    RDR2 is awesome game. In fact, I didnt know, if I'll like it mostly cause I didnt expect nothing about, and it was greater good for me. I really enjoy it.

    RDR2 represents a lot of dramatic-self-story, and a whole world to explore. Great things and poor things....you choice what to do, and when to do. Its a freedom game, like other ones of Rockstar.

    10/10

    Great game, if slightly overrated. The immersion in this game is a bit hit or miss for me to be honest. The story somewhat lackluster at times. The gameplay however is very fun for the most part.

    TBH after several hours of gameplay the game seems kinda boring. Too many systems to learn, too many shortcuts to memorize. I don't really care about the characters and the story.
    However the most annoying thing is the rockstar launcher that is launched by the epic launcher. So there are 2 launchers starting just to play the game.

It excels in a way where people are not able to mention many (or any) other game with such a story and level of detail. The writing of the characters is fantastic, just to mention my absolute favorite, Dutch, and the main protagonist Arthur. By fact, Dutch’s charisma makes him my all time favorite video game character. From beginning to end, following him and his community/gang in the eyes of Arthur Morgan is a unique experience that no other game has been in a position to be. Artistically speaking, I cannot think of something that is not perfect with RDR2. The whole decently large open-world is visually stunning, full of random events and things to explore. It would take a while for a novice gamer to notice any pattern of similarities. That’s what crazy about RDR2: detail. Visuals, sounds, interactions with the world (to and from), everything is made with an extreme level of detail and finesse. That aspect of the game helps immersing the player as from the beginning, and might improve retention during the slow first 2-3 chapters.

    In what regards the gameplay, the result is very good as well. Character handling, horse handling and weapons all feel nice. It’s not overly responsive, but just enough to have a good gaming experience without ruining immersion/realism. In terms of things to do, I wasn’t bored for a second during my progression. There are so many things to do in RDR2 without ever feeling repetition. However, once the main game is finished (main missions + honest deal of side missions/activities) what’s left to grind for is repetitive. All that said though, I can easily conclude that RDR2 is one of the best solo games I have ever played.

    That brings me to my next point which is where I think R* screwed up: Red Dead Online. I am one of those players who at this day still consistently plays GTA Online because of how good it is (sure has defaults and things we hate like all those OP too unrealistic vehicles, but I cannot lie to myself, I’ve played it hundreds of hours). GTAO has an extremely developed free roam mode, with constant major updates and a ton of things to own and grind for. It also has a ton of lobby based activities among which some are now already pure classics among my circle of friends (Sumo, Offensive Defense, etc). I close the parenthesis which introduces my point: RDO terribly lacks of content. My friends and I were hoping for so much, we imagined crazy ideas based on what we believed R* learned from GTAO, but it ended up being a disappointment. It sure is super fun to wander around in the first hours (especially if you don’t know the map yet), doing the few story missions and completing some activities (all updates included), but after that, there is nothing really more to do. For the purists, that might even have still been fine, but then comes the worst: RDO servers. The trashest, most unstable ever made servers. How many times did I get disconnected once, twice, 5 times, 10 times in a single day? Way too many. Even GTAO which is far from being the perfect student on this, works way better. It is irritating at a point where you want to pray in order not to get any disconnection. I know this issue doesn’t just happen to me, but to a very high fraction of players.

    This is why my rating has to be balanced with a player’s priorities. Someone who doesn’t care about RDO at all will probably find arguments to justify a 10/10 rating. But if you are one of those who had high hopes for RDO, then you might think a 7 or 8 would be more justified. I am part of those who love both solo and online. I can’t see myself giving anything less than 9 to such a solo masterpiece, but I cannot give a 10 due to frankly disappointing online features. I hope R* or any other dev studio will be able to create such magnificent games in the future. But without overlooking the online components, it’s even better!    … Expand

    I really tried liking this game, but I don't have any strength left to actually finish the game. I've been playing for 30 long hours of never-ending chores, riding my horse and tapping x. I feel actually sad. The graphics are stunning, the voice acting is great and I like some of the characters, but the game is just too long ad boring.

But Red Dead Redemption is one of those very few games that I can't bring myself to remove from my PS4, I keep wanting to go back, I keep wanting to be a part of that sprawling open world, to search for any tiny thing i might have missed, to search for more...of everything.
    Video games, although amazing in their own right, rarely draw you in like a good book or an awesome movie does. making you invest in the characters and care what happens to them. Maybe it's the fact that in video games your character can die 50 times along the way and still come back, they can take 5 bullets to the chest and somehow still win the fight, so the outcome of a story can be somewhat disjointed. But sometimes you can play a game, and be totally immersed into that world, and character that you can't put it down.
    Describing the world of Arthur Morgan can never do it justice, its beautiful, massive, alive, mysterious and full. it's a toy box of small and big stories and characters. it looks and feels like a window into the past, down the tiniest details. Rockstar has always delivered rich and interesting worlds, but this far exceeds anything they've done before.
    From the stunning graphics, to the immersive sound, to the believable, if somewhat flawed characters, none of which are saints, but all of which are likable in their own right. everything just feels real and raw.
    At first, I wasn't sold on the protagonist Arthur Morgan, he seemed spiteful, nasty and vindictive, but you soon realize that underneath all that hard skin is a real person, with a troubled past, with friends and enemies, with hopes and dreams, and it makes you gradually care more and more about him as the game goes on. And you also develop a liking for Arthur's unruly band of scoundrels too.
    My favorite place in the game is the home camp. I often found myself spending hours sitting around the campfire, listening to everyone's stories and songs, interacting with everyone and always hearing something new. There seems to be a never ending supply of dialogue, some of which you'll only hear at certain points of the games story. It feels like a typical dysfunctional family, where everyone has their own quirks, likes and dislikes, some people don't get on, but as a whole everyone enjoys each others company.
    The Gameplay is also top notch, The gunplay, the riding mechanics, the cover system and the hand to hand combat all feel like they've been finely tuned and refined over and over again to near perfection.
    Visually this game is beyond beautiful, the lighting, realistic textures, character models that change over time, the mud, water, trees, everything all just works together to create a believable open world.
    outside of the story is the multiplayer, at the beginning this was very bare bones and not something that interested me much, but this has been added to over time and has improved, but the single player element is where this game shines. The story will grip you from start to finish, it's hard to put down. I played this game for 18 straight hours one day, and I have a short attention span usually so that speaks volumes.
    this game isn't perfect, you'll probably encounter the odd bug here and there, I fell through the map on a few occasions, and some of the missions miss the mark, but it's all forgivable as on a whole this game is amazing. You owe it to yourself to play this game. Then go and play Red Dead 1, as it's aged pretty well and fleshes out the events after this game. Rockstar has definitely done it again. I can't wait to see what they do if they ever revisit this world again.    … Expand

It might even be better than its predecessor. It's one of the absolute best looking games ever to be released; its huge, varied world is rendered in an impressive, almost photo-real way. It's filled to the brim with life, from birds circling in the sky overhead to fish swimming in the river beneath your feet to strangers stuck by the side of the road. The open-world is probably the most detailed and lived-in I've ever experienced. It feels markedly real. That's a good thing, too, considering the amount of time you'll spend traversing it. Riding to and from your main objectives will often take longer than the missions themselves. The lack of comprehensive fast travel means you'll be doing this long after you've seen every beautiful location the map has to offer. Thankfully, then, no two journeys are ever the same. The amount of ways you can interact with the people you meet out in the world is amazing, and the small encounters you directly control are incredibly satisfying to play. They're possibly the best aspects of the game. That's because the main missions, which can often feel restrictive when compared to the free-roaming stuff, are as often utterly thrilling as they are frustratingly slow. The piece has a deliberate pace which unfortunately means that it takes a while to truly get going. However, it very much adds to the overall experience. It's supposed to be long, ebbing and flowing as its seasons and circumstances change. Its extended epilogue does take the wind out of the sails of its ending, but it's arguably vital in achieving the effect the finale is meant to have. Regardless of its issues, the narrative is straight-up phenomenal. It tells an at once personal and sweeping tale, crafting characters that seem so human you could swear they were real. Something that the piece does a phenomenal job with is the development of its side-characters. The people who don't get much play in the cut-scenes can be spoken to around camp, or even taken on small adventures, which is somehow enough for you to form almost as close a connection with them as you do with any other. When one of your companions inevitably dies, it's genuinely heartbreaking. That can be said of the overall thing, too. It's heartbreaking. Yet, it's also exciting, funny, hopeful, tragic, beautiful and, even, poignant. It strikes the perfect balance between sincere and satirical. It's generally more serious than its predecessor and, as such, it's more impactful. Most of the silliness is reserved for its entertaining side-missions, which suits them well. It's often genuinely affecting and it has a strong underlying theme that lives up to its title. The writing is just wonderful. It's consistently good across each and every character you meet. The morality system actually changes some small things about the story, too. For the best result, you should get all of your dastardly doings out of the way to begin with; the most fitting ending, thematically, is the 'high honour' one. The gameplay itself is enjoyable and varied, with satisfying shooting and surprisingly deep mini-games. The animation, which is superb, does sometimes get in the way, causing some slight chunkiness that can be cumbersome to begin with. However, this is easy to adjust to and it simply adds to the overall slower pace of the game. It's a measured affair, never as unrelentingly fast as some of its peers but nearly always more satisfying. In the end, this is an engaging, entertaining and affecting experience. It's a massive, thematically rich ride that stands out as one of the best games of all time. 10/10… Expand

    Took me a while to play, get used to, like and then love RDR2.
    Hands down, it might be the game of the decade for me. I was not expecting such an amazing story by R*, I absolutely loved the characters and Arthur Morgan easily has become one of my all time characters.
    Everything about the game ended up feeling right.
    The first 5 hours are slow, but bear with it, it's an absolute masterpiece.

Firstly, the game starts off with a lot of awe. Beautiful world and just so, so much detail. I have to applaud Rockstar for creating a game that makes you really feel you are reliving those cowboy days. Music is also top notch and at times, I really felt like I was the main character in a classic wild west movie. The game nails the atmosphere. Where the game drops points for me is in the actual gameplay and the fact that the single player feels longer than it should be. The last 10 hours felt like it was better left out and really felt like a chore to finish. The character that you control feels extremely clunky and at times I got really annoyed. It feels like they tried too hard to be realistic and sacrificed fluid game mechanics for that goal. Framerates were also terrible on my PS4 so if you really want to play this, get it on PC instead or maybe on the next gen consoles.

    Its a good game, that ultimately gets let down by its lack of fluid gameplay and a campaign thats longer than it should be.    … Expand

Here is what the game offers.

    Although it can be debated that the combat can seem under cooked and lackluster. While the objectives being mundane and repetitive, Red Dead Redemption 2 is what you make of it.

    Combat:
    The first major argument people will make against the game in the slew of garbage user reviews is the combat. While it remains clunky there are some positive components. Killing an individual with a head shot or undertaking combat against a band of marauders feels satisfying. When firing weapons such as pistols, shotguns, carbines etc. the player can feel the kick of the weapon and the satisfying crackle it makes as you land a long distance shot killing a man from behind cover with a head shot. Other mechanics that assist the adrenaline of combat is the cover and dead-eye system. Combining the characters movement with the slow-motion gunslinger ability adds an interesting dynamic. It doesn't feel inherently overpowered and requires a bit of experience. When finally mastering this mechanic it not only makes you feel like your a character within a spaghetti western but provides a further sense of satisfaction to the combat when you eventually start unloading lead on 5 or 6 men with impeccable accuracy.

    Atmosphere:
    From the gritty mud roads of Valentine to the New Orleans inspired Saint Denis, everything from characters, interactions, locations and small details cooperate together to produce one of the most artistically driven atmospheres in recent video game history. Rockstar's new game world provides a great sense of location variety offering almost every type of player an area that feels interesting to them.

    Addressing many of the major issues from previous rock star games such as Grand Theft Auto where the world although large felt empty. RDR2 makes everything feel much more alive. Walking through towns you can see character's day to day routines, different community's mannerisms and how they interact with you, the player. Committing an act of violence on a town won't be forgotten and important decisions that you make affect the population's opinion of your character.

    This combined with little details such as personality in the most obscure of characters and emotional and dialogue responses to actions you have committed provides one of the best senses of consequence and realism that's on the market today.

    Not having appreciation for these elements is self-evident in many of these low meta critic reviews, as it doesn't provide for people who only want to shoot and listen.

    Story:
    The main narrative of RDR2 is decent at best. It offers a compelling enough story about Arthur Morgan and his cohorts and it does provide extra fan service and lore around the universally loved John Marston. While compelling at times, many interesting ideas are thrown away the moment a mission is completed. With some missions feeling uninteresting and bland at times.

    Pros
    -Great graphics & sound design
    -Deeply immersive atmosphere
    -Impeccable attention to detail
    -Decently sized map
    -Unique interactions with characters
    -A satisfying sense of discovery

The world feels alive, you will see people doing their usual things all around, it´s a lively game.

    i have read a lot of complains about controls. I have to say I have always played in PC and just now I got a PS4 (mainly to play exclusive games like this and in a future play the new GTA and don´t have to wait a whole year to do it, he he he), so I´m not an expert but for me it has been very easy to get use to the controls, I find them good enough, even for someone who hasn´t been using them for years and years. I don´t understand what are the complains about, but well, they have their reasons.

    I bit of spoiler from here about fast travel. DO NOT READ IF YOU DON´T WANT TO KNOW NOTHING BUT IT´S NOT A BIG SPOILER. I have put a 9/10 because there is a big flaw in the game that could ruin it for some people. I´m talking about the way you move around. There is a fast way to go from place to place but the system is a little bit boring. I mean, there is the upgrade you can get in your camp, but you can only travel from the camp to other places and not the other way around, I don´t understand why not, that would solve everything. Or to travel from one fast location to the other. And yes, you can use the train and wagons but they charge you for that (I don´t know how much because right now I don´t know where to get a wagon.

There is also an entire chapter of the game which is a bit out of whack with the rest of the plot and probably should have been cut out but its not that long. Now the positives. If you love open world games that are living, breathing worlds this game is for you. You can explore the world and all the NPCs are going about their lives no matter what you decide to do. I have stumbled across soo many small random things and even after well over 100 hours I am still finding new things everytime I play. The amount of detail in this game is amazing. The scenery is beautiful and the voice acting along with the music is excellent. The story is extremely compelling. This game is a slow burn though. This is not a game you rush through. It is a game you take your time with and enjoy. The game is is very slow paced but it is intentional. You should get to know all the characters in your social circles, because it makes the overall story that much richer and there are plenty of side quests and activities to take part in. This is a game that can be very chill until all of a sudden it is not. Chaos can break out at a moments notice so you always have to be ready and not let your guard down. However, if you are somebody who needs non-stop action or don't have much interest in story lines then this isn't the game for you. For those looking for a compelling story and an amazing game world to explore this is among one of the most fully realized game worlds ever created.… Expand

    As someone who grew up watching Westerns with my father on Sunday mornings, this story caught me deep inside. However, I think that people of all tastes can enjoy it, not just Western lovers like me.

However, I think that people of all tastes can enjoy it, not just Western lovers like me. The graphics are great, the world really feels alive, even the NPCs in the far corner of the map make you feel alive. 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.

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
