    But the story is very very good

The game is done perfectly in every sense. as a gamer, it left a strong impression on the year 2018, how advanced technology is and with dedicated effort everything can be achieved, an example is this game RDR2! My opinion is that there is still no game that could go side by side with this one. So yes should have retained the title of the best game of the year! If I could, I would invest a lot of money in a project like this, to continue working on this game, and then to make progress in this direction and, as much as possible, to make both the game and the story itself should be new and even more expanded, because it is worth all the attention and praise and every euro or dollar! I wish Rocketstar all the luck to continue like this and do something incredible like this again!… Expand

    Fantastic video game! Super fun as exciting and, above all, fascinating.
    Kudos to the developers for hunting this pearl in an increasingly barren market. Well done!

    P.S. it works great

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Truly one of if not the greatest video game ever made. There is so much to love about this game and so little to hate.

    Visually the game is by far the most stunning I've played so far. Beautiful landscapes, towns, and wildernesses of all types make the game feel alive and real. It's one of the few games that makes you just want to stop and look at how amazing it is. This is easily the game that best shows the natural Beauty of the U.S. Graphically speaking all the animations, tiny details, slice of life moments, etc, all are rendered beautifully and give the world an unmatched sense of reality.

    That world wouldn't be nearly as impressive of course if it was empty...which RDR2's world certainly isn't. Setting main content aside, the amount of secrets, side quests, stories, characters, and more that dot the map is truly insane. There's always something interesting and unique to discover or take part in.

    Speaking of main content. Red Dead's Story might seem long for a game...but is it easily one of the best stories ever told in gaming. The adventures of the Vanderlinde Gang, Dutch's Fall, Micah's betrayal, John's evolution, and Arthur's journey through it all make for a story on par with some of the greatest novels, TV shows, or movies ever made. Beyond the story itself, the writing, character interactions, voice acting, and more all make it a truly unforgettable experience.

    The gameplay is awesome too, with both combat and other forms of gameplay feeling realistic, reactive, and satisfying. Seriously it's just really fun to shoot stuff in this game...or hunt...or fish...etc. The only drawback to it in my opinion is somethings missions are a bit rudimentary in design...essentially with the player being guided on rails non-stop when inside a mission. It contrasts a lot with the very open and choice driven nature of the rest of the game. Mostly a Rockstar thing rather than this game....but honestly this is such a small complaint for me it doesn't matter.

    Overall a brilliant game that I cannot recommend enough.    … Expand

    Somehow Rockstar Games made a game where hunting, fishing, riding and being a cowboy in a fictional wild west is extremely fun and entertaining. The storyline is compelling and a great piece of art. If they transfered the same amount of enthusiasm to create and expand the online mode, it would be a thriving world there as well.

    Probably the best story game/action game I have ever played. The character development in this game is the best ever. The gameplays hard hitting drama environment and ability to display a story that conveys such feeling and fun intense action at the same time just makes this game such a must play.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I absolutely adored the game and its story it extremely well written each character is charming in there own way and have so much personality unique to one another. It made them feel like real people and I got invested in them, I would always say "hi" Lenny when entering camp and talk to people because i was invested in them and wanted to know what stories they had to tell. Seeing the absence of plot armour for main characters like Hosea and Lenny was fresh and gave the game's events weight knowing that anybody could die. the ending emotive and compelling and made me tier up three times
    1. one the ride to confront the gang with the song all the characters quotes running through Arthur's head
    2. when my horse died (which i named bluster and was overly attached to
    3.when Arthur died looking at the sunrise
    Dutch's betrayal was progressive and emotive with the glint of the eye and walking away from Micah you could tell that he knew that Arthur wasn't the rat. There was signs of Arthur gaining his wits around Dutch's plans from the very start of the game. It sets up the events of RDR1 brilliantly as well.

    Overall the story is a masterpiece and one of the best I've ever seen in gaming

    The game itself is beautiful and lively (I even have a screenshot of the landscape as my wallpaper), the NPC people were intriguing o talk to like the "veteran" with one arm and the nun in Saint Denis and the French drunk. The combat is gritty and fast-paced and makes you really feel like the sharpest shooter in the west. The customisation of your guns, horse and clothing makes Arthur and the playthrough feel your own knowing that no-body has had the exact same experience as you even if its just cosmetically you feel unique.

    The only part i really feel is bad is the collection mechanics being slow and tedious however that does fit the realistic style of the game i wish it could be faster and this is the only aspect that takes the game from a 10 to a 9

    Overall the gameplay is great and I truly recommend people play the game as it sends you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and ha s a great pay-out being a truly heartfelt ending to Arthurs Journey and along the way you will meet charismatic believable people making the experience richer.

    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]
