    Yes this games graphics are beautiful, yes this game has compelling and well written characters and yes this is probably the most detailed game I have ever played.

However this game suffers from being far to long and repetitive. I normally would like a really long game however there needs to be some feeling of progression i.e. unlocking new items.The controls and shooting are still outdated since rockstar refuses to update them. There is a such thing as trying to make a game too realistic, so many of the survival and side mechanics are just annoying and can ruin enjoyment. You can no longer have the fun you could in red dead 1 (i.e. lassoying someone up) as someone will just see you and will inform the lawman. This game just went way to far in the realism department and it ruined a lot of the fun for me. To conclude, this game could have been great but they ruined a lot of the fun with over tedious animations and mechanics. This makes me genuinely worried about GTA 6.
    pros:
    -great graphics
    -well written characters
    -excellent detail to small things
    -interesting story for most of the game

    cons:
    -far too long story
    -no progression such as unlocking new skills or items
    too realistic (i.e. having to eat, feed you horse, drink other elixsars)
    -animations can be too slow and tedious
    -shooting (mainly aiming) does not feel good
    -controls that should have been updated a long time ago
    -hat constantly fall off
    - animals have different conditions (which just makes hunting more annoying)
    -constantly unequips weapons and puts the on your horse    … Expand

    An interesting, if dour, story hampered by unforgivably clunky game mechanics.

    Inventory, weapons selection, looting, horse riding, crafting and even eating are mired with unnecessary animations, work and awkwardness. Its like the game has been designed from the ground up to prevent the user from having any fun. Every little task or challenge is laden with an excessive cost in    An interesting, if dour, story hampered by unforgivably clunky game mechanics.

    I legitimately started feeling like this game was a second job - a chore laden slug from start to finish.

    Which is a shame.

    Brilliant story, and character development throughout the story as it unfolds. Strongly recommend this game to anyone who is fond of open-world, and the Wild Wild West.

    Finally played it this year, did not understand the hype. Shoot some people, listen to Dutch say, "I got a plan", then move camp, repeat. It gives no incentive to try to go hunting or interact with the open world.

    My heart is filled with warmed then instantly ripped apart by the realisation of how things ended. The fun missions, character developments, Oh Arthur Morgan. It's all part of the experience & makes this such an impactful game, emotionally, & mentally. Amazing graphics & gameplay that merely complement its touching story.

    Everything is pretty much stellar. My only (but significant) critique is about the Rockstar formula, where there is open world in which I can be a stellar citizen, only to be showed in the shoes of a borderline serial killer in the cutscenes. This false freedom really rubs me the wrong way.

    O jogo é lindo, e muito interessante, mas é extremamente chato e cansativo. Sem contar que o gameplay é muito básico.

    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    … Expand

    I know it is a bit late for reviewing but there are some people who buy the game during covid-19 so lets start:
    After finishing the game 4 times and playing it for over 100 hours and reaching %100 completion once I can easily say that this game is a masterpiece. If you havent experienced it yet I highly recommend to play it. Now lets get into Pros and Cons.
    Pros: -Massive Open World.    I know it is a bit late for reviewing but there are some people who buy the game during covid-19 so lets start:
    After finishing the game 4 times and playing it for over 100 hours and reaching %100 completion once I can easily say that this game is a masterpiece. If you havent experienced it yet I highly recommend to play it. Now lets get into Pros and Cons.

    Pros:
    -Massive Open World.
    -Very good story (better than some movies)
    -Your clothing is very customizable.
    -Many gun choices.
    -Impressive Graphics.
    -Character development is pretty good.
    -You can buy upgrades to your camp which makes some difference (some are just cosmetic and some affect exploration/gameplay)
    -There is fast travel (you need to buy fast travel upgrade from camp which costs 300$) or you can use trains.
    -You wont get into a melee fight often but when you do it is satisfying but easy.
    -There are many side activities and side missions.
    -Combat and blood effects are so satisfying.
    -Physics are very realistic.

    Cons:
    -Law is too strict you can be wanted just by accidentally bumping at someone.
    -Combat can get repetetive after a while.
    -There arent that much bounty missions unlike Red Dead Redemption 1.
    -Some camp upgrades are too expensive and just cosmetics.
    -Controls can be weird at some situations (eg. While mounting your horse you can accidentaly grab someone because thoose are the same buttons.)
    -Aim assist is too strong but without aim assist the game is very hard.
    -This is a problem for most open world games: While looking at the minimap you miss the beauty of the world.

    That's it if you ask me it is worth 60$ if you catch it on a sale it is even better.

    ill star by saying i wasnt the biggest fan of the 1st. mostly cause my disc was corrupted before i finished it and had to watch someone else finish offline. But this game truly is FUN to just do whatever and nothing at the same time. Overall i really enjoyed it although the online left me very disappointed wich is why id give it a 8.6 so a 9/10

    the second game has great presentation and more realism but the story, the pace and the gameplay are so slow and boring, feels more like a 1890s american life simulator than an actual 3rd person wild west shooter

    I LOVE this game. As someone who played through the story 4 times and 100% the game I can say that this is the best story game I have ever played. The game runs very smooth and the tragically are incredible. It may be a little slow at the beginning but it quickly picks up. The online isn’t really my thing, or why I bout the game but it’s still fun.

    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]
