    Brilliant story, and character development throughout the story as it unfolds. Strongly recommend this game to anyone who is fond of open-world, and the Wild Wild West.

    My favorite game of all time. A little sluggish on the movement and the inventory system could have been better. Everything else about the game, I loved it. The in depth details even down to a healthy or unhealthy Arthur. I am a HUGE Zelda fan, but this game tops all.

    6. The final mission of Arthur is the best written conclusion to any game so far
    However, the part 2 and part 4 (Saint Denis) feels a LITTLE BIT bloated n couldve been cut short in my opinion. However this game is worth every penny! Its amazing in all aspects. MUST BUY!    … Expand

    This game is more slow paced than the Grand Theft Auto games, but in my opinion, it's better...

    The weapons are fun to use.
    Being able to customise them is pretty fun.

    The story is probably the best in a game so far, it could've been a film story.

    This game also added a first person mode, which I always seem to spend my time in.

It’s just too long and such a hassle to get through but once you’re through you’ll notice how good of a game it is graphics gameplay open world characters especially the characters Great game and if you’re wishing the sink hours upon hours in a game get this.

In this game, you play as Arthur Morgan, set 10 years before the original game. The forefront of this game is the insane detail of events and actions that make the game feel alive and breathing. Everyone feels weirdly "human". You can choose to have low honor and kill innocent people, however, after a while, you can actually feel somewhat attached to the people you kill. People will also treat you different based off your honor level. This game is visually stunning, sounds beautiful, has memorable characters, and gives a challenge for those who want to 100% the game.

    This game would be a 10/10, however, the "exotics" collectable was so tedious for most people to collect, myself included, that a 100% takes forever and just doesn't feel like it's worth it. There are also a few "challenges" (Horseman 9, Gambler 10 etc), that will certainly take hours to complete. It's not challenging, just annoying.

The story in Red Dead Redemption 2 simply one of the best stories even though the game quite slow and bit massive it still fun to play as the world so immersive. Simply Rockstar does what Rockstar has done over and over again a masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Absolute masterpiece. Read Dead Redemption II is one of the best games I've ever played in my life, and there have been a few. Unfortunately, I didn't play Red Dead Redemption I and that's why I didn't know much about the story of Dutch and the others acting from first game, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with all the characters immediately. I'm not the biggest lover of westerns, whether movies or games. Anyway, this game completely changed my mind about it. The atmosphere is great, the soundtrack is guilty, and not to mention dubbing. It's one of the few games where I really wanted to explore every single piece of the map. All the side quests are great and the main storyline is even better. Anyway, I praised the game now. Now, to come to the disadvantages, which are not so much, but they will definitely ruin your gaming experience. I don't really understand why they gave them a reputation. The only thing I noticed were other dialogues, such as when Arthur dies and you had a good reputation, so others will remember you in a good way and vice versa. And that brings me to the second minus. Why do you even give functions there, such as robbing passers-by or whole shops. I just never understood Tp. You are a bandit, literally your livelihood or you want to "work" depends on robbing people. But almost by no means can you rob people or a business without anyone noticing. And if someone notices you, your reputation will drop, which you don't want because you want to finish it on the so-called "good" Arthur. He would have welcomed the fact that if they had put their reputation away completely and if others would remember you in a good or bad way, the point determined how many side missions or important decisions you had made. I would have a few minuses that have happened to me only a few times, but they are just annoying. E.g. When I was doing the main storyline, I played a great soundtrack there and I rode a horse. I accidentally bumped into and fell. And when I started riding again, the music stopped and played even though I was only halfway through the road. Sure, it's mostly my fault that I can't ride, but the game just has to reckon with. And what bothers me more is when you ride a horse in Saint Denis and you run into OMIL someone, so it has no problem pulling a gun at you and starting to shoot. But no one solves it. If you only dare to punch him after he started firing, all the cops around you will run up to you and arrest you. This is downright a searing mechanism. Well, to sum it all up. Read Dead Redemption II is an absolutely excellent game that I recommend to everyone, even those who do not like westerns, because you will just fall in love with this. The story is great and it made me turn a blind eye to the smaller bugs and give Read Dead Redemption II nine and half out of ten.… 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]
