    The game is absolutely awesome. I loved every part of the main story. The side quests are quite original at the beginning, some of them are really cool. But after a few hours you see the pattern... and gets a bit boring. Also running into someone can make the whole town shoot you.

    This may not be the biggest world or have the best controls but it is one of the best games I have ever played. Every different climate is built beautifully with different species of animals that are almost as realistic as real life. I could go on forever about how amazing this game is but I won't.

    The world created is the best a game has ever achieved, by a big margin. Not only is it huge, it's also extremely complex and filled with life. I did not expect this level of complexity this generation.

    The gameplay is varied and very fun. It gives you mundane tasks in order to get you into the atmosphere but not to the extent where it feels like a chore. And the variety of missions, side-missions and tasks is simply outstanding.

    The story is well crafted, beautifully ties into the previous game, masterfully develops the characters, and ends with a well crafted bang.

The world is massive, and there is plenty to do. From quests, to fishing and hunting, challenges, table games such as poker and dominoes, strangers to meet, races, collectibles, etc. The main story is story-telling at its absolute best. RDR2 makes you care about so many characters in a way most other games fail to.

    This game is incredibly polished (I've encountered very few bugs, and even those were very minor). The Rockstar engine continues to hold up well despite its age, with only the occasional hiccup in frame rate in larger, more dense, areas.    … Expand

Сказать что это игра одна из лучших за всю историю индустрии - ничего не сказать. Даже игрой ее назвать сложно. это скорее произведение исскуства. Я не идеализирую ее, идеальных игр нет, но.... если посмотреть на другие игры, на отношения разработчиков к ним и на то какую рабьоту проделали те самые разработчики я не могу поставить 9-ку. Именно эта оценка достойна игры. 9 тверлых баллов с плюсом. Почему не 10? Потому, что игра не лиршена минусов. За них много сказано. Лично для меня это немного корявое управление (особенно во время лута). Но +1 бал я накидываю разработчикам, которые проделали титаническую работу. Первые 10-15 часов геймплея я не переставал удивляться насколько в игре много проработаных мелочей, как скурпулезно разработики отнеслись к своему детищу. Не оставив без внимания ничего! Как только игра перестала удиивлять своими мелочами у меня открылся рот от сюжетных поворотов. Персонажи игры стали такими близкими. Ты начинаешь им сопереживать. Хотя я не любитель глубокого погружения в виртуальный мир игры эта игра меня очаровала. Мне просто иногда хотелось скакать на лошади и смотреть на местные красоты. Открытый мир превосходен. Вы не найдете здесь ни одной похожей на друг-друга локацию. Природа настолько разнообразна. В общем я могу еще долго осыпать игру комплиментами. Это игра которая действительно оставит свой след в индустрии и в ближаешие годы именно на нее будут равняться конкуренты. Рокстар снова создали шедевр.… Expand

Также несущественный, но все же минус - в игре нету дуэлей по сюжету ( есть что-то на подобие дуэли, но это не то).Слишком затянули игру. Добавлять эпилог было ошибкой.

    A pretty game with a compelling if predictable story, tempered by terrible quality of life mechanics and a control system that could make it feel like playing wearing a pair of welding gloves. Oh and the profanity filters on names even in your single player campaign were no one else will ever see it felt hypocritical coming from a developer like Rockstar.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 on a technical level is possibly the best open world game produced. The Story while not as hard-hitting in total as the original is far better than any comparable game and succeeds in gripping the player emotionally.

The tedious bit in the gameplay such as ,can't craft in bulk, can't buy in bulk, can't buy whole catalogue in one button, maintaining your cores, and oh you have to maintain your horse cores also, and having to equip your weapons again is the biggest nuisance of them all. The fast travel isn't perfect rather a step-back compared to games like Skyrim. The game decides to be realistic than any other game that you couldn't imagine. It may sound like a complement, but no it's a draw-back with this game. Strangers are a side mission addition to this game after you beat the main story, or you can access them anytime you want during the story. I didn't care for this experience, but someone may like this to do something after the story is done or take a break from the main story. The controls for aiming is bad just like the other products i've experienced from Rockstar Games. For the next game please improve the aiming, and the movement. I still don't feel like I have control over the character. Good story, but bad game-play with some complaints that could be addressed with a patch.… Expand

    The amount of padding for time that's added because there's no fast travel is criminal. They made a 20 hour game into 40-60 hours because you have to take your horse everywhere.

    Each mission is rinse and repeat.
    1. Take a 8 minute journey to get to camp.
    2. Start the mission
    3. Ride for 10 minutes to the objective at a snails pace talking about **** you already know

    I believe that they still do not overcome the open world theme that "inaugurated" Zelda Botw, that despite the breaking of arms, you found a thousand and one in the whole map, the issue of doing what you want, it is wonderful and the fantastic of the game helps you in that subject so that you do what you want, all that, and weighing nothing more than 14 Gigas while the network dead 100 plus the download of all these gigas ..

    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]
