    First off let me start by stating this game is a masterpiece.
    In short the game is gorgeous! The story is amazingly well written, and it's still repayable after you complete it.
    The only downside that I have seen so far is the controls and aiming, which can be adjusted to your liking but not as much as you would like, as you cannot disable acceleration completely. I hope that when (or    First off let me start by stating this game is a masterpiece.

    Very detailed, and really fun to explore the game world. quests are good overall and there are a lot of different activities to keep you entertained....honestly it's real easy to lose yourself for several hours just exploring....my only disappointment with the game is the terrible control scheme...R* really needs to consider updating this because it just feels clunky.

    Como juego es una pasada, de lo mejor en la historia de los video juegos. Pero el mayor problema que tiene es su historia. No por lo lenta, si no por sus argumentos.
    El juego deja mucho que desear en ese sentido, pero lo demás es espectacular.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The detail in the game is superb. Rockstar has really done a extremely nice job developing every little detail in the game. I played the story quite fast trough and I was left this empty feeling "was this it?". But after you have played the story trough you really start to miss all the characters left behind and you realize that Arthur after all the time deep inside is a unfortunate man trying to do the best after all the bad things he has done. I actually after the main story really started to miss Arthur and the characters that died so much that I ended up starting a new game and playing it trough with more focus on other thing than the main story, This game really made me appreciate the ups and downs during the story.… Expand

Rockstar Games open world konusunda çığır açmış bir firma ve umarim diğer firmalar da bu oyuna verilen emeklerden bir ders çıkartır.

    Oyunda belli bir süre sonra fast travel'ı açmış olmama rağmen kullanma gereği duymadım hiç. Çünkü oyunu oynarken karşınıza türlü türlü etkinlikler ve yan questler çıkıyor. Gerçekçi dinamikleri , tüyleri diken diken eden müzikleri , atmosferi ile yılın oyunu olmayı hak eden oyunlardan birisi olmuş.
    Oyunun fizik motoru Gta 5'e kıyasla daha gerçekçi olmuş. Oyunu Playstation 4 Pro'da deneyimledim. Çözünürlük ve renk konusunda beni fazlasıyla tatmin etti. ( Samsung 49KS8500 ) Oyunun tek sıkıntısı HDR 'ın fake HDR olması. Bu konu ile ilgili bir yama bekledim fakat oyun genel olarak hatasız olduğu için gerek duyulmadı sanırım ama Rockstar Games bu konu üzerinde hızla çalışıyormuş. Oyun ile ilgili verebileceğim tavsiye tadını çıkara çıkara oynayın. Bol bol yan questleri karşınıza çıktıkça yapın. Bu oyun bittiğinde, open world oyunlarına bakış açınız , diğer oyunları değerlendirme kriteriniz fazlasıyla yükseltecek.

    Oyunun Multiplayer versiyonu için henüz bir video gelmedi fakat merakla beklemekteyiz. Single playerda deneyimlediğim şu tecrübeler ile multiplayer hakkında heyecanlanmamak özellikle GTA V Online başarısından sonra elde değil. God of war ve Red Dead Redemption 2 yılın oyunu adayı. Bu iki oyun içinde hangisi kazanırsa kazansın hak etmiş olacak çünkü.

    Fake HDR and annoying blurriness all the time with PS4 PRO. Game is okay but not as good as game sites rated it.

    Rockstar cheated us customers with fake hdr which is unacceptable nowadays.

Only you are so used to running around like Superman in video games that you forgot actual people don't move that way.
    The story is amazing, the gameplay is so much fun, the AI is very, very well done and very smart, the open world is so organic and reacts to the player like I have never seen, the graphics are amazing. Side activities are fun and you really want to do them. The games has a slow pace at times, but it makes sense for the world you are in, and the year you are in. I cannot believe this is an issue with some people. The games has the pace that it needs to have. It's just perfect. But again the world keeps moving so fast people forgot how to sit down, enjoy a story and a great game. Congrats Rockstar. You nailed it. Don't listen to the negative comments, because they have no clue about what they are talking about. A score of 97, and the majority of people have seen what you have achieved. And that's all that matters. There will always be mindless zombies who enjoy mindless games, and don't appreciated real quality. That's the sad truth.    … Expand

This game is overrated, the score should be around 7-8. However, I give a 8 because I respect the sheer amazing detail Rockstar has put in this game. I will keep short here since many most helpful reviews did a great job of criticizing the bad things. Besides, I might revise my review later once I am done with the game.

    Major Pros
    - Amazing Detailed World
    - NPCs feel like real persons. Many different dialogues.
    - Hunting feels fantastic
    - Side activities are good, I love hunting down wanted criminals.
    - Various mini games. (I like poker game)

    Major Cons
    - Control is weird and need a lot of memorizing (But become less problem once you get used to it). You may need to check online for clearer explanation of control since ingame does not give you a controller mapping. (why ?)
    - No Fast travel in early game ( You need to upgrade camp to get fast travel ability but it costs a lot)
    - Law is too restrict. Bumping someone can easily lead to gunfight and you get a fine for murderer. This is not right. In real life situation, you should be able to apologize
    - Chores - can't skip taking a bath.
    - Lack of freedom in term of choices. Most of the times, you will have only 2 choices, good or bad, nothing in between. For example, there was a main mission that I had to talk with the priests, I could only talked politely with them, like I was interested in their religion, or choked their leader to dead. This felt wrong to me. I should have been able to aim my gun and threaten them to go away.
    - No quick save
    - Main character attitude is unlikable for me. I personally don't like his voice as well.

    In Sum, RDR2 is great in detailed world but not as great in gameplay. It is still a good fun game if you have patience but the realistic should be optional. For people who want fast paced game, devs should give a choice to skip chore scenes and allow fast travel at the beginning of the game.. For those who hasn't played the game yet, I would advise to wait and see if Rockstar will have a patch to tone down the wanted system or not. I love its realistic though but as it stands now my Witcher 3 is much better game in comparison.    … Expand

    "When you realise the sad truth....
    ....That you''l never see red dead redemption 2 for the first time again"

    One of the most impressive games I've ever played. Slow gameplay allows you to feel the atmosphere, gives time to pay attention to small details. This is not even a game, but an interactive series that captures and immerses in itself.
    I also started to love horses.

    still i'll try to give my take on this,
    so top marks of looks as everyone has said
    as for the controls , they seem to be about the same as gta , i'd like a 3rd speed in between walking & running tho, combat controls are ok & pretty much as the same as rdr & gta ,the weapon wheel has got me afew things only due to r1 release to select get muddled up with holding the stick in the direction i want to select & i release all buttons at once, but most gunfights are pretty easy with deadeye slow mo anyway ,quick combat mite be a bit harder but a fire arrow or explosive shot takes out most things as the target lock snaps on the same as most rockstar games.
    hunting is great & a good upgrade from rdr so mostly just more from the 1st rdr game.
    As for the story i kinda liked it ,by the end i like how arthur played out as i chose the good path. so by the time the last ride came up i had loads of side stuff done so was nice to hear the voices of the people i had met & helped along the way,of course there are afew slow & down moments but since i had played the 1st rdr game i knew how to keep the side content checked off during the main missions, iv still got afew things to do but only the exotics & cig cards really,but all of the side stuff works into the main game as if u want to boost ur stats or get better weapons its in the side missions & extras ie legendary animals leads to charms which give boosts & pelts for better equipment , the dreamcatchers lead to better bow skills ect ect ,its all linked together
    now for the bad points ,none of which will take the game into red like so many of the liars who scored 0 on here who seem to be unaware of what a bad game really looks like, ,., anyway
    yeah the slow camp walking is abit of a pain but as i said as 3rd walking speed would be nice,
    enemies seems to just spawn in during mission fights so u will get 3 guys on the left bang bang bang ,them 4 more will spawn in on the right bang bang bang bang , then 3more spawn in at the back ect ect if u run up to the spawn point u can get them appearing right next to u so bit too scripted there,
    the hunting legendary animals seems to always have the same 3 steps to it
    the games checkpoints & dead eye made everything a little too easy,iv still to go back & replay alot of missions so i can get the 70 gold but i rarely died in game & if i did i wouldnt be too far back during any mission , tho gta5 had this same thing as well & it made that game too easy as well.
    things in the middle ,ie parts of the game i want fussed about ,not good or bad
    the camp idea was good enough tho id go off for days & as long as u dropped of 1 or 2 hunts everyone was happy & i always was overstocked with goods & money (by the end of the game i had $20k) so i go tall the upgrades & kept the camp happy with little effort
    the horse bond in was ok but at times it freaks out & slows down or just heads for a tree, but as long as u get the hang of things u find out how far u can push it before starts shaking & bucking around,
    & thats about all in all, a pretty good game with afew issues but not many at all,    … Expand

Lastly, I just have a small issue with let's say helping a stranger and for some reason, your horse falls and hits them or something like that, and they get angry and don't give you a reward or acknowledge that you still helped them.

While the Red Dead Redemption was ambitious due to the Red Dead Revolver not showing much promise as other rockstar IP. But this sequel of the original Red Dead Redemption is far more ambitious than GTA 5. I liked this game because this game shows how the world evolves and how Civilization changes.

    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]
