    Brilliant, as expected. The most technologically advanced game with one of the greatest stories ever told in videogames.

    This is truly a masterpiece! Everyone who is rating this game below 10 is just a jealous PC gamers, who are just mad about not being able to play this wonderful game of a decade. Just chill out, PC kids, better go watch some streams of a game you can't afford to play.

In fact, I feel like only this developer, Rockstar Games, is capable of delivering a title similar to this experience as their games in the last 15-20 have always set the standard for works that would follow at least a few years later. Now, why I love this particular game and not just its developer. Firstly, as it probably is the shortest one to cover, let's talk technology - the game features the most outstanding graphics I have seen on a console, and my mind can't comprehend how it runs so well. The animation work is beyond praise and all of graphical elements are top notch. The visuals create a rare sense or realism that greatly helps immersion. To top it off, I have encountered very few glitches in what I presume to be more than 300 hours of play time. Next, music - the score is wonderful and emotionally touching. The music dinamically underlines the gameplay and plays a crucial role in key story moments. It flawlessly fits the style and time period the game aims to portray and helps to establish a connection with the characters. Then, the world - and oh my, what a world this is! Probably the most amazing thing about Red Dead 2, it is simply stunning and quite hard to conceive without having played the game. An unseen beofore level of interactivity, creativity, diversity and depth are what elevates this game's world above all others. Not to mention that it is incredibly large and filled to the brim with things to do. RDR2's world feels so lived in, it is sometimes hard to distinguish from reality. Lastly, the story. I think I have to take my words above back, as this may actually be the best thing about the game. This narrative is something that transcends the field of game developoment, as it is just on a whole other level, able to fit into a movie studio or a writer's cabinet with ease. The characters are likely to be the best in gaming with depth, personality and realism that befits only the best of modern writers. The story delivers an incredible amount of moral, philosophical and emtotional dilemmas that can never cease to astonish me. The effort that has gone into establishing this detailed atmosphere with intelligent and meaningful character intreactions is unbelieavable and is probably why Rockstar Games, and namely Dan Houser, have been able to achieve such grand success and critical praise. The evloution and fate of the Van der Linde gang are very compelling, absorbing and worthwhile. The game's protagonish is a very complex, multi-faceted and engaging character who completely draws the player into his personal story as well as into that of his comrades. Starkingly humane at heart, the story is based on both Romantic and Realist themes, as well as some characterstic of Modernism. It shows a freat amount of research and devotion to authenticity. A pure masterpiece, this is a game that would easily be enjoyed by gamers and non-gamers alike, as it is truly and almost overwhlemingly a work of art.… Expand

    just the best open world ! great attention to detail ! GOTY !

    There are still a few developers out there who know what really matters when it comes to video games. Polish, immersion, and gameplay. This is Rockstar's finest work by far. It's the best game I've seen since playing through Witcher 3 GOTY Edition. Attention to detail is the key for me anyway. Is it perfect though? Nope, of    just the best open world ! great attention to detail ! GOTY !

Nope, of course not, but the flaws are so minuscule they simply don't matter. I don't understand the negative reviews here but seems like many PC gamers are hurt that they can't play this amazing game. My advice to them is forget about PC gaming, buy a PS4 (Pro has come down in price recently), and get RDR2.

    This game is simply mesmerizing. You can get lost for hours just wandering around on your horse. The NPCs feel more alive than any game I've played in the past. It's the next step in open world design and Rockstar deserves all the credit and cash they can get. This game deserves a 10 out of 10 but also just countering the pc nerds around here.    … Expand

The story plays out like an epic western (but infinitely better written than any western film) The characters, even the minor one, are all unique and fantastically written and performed. The score is great, though if you're looking to buy it, do look for the official score not the official soundtrack as the soundtrack is just a lot of awful modern pop crap. As for the world itself, it's just incredible. I could spend hours just roaming the beautiful unspoilt countryside.

    The care put into this game is evident. It gets a 10 from me because it is just as fun this second time around as it was the first, and my time being at a premium, and enjoyable replay is the highest honor i can give a video game.

    The level on Guarma is a bit of a weird pit stop for the plot, but It doesn't last particularly long. For people that take exception with the amount of time spent on the epilogue, I have my own personal interpretation of what they were trying to accomplish and without being spoiler-y, I feel that they did what they had set out to.    … 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]
