    DO NOT BUY!! There is an error with their server that they refuse to fix. Millions of consumers cannot play this game and they're not fixing this issue. If you buy and are unlucky like some, you've wasted your money. This game had potential, I'm sure the ones that get to play it, enjoy it. Most of us cannot play and are cheated out of money.

    After playing uncharted 4 I never thought I will play a better game, but 1 week into red dead redemption 2 and I didn’t even finish it yet.......I simply realised this is the best game I ever played in my life, still excited to see the ending of the story!

    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.

    I'm sorry, but the critics got it wrong. This game is a very solid 7-8, but by no means does it deserve the "best ever" slot. RDR2 is a solid game but deeply flawed.

This game is a very solid 7-8, but by no means does it deserve the "best ever" slot. RDR2 is a solid game but deeply flawed. Every game design decision was biased towards realism or selling microtransactions instead of FUN. As a result, you spend the vast majority of your time doing monotonous busy-work like securing food, shelter, maintaining your weapons, etc. Even those looking for a deep simulation experience are going to be disappointed, however, because so many of the supporting systems are so bad.

    Expect to struggle with your horse and your horse-oriented storage. You are REQUIRED to keep every weapon you've ever picked up on your horse with no way to throw them away, sell them, or force a loadout for example, but your horse is very often unavailable when starting missions. You can only carry one of the 50 million large pelts you require for crafting around at a time, but each time you begin the 20 minute horse ride to the drop-off location you lose the pelt to side missions or horse malfunctions or whatever. It's tiring and unenjoyable and that's the bulk of the game!

    The actual story has some of the worst pacing in video game history, with the first hour of gameplay featuring only one gun-fight amid thirty minutes of horseback travel and inconsequential dialog. It's the kind of thing better games let you skip as cutscenes, but it sets the stage for an excessively drawn out main campaign. If you distill the game down into "main" campaign missions, the campaign length probably drops from 60-ish hours down to less than ten with the only meaningful or memorable bit falling squarely in the third quarter.

    The game world is fairly bustling, but it's not even the same planet as something like a GTAV. It has some nice vistas and such and is probably the best looking video game I have ever played, but the level of detail that makes each location memorably distinct simply doesn't exist.    … Expand

    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.

    No game is perfect. Every game of course has it's flaws and that's what makes the balance and creates the definition of perfection.

But on the other hand, Red Dead Redemption 2 is standing on the circle of being a perfect game. Things that prevent it going from that position to inside of the circle are purely controversial. Some strongly agree that it deserves the game of the year or hell even decade, some say it's just long and goofy. I consider myself as in the first part.

    The things that's considered as boring and unnecessary are the foundation of the game. I also agree that riding a horse to some place after playing 60 hours is a chore but it's there. Gun play is a bit clunky but animations are top notch. Story is sometimes predictable but it's well presented as always. Good writing and amazingly likable characters, wonderfully created immense world and side activities are always welcome.

    So much effort was put into this, one can clearly see that, and as a developer myself, I wholeheartedly appreciate it. Red Dead Redemption 2 is this generation's first Rockstar game and it sure does not disappoint.    … Expand

Rockstar fez um bom trabalho com o protagonista, o desenvolvimento dele no game faz que a gente se apegue bastante nele, creio que mais do que eu me apeguei ao John Marston do primeiro jogo, eu poderia listar um monte de coisas sobre o game, mas ficaria muito grande o comentário, mas a minha nota será 8 por causa do tédio que o jogo chegou a me dar algum vezes, os eventos que eles colocaram no game para quebrar o tédio nem sempre ajuda pelo fato de serem bastante repetitivos, o bom é que você pode aumentar pontos de honras fazendo ele, um jogo não deveria deixar seu jogador entediado ainda mais um jogo de mundo aberto feito pela Rockstar.

    Não foquem apenas no modo história, existe bastantes sidequests boas, as caças valem a pena fazer eles podem dar um upgrade no acampamento, mas haja paciência na hora de caçar o que chega lembrar um pouco da vida real.    … Expand

In the end I just helped him get his horse back. Made it into town, I couldn't get my gun out. Walked into a store, couldn't get my gun out. Sometimes the character was walking around slowly, couldn't sprint. Arthurs prostitute friend was being manhandled. I went over there to confront him. I point my gun at him but wasn't aloud to shoot him. I pointed my gun in the air and fired off a round and mission failed. Did the mission again and this time when he completed his dialogue and started walking away, the grey dot turned red and I shot him in the back of the head - mission failed.

    Then a guy shows up, a witness. Says he's seen Arthur before and I had to chase him down. The guy ends up hanging off the edge of a cliff. I go to put on my bandanna but can't. I want to shoot him but I can't. I try to walk away but I'm stuck in an invisible box so I can't just leave this guy. In the end I press O or X or whatever to kill him.

    I go back into town. I now get my gun out and start shooting up the place. I racked up a $300+ bounty. During the firefight the game goes full Ubisoft. Just an endless wave of spawning enemies rushing me in the saloon. I died.

    Respawned without my hat and went back to camp. Chose a mission and went back into town to sell a horse. I just shot up this town but ok whatever because realism. I went back into the saloon and nothing. So ok...

    Sold my horse and bought a new one. Went hunting for a bear with the guy. Killed a rabbit and cooked it at a campfire. Then went to sleep. Then in the morning started hunting the bear. The bear showed up during a cut scene. Shot it in the face then chased after it but mission failed because I went to far away from the guy.

    I closed and deleted the game. Went back to playing Farming Simulator 19. That game is more action packed and rewarding than Red Dead 2.    … Expand

The horse riding is awful and many many many times throughout the game you'll fly through the air like a ninja on crack because a rock hasn't bothered loading and was therefore invisible. The story and characters are the best thing ever to come from rockstar and it pains me to rate it so low but what we have here is a top current gen game plastered over ps2 controls. The world is beautiful and really captures the spirit of what a contemporary person would imagine the dying wild west was like.This is a game id love to play more but the controls make it hurt. You cant have sandboxes where you have to repeatedly tap buttons just to move because it makes traversing it a chore. Some could argue that's a theme in the game but that is just mental gymnastics to justify the kind of boring nonsense we hated in GTAV.… Expand

    RDR2 is not a videogame, it's an experience. Some times it can drag and be slow, but that is part of its narrative, and completely necessary to enjoy it, its characters and the world at its full. Play it and if you get tired, leave it for a while, BUT do yourself a favour and comeback and take your time to enjoy it, and for the love of god finish it. You won't regret it.

    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]
