    - Boring lame chorefest
    - Clunky gameplay
    - Unbearable input lag

    Horrible inconsistent controls.
    Take a cue from Ubisoft games like The Division, etc on how to do better controls.
    Tap to sprint on horse, sucks.
    Amazing storytelling. Great dialogue.
    Pick a pace please.
    Are we running headlong into adventure or just slowly messing around?
    *Overall this game is just a BIG TEASE that is frustrating to play.

    Overhyped trash that got a higher score than God of War cause of the shills of this industry but still could not even win the Game of the Year award because truth be told, it wouldn't have deserved it. Rockstar have lost their edge and San Andreas is still to this day their best game they ever created.

    Critics have praised the attention to detail, quality of graphics, and size of the world. The game is visually incredible. What the "Pro" reviewers failed to point out are major flaws that you don't see until you have put a bit of time into the game.

    The controls are barely tolerable. Your character is forced to walk geriatric speeds in camp, buildings, and missions. This is the    Critics have praised the attention to detail, quality of graphics, and size of the world. The game is visually incredible. What the "Pro" reviewers failed to point out are major flaws that you don't see until you have put a bit of time into the game.

    The controls are barely tolerable. Your character is forced to walk geriatric speeds in camp, buildings, and missions. This is the beginning of the frustrations. Moving on from that you have the lack of no real fast travel. The other faster methods of travel are often minutes away. Riding the horse gets old, especially with it's affinity for going directly into trees.

    Half the missions are formulaic: take a long ride with heavy exposition from the NPCs, who are also **** at you for not going exactly the right pace. Get to a token shoot out. Return to camp. This is interspersed with too many cut scenes. The over arching story is good but it's dragged out twice as long as it should be. A lot of the missions don't need any skill at all, just press X or O when the game tells you, follow the rails to the end goal.

    The side missions are a mixed bag. Poker, Dominoes, Blackjack, just aren't worth playing because of how little they pay out and how long they take. Hunting is okay but it gets overly complicated with the game requiring you to craft special arrows and hit the animal at the perfect spot for the perfect pelt. Bounties are fun, fishing is fun. Looting turns into a chore. Holding X for 2 seconds each time and lining up your character just right so you see the dialog box gets old FAST. Doesn't help also when NPCs are around rushing you.a

    My eyes were telling me this game is incredible. However every time I put down the controller I didn't feel much of an urge to pick it back up. If anything the game feels more like a second job than a fun time. You literally would need a notepad/to-do list to be able to complete some of the challenges. Rockstar forces you to play the way it wants. Which is to take in the world ALL the time, whether you want to or not.    … Expand

    This game suffers in all regards except for visuals. That cannot carry what is essentially the biggest disappointment for me in all of video games. To be honest my expectations weren't all that high to begin with. This is just sad, all the poor video game design choices that could be made, were made.

    A beautifully realised, but utterly boring, case study in how too much emphasis on realism oft comes at the expense of enjoyment. You can only gaze at the vistas so many times before you want the horse to just hurry the f**k up and get there already.

There is not one endearing character in the game, and I frickin loved John Marsden in the first one. The controls are crap, if you don't shoot anyone in a mission where there is multiple people to shoot, they will eventually all die anyway. If i wanted taken by the hand in a western I would watch Clint Eastwood. This is basically a movie you have to press buttons with sometimes, that takes 60 hours to watch. And the story isn't very good. But give it a ten because the horse has balls that dangle less in cold weather and you can make coffee. The most boring things ever in real life. Big effing wow.

The game also makes the weird choice of making it almost impossible to be bad as the penalty is too high and there is no point either to doing so. This makes the game very linear and not very fun like in a GTA title or other modern games that give you true freedom. But the worst flaw in this game is decade old controls, this works in GTA because you do a lot of driving which controls well in that game but in this game in 2018 it feels very amateur and clunky. This would have been a masterpiece if they could have added some decent career progression, fixed the controls and made the world more dynamic and your actions actually made impacts on people and the world. I have no idea how this scores 10/10 from almost every game reviewer, they must have got some serious swag and or money for it. realistically its a 7/10 or 8 at best only because it is still pretty fun to ride around especially in the first 5 hours. With the amount of AAA excellent titles that have recently come out, this game feels like its not in the same class against these recent titles in every area. Graphics are generally good but character models are pretty poor for this day an age and graphics don't make a good game.… Expand

    The GOOD:
    - Great story. You actually care for these people and their experience. I felt so attached I felt their hardship.

    -Beautiful. This ones easy and goes without saying. This is a 2018 game with amazing graphics

    -Plenty to do. I was well into the 40+ hours before I even started the story :P yes, thats the kinda guy I am. I started robbing, trading, hunting, gathering, exploring. Basicly anything I could do to see what could be done.

    -Gameplay. This is a personal thing. ive seen some people complain. And though I agree to some extend...I think the game play is just fine. I like the snap-to-target mechanic. I mean, i`m playing a bad ass and experienced cowboy. It should feel natural that I can mow down 5 guys withing a matter of seconds. Struggling with the manual aim just feels unnatural and like an unrealistic handicap.

    -No bugs. I have encounted NO bugs, and only MINOR glitches. LIke, this one time...Arthurs hand was clipping through his face during a dialoque with Dutch. But, thats really it.
    no crashes....no freezes....No framerate issies....nothing. Runs smooth !

    Now, THE BAD:

    -Chore. And it does....it really does feel like a chore sometime. Skinning, looting, walking, traveling. Yes, arthus feels like a real bulky and heavy dude. But it does tire after a while to skin the same f***ing deer for (literally) the 60th time.

    -Frustrating. Sometimes you get stuck behind something. Or because of the complicated controls you prompt soms command you didn't want. Like jumping into cover instead of picking up a gun.
    It nothing major or game breaking. Just small annoyance that kinda stack up over time and become irritating.

    -Slow and Big. The world is BIG. LIke, it`ll take you a solid 10 min to cross the map from A to B. Though I like the vastness and the regions to explore. It does get a bit annoying when you have to literally travel across the board to get a quest, animal, stranger request or something along those lines.
    The trains and the Coach fast travel system does offer some relief. I admit. But they never get you there all the way. Horseback travel does feel kind of satisfyin though. 60+ hours into it at this point and it still doesnt bother me to ride.

    Like I said, the game is not pefect. BUt I highly recommend. It's most definitly worth atleast 50$    … 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]
