With 200 hours of my first playthrough, I am very excited to start a second playthrough soon. If you ever get the mere opportunity to buy the game, do it. The game should be worth 80 dollars. Game didn't crash once and I had no technical issues whatsoever. Should have won game of the year in 2018, and is the best of the decade. My favorite game, and the definition of the open world genre.

    DIFFICULTY: Normal
    The difficulty is fair, you need general knowledge on shooting but overall the tutorial teaches the mechanics and features pretty well, though the tutorial is basically the first short chapter.

    GRAPHICS: 10/10, Masterpiece
    This is the greatest graphics in a game I will go as far as saying, especially on PC. Whenever you are walking around to a mission, from a mission, to a point of interest, or just wandering around (which I do reccomend) you will be stunned and never be let down in the setting and environment. Makes it a blast to do 100% completion, which is basically just wandering around.

    STORY: 10/10, Masterpiece
    The characters, world, plot, I cannot describe. Simply wonderful

    SOUND/MUSIC: 10/10, I am crying
    If Rockstar failed on the music, this game would have no depth, and loose a lot of why it is a Masterpiece today. Everytime the soundtrack kicks in, I just get a feeling, a feeling that makes me feel so good and truly immerses me. Every time it plays, I feel like I am sucked into my monitor and become Arthur Morgan. Most of the parts I can't say due to spoilers (I want to make sure many people see this and buy the game), but oh my god the music is so great, one of the best reasons why this is my favorite game of all time.

    LENGTH: 40-300 Hours, its up to you
    At about 170 hours I finished my first playthrough and that was doing most of the stranger missions, entire story, exploring, and much, much more. If you are a type of person who plays story mission after story mission, compeltely ignoring the thousands of other things to do in this world, (which I heavily do not reccomend at all), then it will take 30-50 hours. But please, explore just a bit and do some stranger missions, or be like me and take your time, about an hour in between each mission.

    PRICE: Underpriced
    Most people will be mad at that, but thats only because they don't want to pay more money. I believe it should be worth a little more due to the amount of things you can do in this world. But a company wouldn't do that due to basically all AAA games being 60 dollars.

    ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
    -Gameplay seemed hard at first, but after a little bit I got used to it, wasn't confusing to me at all after
    -Extremely detailed, even places you go to for like an hour and arent even in the main map
    -There are a few times you make a desicion, but I am completely fine with that as it shows that it is the story based it game it should be

    In conclusion, this does nothing close to dissapoint, you will be stunned at the environment, very immersed in the story and times the soundtrack plays, which is extremely fitting, spend a ton of time in the game (if you finish it, which you should, and overall be getting a once in a lifetime experience.    … Expand

    So much love for detail, a very strong narrative, beautiful visuals. Despite its long runtime, i never once felt let down. If you have a bit of patience, have an eye for beautiful details and a gripping story, this one is for you

    And this game is a 10/10. It's the best game of the decade. It has everything. Maybe, just maybe a tiny bit too linear, but that's the assumption of the game. I don't mind. It allows for everything else to be absolutely perfect. The only game I've ever enjoyed as much from start to finish.

    While the fundamental gameplay is a bit clunky, Red Dead Redemption 2 is so unbelievably spectacular in every other area that its few flaws become extremely minor.

    The story is sucking you into it. You start to really worry about everyone. The ending is one of the best. If you did not cry in the end you must be a heartless  human from the tax office.

From the raw companionship you feel with your gang to the mesmerizing action scenes and dialogue, the vast landscapes and animals, to the smallest detail of a weapon, bug, or foliage....You actually felt like you were apart of this world and it hit every level of entertainment for me in terms of comedy, love, sadness, and horror. Not to ramble on or sound cliche but I don't ever think I will play a game as good as this again. I still watch RDR2 related content although I've taken a break from single-player and online. I played the game daily for nearly 2 years after its release inspecting of inch of what Rockstar and these wonderful actors created. I'm honestly thankful for the experience.… Expand

I log on very often excited to play once again in this very realistic open-world game. There are many pros and cons to this game. One pro being this game is very lived-in. But one con being too much immersion. Now, don't get me wrong, immersion is great but sometimes it pushes it too far. For instance, if you want to loot dead bodies it's a 3-second animation to loot a single NPC. This is fine until you shoot a bunch of O'driscolls at a camp and decide to loot them. It takes a solid 2 and a half minutes looting a couple of bodies. Another con would be the weapons. The weapons themselves are great, but cleaning them every time you shoot something can get quite annoying. I'm quite sure there are plenty more problems with immersion, but I'm not going to list them all In this little text box. The story overall is great. But if you played the first game you pretty much know what the ending will be. The entirety of Rdr1 was about hunting down old gang members like dutch. You learn that such betrayed the gang in Rdr1 so the first ending was quite predictable. The honor system is probably the worst thing I've ever seen. You can go on a bloody murder spree in Saint-Denis and then lose all of your honor and then greet some folk on the street and regain your horrible reputation. Earning money is hard compared to GTA 5 (Another Rockstar title). So, overall it's a great game with a lot of cons to it. I'd give it a 7.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is a complete masterpiece. I mean there is many thing I can name in this game that is amazing but this review would be 7 paragraphs long. Anyways this game has hands down the best story in my opinion, it shows the backstory to the first red dead redemption game and it shows it WELL. It can be a serious game at times and a fun game. The story can also be a real tear jerker too especially at the end when a lot of the characters died. This game offers so much freedom in the aspect of taking care of your character/horse etc. now the online is a little different it’s not bad it just could be better, rockstar doesn’t really keep up with the updates like the do for gta 5 it’s a little hard to get money in online, but other than that game is perfect definitely urge you to buy it… Expand

First of all, the graphics are amazing, even if you are playing on low graphics but make sure to have your texture quality on ultra otherwise the game wont look nearly as good. Secondly the story was just amazing and the character development behind every character is just amazing. The story always finds a way to surprise you and that makes it more interesting, but I would say this game isnt for you if you dont like slow paced games, but I would give it a try since I always played really fast paced games but I ended up enjoying RDR2. The game also features a really good open world that I never found my self getting bored from, since the map is big, there are a lot of side missions AND there are a bunch of animals, horses, plants and flowers you can find throughout the world so there is a lot you can do in the open world. If that wasnt enough for you, you can also go out hunting for animals for their meat and pelt or you can chase down other outlaws and bring them in for a reward. This game has an eye for attention to detail as well, which is just really impressive for a video game. For example your facial hair and hair grows throughout the game and you can shave it whenever you want. On top of that the game never lacked any customization IMO either. Although I would say there arent that many clothes you can pick from which was kind of disappointing. But you can customize your gun alot and you also have a good choice of different hair styles to choose from.

    But just like any other game it has its downsides. Firstly while playing through the game I found out that the hair in this game has some bugs. For example whenever I was in darker areas Arthurs hair would change color in an unrealistic way, and when I was in lighter areas his hair would just be too bright. I didnt see many problems in terms of bugs in the game but I did encounter a few while playing the game but nothing game-breaking.

    I would say this game is definitely worth playing and I would give it a 9,5 out of 10 because the horses are just kind of too slow for the big map so if you are going exploring it can get quite boring.    … Expand

    great story and attention to detail with graphics and some minor things that rockstar does so well like the fact that your horse's dick gets smaller in cold or every single animation has a lot of polish. Arthur Morgan is easily the best protagonist in gaming and his redemption arc is just fantastic.

    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]
