    I don't normally play video games that are heavily story orientated, as I can almost always get a much better story experience from a movie or a tv show, however the character writing and artistic choices this game makes combines the developing characters slowly building over a long period of time, such as tv shows like breaking bad, whilst combining the cinematic scope found in movies.I don't normally play video games that are heavily story orientated, as I can almost always get a much better story experience from a movie or a tv show, however the character writing and artistic choices this game makes combines the developing characters slowly building over a long period of time, such as tv shows like breaking bad, whilst combining the cinematic scope found in movies. This also has beautiful art inspired by paintings of that era with sprawling landscapes and stylised skies. This is combined with a fun combat system, which although could have done with more options provides a great amount of pleasure to be had. It isnt quite as expansive of an open world as a game like breath of the wild, where your choices feel truly individual to you, however if you have played that you know that the story kinda sucks and thats where this outshines it. In conclusion its very hard not to love this game with its options for hunting, crafting gunplay etc and provides a truly immersive and hard to hate world alongside realistic characters and writing. This is what video games are all about and is one of my favourites in this ever changing art form.… Expand

    This game is truly a masterpiece. I can't believe that a game can be so well done. Everything about it is amazing.

    The game is beautiful, you yourself have a special bond with the charachters like you would dislike some but like others. Depending on how you look people would comment on it like if your bloody people will get creeped out. The game is funny at times but emotional as well

    This game is one of the best I've played, it has everything that a person who enjoys games with good stories could have. I've seen many reviews with a low-rating, ofcourse it's personal opinions, but most of the reviews that I'm reading are from players who didn't play for long.

I personally didn't like the first chapter, but I kept playing and I was greatly rewarded with the chapters after chapter 1.

    About the controls. Yes it feels slow, but what did you expect? It isn't a Call of Duty game or a modern shooter. You can't run around with the pace of a Ferrari, it is realistic.

    About shooting. I understand why people didn't like the shooting, I agree with the auto-aim problem which is too much. But it has everything that a good western shooter should have.

    About the reviews of the empty world. For those with a review about the empty world, you shouldn't have bought this game. IT IS A WESTERN, what the hell did you expect? It isn't 2020, in my opinion it has the perfect amount of places to visit things, things to do etc. In about every mile or so you have a stranger mission or an easter egg or something like that. Also the amount of people say that you have to travel too much is just absurd. Ofcourse it takes a long time, but in that time you can truly appreciate the details and the amazing graphics of this game.

    This game is the best you can get for a western and a game in general, go and purchase it you won't regret it.    … Expand

    Look, this video game is exactly what I was looking for the past 3 years to play. It’s open world is amazing and beautiful. People have complained that in the missions the game does not give you enough creativity and I believe it is because the game has an intentional story to tell.

The story of a man facing his own mortality and changing for the better. This is obviously not an uncommon story to tell but in this medium it creates the best piece of video game entertainment I have ever experienced. In terms of storytelling, this simply ranks in my top 3 including movies, tv shows, and video games. No video game can ever top this. Since finishing I have tried to find other video games that can fill the hole that’s missing now. It can’t be done. It’s the perfect setting and perfect execution. I’m no rockstar fanboy either I just truly adore this game specifically. Their formula is flawed but in this game it finds perfection.… Expand

The tragic story of Arthur Morgan and the Van Der Linde gang was told so masterfully. The game is open world, but you can pretty much play RDR2 as a linear game and just focus on the main and stranger missions. My suggestion is to play all the stranger missions, except for the collection missions, because the stranger missions do come into play and tell you more about Arthur himself. Read Arthur's journal occasionally after each mission to know what Arthur thinks about everything that happened. Play as honorably as possible as it is meant to be played. But if you choose to explore the open world, prepare to get your minds blown as it throws all other open world games out of the water. There's so many side content that it's best to find it all online. The story is where it's at for RDR2. One of the best narrative games, period.… 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]

    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]
