    Another solid game from Rockstars . The enviroment is beautifull , the story is very well written , you just feel connected to the characters .The only part that felt a bit boring was the horse riding which takes up about 40% of your time .Over all a great game deffinitely worth my money .

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Um dos melhores jogos que já joguei na minha vida. O estilo incrível da Rockstar faz com que tudo fique mais vivo. RDR2 tem um dos mundos mais incríveis que já vi. Os NPCS carregando madeira por Saint Dennis, conversando, saindo bebados do bar, etc etc e etc.
    A história? Nem tenho o que dizer. No começo, você apenas quer laçar pessoas e matar. Mas com o sistema de honra que te deixa mal a cada npc morto por você sem motivo, você se importa cada vez mais com o mundo. E até o final da história, você realmente fica mal pelo final do jogo.
    Gráficos maravilhosos. nunca pensei que isso rodaria em um PS4 (Fat, original de 2013, comprado em 2016), nem preciso afirmar né?
    RDR 2 é uma obra prima.    … Expand

    ill star by saying i wasnt the biggest fan of the 1st. mostly cause my disc was corrupted before i finished it and had to watch someone else finish offline. But this game truly is FUN to just do whatever and nothing at the same time. Overall i really enjoyed it although the online left me very disappointed wich is why id give it a 8.6 so a 9/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Wow, where do I even begin with this one?

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is nothing short of flawless. It captures your heart in it's opening moments as protagonist Arthur Morgan and the rest of the Van der Linde gang mourn the loss of one of it's members, Davey, as they struggle to find shelter in the middle of a blizzard on the run from America's coming of civility. At this moment, my heart was captured and Red Dead Redemption 2 held onto it right up until it's very last breath's - nothing a video game has ever done for me before.

    I originally played this game right as the clock struck midnight on October 26, 2018 on PS4 and have dumped many more hours into it on PC and still play it regularly to this day, whether it be fooling around with mods or goofing around with friends in the rather lackluster Red Dead Online, but I'm not going to be reviewing that today. RDR2 is one of the most authentic experiences ever. It's down to earth and it's human. Every single character, whether it be a random NPC who triggers a side quest or a member of camp, is fully realised with goals, aspirations, morals, ideologies and more. They're made to feel human and Rockstar does an incredible job of developing each character's personality to match the circumstances of the story throughout the game. Without spoiling too much, the Arthur you play as in Chapter 1 & 2 is not the same man you're playing as in Chapter 4 and is completely different again come Chapter 6. The world adapts to you more so than you adapt to it and that's this games' biggest strength. Commit a crime in Valentine and get away; come back a few days later and the Sheriff will question you about your actions if you're recognised, every NPC has a fully scripted routine that they follow and they will react in a variety of ways depending on how you interrupt that routine. The long, lonely stretches of land, watching the wind get torn in half by you on your horse is a sight to behold and the townships and cities that inhabit RDR2's game world are sprawling with lively characters to meet, activity's to participate in and crimes to commit. This is a game where no detail is left untouched; it is absolutely uncanny the amount of time it must've taken to realise every nook and cranny this world has to offer from the cinematic train heists to Dutch Van der Linde's, the gang's charismatic leader, an idealist of a new world, descent into madness as he falls victim to his own arrogance and the toxicity of the ego fueling psychopathic traitor Micah Bell. There are twists and turns in this story that you will not expect and some events are thrown at you so quickly you don't even know they hit you. You feel so connected, so engrossed in this virtual world that no other game has come close to replicating before. You feel the magnitude of every decision you make and eventually it will wear numb until Rockstar hands you a rude awakening and you're made to step back and look at the bigger picture. The way this games' story is told is nothing short of magnificent, props to Dan and Sam Houser and the rest of the narrative team crafting such an intricate and beautiful story about human nature.

    Obviously though, this is a video game, right? You can have the most beautiful world with the most amazing story being told in the world but if it's not fun to play then you won't be able to enjoy the game, right? Well, luckily RDR2 nails it in this department to. Micromanaging your horse, your beard, your hair and your weight never feels like a chore because it's never truly forced upon you, it's simply there if you wish to utilise it for increased immersion, rarely is any of it made a necessity. Riding your horse, which is what you'll spend a majority of the game doing, feels natural and intuitive and you can tell Rockstar took what they did well in the first game back in 2010 and updated it to give it a more modern feel while retaining that smooth feeling RDR1 had to it. The gunplay went rather unchanged and I know this was an annoyance for some people, but for me personally I think the gunplay was perfect the way it was and Rockstar didn't need to change it. They found themselves a serviceable system, tightened it up for eighth gen standards and ran with it and I didn't have a problem with that at all - don't fix it if it ain't broke. Most importantly in an open world game, interacting with the world around you feels seamless, it's like the world jumps at you right when you want it to and shies away when it knows you need some peace. I seriously have nothing to complain about here, all praise from me.

    Finally, the soundtrack. Oh my god. Some of the most memorable and emotional moments are heightened because of the superb selection of tracks that play just at the right moments and really engulf you in the mind of Arthur Morgan. It makes you empathise with him and the people around him on a whole new level, it is truly spectacular.

    It is an absolute masterpiece. 10/10.    … Expand

    A gorgeous masterpiece.
    I experienced the most realistic world in video games history in Rockstar's red dead redemption 2. Even the fast travel system feels so real.
    That amazing soundtrack , character design , environment design , .... Wow just wow.
    Thanks Rockstar for creating this masterpiece.

    And this game is a 10/10. It's the best game of the decade. It has everything. Maybe, just maybe a tiny bit too linear, but that's the assumption of the game. I don't mind. It allows for everything else to be absolutely perfect. The only game I've ever enjoyed as much from start to finish.

Not to ramble on or sound cliche but I don't ever think I will play a game as good as this again. I still watch RDR2 related content although I've taken a break from single-player and online. I played the game daily for nearly 2 years after its release inspecting of inch of what Rockstar and these wonderful actors created. I'm honestly thankful for the experience.… 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]
