    I was not a fan of the series. Preordered the special edition hardcopy as I got totally excited from previews and leaks. Graphics, world physics and game mechanics are all top tier. What i did not like that much was the story's slow progress, the lack of meaningful side quests and open world exploration rewarding and finally the disappointing multiplayer mode.

    This game has the best graphics I’ve seen on PS4. The Detail and options are limitless from all the violence to everything more subtle too. I used to play games getting to the end wishing there was more but with this there is more and plenty to ring all the desire of more out of you and still leave you with more to do.

    Love this game, it's the best game ever made. The gameplay, mechanics and realism is incredible. Lot's of kids complain about the realism, but that what makes RD2 amazing along with the incredible story and graphics.

    tl;dr: RDR2 may be impressive from production values standpoint, but Rockstar's obsession with detail and gameplay systems that just pad the game or add complexity for complexity's sake took away a lot from my enjoyment of the game. The epilogue also feels rather pointless and drags on for way too long for what little plot it has.

The epilogue also feels rather pointless and drags on for way too long for what little plot it has.

    Considering the scale of the game, the attention to detail is quite impressive. While not on the level of Uncharted 4, RDR2's scale makes it the greater achievement. When the game takes shortcuts in production, however, it becomes way more obvious than it would if the game took a more relaxed attitude towards presentation and immersion. For instance, when you dismount a horse and your weapons magically "attach" to you, or when shoveling manure onto a wheelbarrow the "product" moves as one stiff lump.

    Inconveniencing the player for the sake of "immersion" is also not that great of an idea. Your horse magically teleporting to you at the end of many of the story mode missions is proof that, at the end of the day, the devs must've understood that the usual videogame approach of spawning your horse at a touch of a button is the preferable solution, yet proceed to inconvenience the player all the other ways. The game, at its core, is the apex obsession with gameplay systems that just pad the game or add complexity for complexity's sake, which has been escalating since as far back as GTA: San Andreas. In RDR2 there are systems such as hair growth, changing body weight, horse hygiene and the need for weather-appropriate clothing. All that pointless complexity also resulted in overly elaborate controls.

    The game also didn't know when to end on a high note. The epilogue feels rather pointless and drags on for far too long for what little interesting story it has to offer.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the greatest game of all time. From the sprawling open world, to the amazingly written characters, the stunning graphics and Arthur Morgan’s western tale from a savage gunslinging outlaw to a man wishing that he’d lived his life a lot differently, making him one of my favourite characters in gaming history. This isn’t even mentioning the sheer amount of content Rockstar Games developed over 8 years, this includes countless amounts of random encounters, stranger missions, mystery’s and treasure hunts. If you haven’t played this masterpiece, you are truly missing out on something special.… Expand

    In my opinion, Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite better than its predecessor because a specific reason: Arthur Morgan.

Arthur’s development is magnificent, making the player to empathize with him during his evolution along the game. His relationship with the members of the Van der Linde gang is really interesting, with some funny situations.
    In order to avoid spoilers, the main history starts pretty well, but during the middle chapters lose some interest. Despite this, the game has a good rhythm until finished it.
    The world is huge, full of missions and things to do (hunting, fishing, bounty hunter, side quests, etc.). The level of detail in the graphics is overwhelming. Maybe one of the best in all the generation. Do not forget to mention the soundtrack, which is pretty good, especially in some emotional moments.
    The game gives you the chance to play it in 1º or 3º person. In my case, I only played in 3º person, so I can’t say a lot about the other mode. Arthur’s moves are very realistic, as well as the horses he has. The shooting and duels phases are very dynamic, but I found some fails in the cover system. Like in the first game, the Dead Eye system will be our best friend during these situations.
    It is a spectacular game, which will delight all the fans and a great chance to get in the Wild West created by Rockstar.    … Expand

    Wow. I cannot say enough about this game. I don't even know where to start. For me, RDR2 is the greatest game I have ever played in a lot of ways. Here are a few:

    Characters/Story: I'll start out by saying this - yes, the story is a bit predictable but only because if you played the first RDR, you know where some of these characters end up. (I'm only mentioning this because I've seen    Wow. I cannot say enough about this game. I don't even know where to start. For me, RDR2 is the greatest game I have ever played in a lot of ways. Here are a few:

    Characters/Story: I'll start out by saying this - yes, the story is a bit predictable but only because if you played the first RDR, you know where some of these characters end up. (I'm only mentioning this because I've seen quite a few reviews harping about the story's "predictable" timeline). And while I agree that it's pretty easy to see where it's going by the time you're about halfway through, it's how we get there that defines this campaign's prestige. I've never been so engulfed by the main character(s) of a video game and their stories than I was with Arthur Morgan and the rest of the gang. Their histories, friendships, inside jokes, and personalities are all encompassed throughout the story, and it all culminates to a fitting, beautifully written ending in the final chapter. I felt like I was really a part of this gang and it brought out real emotions when something happened, good or bad. The cut scenes are breathtaking, and sometimes it's easy to forget that you have a controller in your hand because of Rockstar's commitment to a cinematic experience. The story is rich from start to finish, and even after hundreds of hours playing, you will only be wishing for more.

    Setting: I'm sure everyone has heard about the size of RDR2's map by now. And the beauty. So I won't go on and on about it. It's huge. It's breathtaking. It's gorgeous. And at times, it's even terrifying. No other game lives up I will promise all new players one thing. You will have AT LEAST one (probably more) moment during your campaign, where you stop for a minute or two and just say to yourself "Damn". For me, it was the first thunderstorm I witnessed while I was roaming the plains and the first time I trotted into bustling Saint Denis.

    Details: Pay. Attention. It's not super critical to the advancement of the main plot, but you WILL be rewarded with hints, theories, and simply entertaining interactions if you pay attention to things like background conversations, posters on walls, animals in the distance, etc. For example, there's a background convo in one of the towns where 2 neighbors argue about a barking dog that makes me crack up every time. If you're one that likes to flesh out little details like this, you will be rewarded!

    I could go on and on. I've already remembered several things to add to the paragraphs above, but for the sake of time and character-length I will leave those things for you to discover. I will just leave you with 7 simple words that my best friend gave me almost 2 years ago. YOU SHOULD BUY RED DEAD REDEMPTION TWO. The world is vast and daunting at first, but if you're up for the challenge, this game will not disappoint.

    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]
