    It's a really good game, the world feels alive, all npcs and animals are doing their things, a fantastic improvement from RDR 1. Arthur is a likeable character, the combat is good, story is good, side quest... everything is amazing but there is so much to do that can be overwhelming in a bad way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me say that this is one of my favorite games of all time. I would play this over and over and I wouldn't ever get bored of it. Four years after this game was released and it still looks absolutely stunning. This game has one of the most expansive, alive, and fun worlds of any open-world game. The world is full of random encounters, missions, explorations, activities, and more. The entire game from beginning to end is marked by its incredible detail, making the game feel very real. The story is captivating and has you hooked from beginning to end, and there is never a moment where you want to quit. Arthur Morgan is an amazing character; the game develops and showcases him very well. The audience begins to love Arthur Morgan, who in my opinion is one of the best antiheroes. Overall, Red Dead Redemption is a phenomenal game that I highly recommend that you play. The only reason I gave it 9/10 instead of 10/10 is because of how rockstar has treated RDO. Red Dead Online is the one bad mark on this game; it had massive potential, and Rockstar didn't care to make it good. Four years later, Red Dead Online is mostly dead. RDO aside, this game is a 10/10, and anyone who has not played it should now. Expand

    En contenido y margen de decisión, es una de las joyas que tenemos en la actual generación de consolas. Este y GoW son para mi los dos mejores de la generación (dado que soy poco de juegos tipo souls), quizás no sea un juego de 10 objetivamente, pero viendo el panorama que tenemos de juegos en general, es una joya en el desierto.

    Me ha dado casi 130 horas de jugarlo de diferentes maneras, y es un mundo en el que perderse. Lo recomiendo 100%, aunque entiendo que los gamers más avezados le den menor puntuación, aquí sólo puedo reflejar lo que ha supuesto mi experiencia con este título.

    Awesome story. Characters that you can relate to, beautiful graphics combined with clunky game play

    Maximum detail of the world, awesome graphics, story tailing, gameplay, music. All constituents of the game are excellent.

    Mam wywalone na multi, interesuje mnie tylko tryb fabularny. A ten jest fenomenalny i basta. Właściwie nie trzeba nawet robić misji wystarczy włóczyć się po świecie i już jest fajnie :)

    Let's talk About amazing Story that RDR2 has.
    You play as Arthur Morgan, Dutch's Most Trusted guy in the gang. We don't know about him much because he was absent in First game. As Story goes Deeper You Will Love Arthur Morgan More, Arthur's Opinion and Thoughts Changes every Chapter .
    In chapter 1-2 He Did Everything Dutch Said to do. But After Finishing half of the Chapter 5 He Rebels against Dutch and Finally Arthur Sees Something is Wrong About His Mentor and doubts him and that makes Their Relationship to dead end.
    Let's Talk About Arthur's Redemption;
    unlike John in First Game, Arthur had Long time to redeem Himself. At end of the Fifth Chapter He finds that he has TB and Doesn't have So Much time Left to Live.
    He Turns 180 Degrees and Takes Sides with John Marston and Tries To help His famiy to Left the gang. Arthur's Redemption is Way emotional and Sad than John's
    In Arthur's Last Mission You will Cry like a Baby
    A man Who Gave Everything to Gang in the End he gets Betrayed by His Mentor and Friends TB killed his Body But saved His Soul
    Arthur Saved Many Lives In little Time he had And He Successfully completed his Redemption.

    This game is amazing, but the plot is swinging too long, and in some things is too boring.

    Greatest game ever. Like that’s really all you need. I could go on and on about graphics mechanics but the story is amazing. Like this games only flaw is the horse running into rocks and stuff apart from that it’s perfection.

    “I Gave You All I Had” - Arthur Morgan

    Yes you did, buddy... You gave us an experience in the gaming medium that in most ways has eclipsed anything I’ve experienced before. The master-crafted character design and development in this truly gut wrenching story delivered in every way. This one goes in the books.

    This is a game about fate, about choice, about death and about love.

    Speaking the truth, the world of the Western movies and games is very far from our current life but the creators of RDR2 managed to show and tell the story for everybody. The measured gameplay, stunning visual style and soundtrack completely immerse you in a world that I cannot even call fictional anymore! Arthur's

The measured gameplay, stunning visual style and soundtrack completely immerse you in a world that I cannot even call fictional anymore! Arthur's adventure made me think about real life and everyday choices. This game is a good example of a real dive that shows who we really are. Thank you Rockstar Games for the opportunity to be someone else and to find myself.

    Das Spiel hat eine wunderschöne Grafik wie von Rockstar üblich. Die Charaktere sind sehr gut geschrieben und die Missionen im Spiel sind kreativ und abwechslungsreich. Die Geschichte ist sehr spannend bis zum Schluss.
    Einziger Negativpunkt : Man muss teilweise lange von Mission zu Mission reiten was auf Dauer mühselig wird.

    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]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
