    When I first started playing the game I was playing it with an open mouth. The level of detail in this game is just Insane and you feel that you are not playing a game but an experience. Is the game perfect, No it is not. Will it give you a great experience, Yeah, it will. Is it worth full price? Yeah, it is.

    Being a big fan of the Grand Theft Auto games, this is my first entry into any other Rockstar franchise, and I must say I am blown away.

    The natural environment, the pacing, the story-telling, the action, everything in this game seems to be perfect. Without much playtime yet I can already acknowledge that this is by far Rockstar's greatest product to date.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a great game. This is easily the best game created by Rockstar. I have found nothing bad about this game while playing it. The graphics are great, story is great.

    Only about an hour and a half in and the level of detail in this world is insane. Rockstar is in their own league, only games that stand close in my opinion (in both gameplay and detail) are Uncharted, Horizon and more recently Spiderman.

    It's been eight years since Red Dead Redemption, and you can tell that Rockstar has spent a lot of that time on this game. The polish on this game is unlike any other so far. And to run the way it does on an original PS4 is a feat. So far it's perfect.

    Note about bad reviews - seems like PC gamers are spamming with negative reviews thinking that R* will all of a sudden port this to PC. I love my PC, and I love buying R* games over and over - I did it with GTA V - bought it on X360, PS4 and then PC. I would do the same with Red Dead 2 - and we may see something like that again. Rockstar is smart when it comes to making money, but I wouldn't wait. If you have a PS4 I'd pick this up now and then play it all over again if it comes to PC.    … Expand

    The attention to details is unparalleled. Red Dead Redemption 2 sets a new standard for the next generation of games and it sets the bar extremely high.

    The game will also reward you for your knowledge of the western movie genre, with the beautiful replicate of "Once Upon a Time in the West" train interior, to scenes, dialogues and acting reminiscent of other Sergio Leone's movies as well as the more recent Tarantino movie.

    This is a game that has been extremely polished, it is gigantic and detailed. The graphics are leaps beyond Grand Theft Auto V, which is incredible considering it runs on the same hardware at an even more fluid framerate. The animations are just as incredible as well as the collision detection. There is much to do here.

    There is a lot of story here and just like an old western epic tale, it starts slowly, introducing all the characters. By the time the first chapter is over you will already know the names of all of them.

    This game is a gem, something no serious gamer can afford to avoid. Some not familiar with Grand Theft Auto controls may find them a bit difficult at first, but it all make sense once you are used to them.

    It is astounding that this game is as perfect as it is and that there is still so much more to come, commencing with a complete multiplayer mode next month.

    Rockstar have just taken the crown of video game developers. They have a product here that could well redefine the quality of the games we get from other companies in the future. I strongly believe that we must support companies that are willing to spend so much time on a single title, as if the exercise would be a failure financially it could jeopardize the development of future games of that magnitude and quality.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is the most alive world in all of video game history. Rockstar has gone above and beyond with the meticulous story and the vast open world. The saying that less is more is void here as in Red Dead Redemption 2 More is More.

The technical aspects, the graphics, the sound, the engine, the physics, all top shelf stuff. This is why Rockstar are a cut above the rest.

    Surprisingly ballsy game from Rockstar. Deliberately far slower paced than anything they've done. Most negative reviews are being blamed on salty PC people but frankly I think it has more to do with the slow pace of the game.

It's definitely not for everyone, but if you played the first game and were invested in the characters this game turns the writing, storytelling, drama etc. up to 11. This combined with the insane visuals and cinematography in cut-scenes meant that much of the time while playing this game I genuinely felt like I was watching a western movie.

    This is NOT a game you get if you want to play a fun action game. This is a game you get if you want to genuinely be immersed into a wild west experience. It's definitely not so focused on realism that it becomes unfun but it is much different than any Rockstar game I've ever played and is actually fairly comparable to a less clunky Kingdom Come Deliverance in terms of mechanics and the general feeling of the world.

    Also, the world is insanely huge, the story so far is fantastic and engaging, and the epilogue is supposed to be revelatory (but I don't know what happens yet). If you enjoy slow, methodical, well-paced games that are more focused on atmosphere and experience than constant explosions and firefights this is for you.    … Expand

From the thoughtfully crafted story that keeps you hooked into the game and leaves you wondering what will happen in the game much later on, to the masterfully baked action that feels faster and more jam packed than ever and all the way to the graphics,world and sound design that are now more alive and immersive than ever thanks in part to tremendous improvement done to the graphics and core ai and sound systems in the game. Even after playing the game for several hours and managing to complete the story,I'm still finding new things during my open world exploration that i haven't seen in my previous playthroughs of the game,and the game itself is packed with immense details even for the smaller pieces,every nook and cranny in the game has its own unique little detail ready to be discovered by the player and it keeps the player constantly engaged in a world that is now much more alive and realistic than ever and one that constantly reacts to your presence in accordance to your actions and choices. Definitely an amazing game and one that'll be talked about for years to come. Amazing job rockstar,you've outdone yourselves again. And before i close this review down,i have a note towards pc gamers,just because the game hasn't been released on your system doesn't mean you need to behave like 5 year olds and giving the game 0s and 1s, rockstar hasn't yet said anything about a pc version of the game, but if they do you'll hear it in due time, you might get the game on pc 18 months down the line and looking better than ever or you might not get it at all,it all depends on what rockstar decides,but please stop acting like you own everything in the gaming world because honestly,you really don't. Other than that,to those of you who haven't played the game yet but have one of the platforms it's available on, do yourself a massive favour and pick it up. You'll certainly not be disappointed.… Expand

    What an absolute peach of a game this is, yes the controls take getting used to and they can be quite clunky, but once you get used to them it’s a minor. As for the open world, well what can I say, I have never experienced an open world quite like it. Phenomenal.

    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]
