    Великолепная игра. Стоит каждой потраченной на нее копейки. Потрясающая иммерсивность происходящего. С ужасом думаю о том, что когда-нибудь она закончится. Спасибо разработчикам.

    Easily one of the best games of this generation. Gunplay is spot on, it’s designed to be not just straight auto lock on like other Rockstar games, people are mistaking this for “clunky” controls. The story is wonderful, just the entire game captivates you with it. The features put into it is unbelievable. I absolutely love the missions, still original and fun. Definitely lived up to hype.

The music is orgasmic, performances by actors are top-notch, characters feel real and the graphics are the best a console open-world game could offer.

    But, Rockstar Game's outdated mission system and lack of player control during said missions is the only thing that limits Red Dead Redemption 2 to become a perfect game.

    where do I start, been a fan of rockstar games quality for years. Starting with my passion playing GTA on PS1 before it was released in Australia. Since then, Rockstar have continued to provide a new experience with every game they release. Even after the lengthy intro it was worth the build up, the introduction to characters. I'm excited to see where the rest of the story takes me. Thewhere do I start, been a fan of rockstar games quality for years.

    Being a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto games, this is my first entry into any other Rockstar franchise, and I must say I am blown away.

    The natural environment, the pacing, the story-telling, the action, everything in this game seems to be perfect. Without much playtime yet I can already acknowledge that this is by far Rockstar's greatest product to date.

    This is BY FAR the BEST game I've ever played. Nothing seems to get even close to what Rockstar Games did this time. Red Dead Redemption II is a MASTERPIECE.

    2. Story missions are well designed and hand crafted, the level design is really good, always there will be objects where you can take cover and shoot enemies, you can even do stealth but i would say go guns blazing if fan of cow boy movies
    3. The bounty system is well designed, you cannot go rampage in town, the bounty on you head will keep increasing and then you have to pay the money else it will become very tough to even pass through the town.
    4. You can upgrade the camp which gives nice reward, read description carefully to upgrade right things
    5. The detailing in the game is super awesome
    Still haven't completed the game, but so far the game is really one masterpiece hence the rating.

    Red Dead 2 is a game that rewards players through immersion and fantastic gameplay loops. Even the most mundane of tasks such as bathing yourself rewards the player with stamina XP, therefore encouraging the player to 'live' as a cowboy would.

    Each and every single interaction with an NPC feels unique, sometimes leading the player to unexpected surprises later on in the game, from getting a reward from them in another town or their family members hunting you down. What Rockstar has shown is that it can create a world that reacts to the player, and rewards them accordingly, thus feeding more into the immersive gameplay.

    The story feels organic with every character in the gang having a unique and believable backstory. Story quests in the game also naturally tend to lead on from each other, further emphasizing the natural flow of the story and grabbing the player's attention.

    On top of all this, we have the main character; Arthur Morgan. Arthur has grown on me throughout my time with the game and has lead to some quite emotional scenes in the story. The great thing about Arthur is that whichever way you go with the Honor system, Arthur molds perfectly into the embodiment of what the player chooses him to be.

    The game is massive and at first overwhelming, but persuades the player to play at their own pace. I was left with an unforgettable story and the belief that this game genuinely is depicting the old west.

    I'll preface this by saying this game, like the first one, isn't going to be everyones cup of tea. However, I can't believe some of the criticisms I'm reading that are clearly either by people who haven't played the game or gave up after 1 hour, so I want to refute a couple of these.

    If you're reading reviews calling this a glorified movie then I can only assume they never bothered
    I'll preface this by saying this game, like the first one, isn't going to be everyones cup of tea. However, I can't believe some of the criticisms I'm reading that are clearly either by people who haven't played the game or gave up after 1 hour, so I want to refute a couple of these.

    If you're reading reviews calling this a glorified movie then I can only assume they never bothered playing past the (admittedly long - around 2 hours) tutorial. Once you're in chapter 2 where the game really begins, the mission styles are no different from any previous Rockstar iteration, so if you loved those then you'll love this. I'm around 10 hours in and I've gone hunting, fought in gang shootouts, had bar fights, rescued people, stolen stagecoaches etc. and at no point was it a case of me holding X then pressing O, then a cut scene, then pressing X and so on, as others are making out.

    The map is vast and you will spend large periods riding your horse, but it's no different to the first game in that regard. You can take stagecoaches or trains in towns if you'd rather travel quickly, and again contrary to what people are saying on here, there IS a fast travel option (you just need to unlock it).

    The 'chores' such as maintaining health via eating really aren't tedious as people are making out either. You need to eat maybe every 20/30 minutes if that, and all the stats such as stamina and health are improved over time.

    I won't lie, the controls can be a bit fiddly and took some practice. I actually understand the criticism here, but it's a simply a case of getting used to the controls. 10 hours in and they're as natural to me as any other game.

    Quite simply if you loved the first game, then you're probably going to love this. It's taken everything that was great and added to it. The characters are engaging, the story is interesting, the world feels 'alive' and the graphics are the best I've ever seen in gaming.

    This game is brilliant and I'm thoroughly enjoying every minute.

    Best game of all time in my opinion. Unless you're not a fan of the western genre or a triggered pc player who can't play it because you don't have a console, there's no reason to not play his game! The vast open world combined with the frequent mini-missions and favors create an alive and immersive world which could claim 10 hours of your day if you're not careful.

    Hands down best game

This to me is a seminal moment for games going forward and I've been playing games for 20+ years. Graphically it's on par in places with Uncharted 4 and God of War and that's staggering considering this is an open world game. The attention to detail and realism is unmatched and the Wild West backdrop is truly a marvel to behold. This is a game you can truly immerse yourself in, live and breath within it. And the slower movement, heavy shooting, grounded realism, which does take a few hrs to get used to, helps completely to suck you in. Animation also is probably the best I've seen thus far, especially for horse traversal. My only niggle is the controls are a little clunky especially in tight spaces, but other than that RDR2 is a masterpiece.

    Don't take ANY NOTICE of the negative reviews on here. I honestly think I must be playing a different game to those who have written some of the low scores.

    To anyone at R* who may read this I want to thank all of you for having the courage yet again to go against the grain of the industry and for delivering something truly innovative, that moves games as a whole forward. Not just open world games, but every game from major developers full stop should be compared to this level of quality. This is a landmark title, this is the GTA3 of the PS4 era, released in a sea of rinse and repeat games which have flooded this generation of consoles. If you own a console buy this game, heck if you don't own a console get yourself one and and just play this already! 10/10.

If you are a PC gamer then sorry the game is not available (yet) but I'm sure it will come. As a PC gamer myself I really hope it does, to be able to play this on my laptop on a train.... But to be fair to the supposed 'PC Master Race' - you can by a PS4 and this game for about as much as you probably paid for your last graphics card so if you really need to play it now then go get it.

    Anyhow something hopefully helpful, I am loving this game/interactive film/cowboy simulator it is just so immersive and I'm spotting new details I love constantly. It took me a while to get into the pace but once I did I really began to appreciate how beautiful the whole thing is. The graphics the animation, the pace the way it almost seamlessly moves from action to cut scene. The automatic travel system works really well, but be careful not to leave it unattended it can go wrong as I found out when leaving it to get a glass of water, to come back and find myself surrounded by O'Driscals and a dead horse.

    I have put in (too) much time already and just can't get bored there is so much to do and explore you do create your own story as you travel into the game, getting sidetracked while on your way to point b and next thing you know you running through the woods hunting the KKK.

    Anyhow I'm finding the longer I play it the more I love it. Is this Rockstar's finest game? Maybe, probably I don't know yet but it is wonderful. I'm really looking forward to seeing what the online mode has in stall and what content they add. Right now for £50 you are getting an absolute steal it is not perfect but it feels about as close as any game has ever got. Right now though this is a must play single player masterpiece if you like open world games.

    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]
