    Hands down the best game ever, on any platform, in any genre. If you don't own this you'll never know how good games can be.

    One of the best story games for the ps4 , never seen such a good story. Arthur's story and how it ends makes him one of the best characters on video games.

    Quite simply the best game, I’ve ever played. As a Soulsborne fanatic, that’s saying a lot. A very touching story, with the best written characters I’ve ever experienced. The gunplay is In my opinion second to none, hitting the perfect shot is so satisfying. If RDR2 was a movie, I belive it would be In consideration for an Oscar. Just play this game, if you haven’t yet!

    One of the best games of 2018 and past couple of years. By 10 I’m not saying the game is flawless but there’s too many great features on the game to its probably 2 or 3 issues. Graphics are impeccable, story is very very strong for a game that’s a prequel to a game that probably wasn’t planned to have one (maybe it was planned idk lol). Definitely some plot holes if one wants to connect 2One of the best games of 2018 and past couple of years. By 10 I’m not saying the game is flawless but there’s too many great features on the game to its probably 2 or 3 issues. Graphics are impeccable, story is very very strong for a game that’s a prequel to a game that probably wasn’t planned to have one (maybe it was planned idk lol). Definitely some plot holes if one wants to connect 2 to 1 story wise. But as a stand-alone game, story is damn near perfect. Character progression and relationships is one of the best features of the game. You will really feel like a part of the gang over time as you play some of the mini games with them, do one of their side missions, or just conversation with them as you come back to camp to rest or resupply.

    2 issues I have with the game is the combat and online. Combat can be easy about 98% of the time and you may die only once or twice when you don’t take cover or something that can easily be fixed. And it being in the turn of the 20th century, guns and combat is boring to begin with, very little variety.

    With online play, I only played the Beta. It just felt like a GTA online clone, I’m not much of an online player anymore in general, but I’m sure with free or paid DLC and consistent updates I’m sure it’ll be just as fun as GTA online.

    Overall, without knit picking the game was executed damn near perfectly. With the disparity between critics and users, feel like most users are being over critical on this game.

    For five years straight The Last of Us sat at my top spot. Then along came Red Dead Redemption 2 and dethroned it. This IS the best game ever made. Rockstar Games never fail to deliver, but they have well and truly taken it to the next level with this game. This is a game that MUST be seen through to the end for an unforgettable and truly satisfying climax.

    RDR2 is not a videogame, it's an experience. Some times it can drag and be slow, but that is part of its narrative, and completely necessary to enjoy it, its characters and the world at its full. Play it and if you get tired, leave it for a while, BUT do yourself a favour and comeback and take your time to enjoy it, and for the love of god finish it. You won't regret it.

    A masterpiece, I was very skeptical about it when I heard it was a prequel to the red dead redemption. After playing it, it somehow surpasses the original.

    How do you follow up one of the most beloved games of not just one generation, but one of the most beloved games of all time. I'm talking about Rockstar Games RED DEAD REDEMPTION, which was released in 2010. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 1 had a narrative/story which will be remembered forever.

I'm talking about Rockstar Games RED DEAD REDEMPTION, which was released in 2010. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 1 had a narrative/story which will be remembered forever. It wasn't just Rockstar's best storytelling, it's one of the very best and most compelling stories ever told in any form of entertainment, let alone a video game. It's ending is still etched in the minds of those who completed it. Well, I don't know. I expected an even better game than the first one. But what Rockstar has achieved with RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is really unbelievable. I'll not say much about RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2, because this game just can't be described in words. I'll just say that RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is the best video game ever made. It's the most fun i've ever had in any video game that i've played till now. RDR 2 is the greatest game ever made. It's a landmark achievement in video games. RDR 2 is the game of the decade, it's the game of the century, it's the best game since video games. Rockstar Games have done it again. They spent 8 years making this game. Spending 8 years of your life into making a video game is not a joke. But it's Rockstar's dedication, their commitment to this franchise, just a very few hours into this game and you can tell that that where those 8 years of hard work went by. RDR 2 contains 1,200 actors; 300,000 animations; 500,000 lines of dialogue; 2,000 pages of script and many more lines of code. Plus RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is the best looking video game ever, i'll say this again, ever. RDR 2 has the best graphics in any video game till date. And considering that this is a huge open world game, that is also a landmark achievement from Rockstar. With RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2, Rockstar Games have changed video games forever. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is a turning point for the whole video game industry. This is a brand new benchmark for what video games can be. If you think that RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is just another video game, then you are absolutely wrong. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 has undoubtedly raised the bar for video games in general, and it will have a lasting impact on how they are made in the future. It pushes the envelope of what we understand is possible in a video game. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 elevates the entire medium of gaming to levels that we thought were not possible. It signals a new future for video games. I’ve never seen this detail and atmosphere in any other game. It explains why Rockstar Games took 8 years to deliver it. With RDR 2, Rockstar Games has changed the face of video games forever. In RDR 2, Rockstar Games have also delivered it's greatest storytelling yet, and they have offered a level of attention to detail never before seen in any movie or TV show, let alone an open-world game. If you like to play video game, then RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 is a game that should not be missed at any cost. If you want to play just only one game this generation, then make sure that game is RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2. Expand

    Мне эта игра очень понравилась. То, что люди говорят, что скучно, то я такое не заметил. И если это и так, то это Дикий запад.Это вам конец 19 века. В этом времени не было небоскребов и машин с автоматами.
    Сюжет в начале не очень интересный. Но потом, разворачивается и стновится диномичным и очень интересным

    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]
