    Amazing game, characters and story. It is better than the first one in every aspect. I loved Arthur Morgan and I think he is one of the best characters in videogame history.
    My only issue with this game is that it is way too long and in some parts it can be boring. I would have given this game an 8.5/10 but since I can`t I will round out to a 9.

    Long start, exciting middle. Didn't really like it while playing, and really missing it couple months after finishing main plot line

    Rockstar put a lot of time and effort into the graphics and story but forgot to make the game fun.

    A masterpiece that won’t be forgotten, Rockstar has done it again! The authenticity and compelling open world western with an amazing story drives this instalment of Rockstar’s to success. A well delivered story and an era-integral sandbox, as well as memorable characters that make the world worth traversing makes this a masterpiece amongst the open worlds. Bravo Rockstar!

    The thing I loved the most is Arthur, an amazing story told and we get to live it through the eyes of Arthure and I got emotionally invested in him, I loved the game play, the music, the pacing and the voice acting was amazing, the graphics is great, can't recommend this enough

Red dead redemption 2; la historia de un forajido que perdió a sus padres a temprana edad, asesinaron a su hijo, no pudo escapar con la mujer que amaba, vio a la mayoría de sus amigos morir, vio a su figura paterna perder la cabeza, pero logró conseguir su redención, ser un humano que ayudaba a los necesitados, salvar a su hermano pero sobre todo... ser un buen hombre.

    Как человеку, который без ума от вестернов, игра мне невероятно понравилась. Колоссальный труд Рокстар не прошёл зря. Впечатляющая работа, фактически игра нового поколения.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game has an interesting story with good characters but is full of strange design choices to make the game artificially slow and clunky. Guns/items are locked behind story progression so you can't buy things listed in stores even though you can afford them. The wanted system seems to be poorly made at times with you selecting one thing and the game doing another or you bump into a corpse and your wanted. All crafting and skinning is slower than it needs to be to make everything feel boring and clunky while pelts,meats stolen caravans and horses seem to be almost worthless for the time involved with stupidly long distances to walk just to hand in a worthless carcass. Random NPC counters can be fun but the developers seem to have coded in passers by for when you want to loot after a quest like people wandering miles fr anywhere in the middle of the night after you've just finished a quest to kill someone purely to get in the way of looting. Just lots of small choices to generally make the game annoying rather than fun for me.

    Buy if on offer for cheap otherwise don't bother

    El juego simplemente me pareció una obra de arte. Voy a enumerar los puntos más destacables:

    Para empezar tiene uno de los mejores gráficos y detalles que ví en mi vida, los cambios de clima son impresionantemente realistas, los animales y plantas tambien. En segundo lugar, está la vida que tiene el mundo, a uno hasta le llega a dar pena matar a un NPC de lo real que se siente, los eventos aleatorios se enlazan de una manera perfecta a la historia principal, me ha pasado un par de veces de haber salvado a una persona y más tarde verlo en un pueblo que me reconozca y me premie por lo que hice. Uno se siente el protagonista en todo momento. Piensa que está ahi.

    Y por último, pero el punto más importante para mi, es la historia. Me parece una de las mejores que he visto, si bien es un poco lenta, está llevada de una manera perfecta, a medida que avanza el juego conocemos más a los integrantes de la banda, nos encariñamos más con unos que con otros, y nos preocupamos por su bienestar, donar al campamento es algo que sale de nosotros. Arthur Morgan, es desde mi punto de vista, el mejor protagonista de videojuegos que ví en mi vida, su evolución a lo largo del juego no podría estar hecha de mejor manera. El desenlace que me tocó a mí, es perfecto.

    Si uno espera un "GTA de vaqueros" se equivoca, es un juego mucho más centrado en la historia, un juego distinto y hay que valorarlo por eso, es un error muy grande a la hora de hacer una reseña compararlo con este juego constantemente.
    Lo recomiendo muchísimo vale la pena cada centavo, es uno de esos juegos que uno piensa que estafo a la compañía y no al revés como estamos acostumbrados.
    Sin duda un juego que me marco.

    El único problema que le veo es el Online, se hace muy repetitivo y carga mucho tiempo, que era un problema que ya se veía en el GTA V. Pero supongo que va a ir mejorando a lo largo del tiempo como el GTA.

    Lo único que es mejorable es el online se hace muy repetitivo y los mismos problemas de carga que en el GTA V, tarda un montón.

    It’s the best most detailed thought out open world ever created. The story is long but never fails to keep you on the edge of your seat.

    Сюжет на 10/10. На прохождение всреднем уходит 60 часов, но я рекомендую задержаться в игре до 6 главы.
    Персонажи все топ.
    Огромный и интересный мир, но совсем немного пустоват. Интересные доп. активности и большое кол-во пасхалок. Графика потрясная, механик огромное количество и все интересные. Отдельно нужно подметить освещение и лучи, при том, что RTX поддержка на PlayStation 4

    Extremely well made game that at times can feel a little too much like a simulator. The amount of time you spend riding your horse across the huge map just to immediately have to go somewhere else after doing one thing is rediculous. The game is beautiful and the story is good, but man can the game drag.

    An addictive game with amazing graphics, great story and lots of details. It took about 50 hours to complete the story, but I could play up to 11 hours in one game because the game is very addictive.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I had to give it below 8. I just had to.

    Graphics: 10/10, simply amazing. The amount of detail and the quality overall is amazing.
    Setting / Atmosphere: 9/10, Towns and wilderness really takes you into wild west, truly feeling you're living in the era. When enter a saloon or a shop, it is authentic.
    Story: 5/10, This is where I was let down. The story is very repetitive in it's terms, I understand you're the prey and always on the run but come on. And when the story starts to make sense you die. All your investment to your personality is down the drain. And you die from tuberculosis. Meh.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I’ve struggled with doing this review for a long time because everyone that I know that has finished the game say it’s a masterpiece and should have been GOTY. The truth is, for me, it just really doesn’t hold up. If you love RDR and think it was a game changer story and gameplay wise, you will see that almost 10 years later, it’s the same game. I’ll try to be brief but consistent with the strengths and weaknesses of the game. Let’s start with the strengths: - Graphics, it does look amazing, but somehow the world didn’t invite to explore (like LoZ: BOTW did; the world Rockstar created didn’t offer a lot of reward for exploring. Just a few Easter eggs or someone to shoot down, nothing intriguing or fascinating, so a no from me. But I can’t deny it doesn’t look **** good. - Character Acting, the actors did a really, and I mean a really good job with acting. - Music, enough said. - Models, lighting and technical stuff. Rockstar obviously know what they are doing, a AAA game should be up to date or maybe set the bar higher, which it did. - Attention to Detail, it is amazing how much stuff you can do in this game. And how much attention to detail went to it, from gun cleaning, to riding horses, to peeing drunk, to the environment, to everything; everything is top notch. Weaknesses: - Controls. Oh boy, my rant about the controls is really something that bothers me. I can’t believe that a game from 2018 has the same controls as GTAIV. IT’S BEEN 10 years Rockstar. It’s clunky, un-smooth, weird, not intuitive and damn right infuriating at times; if I could give 0/10 to something in this game would be the **** controls. It’s just bad, like really bad. - Horse riding. There’s a good percentage of the game that you just go from one location to the other, with no music and no nothing. It’s almost as if Rockstar wanted you to do the cinema mode and watch Arthur ride a horse, also the bad thing is that there’s little to no music while doing this. There were many times were I put my controller down and started looking at my phone. - Story. I know, I know. People love this story, but I don’t. If I wanna play through the story of a cowboy, whose somewhat of a good guy who has done bad stuff, or maybe will do bad stuff to get what he wants, I wouldn’t play RDR2. There’s a far better execution of a similar story, and that’s RDR. At times I knew what was going to happen and I always kinda knew what kind of guy Arthur was. The others members of the gang didn’t really interest me, or I didn’t have any type of investment in them. For me, they were bland and uninteresting; except for Arthur or Sadie. Dutch just kept saying “I have a plan” and the story was “New Camp, don’t do bad things until you did bad thing. Chased, maybe someone died and New Camp”. Rinse and repeat. - AI, or Law system. The game, as other GTA’s tries to tell you that you can do bad things and have fun, you know Rockstar stuff. But in this game even when I wasn’t trying to do bad things or defending myself, I had like 20 lawmen on my ass which was really annoying. Sometimes I couldn’t do a story bit because there was always a witness. Sometimes I would rather not do anything bad at all so I would have to deal with the law after, because in this game it’s really, really annoying killing sheriffs only for far more to appear. - The shooting. It’s helped aim and everything comes down to shooting. You don’t need many guns, just a rifle and a revolver and you can win everything. I didn’t clean my weapons because it didn’t feel necessary, they worked and they got the job done. If you read all that, thank you, in conclusion I just want to say that RDR2 is not a bad game in any means; but it also isn’t ground breaking or offers anything new or better that we haven’t seen before. All that detail to me seems wasted, like you don’t need to eat really, you don’t need to clean your horse or your pistols, you don’t need to hunt or explore. You could just do all the missions and the story would be the same, it seems like Rockstar just put the “open world” to please fans and remind you that Rockstar makes sandbox open world games. Story-wise I thought it was bland and predictable, it had it’s awesome moments but nothing worth remembering. The controls are just a **** mess and hope that they DO understand they need a change for future games. For me it’s a 6/10, this is a world I would not like to revisit, I prefer RDR, BOTW or Horizon. People should really try to keep an unbiased view and play other things before calling them a masterpiece. Hope this review helps you somehow, and if you still want to play the game, I don’t blame you, maybe you’ll have a better time than me. Just wait until it releases on PC or the price is down. Expand

    I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow... I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain... When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift, uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight, I am the soft stars that shine at night...

    I played this Red Dead Redemption 2 as soon as it came out in 2018, and for sure it became one of my favorite games ever. This game is a masterpiece in almost every aspect: graphics, mechanics, storytelling. Rockstar has done it again, always doing a great job! The sentence "Oh, Dutch, I gave you all I had" is stuck in my head till this days

    Excellent game, lost more than one sleepless night. The smallest elaboration of details and trifles, the open world amazes both visually and with various surprises and opportunities.
    The plot of the game more than once will cause a "wow." But I also understand that not everyone will like the game because of the leisurely gameplay and storytelling.

    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]
