    In one word awesome! It's not possible playing this game and not stopping every 5 mins to just take the surroundings in just look at the beautiful world rockstar has created. The story one of the best in any game I've ever played and Arthur Morgan will forever be the legend of the west.

Not only is it a work of art but this masterpiece takes you on one of the most thoroughly genuine open world rides I've ever experienced. 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

It has one of the best endings I've ever seen even. The Epilogue is just awesome I was so disappointed when Arthur Morgan died but oh boy din't they just nail that Epilogue with John Marston starting off as ranch worker and eventually showing how he built his own ranch. I spent days after completing the game just to improve my ranch when a game makes you open after beating it's story mode you know it's one of the best game ever. No one can't beat R* on Game design. Can't wait for GTA VI or whatever their next title is :) Expand

The gameplay makes you a part of the world as you really feel how it felt like living as an outlaw in the Wild West from hunting, horse riding, personal care and general interaction with the rest of the world. The graphics are amazing as you see the visuals from how clothing reacts with the environment, how the weather affects the environment to hunting and skinning animals. Lastly the story is powerful with one of the best character arcs you'll ever see in a villain changing for the better. Oh Arthur, how the game made us feel as if you were more real a person than us who played the game. Expand

    A masterpiece. Excellent and refined gameplay. Incredible storytelling. Amazing characters who feel fleshed out and real. The most immersive open world I’ve ever encountered in a video game full of realistic events and interactions. It’s visually and audibly stunning. It truly is the greatest most detailed and well written game I’ve ever played.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Очень большая и жестокая игра. Таких серьезных проектов по пальцам пересчитать и они выходят очень и очень редко. Эта игра стала для меня нечто большим, чем просто проходняк. После основной сюжетной линии я продолжаю играть в сюжетный режим, любоваться горами, пустыней и вообще фауной игры. Я следу за людьми, разговариваю с ними и натыкаюсь на различных странствующих ковбоев. Как жалко, что век их истек и игра передала это очень и очень хорошо. Когда наступает конец игры, то у тебя появляется еще одно маленькое, не законченное дело - проехаться по могилам тех, кто отдавал за правое дело жизнь. По могилам своих друзей. Игра научила меня, научила помогать тем, кто этого действительно прости, а главное помогать родным в любой ситуации. Чтобы не оставаться на грустной ноте, то если вы дочитали до этого момента, то я скажу только одно: I have a plane ;) Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game of all time, it's a masterpiece but it still has flaws, let me talk about this game

    The Good: The graphics are pure eye candy, there are so many little details you will miss The Story is masterful, it can get you so emotional at times and every character in the gang is memorable Arthur Morgan is an INCREDIBLE protagonist and I cannot talk
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is my favorite game of all time, it's a masterpiece but it still has flaws, let me talk about this game

    The Good:

    The graphics are pure eye candy, there are so many little details you will miss

    The Story is masterful, it can get you so emotional at times and every character in the gang is memorable

    Arthur Morgan is an INCREDIBLE protagonist and I cannot talk about it without spoilers so you have to see for yourself

    The Open world is not your average copy paste Ubisoft game, it is on par with The Witcher 3 in my opinion and the side quests are incredible

    The Bad:

    Rockstar has often advertised red dead as being realistic but imo the gameplay is a bit too realistic, everything becomes slow and clunky and simple things like looting take too long and become tedious as the game progresses, the shooting is especially clunky because the cover system sucks and the camera keeps shaking and you can't shoot straight

    There is one chapter which is small but feels very pointless and makes the pacing worse

    Even with all these issues imo, Rdr2 is a masterpiece of a video game

    My heart and soul belongs to our boah Arthur! ❤ THE best game there ever is, and ever will be in our lifetime. It's become a global phenomena, and it's like Arthur has become alive and a real person in our hearts, and the Vanderlinde Gang our family. Much more than a game, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a way of life xxx

    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.

    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]
