    Tem uma historia linda e emocionante, graficos incriveis, mas no quesito diversão o jogo deixa a desejar, sendo muitas vezes chato e repetitivo.

    rootin' tootin' cowboy shootin' perfection, 10/10. A second perfect open world experience by Rockstar Games and a story with script-writing more compelling than ever before.

As for online it has it's flaws but rock star is constantly updating it and I've spent hours playing with friends just messing around exploring. The Map? 1 of the best maps in all of gaming I've played Many hours just wandering it still discovering things all the time. This is my favorite game of all time! Thank you rock star for this amazing game!!!!!!!… Expand

    This game is brilliant. It is so immersive with its beautiful world and great music and overall ambiance. The story is amazing and happily took up my life for a month. It is a true unique experience and i have no interest in westerns in general but this was so cool and i will recommend to all gamers.

    Red dead redemption is my favorite game. Rdr has beautiful graphics and beautiful story line but every time you have to ride 10 or 15 minutes from place to place it makes it boring, looong prologue makes, long walking, long second chapter.

    the game is good. but there is one minus: at first the horse is astonishing with its intellect. but then it infuriates. she constantly throws off you constantly slows down especially on the rocks. but basically the game is good. here I’m just not sharing it with those who don’t appreciate story games and sandboxes.

    The game play just stinks in this game. I litterally can't stay awake long enough to play the game.

    The combat is the most boring toned down level of combat I seen ever. I spent over a hour looking at a horses behind to do a single mission that yielded a measly $60. Seriously it takes over a hour of nothing but boring horse riding to get anywhere. You can't shoot someone in the leg and    The game play just stinks in this game.

    You can't shoot someone in the leg and have them limp crawl or even give up they just keep running.

    Every kill is just the same old tired roll over in third side scene.

    When you shoot someone they just get regenerated later.

    If your horse just bumps into a character in the game the whole town will turn out to shoot at you and I post this bounty that is near impossible to pay.

    The consequences for doing anything remotely bad are way to severe.

    The characters in the game just aren't interesting or memorable at all.

    I just found my self struggling to continue to play this game.

    And what the heck is up with having to stop and eat, and groom your horse, and maintain weapons... It's such a chore, I think I'd rather clean my toilet or mow the lawn. I don't play video games to do chores maintenance and upkeep: who's terrible idea was that?

    It is possible that the game will get better if I stick to it: but for the time being I have lost the will to continue with this bloated monolithic collection of not so fun game play. For the time being I am personally declaring this game to be a huge dissapointing and am struggling to understand the rave reviews the game is currently getting

    I tried to make it fun but it just isn't working for me    … Expand

    I feel sorry for those who have not yet familiarized themselves with the plot component of this chic art project, which fully has the right to be called a masterpiece and have the title of the best game ever created. Thank you, Rockstar games. Again.

    Wow. This is the best game I have played so far in my life. Open world and story driven games are my favourite games so of course I'm going to love this. If you don't enjoy story games then you wont like this. Because - The story - AMAZING, long and detailed. The acting - AMAZING (and i dont say that often, i can pick up a **** actor on tv etc instantly and they often ruin it for me) TheWow. This is the best game I have played so far in my life.

The acting - AMAZING (and i dont say that often, i can pick up a **** actor on tv etc instantly and they often ruin it for me) The graphics AMAZING and even the movements and facial expressions of Arthur, your horse and the other characters (even NPCs and wild animals too) are fantastic. The hunting system is great, its difficult to kill some tiny animals with a bloody bow and arrow but it makes it fun, so if you dont fancy doing some missions for a bit you can go hunting or do some challenges. The cooking/crafting system was strange at first but it makes sense and is quite simple really and quite enjoyable.
    This game is so realistic. It can be a very hard learning curve at the start and to be honest i nearly gave up this game after the first hour it really got on my nerves, specially when riding through towns and i kept knocking people over and getting bounties and witnesses to minor crimes (that was the most annoying bit throughout the game in all honesty) however i persevered and after a day or 2 i had learnt all the controls and nuances and I'm so glad I did.
    The missions are most of the time, different, and unexpected things happen in them. They can also be really long. The last few took me a week to complete, in fact I've been playing this game for the last 7 months, pretty much every other day with maybe the odd week break and that is how long its taken me to complete it - ive not got 100% im at 86.5 or something but ive done all the stranger and side missions that i have found, got all but the last legendary animal, done around half the challenges and explored the total map.
    Storywise - Arthur has been the best character I have seen in any video game. Theres so many funny lines that he says throughout the game aswell - he is a sarcastic lovable character. I think the most fun mission for me in this game is the one in the bar in Valentine with Lennie. After the game ended I had to watch this again.
    Yes it has some negatives, i think overall its an easy game to beat and maybe some difficulty settings would have been better here. Also the wanted system is very annoying, especially when committing train robberies - you have a bag over your head in a long underground train tunnel yet no lawmen are there and they somehow know its you before they even arrive. Nearly every time I have tried a train robbery my bounty was more than what I earned from it. This game is ABOUT a gang of criminals and the game makes it totally difficult to commit any crimes at all, if not even trying to steer you away from doing that. I suppose it makes sense given the various endings though but still.
    As a female I would have liked MORE FEMALE LEAD characters having a bigger role. Yeh its set in the late 1700’s and yes women were left behind in that era however the game was made in 2018. I thought Sadie was a great character and would have loved a bit more of that. Not even many stranger missions or encounters were from females. Apart from the ones that always needed saving, so Rockstar this would have been more ideal.
    Lack of fast travel for the most part of this game was quite annoying too - and made the game take so long. Only near the end of the game (i bought it 2nd hand) Rockstar introduced the fast travel (and photo mode which is fun too) it should have been in the game from the start. The auto equipping of weapons is annoying too. I would put some guns on my back ready for something, id get off the horse because i would come across someone that needs saving, id get there then i would have no guns on me! The game takes them off you for some reason if your still sat on your horse. Its similar for missions too and loads you up with random ones and not the ones you want. Another main annoyance is that half of the map is un-explorable until the main story ends and there is only one stranger mission that I have encountered here and I’ve ran around everywhere on this side of the map. Bit of a waste really and 3 legendary animals are on this side aswell which seems pointless as you can make trinkets out of them but don’t really have any use of them for many missions. A very minor thing that I would have liked is that Arthurs hair doesn't have a length limit! Why does it when everything else in the game is so detailed. even your horse has different hair lengths and colours to choose from lol
    In conclusion, Despite the negatives I'm really sad that I have finished the game now i wish it would carry on and on and on haha. Well done to Rockstar for this game, PLEASE make your next one as good as this - storywise especially. Arthur will always have a special place in my heart hahaha    … Expand

    The game strangles everyone as much as possible, your character is just a crippled cripple, he cannot run, swim, walk normally, he does not spend stamina only when he is standing.

You will spend a lot of time moving from point A to point B. You have no choice. The reputation system is not working. Do not be fooled by the schedule - this is the only plus in this game, the rest is all over-dummy dummy! online is generally dull and empty. the level is barely being pumped, the car is reading cheat, prices are all at $ 600. There are no normal tasks, one rubbish for $ 5-10 you will spend more on cartridges. servers are buggy, can be thrown by in the middle of a task or in the end and instead of a reward you will not get anything! The lure with the roles of a bounty hunter, trader, moonshine driver will bore you after two or three hours of the game, all enterprises are unprofitable. The Rockstar economy is ultra redneck multiplied by unlimited impudence. Worse game I have not seen !!! Rockstar extremely disappointed me, I will not buy more games from them and I do not advise you.… Expand

Сюжет очень хороший, миссии разнообразные и интересные, но есть один минус, что игра ОЧЕНЬ медленная, Артур медленно ходит, медленно скачет, а если ускоряешься, Артур ускоряется слишком сильно, что очень мешает геймплэю, но в целом игра хороша, и даже баги на пк разработчики пофиксили.В этой игре прекрасно всё.

    Be warned that there is a lot of downtime, and most of the game will be spent riding on horseback from point A to point B, with very little agency on how fast you can go. These mechanics are my absolute dread in videogames, since my attention span for this stuff has been absolutely spent by games like Wind Waker and World of Warcraft.

    Still, if you don't mind the downtime, you'll have yourself a game that clearly was made with a lot of love and care to explore. Even though it lacks originality and it's not groundbreaking except for some features that really miss the mark for me (cinematic camera is one example, all that it managed to do was annoy me), the amount of polish here gives the game a clear enhacement to the already familiar open-world experience that Rockstar Games always had. RDR2 is a game worth playing.    … Expand

    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]
