    El mejor juego que he jugado en mi vida, historia increíble con unos personajes carismáticos a los que cojes mucho cariño, son humanos y los conoces poco a poco, el juego increíble es una historia muy madura y no la entenderán niños, no es un juego para todos

    Tão realista que, faz ser o jogo mais imersivel possível, RDR2 pode não um jogo para todos, mas o seu mundo, e a sua história, precisam ser explorados.

    It was a good game, but there are so many niggling issues and old gameplay mechanics (e.g. bad aiming, slowing down character movement in certain areas of the game) that really prevented me from enjoying this game. Although it's a good game, I would describe the gameplay as frustrating.

    Still, worth a play, but not a masterpiece.

    To keep it short i will just list down the positives: Amazing story, Amazing characters, Beautiful world and fun combat and gunplay.
    But with all this why did i give it a 7 and am not impressed with this game? well its because this game gives me the illusion of freedom and choices. The game holds your hand through out the entire hours that you put in and will not let you try anything on your own and if you do, BOOM! MISSION FAILED!
    Rockstar games have a very old game design and because of how they make the game and story look good, gamers or let me say casuals forget it. I really hope we get more choices and mechanics from the next rockstar games.
    let me end by saying "ARTHUR MORGAN IS THE BEST PROTAGONIST I HAVE EVER PLAYED!"    … Expand

    Una gran decepción. Los detalles están muy cuidados, gráficamente es sublime pero la jugabilidad es muy aburrida. No puede ser que le dediques 40 horas a un juego y la mitad de ellas estes montando a caballo de un sitio para otro. Esperaba una vuelta de tuerca mas de Rockstar (Como hicieron en gta V o San Andreas) pero han dado un paso atrás

    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.
    Each game may or may not like it.

    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.

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

    The game require patience and is slow paced. There are certain things i am personally not a big fan but it didn't bothered me that much.

    This game is quite good. It has the gimmicks of everyday activities that you can do. After doing it for a few times they become a chore, even things as simple as taking things off the table or the ground. Making simple things complicated is exactly what the modern generation games have been avoiding, and somehow it's a plus now that RDR2 is doing it.

    I stuck with the game for about 10-15 hours, the missions are so far apart half the time are spent riding between missions with vast empty lands in the middle. In the end I got bored of it.

    8/10 and here’s why this may be the most overrated game of all time.

    I’ll start off by saying this game has an absolutely incredible amount of content and things to do in the world. The graphics are absolutely stunning, some of the best you’ll see in any game. Now that we’ve got graphics out of the way, let’s get on to what counts most: gameplay 1: +The gameplay is incredibly    8/10 and here’s why this may be the most overrated game of all time.

    I’ll start off by saying this game has an absolutely incredible amount of content and things to do in the world. The graphics are absolutely stunning, some of the best you’ll see in any game. Now that we’ve got graphics out of the way, let’s get on to what counts most: gameplay

    1: +The gameplay is incredibly realistic and immersive. You will literally feel like you’re actually living in the world. There is a mechanic for EVERYTHING; from picking up canned pears to brushing your horse to fishing and hunting. There is an animation for everything you do and they are incredibly realistic and well done. Why am I mentioning this?
    - it leads to extremely slow and sometimes very tedious gameplay. When you explore and loot a house, you have to sit through every animation whether that’s opening a drawer or searching the chimney. Everything has an animation and it can get very tedious.

    +Gun play is great, I have no complaints with fire fights. Again, you have to clean and maintain your guns which you guessed it, more animations that can get a bit tedious.

    +Maintaining your character: As you play through RDR2, you’ll have to eat food, smoke cigarettes, drink whiskey, etc. to maintain your “cores.” You have one for you health, one for stamina and one for “dead eye.” This was an aspect of the game I loved, if you eat too little, your character becomes underweight, eat too much and he becomes overweight. If you don’t maintain your cores, then your character and gameplay will suffer.
    -Some May not like this aspect of the game and just want to play the game. This is a complaint I’ve heard, so I’m listing it here even though I thought it was a great addition.

    Story:
    +The story is awesome, very engaging and you will grow to really care about the characters.
    -The story missions are very linear and scripted. They essentially just tell you what you are going to do, you don’t make hardly any of your own decisions to impact the mission. Start at point A, go to point B, do what the game tells you, then end of mission. Almost more like a movie. I will say that the story missions are fun however, I’d just like more freedom.

    Controls: I put this separate to gameplay simply because I forgot to include it earlier. Whoops.
    +The character movement is extremely realistic, very fluid and lifelike.
    -The controls can be very clunky. Because of the realism, it can annoying to position your character to pick something up or to sneak up on an enemy. Like other Rockstar games, you have to hold X/A to run. I just don’t understand this mechanic, it’s a video game, not real life, I don’t want to hold X every time I want my character to run. Otherwise he walks at a slow pace. This is a pet peeve of mine, I want my character to jog when I push the analog stick forward, not also have to hold X, it’s just an annoying mechanic.

    All in all, the game is very good and Rockstar deserves praise, but there is no way this game is a 97 out of 100. There are bugs, though minor for the most part, and gameplay is extremely slow.    … Expand

    There are honestly way too many pros. Story is fantastic and hits every single emotion. Rockstar has always been good at this, and this is there best story yet.

In terms of content, this game is massive, $60 is a bargain for the amount of hours you will get out of this. The attention to detail is insane. Almost everything is animated beautifully, from looting to the various ways of getting on your horse. I can keep going but there is just too many pros to list and I'll just be writing this review all day.

    Cons include boring gunplay. It's your typical rockstar cover system with auto-lock on. Nothing special there. Also, lots of small QoL things. It's impossible to polish every single aspect of a game this massive, but no fast travel (even after you beat the game) and annoyances like your weapon being holstered on your horse each time you get off it so you have to manually select it over and over again are obvious things that should have been addressed.    … 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]
