    First of all I want to say that this game is not for everybody. This is a really complex game, with a lot of content, and some people may feel overwhelmed because of this. Also the way the game shows you the diversity of its world is in many times confusing or insufficient so it may take a lot of hours in order to understand every part of the game. That being said, this game is not for casuals.

    The story is really good but not excellent cause in some occasions it is kind of forced, but anyway is really epic.

    The characters are the best of the game by far, they have a strong personality and you can recognize them as real persons, and it is remarkable the fact that you feel this with every new character you met.

    The ambientation plus the excellent graphics adds you a perfect immersion in the Far West world. Everything is there with a lot of detail and love. The landscapes, vegetation, the huge variety of animals, and the innumerable number of random events makes you really feel that the world is alive.

    The worst thing of this game is actually the gameplay. The controls are really difficult, it takes you hours to dominate them but they keep being awful. However, this is forgivable because as I said is a so complex game that the dualshock buttons aren’t enough for so many actions. In addition, the game is really slow, for me this is not a problem but if you came here specting a “gta in the far west” let me say that you’re completely wrong. order to understand every part of the game    … Expand

    The game is great due to the world feeling so alive. This game has little details that will blow your mind.

    Simply one of the best games I've ever played. The environments are jaw dropping, the story is heart breaking, and Arthur Morgan is one of the best characters ever written. This is easily one of the most polished games ive ever come across. My only complaint is that the beginning of the game is a little slow, but it MORE than makes up for it.

    The best movie I've ever seen.
    If you want to go through this game, then please treat it like a film that tells the story of one, not the best and not the happiest person. Which in 40-50 hours before your eyes, gradually comes to atonement

    An addictive game with amazing graphics, great story and lots of details. It took about 50 hours to complete the story, but I could play up to 11 hours in one game because the game is very addictive.

    Beautiful game. Loved the story line. Had its fair share of ups and downs, happy and sad moments. The game play is smooth and not complicated. You can follow the story and adventure off on your own. I would recommend to anyone.

    Great game, this is how you write a good revenge story (unlike certain games *cough cough*). Although it felt like it dragged the main story a bit sometimes, I still enjoyed every second of it.

    8.5/10. Red Dead makes good use of stunning visuals, but also all of the small details that help bring the world to life. I particularly enjoyed the addition to the narrative by interacting with the camp memebers throughout as this made the experience 'real' rather than waiting to trigger the mission or cutscene.

    I like taking my time in games and you can definitely sink a lot into    8.5/10. Red Dead makes good use of stunning visuals, but also all of the small details that help bring the world to life.

    I like taking my time in games and you can definitely sink a lot into this one, though by the end I was definitely ready to move on. There is a lot you can do in the game and the gameplay itself can get quite repetitive (as with most Rockstar games imo) by the end. Buy this, upgrade that, go here, shoot these guys etc. However I still had plently of fun doing all those things.    … Expand

    A stunningly polished art direction, birthing a detailed and lavish world ; a straightforward yet nuanced and overall solid story ; an intuitive and realistic gameplay - this makes RDR2 the outstanding video game it is, surely elevating this ludic form to one of art.

    Медитативная игра про дикий запад. Понравился визуал и интересная Боёвка. Сюжет особо не зацепил.

    The game is incredible. The attention to detail, scenery, weather is amazing.
    I won't say much more since other reviewers have aptly covered the high value of this game.
    You will be emotionally involved. If I had to speak to a con or negative -- I didn't quite get the same "Spaghetti-Western" vibe that I loved in the first Red Dead & you can't access the areas of the first game until    The game is incredible.

    Please remake or update the first Red Dead Redemption with the same RDR2 graphics engine and concepts before making a possible 3rd game... What a gift that would be to play.    … Expand

    Una obra de arte, un juego que revoluciono los gráficos en los juegos, su mundo abierto es lo mejor que jugué, y su infinidad de detalles lo vuelven en un juego impresionante, es un juego que te conecta con el personaje, un personaje que tiene un gran desarrollo a lo largo del juego y termina ganándose nuestro cariño. En fin es uno de los mejores juegos que jugué en mi vida

    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.
