    One of the most well written games of all time. The story is engrossing, the world is huge and immersive, and the characters are memorable. The gameplay has some quirks like all rockstar games when played in 3rd person but it never takes you out of the game completely. You could spend 100 hours easy in this game and never have a boring moment.

    The best Rockstar game yet, and as a fan of their titles this game truly floored me with it's incredible visuals, animations and story. The gameplay is much more immersive this time and it's a welcomed change. every interaction in this game feels like a next gen proof of concept; from hunting, robbing and npc behavior.

    **** ALL THE ZERO!
    This is game is nothing close to a zero.
    All those people who gave this game a zero are people who have zero patience. This game is well crafted and well made. The story in this game is very captivating and it keep you engage. Also I know people say the controls are clunky but hear me out ,you have to set the controls to how you see fit and work with it then

    Never liked GTA very much, but this game is excellent. The details, the atmosphere and the dialogue makes this a perfect open world game, so far.

    Unlike all those complaining about the game and how long/slow it takes...that's kind of the point. Also, if your complaining about the bounty system....go get some gold bars. I easily upgraded my camp for fast travel, and have had an absolute blast. I also am not a fan of GTA. Sorry/Not Sorry. This game is both beautiful and gorgeous and has a great storyline.

That being said I feel like 99% of the reviews in the 5-7's are from people who prefer super fast gameplay and doing things without penalty. This is not this game. Be smarter maybe to avoiding the law and avoiding extensive bounties. Expand

    Seriously I don't get how anyone would like to give score less than 9 for this game. This is absolutely masterpiece!!! Best game I ever played. Epic story, most beautiful graphics you can get on ps4 up to date. 90% of games on the market can clean RDR's shoes. Thumbs up!!!

    I've been bashing on Rockstar for years for only doing obvious and typical story, characters and games and never gave them much interest. This game however has completely blown me away and knocked all my other favorite games down a pin. The slow pace and the perfectly captured beautiful environment hooked me first. Then the expansive world and everything hidden in it got me going for ages.I've been bashing on Rockstar for years for only doing obvious and typical story, characters and games and never gave them much interest. This game however has completely blown me away and knocked all my other favorite games down a pin. The slow pace and the perfectly captured beautiful environment hooked me first. Then the expansive world and everything hidden in it got me going for ages. When i finally decided to get the story missions going the game just knocked me out. Was not prepared for it being so well written. Beautifully put together. Milestone in game making and an imposible standard for other companies to follow who now feels ages behind. Hat's off ,Rockstar. Well done. Expand

    its beautiful, the campagne is totally fine and fun, but i fear the possibilities of microtransactions in this game which could negatively affect the multiplayer part of this game. I mean thats the reason why i bought this game. So:
    Campagne: 10/10
    Online: 5/10

    i would rate it like this so far and will update this review when the multiplayer is fully released.

    I'm sorry this game wasn't released on PC, but some games just should be exclusive at least for some time. Red Dead Redemption 2 is actually a revolutionary game on consoles.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 has a solid story, excellent graphics, well crafted atmosphere & atmospheric effects. Attention to Detail is at an other level, horse animations are extraordinary. A lot of effort is put into realism, World is filled with fauna and they will respond accordingly to player interaction e.g birds or grazing animals will escape if you fire at them.

Mud and Blood will wash away if you passes through water etc.
    The game require patience and is slow paced. There are certain things i am personally not a big fan but it didn't bothered me that much.
    Hope Rock Star bring the game to PC, So that i could play it for the 3rd time.

    Jogo incrível, ambicioso, comprometido, gráficos excelentes, detalhes impecável.

    O que destaca a Rockstar é os detalhes, e em RDR 2 o que não falta são detalhes, tudo muito fluido e bem produzido para uma perfeita imersão.

    Este é com certeza o melhor jogo da atual geração de consoles!

The mechanics of the game are very comfortable, the animations feel realistic, even the voice cast did a better job than most Hollywood movie cast. I'm really sad that it's over, but I have to say I'm extremely happy to have had this experience. Whatever I write about this production, which has been meticulously processed to the smallest detail, will not be enough. That's why I decided to leave the fact that "horse testicles creep or shrink depending on whether the environment is cold or hot" and walk away. Expand

Sure the controls may seem outdated to some, but they work fine, and the wheel didn't need to be re-invented for this game, and it is easy to get used to after a couple hours of play. The highlight is the sheer amount of replay-ability to this game, as there are so many side quests to explore and it is just such an enjoyable game to play around in also, and I just couldn't recommend it enough.

    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]
