    I've felt compelled to create an account just to review this game. Never have I felt a game's reputation is so undeserved and simply there because it's Rockstar, because it's a huge world and because it's a graphical masterpiece.

Never have I felt a game's reputation is so undeserved and simply there because it's Rockstar, because it's a huge world and because it's a graphical masterpiece.

    It's boring as [choose a four-letter expletive]. I don't want to clean my horse, or go through three drop-down menus to find something that restores my stamina core or my horse's stamina core. I don't want to be 'wanted' as a murderer for an event that nobody even witnessed in the middle of nowhere. It doesn't make sense. It's frustrating in how unintuitive everything is. From the controls to the game mechanics. Want to sell some of your invent to make some cash, well, you better get ready to take a four-hour horse-ride in cinematic mode to get to someone who will buy something off you that's supposedly of high intrinsic value like a legendary bear pelt. You can talk to every NPC, isn't that amazing? Erm, no, two sentence non-sequitur conversations where you have to defuse the situation if you dare get within six feet of the person you're talking to. Maybe Rockstar was onto social distancing several years ago. Well done to Rockstar for predicting social distancing and projecting it via time travel into the Old West of 1899.

    I'm done with this game and I barely started it. Please, save your money. Do not buy into the hype and do not buy this game with good money.

    I'm usually a huge fan of Rockstar games but not this one. There are far better open-world games where interactions with NPCs are far more meaningful and side-missions are more interesting than a cinematic set-piece with a bear after five minutes of following clues and a scent trail. There are also far more interesting action-adventure games, you know, the ones with action...and adventure... Not just a big world and impressive graphics.    … Expand

    Оставлю свой вклад в шедевр от Рокстар. Такой детализированной, продуманной и качественной игры на сегодняшний день увы нет.
    Сюжет шикарен, музыка, звук, да все по десятке! Очень рекомендую тем, кто еще не играл.

    I don't normally play video games that are heavily story orientated, as I can almost always get a much better story experience from a movie or a tv show, however the character writing and artistic choices this game makes combines the developing characters slowly building over a long period of time, such as tv shows like breaking bad, whilst combining the cinematic scope found in movies.I don't normally play video games that are heavily story orientated, as I can almost always get a much better story experience from a movie or a tv show, however the character writing and artistic choices this game makes combines the developing characters slowly building over a long period of time, such as tv shows like breaking bad, whilst combining the cinematic scope found in movies. This also has beautiful art inspired by paintings of that era with sprawling landscapes and stylised skies. This is combined with a fun combat system, which although could have done with more options provides a great amount of pleasure to be had. It isnt quite as expansive of an open world as a game like breath of the wild, where your choices feel truly individual to you, however if you have played that you know that the story kinda sucks and thats where this outshines it. In conclusion its very hard not to love this game with its options for hunting, crafting gunplay etc and provides a truly immersive and hard to hate world alongside realistic characters and writing. This is what video games are all about and is one of my favourites in this ever changing art form.… Expand

    This game is one of the best I've played, it has everything that a person who enjoys games with good stories could have. I've seen many reviews with a low-rating, ofcourse it's personal opinions, but most of the reviews that I'm reading are from players who didn't play for long.

I personally didn't like the first chapter, but I kept playing and I was greatly rewarded with the chapters after chapter 1.

    About the controls. Yes it feels slow, but what did you expect? It isn't a Call of Duty game or a modern shooter. You can't run around with the pace of a Ferrari, it is realistic.

    About shooting. I understand why people didn't like the shooting, I agree with the auto-aim problem which is too much. But it has everything that a good western shooter should have.

    About the reviews of the empty world. For those with a review about the empty world, you shouldn't have bought this game. IT IS A WESTERN, what the hell did you expect? It isn't 2020, in my opinion it has the perfect amount of places to visit things, things to do etc. In about every mile or so you have a stranger mission or an easter egg or something like that. Also the amount of people say that you have to travel too much is just absurd. Ofcourse it takes a long time, but in that time you can truly appreciate the details and the amazing graphics of this game.

    This game is the best you can get for a western and a game in general, go and purchase it you won't regret it.    … Expand

    You can immediately see the handwriting of Rockstar, these guys pay attention to all the smallest details in their games, just as other developers do their projects in a hurry. Psychos, blood, debauchery-this is immediately associated with Rockstar games, I love this game

    In my opinion, Red Dead Redemption 2 is quite better than its predecessor because a specific reason: Arthur Morgan.

Arthur has, in my opinion, a huge charm and personality, even more than John Marston had in the first game. Arthur’s development is magnificent, making the player to empathize with him during his evolution along the game. His relationship with the members of the Van der Linde gang is really interesting, with some funny situations.
    In order to avoid spoilers, the main history starts pretty well, but during the middle chapters lose some interest. Despite this, the game has a good rhythm until finished it.
    The world is huge, full of missions and things to do (hunting, fishing, bounty hunter, side quests, etc.). The level of detail in the graphics is overwhelming. Maybe one of the best in all the generation. Do not forget to mention the soundtrack, which is pretty good, especially in some emotional moments.
    The game gives you the chance to play it in 1º or 3º person. In my case, I only played in 3º person, so I can’t say a lot about the other mode. Arthur’s moves are very realistic, as well as the horses he has. The shooting and duels phases are very dynamic, but I found some fails in the cover system. Like in the first game, the Dead Eye system will be our best friend during these situations.
    It is a spectacular game, which will delight all the fans and a great chance to get in the Wild West created by Rockstar.    … Expand

This is obviously not an uncommon story to tell but in this medium it creates the best piece of video game entertainment I have ever experienced. In terms of storytelling, this simply ranks in my top 3 including movies, tv shows, and video games. No video game can ever top this. Since finishing I have tried to find other video games that can fill the hole that’s missing now. It can’t be done. It’s the perfect setting and perfect execution.

    I have never been a big western fan, but Red Dead Redemption was able to change this. Thanks to the great atmosphere, easy to handle but more and more challenging gameplay and a thrilling story which ended for me perfectly. Unfortunately, the second installment of this game cannot hold up with this. It is bigger, more detailled and looks better, but never judge a book by it's cover. To sum it up and give a better overview, I'll give you the pro's and con's.

    Pro's:
    - huge world to discover
    - plenty of missions and side-missions
    - fantastic details
    - vivid environment
    - short loading time in the beginning, no more loading after this
    - some missions are really unique

    Con's:
    - travelling takes way too long, becomes annoying at a certain point
    - no quick-travel given, buyable extra but the game won't tell and if you are over 50% of the story you cannot buy it anymore
    - story underwhelming and predictable
    - story takes too long and is unneccessarily stetched
    - 75% of the missions end up in a shooting and are lacking of variety
    - Dead-Eye mode completely needless, aiming is easy and AI not very clever
    - no developement in difficulty during the game
    - roleplaying elements, such as choosing the right clothes, develop your horse or gain more stamina are completly non-relevant for the success in the game
    - variety of weapons is small
    - always enough money to buy everything you need, makes money pointless
    - if you get attacked on the road by thiefs and kill them while defending, there will be a bounty on your head
    - controls feel unprecise in hectic gun fights or if you need to run and hide
    - the ending just doesn't make sense

    I can only go with many people here, but also friends of mine and say that this game is a disappointment. The high ratings from critics are for me not really comprehensible. RDR2 is a good game, but by far not close to a game of the year candidate. It is not inventing anything new and does not try to. Bigger is not always better. I am giving the game a 7.9 and therefore 7/10 here, because it has not earned a 8/10 rating.    … 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]
