    Awsome game really injoy every hour i play in it. There are some minor flaws, but this is really a great game that was made with love and attention to small details. Rockstar once again showed everyone what an open world should look like in games.

    this is an amazing game, the controls are the standard rockstar fair that make the character feel more human vs your other open world games were you move like a ninja on crack. ignore the troll reviews, if you read through the first few you'll find an angry basement dwelling PC fan who feels slighted and more and a few people who strait up state they don't like Rockstar games. the internetthis is an amazing game, the controls are the standard rockstar fair that make the character feel more human vs your other open world games were you move like a ninja on crack. ignore the troll reviews, if you read through the first few you'll find an angry basement dwelling PC fan who feels slighted and more and a few people who strait up state they don't like Rockstar games. the internet gives voice to the lonely and sad.… Expand

    YA BEAUTY!

    What is there to say? Rockstar took GTA into another level on GTAV but this time they just stepped up their game onto a whole different level.

    We're on the precipice of a new era in gaming. A new genre is emerging.

    Looks like immersion is back on the menu boys.

    51% complete and have not been bored one minute out of those 35+ hours. Beautiful graphics, entertaining combat, dense cities, impacting decisions, and intriguing character development within the story. All of these characteristics of RDR2 make it an instant classic.

    For those giving this game a 0 - You're cheating Rockstar out of a reasonable score.

    For those giving this game a 0 - You're cheating Rockstar out of a reasonable score. In no world does this game deserve a negative score. Those reviewers either can't play the game on their PC, over-dramatize rare bugs, or just have some odd kind of hatred towards polished single-player games. Don't pay any attention to the 0's here. This game is as deserving of a 10 as any. The only fair gripe that can be made regards clunky controls and clunky movement from Arthur. There are alternative controller configurations, so it only takes a few hours to get accustomed to Rockstar's "heavy" movement response. All other complaints about the game on this thread are most likely unjustified and unfairly claimed.    … Expand

    This game is incredible. The attention to detail, character development, atmosphere, deep gameplay mechanics, music, everything.

    Well here is a very good example of why red dead redemption 2 deserves a 10 and not a 9 or 8, But yet im gonna talk with the downside a little bit and hope that Rockstar will fix later on in future games the movement system with that x tap and not to mention that sometimes the character walks way to slow and when youre holding the x button he sprints and crashes into people and you loseWell here is a very good example of why red dead redemption 2 deserves a 10 and not a 9 or 8, But yet im gonna talk with the downside a little bit and hope that Rockstar will fix later on in future games the movement system with that x tap and not to mention that sometimes the character walks way to slow and when youre holding the x button he sprints and crashes into people and you lose honor and even the horse riding is a bit of a pain they could at least make the movement in the game like TLOZBW Nintendo nailed the whole movement system perfectly but i know rockstar could take it to the next level with their realism POV (overall rockstar the movement is clunky and annoying at times) ... Now that thats out of my way (ill try to keep it short) the rest of the game is a 10/10 cuz you have so much to do besides story missions, you have fishing, hunting, horse caring, bounty hunting, side missions, attractions, and even just exploring the whole map is an adventure of its own ! i really see things where rockstar are taking their games and its definitely the step up in video games ! the story is outstanding with such a powerful voice acting ! and the actors on the cinematics are very talented ! the game sometimes even questioned me if im playing a real life story of another person or is this one of rockstars biggest game right now and they have totally nailed it on both ! the game is alive and very accurate in the historical time and age of outlaws right before ww1 and on the time of the countries civil war and the immigration to the usa... By far i think im just in love with this game the soundtrack the activities of mini games and just hanging around and doing chores in the camp and so much more that i mentioned before i am enjoying every bit of it ! and with all of what i have done in the game im still hungry to enjoy it more ! people all over youtube are finding more stuff and references in the game i also think i should do review videos to get into many more specifics but for now i do highly recommend this game ! this is the kind of game that should be in everybody's library and i am looking forward to see whats next with rockstar those guys are talented and even the people in the studio are very much talented and even the people in the game all the characters and npc's are very very talented i am very much in love with this game ! and did i also talk about the action on horses and gunplay? well thats where the game is a true wild west and you also need to take care of youre weapons and horses the shooting is sublime as well is the horse riding and chasing the action in this game is superb !!!! Even the progression system is super rewarding and i love the honor mechanic also it really makes a good change for your world in the game !! Overall this is a game i will never get out of my mind in ages i truly love this game!!!!… Expand

    Um dos melhores jogos de todos os tempos já jogado por mim, diferente de um GTA 5 é um jogo cadenciado, com uma historia magnifica, onde você realmente se sente como um cowboy, um fora da lei. Pra quem gosta de vídeo game, esse jogo é obrigatório de ser jogado.
    Gráficos, ambientação, historia, som, imagem, tudo nota 10.

    4) Bounty Hunters are very annoying whenever the amount for your bounty is high.
    5) I wish there was an option to sell or get rid of weapons in your inventory.
    6) Members of your camp don't help out. It is frustrating that they rely on you so much to get everything for them. Even when upgrading the camp i was like why can't other members of the camp upgrade that.

    Other than that this game is AMAZING and i think it will be hard for other open world games to beat this one for the years to come. Thank you Rockstar for putting so much effort into this game!    … 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]
