    RDR 2 is one of the best open world experience that you can get on PS4. It has brilliant story with interesting characters. This game offers you to dive into the game's world and keeps you there till the end.

    Ein wirklich wunderschönes Spiel. Die Liebe zum Detail, die tolle Story, die vielfältige Open-World. Rockstar hat sich bei diesem Spiel wirklich selbst übertroffen!

    The most realistic game you will ever play. The detail of gameplay is insane. That makes the game slower sometimes but that is what makes it unique. This game is just a masterpiece.

    Absolute Timeless Masterpiece. One of the BEST stories ever told in the videogame medium, full of action and very emotional moments, with an incredible & diverse cast of characters and a satisfying pay-off. Arthur Morgan is the best written character I've ever seen, the bond he shares with his friends & loved ones is very grounded & heartwarming, and his development throughout the story isAbsolute Timeless Masterpiece.

Arthur Morgan is the best written character I've ever seen, the bond he shares with his friends & loved ones is very grounded & heartwarming, and his development throughout the story is insane. The Open World part of this Titanic videogame is next level, it raised the bar so high, I don't think we are gonna get a game of this quality in a very long time. A World full of life and activities to do, a living ecosystem, you can see animals fighting in the wild, people interacting with objects, and so many jaw-dropping details, it's absurd! As you ride your horse through the gorgeous landscapes, everything eventually comes to you and enhances your experience, something we've never seen before in a videogame. Exploring the map is very enjoyable, countless of encounters with random characters that you'll meet in your journey, and these encounters are very exciting, you'll always find something new. As for the side content, it's a very rich game, the side stories are interesting with charming characters, there are some mini-games that you can play just to relax for a bit, spend time hunting animals for food & clothes, do some bounty hunting for money, raise your honor by helping people, bond with your horse, visit the saloon for a drink, go for some fishing, rob a homestead, explore uncharted territory for hidden treasures & unique weapons etc, and just interact with the world of the game and everything it has to offer. Lastly, I want to talk about the gameplay, in my opinion, it's a fun game but the shooting mechanics are indeed a little bit clunky, you'll need to get used to the controls, and once you do, combat will be way more satisfying and rewarding. Hands down, one of the best videogames I've ever experienced, and one that I will surely NEVER forget, Congratulations Rockstar Games.… Expand

    I will just say that I went into RDR2 expecting a GTA cowboy style and the Valentine butcher told me what the game was about in just one line: after maybe 3 hours of gameplay I aimed my revolver at him, I was expecting him to run or to pull up, instead he said "Are you going to kill an honest man?".

    One of the best games I've ever played. Interesting plot, great graphics and so much attention to details. I'm the big GTA fan, but I like this game even more. I give 9/10 only because of the fact that the game is quite slow-paced.

    This game is stunning and absolutely amazing in every aspect! If you like western theme/idea even just a little bit, Don't even hesitate single second to get this amazing masterpiece. BEST game I've ever played on PS4 without a doubt. Lacking on line content/features a lil but still some kind of god level story, graphics, animations, controls etc etc.

    Don't die before playing this world.

    Amazing single player story mode. Truly epic world and story brought to life by interesting characters. The story mode does feel a bit too long and I fear many will never reach the end as a result. Tons of side quests for those that want to spend even longer.

    The BEST GAME I've played, ever. And there is not a single game that has EVER made me say that sentence. Saying that this game made me make an account here is an understatement, yet the truth. Practically flawless, polished, believable, realistic, fun. In one word, a MASTERPIECE.

    It's one of the best videogames I played. Great graphics, good animations, good character design and good story mode until Guarma appears.
    After that the story mode becomes too bad. I even stopped playing for that reason.

    No more than 6 points, completely disappointed by the way they ruined something that could be big.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red dead redemption 2 is a great action-adventure game. the games mechanics give a player the felling of actually being in the old west. between the weapon function, and design, and the way the horses behave. the graphics are amazing and really help bring the world of New Hanover to life. the best part of the game though is the story line. the interaction between the characters, watching as Dutch slowly descends into madness, and seeing Arthur's struggle as he has to make the choice between loyalty, and doing what is right. It's easy to become attached to these characters and when Arthur eventually dies you can't help but feel sadness. no game is perfect, and Red dead Redemption 2 is not an exception, but overall I couldn't help but love this game.… Expand

    Excellent plot, acting and camera work, meticulous study of small details, as well as an open world that simulates life so cool that you can enjoy it indefinitely. The synthesis of all this makes Red Dead Redemption 2 one of the best games released for the entire Playstation 4 generation.

Y ¿sabian que cuando un oso quiere atacarte si te quedas completamente quieto te ignora?

    Red Dead Redemption 2 will go down as one of the greatest games of all time.

    Story/Characters: From the start of the game I was sucked into the story and drawn to the well written and diverse cast of characters that make up the Dutch Van Der Linde gang. When I was introduced to the protagonist Arthur Morgan, I honestly found him a little off putting as he's very rough on the surface.    Red Dead Redemption 2 will go down as one of the greatest games of all time.

    Story/Characters: From the start of the game I was sucked into the story and drawn to the well written and diverse cast of characters that make up the Dutch Van Der Linde gang. When I was introduced to the protagonist Arthur Morgan, I honestly found him a little off putting as he's very rough on the surface. However, after spending dozens of hours with him you see how wonderfully complex of a character he is. By the end of the game Arthur Morgan was solidified as one of my favorite protagonists in video game history. The story has some lulls as is common with open world games but overall I was very satisfied and left wanting to replay it immediately.

    Gameplay: While the story and characters of RDR2 are phenomenal it's the gameplay that kept me coming back until I had logged over 200 hours in this game. I joked with a friend that asked me what RDR2 is that it is a "Wild West simulator" but it's really not far from the truth. The shooting mechanics work very well and the horse riding is the smoothest and most detailed of any game I have ever played. The clothing customization and grooming options are almost unlimited. The "survival" mechanics of eating/sleeping are simple yet add quite a bit to the game in terms of immersion.

    Setting: The open world Rockstar Games created for RDR2 is very large and diverse. From snowy mountains, to open plains, swamps, forested hills and a fairly large city, you will never get sick of seeing the same landscape and structures over & over as you traverse the map. My only slight complaint on the map is that the mountainous regions are a little too underpopulated. I often find myself in awe at the scenery and just riding around to admire the views.

    Conclusion: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece in all facets. This game can be played for 200 hours and you will still find new things in the open world and find locations that make your jaw drop because of the sheer beauty. The gameplay is well polished and the story is engaging. Arthur Morgan's journey is one that all fans of video games should experience.    … Expand

    Everyone should understand that this game is not for everyone. If you like measured gameplay, you like wild west, buy rdr2. If you like GTA 5, chaos, and you are 12 years old, then you should not disappoint yourself. The game does not spoil thanks to an exclusive console. Not worse, because this is Rockstar, but this is not GTA.

    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]
