    This is one of my favourite games and most probably the best open world game I have ever played. I liked it so much that it put a big shadow on the first game, Red Dead Redemption, which I liked as well.

    The stories of these two games are connected but you can play them separately without ruining your experience. The only reason I would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption first is that
    This is one of my favourite games and most probably the best open world game I have ever played. I liked it so much that it put a big shadow on the first game, Red Dead Redemption, which I liked as well.

    The stories of these two games are connected but you can play them separately without ruining your experience. The only reason I would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption first is that it is a game of the previous generation and it is visually very far away from Red Dead Redemption II.

    Observing graphics, I must say that I have seen better looking games for PS4 but I do not have any problem with that because there are other stuff in this game that are superb. The first one is the story, which is very exciting and it kept me attached to it till the very end. And even after the end there is decent and not so short epilogue to go through.

    Side missions and side content is very good. It is very seldom that I am satisfied with side missions and side content in open world games but in this game it is well done. You can really lose yourself in the world and accidentally find something that will lead you to some side story. Those side quests were mostly very interesting and I managed to complete a lot of them even though I am not a guy who is crazy about hunting 100% completion.

    This game has some pretty realistic stuff in its gamplay. For instance, you will have to be careful when climbing mountains because you can fall and hurt yourself very easily. The same is when riding a horse. And you will have to take care of your horse; to feed it, clean it otherwise its behaviour might change and it won't respond to your commands. You will have to take care of yourself es well. You must eat and drink, you are able to lose and gain weight. You have to take care about what you wear because your character can feel warm, cold or hot. For the most of the time you will be a part of the gangster camp and you will have to take care of it as well; to be sure that there's food, medicine and weapons and ammunition for your people. It is all really well done, it is not complicated but I was able to spend hours and hours just living in this world without doing any concrete mission or progressing the main story.

    What is unbelievably good in this game is that developers had so small amount of copy-paste work done. To make an example, when you aren't on a mission and you are just walking around and listening to what other people speak around, you can really hear so many things, even the whole stories. I think I only twice realised that someone on the street said the same thing that someone else said somewhere else before. You really have no idea what can you find in this game while riding around.

    Apparently, there is some sort of online campaign too but I haven't played it yet so I cannot comment it.

    I am a great fan of the Red Dead Saga, but this game has changed everything. In my opinion it's absolutely perfect. But, i realize that it is not a game that everyone will enjoy it.
    It became in my favorite videogame so far.

    El mejor videojuego de la generación, rockstar consiguió que empatizaramos con Arthur, así que su muerte me dolió , la jugabilidad es lenta pero magnífica, el mundo es increíble y la historia es una obra maestra.

    Più di un gioco, un esperienza unica e indimenticabile! In 25 anni da gamer, mai nessun’altro titolo mi ha coinvolto così tanto. Eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista, sceneggiatura e comparto tecnico in primis. Dopo l’esperienza con RDR2, i videogames non saranno più gli stessi...

    Это моя любимая игра на пс4. Она мне не кажется скучной или слишком реалистичной. У игры гигантский открытый мир, отличный сюжет, интересные побочные задания и т.д. Единственное что мне не понравилось, это система достижений на пс4. Чтобы получить платину надо играть также в rdr online, а онлайн у этой игры мне показался скучным.Это моя любимая игра на пс4.

    This is not just a game, this is a piece of art. Thank you for the perfect mechanics & balance, stunning graphics and a new heartbreaking story. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sometimes I think that only Rockstar cares about players now days. The job this studio done...is beyond words. The only problem I have... after "RDR" other games seem...weird.

    A game in which you can live. A game in which you disappear for several hours. It happens that you go on a mission, and only after 2 hours you realize that you are somewhere in the forest with a hunter or you are fishing by the lake, but you still haven’t reached the story mission. This is the beauty of the game. Graphics and animations are also at the highest level. The game has flaws.A game in which you can live. A game in which you disappear for several hours.

The fightings seems too arcade, there is no hard mode in which there will be hunger and other mechanics complicating the life. But if you do not forgive the flaws of this game, then who to forgive?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly this game is a technical masterpiece and a mark of gaming forever, the game's story is so good:

    Arthur Morgan as a character is incredible and his silky smooth voice is great, his death felt right and his redemption arc was very greatly written (if you had good honor and chose to save John).

    The game's side missions and random encounters are funny and weird when they have to be.

    The graphics are breathtaking from the deserts of New Austin to the swamps of Lemoyne.

    Micah's death was very satisfying and sets the stage for the first game, saying that the government didn't have leads on Dutch because Micah died.

    This is an excellent game, good graphics, great characters and a great story, that holds you to the end, well done and that respects everything that was created previously.

    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]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
