3. INCREDIBLE story, graphics, and tons of stuff to do.

    Well, Im a sony fan boy, so I didnt think Id like this game, but I love it indeed. Its better than any game thats come out this year by far and possibly one of the greatest of all time. Scratch that, its definitely one of the greatest but idk how Id rank it. I had so much fun with the story itself, now Im playing blackjack and can play that for hours on end. Hunting is fun too.

    What more can you ask for in a video game? A completely 10/10 story from start to finish and a stellar online component with tons to do.

    I had never played the first red dead, and was a bit skeptical of open world R* games. However, I was absolutely blown away by this game. The realism, attention to detail, all the things one can do. its a 10/10 from me.

    This game is an open world masterpiece. All of the necessary elements are there and it improves upon the first game in nearly every way.

    This game won more awards at the VGA for a reason, it is a spectacular game through and through.

    I think that the reviewer giving 1~7 score are not even played more than 10 hours. So I'm sad that they can't feel what i've felt.

    This game is 100% amazing in ever way. It is worth the 60 dollars throughout every single part of the game and is a true step forward in terms of technical achievement.

    This game, while made under questionable conditions at Rockstar, is a true achievement for gaming moving forward. It tells the world that games are now being taken as seriously as movies.

    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.
