    Simply the best open world ever made. It's like a painting you can explore and shape in your own way. I've never seen something that beautiful and immersive in video game.

    I'll reserve my full review until after I've actually finished the game. I would like to point out that fast travel exists in the game, you just have to unlock it from the camp first, you kneejerk hobos that are freaking out over it.

    My opinion

    Its epic and interesting plot. Very worked and living world. Constantly NPCs react differently to a character, depending on their actions. Actions affect the plot, so you should think before you do something. It can be seen that a lot of time and effort has been invested in this game. I think this game really can claim to be the GAME OF THE YEAR !!! TOP

    This game is a serious 'western RPG simulator', sold as an 'action' game. It's just very, very slow, held back, clunky, with tons and tons of RPG customization, maintenance and stuff I personally hate about games.

The music is on point, I didn't think it could get much better than the first game. Story is great, from the trailers I didn't think I'd like Arthur much but he's just as likeable as John from the first game IMO. So far I've experienced no crashes and only 3 or 4 major glitches in roughly 20 hours of play, the first few hours are quite slow but it picks up quickly after the first couple missions. Can't recommend it enough, if you liked the first Red Dead Redemption you'll love this.… Expand

    Generally speaking, there are two types of negative reviews for RDR2.
    1. People annoyed about the game not being out for PC, or upset about 30 fps.
    2. People who thinks that the game is too slow and repetitive.

    1. People annoyed about the game not being out for PC, or upset about 30 fps.
    2. People who thinks that the game is too slow and repetitive.

    You have to understand that it's deeply unfair to give a game a bad rating because it's not out for PC or has a frame cap that—frankly—most console games have. You gotta judge the game based on its content, narrative, gameplay—by judging it on external factors such as fps or PC-availability you're severely hurting the reliability of its rating.
    If you're in the second demographic who thinks the game is too slow, it's probably because you're used to playing fast-paced games. Rocket League, God of War, Fortnite, etc.

    YES, RDR2 is a slower game than the aforementioned, but in that slowness is where you find its quality. Its slowness makes you notice the little things around you—the landscape, animals, birds, the changing light. The slowness makes you appreciate the games atmosphere, it makes you feel involved in its world. The fact that you have to ride on horseback to several quest-points is a deliberate choice from R* in getting you to know your fellow characters better through conversation while stressing the world's scale by having you travel the actual distances.

    Releasing a game like this is a very bold move by R* in a time where our attention-spans have become ridiculously short. I'm a firm believer that this approach is good and healthy for the gaming industry and for gamers, demonstrating that games don't have to be over-the-top, unrealistic and FAST in order to succeed. Maybe we can get back to a frame of mind that's not just about a quick fix.

    The pacing of the game will sadly throw some people off. These are people who have this shortened attention-span, are unable to appreciate the beauty of the game-world and the game's excellent writing, but who are interested in games that are more arcade-ish, colourful and crazy. Having different preferences is totally fine. As an example, I personally don't like to play Fortnite. Its art style is not for me and the gunfights too hectic. But that doesn't mean that I can't see its quality on a mechanical level. And just because I don't like this type of game myself, doesn't mean I'm gonna give it a terrible review on Metacritic. It just means I won't review it. Similarly, I think more people reviewing RDR2 ought to consider if it's even a game for them before reviewing it.

    Lastly, I give the game a perfect score, and I do so after much consideration and after having completed 58% of the game. I think it deserves a 10 because no other game has made me feel this much like I wasn't playing a game. The world looks lived in, the NPC's feel human to an almost unsettling degree, and my choices feel like they have impact. And the music is sensational. Sure, the game has some glitches here and there, you can't avoid that with an open world game. But if there ever was a game more deserving a perfect score, it's Red Dead Redemption 2.    … Expand

    1. The gameplay is very mediocre. Shooting feels boring, there's no difference between guns and they all act like water guns. The enemy AI is pretty dumb, the enemies are dangerous only when you are alone and significantly outnumbered.
    2. The storyline is incredibly stupid - the characters act like absolute morons and the dialogs are one big cliche.

    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]
