    Stop complaining about how slow the movements or how much chores you have to go trough jeeez!!
    This game is like real life, you don't jump around forever like an idiot, you don't run at super speed like a superhero c'mon wake up.

    An adult video game. The realism brings the immersion home for me and I have never seen a more beautiful game. This game is very slow paced, but to it's benefit. There is no GTA ridiculousness here thank god. I will be playing this game for many years both online and off. Stop and smell the roses, its the more realistic open world experience ever made. People who dont like it are mouth breathers!

    Let me start by saying there could be spoilers in this....

    You spend the first 1.5-2 hours doing a glorified tutorial...

    This game looks great, a little less then i thought it would being in 4k and having HDR content, but great non the less.

    Character movement is a bit clunky, traveling takes forEVER! (The train is your friend!!!!)

    But overall so far, i LOVE the feel of the game, i love the gameplay in general. The story is kind of all over the place so far, not sure exactly what is happening, but im sure there will be a big pay off in the end.

    My last point, is to anyone who put in a review day one... either positive or negative, they are HIGH... They can not realistically put a review as that would not have been nearly enough content to justify it. This game evolves at a slower rate of gaining new abilities and activities, and that just wouldnt have been enough time. I dont even feel my review is fair to an extent hence the reason for the 9 when i damn sure thing it will end up a SOLID 10 in the end.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Beautiful world that is alive with animals and npcs that offer the player opportunities to play the game as they wish. A few of the controls are clunky - sometimes I'll tackle a close pedestrian instead of hopping on my horse as I intended - but once you get use to them, the freedom of choice offered to the player transcends most other open world games.

    The main plot isn't a witcher 3 masterpiece, but it fits the game perfectly and allows you to play as you wish without feeling like your breaking the overarching narrative, but rather you feel like you're enhancing it.

    The consequences, however, don't feel as rewarding. If you play an evil character, you'll see a few benefits - some people will run in fear rather than fight you and you might have an easier time robbing - but it's easy to pay off bounties and it's as if murdering half a town is fine as long as you pay. Playing a good character is a bit better, but not by much.

    Overall, I think just the exploration of the world is fun enough, with the story and the character paths just being icing on the cake.    … Expand

    I don't get what so special about this game besides its amazing story, best graphics of this gen, the most perfect open-world that seems to have no end, captivating characters, excellent music, clunky but functional mechanics, slow but involving pace and really fun activities. I think I need to play another 40 hours this weekend to figure out what people like about this game so much.

    There is a lot to do, collect, explore, etc. I walked into a random bar the other day and somehow got on this 4 part mission. Sweet.

    If you like attention to detail, good storylines and a game that requires patience and exploring; this game is for you.
    But if you are someone who needs to beat the game and complete 27 missions in one day, go play COD stories.

    I knocked it a point just because controls can be a little touchy and confusing sometimes, and there are minor glitches in the game. But i'm sure after a while these will be fixed/you get used to it.    … Expand

From its main story/side missions, graphics, voice acting, and currently the most realistic environment, it stands amongst any action rpg game of its kind. The option from choosing between first person and third person view adds great element to the quality of gaming and also strategic advantages from switching between the two while playing. Any casual or hardcore gamer will appreciate the design and creativity of being a rebel cowboy during the end of the old west and seeing your character develop and building relationships with his gang as you progress through the whole game. The freedom of decisions and moving away from the main story is the most intriguing element of the title. Having the oppurtunity to roam, rob, hunt, playing poker etc allows any gamer to have endless hours of gameplay while not worrying about completing the story in order to receive that satisfaction of accomplishment. The game does allow new users to be introduce into the red dead redemption world without feeling empty or confused if you did not have the oppurtunity to play the first title. This allows new gamers unfamilar with the franchise to start the game play as if he or she needs to purchase the first title to feel complete while playing the game. One of the best games ever to be created. In the future it will be related to the legends of video games that will be in the discussion of best ever or best of its time.… Expand

    - Great Graphics, seriously the graphics around Rhodes is just amazing.
    -Great voice acting
    -Great Gameplay
    -An extreme amount of depth
    -Great twists in the story (the journey is great)
    -Extremely good main character development

    Cons:
    - Can't run in camp and some other places. The game cherry picks what is wants to be realistic about, and this is one of them. Except it isn't to the benefit of the player or to anybody. Maybe they did it to try and extend the average players playtime.

    - Delayed shooting. With some guns, you will find that you have to first press the fire button to pull back the hammer, and then press the fire button again to fire. But a lot of times I would press the fire button to pull back the hammer so I could line up a shot, only to have it fire for me afterwords, which resulted in me dying multiple times.

    -Unlikable characters, at least at the beginning. Compared to the first Red Dead Redemption, these characters are a lot more cold-blooded. They will kill innocent people for the stupidest reasons. They then seem to try and redeem them by bringing in social issues. Great, so our main character isn't a racist, that cool, but I fail to see how that compares to mass murder. It just doesn't make sense that the whole world is bigoted except for our character. At least in the first red dead redemption, Marston killed because he wanted to get back to his family, in this game it really just comes down to greed though.

    Predictable ending- This isn't to say that the ending was bad. All I can say is that it could have easily been better. When I beat the game, I was angry, because I didn't think Rockstar would be so predictable. If you have played the first game and have a prediction about how this game is going to end, you are probably correct. Even though the ending was predictable, they could have at least made it meaningful (like the first rdr), they could have at least made it satisfying. All it really feels like though is a kick in the nuts.

    Camp Upgrades are pointless- sure fast travel is cool, but raising the happiness of people didn't really have a benefit, i never found myself needing ammo off my cart, or medicine, or even food. The camp system in this game is just something to motivate you to earn money, and then spend it.    … Expand

    There is so much to do! Hunting, challenges, robbery, bounty hunting, treasure hunting and of course, the incredible story!

    I see many bad reviews complaining about clunky controls and spamming X to run, yet in the settings you can change to the standard L3 FPS experience which I love! The controls are also pretty much GTA, moderated to the western open world!

    The world is insanely beautiful and really has a soul and story behind almost everything! I personally can not put this game down!

    Complaints about frame drops don’t occur with my game ever and the aim assist is completely customisable as many people complain about that! The deadeye feature is awesome and really fun and smooth!

    The slow style of the game is historically accurate and relaxing which I love, yet you can also go on a high speed train robbery and shoot up half a town!

    Sure the bounty system can get a tad annoying but unless you have just started the game and are super broke it is simple to just pay it off!

    Horses are incredible and when I lost my horse and couldn’t get it back I was devastated, which proves how interactive this game is! There are many species of horse with different speeds, styles, attributes and builds. ( You can also name them which I love!)

    It is impossible to get bored in this game as I get lost searching for some 200 species of animal, almost 40 species of fish, and almost 100 guns and weapons with constant Easter eggs and tiny side missions to distract you on your horse journeys which can get repetitive, but fast travel is easy to acquire early on and trains cost $2 or $3 but can get you anywhere!

    The map is so diverse with big bustling cities, smaller community-based town and farms and homesteads scattered around! Deserts, swamplands, urban areas, snowy mountains and beautiful animal-filled plains cover the map which makes it hard to get bored of the map.

    Rockstar has done it again and anyone giving negative reviews are either PC players just jealous of this amazing game, want the game for the wrong reasons or have played only 1-2 hours of the slow-paced yet fun and informative prologue!

    If you like an interactive and diverse open-world, incredible stories and just want a new game that isn’t a battle Royale, this is definitely the game to have!    … Expand

RDR2 on the other hand completely breaks the mould that open world games have been set in for a long time. The way they blend cinematic style moments and game play is amazing . The way the music drifts in and out matching the things you are doing in the world really enhances the experience. The excitement of old world gun fights and surviving of the land really makes this game a standout in this generation.
    As this is a Rockstar game the controls and movement leans closer to realism over twitch accuracy and when I first experienced this movement in GTA 4 and Max Payne 3 I found it off putting, but as I adapted to it (as intelligent people are able to do), I have found it to be incredibly intuitive and gives the overall game play a level of immersion and satisfaction that you dont find often in control schemes. Riding a horse through this world is an experience in itself, it is the most realist interpretation of horse riding and care, ever in a game and as this is set in the old west you spend a lot of the time on horse back and every time I mount the horse and giddy him up there is a sense of enjoyment.
    I have found a couple of negatives with the game, firstly on the PS4 pro the game uses a strange filter or dithering effect to run the game at a higher resolution, its really detracts for the beautiful game world at times and I really hope the give an option to lower the resolution for a crisper image in the future. The other issue is (Tap A rapidly to move fast) having to tap the A button rapidly to sprint and Gallop does add to the sense on movement and urgency in the game, but it isnt worth it for the carpel tunnel you get in your hand, I am getting on in years and I have to stop playing this game due to the pain it causes in my hand. There is also the issue of the realism of the controls and the animation making it a chore to control Aurther, there feels like many cheap deaths when Aurther dosent do what you expect because he is reacting to some random object in the environment and all the small animation add up to being extremely irritating to watch after a time.
    The size of the world, the graphics, the psychics, everything is this game has level of polish and attention to detail that puts every game before it shame. They have really spared no expense or time to get the most from the Wild West world they have created and only the simplest and toxic of minds would be able to say this game is anything less than Amazing.    … 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]
