I did not enjoy the epilogue part 2 and wished if everything was wrapped up in the final chapter. but all in all, this game deserves all the credit it got and still can compete with later games. this is coming from a guy who played it for the first time in 2021, after playing the likes of TLOU2, RE8 and Ghost of tsushima… Expand

    Interesting story
    Good physics
    Excellent music

    If you haven’t played yet, what were you waiting for?
    But be aware that if you don’t like long story this game might not be for you, because sometimes you want it to end but it still continues, although it is worth it (at least for me :) )

    a masterpiece, excellent graphics, mechanics and the story wraps around connecting itself with the previous red dead redemption, red dead redemption 2 is a presequel, it almost has everything a gamer needs although it's not an rpg but still it mixed with many elements

    Many story-driven games focusing on 3-4 characters are full of cliche, but R* gives you 26 well written characters.

People who are highlighting how realistic the gameplay are forgetting to mention the same thing about dialogues and character development. Some players complaining about the randomness of in-game activities such as fishing, hunting, stranger activities e.t.c. , are missing the fact that this is a story about a gang trying to survive in wilderness, you don't always just sit and talk about next heist. You do other stuff that you need to do also. Who in real life hasn't found themselves in completely random situation that has nothing to do with their lifes anyway ? Those "random" stuff in the game actually gives the living world feeling to player.… Expand

    The almost definitive open world game.
    If it weren't so tied to story missions, It would be the best game of the last 20 years, probably.

    Red Dead Redemption 2's open-world is so beautiful with great attention to detail like the NPCs having detailed schedules sometimes in the camp people are arguing, having a drink by the fire while telling stories or sometimes dancing you can even find dutch playing some classic music in his tent, I can talk about the experiences I had with the open-world and I can't say anything negativeRed Dead Redemption 2's open-world is so beautiful with great attention to detail like the NPCs having detailed schedules sometimes in the camp people are arguing, having a drink by the fire while telling stories or sometimes dancing you can even find dutch playing some classic music in his tent, I can talk about the experiences I had with the open-world and I can't say anything negative about it, it's one of the best ones out there with super realistic sounds and graphics like how can this game run on this 7-year-old console. The story is superb just like the open-world the characters are so well written every character has an important role in the story and the story never starts to feel boring at least not until chapter 4 not gonna spoil too much but somehow you end up on an island and for one and half an hour you just mindlessly kill hordes of enemies with no strong goal and after you get off the island the game just introduces new characters instead of the story being about the characters you care about. I can't even one new character that has been introduced after chapter 4 but after the red dead redemption mission the story gets much better I probably would've stopped playing it because the story was the thing that pushed me to do missions but as I said after story gets bad the gameplay should carry that part of the game but the combat system like the story is superb but after halfway, through the game, it just gets boring with ancient aim system and a cover system that's worse than the first game that came out seven years ago at the start these are just minor issues but as the game goes on these minor issues starts to turn into negatives. There's a lot of stuff I didn't talk about because there is so much like gambling, hunting, having a bounty on your head and bounty hunters coming to get your head randomly, you need to feed Arthur and bathe him, an honour system where if you do something good you get honour but if you do a bad thing you lose honour and based on your honour you can get discount at stores or just people hating you, you needing to take care of the camp by donating food or money or robbing a train when it's out in the open whenever you want like there's still so many stuff I can talk about but I will leave it to you to discover the details on your own I definitely recommend this game but if you're just starting to play games this might be too much for you.… Expand

The opening 2-3 hours are just tedious, consisting largely of hold down ‘X’ to slowly follow people through the snow listening to stories about events that sound far more interesting than what you’re doing. When you do actually see a bit of action, you’ll find the controls to be as clunky as they always are in Rockstar Games, making shoot-outs far less exciting than they should be.

    I’m sure there’ll be people saying I should have given this game longer, but if the developers aren’t able to grab my interest in four hours of gaming that’s their fault, not mine.    … Expand

    An excellent adventure game, slow, but with breathtaking writing skills. The technique is excellent, the game is magnificent, optimizes very well and the bugs are quite rare. The gameplay can be quite difficult to take in hand and the fights are repetitive. But it is especially for the walks in the open world which make that one takes pleasure there.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, where do I even begin with this one?

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is nothing short of flawless. It captures your heart in it's opening moments as protagonist Arthur Morgan and the rest of the Van der Linde gang mourn the loss of one of it's members, Davey, as they struggle to find shelter in the middle of a blizzard on the run from America's coming of civility. At this moment, my heart was captured and Red Dead Redemption 2 held onto it right up until it's very last breath's - nothing a video game has ever done for me before.

    I originally played this game right as the clock struck midnight on October 26, 2018 on PS4 and have dumped many more hours into it on PC and still play it regularly to this day, whether it be fooling around with mods or goofing around with friends in the rather lackluster Red Dead Online, but I'm not going to be reviewing that today. RDR2 is one of the most authentic experiences ever. It's down to earth and it's human. Every single character, whether it be a random NPC who triggers a side quest or a member of camp, is fully realised with goals, aspirations, morals, ideologies and more. They're made to feel human and Rockstar does an incredible job of developing each character's personality to match the circumstances of the story throughout the game. Without spoiling too much, the Arthur you play as in Chapter 1 & 2 is not the same man you're playing as in Chapter 4 and is completely different again come Chapter 6. The world adapts to you more so than you adapt to it and that's this games' biggest strength. Commit a crime in Valentine and get away; come back a few days later and the Sheriff will question you about your actions if you're recognised, every NPC has a fully scripted routine that they follow and they will react in a variety of ways depending on how you interrupt that routine. The long, lonely stretches of land, watching the wind get torn in half by you on your horse is a sight to behold and the townships and cities that inhabit RDR2's game world are sprawling with lively characters to meet, activity's to participate in and crimes to commit. This is a game where no detail is left untouched; it is absolutely uncanny the amount of time it must've taken to realise every nook and cranny this world has to offer from the cinematic train heists to Dutch Van der Linde's, the gang's charismatic leader, an idealist of a new world, descent into madness as he falls victim to his own arrogance and the toxicity of the ego fueling psychopathic traitor Micah Bell. There are twists and turns in this story that you will not expect and some events are thrown at you so quickly you don't even know they hit you. You feel so connected, so engrossed in this virtual world that no other game has come close to replicating before. You feel the magnitude of every decision you make and eventually it will wear numb until Rockstar hands you a rude awakening and you're made to step back and look at the bigger picture. The way this games' story is told is nothing short of magnificent, props to Dan and Sam Houser and the rest of the narrative team crafting such an intricate and beautiful story about human nature.

    Obviously though, this is a video game, right? You can have the most beautiful world with the most amazing story being told in the world but if it's not fun to play then you won't be able to enjoy the game, right? Well, luckily RDR2 nails it in this department to. Micromanaging your horse, your beard, your hair and your weight never feels like a chore because it's never truly forced upon you, it's simply there if you wish to utilise it for increased immersion, rarely is any of it made a necessity. Riding your horse, which is what you'll spend a majority of the game doing, feels natural and intuitive and you can tell Rockstar took what they did well in the first game back in 2010 and updated it to give it a more modern feel while retaining that smooth feeling RDR1 had to it. The gunplay went rather unchanged and I know this was an annoyance for some people, but for me personally I think the gunplay was perfect the way it was and Rockstar didn't need to change it. They found themselves a serviceable system, tightened it up for eighth gen standards and ran with it and I didn't have a problem with that at all - don't fix it if it ain't broke. Most importantly in an open world game, interacting with the world around you feels seamless, it's like the world jumps at you right when you want it to and shies away when it knows you need some peace. I seriously have nothing to complain about here, all praise from me.

    Finally, the soundtrack. Oh my god. Some of the most memorable and emotional moments are heightened because of the superb selection of tracks that play just at the right moments and really engulf you in the mind of Arthur Morgan. It makes you empathise with him and the people around him on a whole new level, it is truly spectacular.

    It is an absolute masterpiece. 10/10.    … 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]
