    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 LindeIn 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

    One of the best stores driven games made by Rockstars games in a long time. The multiplayer is a bit trash but the single player is definitely worth your time!

    The game has a really deep story with amazing character development and music, I hope I can say that about the gameplay too, But sadly not very long on horse travels and repetitive gun using gameplay. But the story, characters, graphics, and the music and almost everything else does really make up for it

    This game went down to history and my only wish was to erase my memories to have my first playthrough again.

    The world is amazing. The storytelling is great but the shortcomings of trying to pair open world with linear stories shows. Still must play but not a masterpiece.

    Masterpiece but not for everyone. Be prepared to waste a lot of time by slowly riding on a horse back. For me it was quite pleasing and relaxing. Story is top of a notch and characters are so damn natural and unique. Amazing experience!

    Love this game, it's the best game ever made. The gameplay, mechanics and realism is incredible. Lot's of kids complain about the realism, but that what makes RD2 amazing along with the incredible story and graphics.

    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 .

    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

    A masterpiece. Technically perfect. A vast game world, alive and teeming with details.

    Nearly perfect game with a compelling story. Arthur Morgan character is 90% of the game, you'll grow attached to him and his decisions through the game. Maybe the gameplay and combat system needed a improvement, but the graphics and facial animations are amazing. I totally recommend give it a try. You don't regret!

    I hadn't played RDR, but from the start, you could find that the game would immerse you into it.

    In the first gunfight of the game, I died within a minute. This meant that the game wasn't meant to be played all guns blazing. Over the 50 odd hours of game time, I learned to respect the gameplay, understand Arthur's background and appreciated the wonderful storytelling and character development.

    An excellent adventure game, slow, but with breathtaking writing skills. The technique is excellent, the game is magnificent, optimizes very well and the bugs are quite rare. The gameplay can be quite difficult to take in hand and the fights are repetitive. But it is especially for the walks in the open world which make that one takes pleasure there.

    First of all, I want to say that after Rockstar's absence of video games for 5 years, this game is a master piece. I played this game the day it released, and was instantly pulled into the game by its gripping, tension filled intro cut scene. The tension in this scene portrays the bond of Dutch and his gang perfectly, and helps elevate the game and its story in its most important narrativeFirst of all, I want to say that after Rockstar's absence of video games for 5 years, this game is a master piece.

    The games mechanics are smooth and fleshed out and suit the games setting perfectly. The level of detail in the game world is amazing. While the random encounters stand out as slightly scripted occasions they still fit into the world as believably as they could. the visuals are beautiful and compliment the realism of the story perfectly.

    in conclusion this is a fitting addition to the Red Dead series and is a perfectly fulfilling title as Rockstar's newest game in the 5 year wait fans have endured.    … Expand

    technically perfect. it is the game that has rewritten the rules in this generation. Perfect in everything from animations, sound, kinematics, interactions, artificial intelligence and much more. Sorry only for the multiplayer which is the big flaw of the title.

    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]
