    This game is absolutely fantastic! I had been waiting for this game for a long time now and now that I've got it, it got me completely hooked. The score, the dynamic weather system and the completely believable characters are overwhelming! The intro of the game made me feel like I'm in a Westworld episode directed by Tarantino. Tonnes of exciting side quests to keep me busy for the coming days.

    A genuine work of art. No video game has captivated me as Red Dead Redemption 2 has. The world, the story, the gameplay and the soundtrack. An absolute masterpiece.

    Thank you so much for this Rockstar Games

I honestly could go all day about how great this game is but I'll just keep it at that.

    Sidenote: It honestly amazes me how Rockstar just nails it out of the park everytime, they definitely have another timeless classic on their hands with this, I'd even go as far to say that this may very well be the "San Andreas" of the Red Dead franchise.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 has to be the best game I have played to date, every single aspect of this game delivers something which I haven't experienced in a video game before. Starting with the story. The story missions, in my opinion, are the best I have ever played within an open world game, all of them are very unique and there isn't much repetition at all. Due to you being in a largeRed Dead Redemption 2 has to be the best game I have played to date, every single aspect of this game delivers something which I haven't experienced in a video game before. Starting with the story. The story missions, in my opinion, are the best I have ever played within an open world game, all of them are very unique and there isn't much repetition at all. Due to you being in a large gang, Rockstar has given every gang member a story of their own which almost feels like I'm not even playing one single story campaign, but several, where I can listen to each individual gang members story to see what all of them have experienced. The story missions vary from action-packed robberies to tense stealth missions and much more. The open world aspect is an absolute masterpiece, the world in which you play in is neither too large nor too small, just perfect size and all of the activities you can get up to in free roam are things which no other open world game has included, like holding up a train by placing a stagecoach in front of it and then standing on top of it to wait for it to stop, a similar thing was included in a scene from the movie 'The Assassination of Jesse James'. Things like this just immerse you even more due to it being a wild west game. For once, even GTA V couldn't allow me to experience just admiring the view of the world which you are free to explore. Almost all open world game developers go on about how they can just 'admire the gorgeous view of the world' if you become bored, but in my opinion, that has never happened. Ironically, the only game that has come close to that is the first Red Dead Redemption. Obviously, I am not able to waffle on about all of the things you can do in this game but one last thing I wanted to discuss is the controversial topics which are openly (and without hesitance) included in the game. Topics like racism and sexism which were very prevalent in 1899 (the time which this game is set in) I am not going to spoil any of the story but there are some things which blown me away with amazement and shock. Instead, I will give you a few examples of which I found in free roam, I was browsing around a big city which you end up in around about halfway through the story and found a woman who was advocating for women's rights to vote (which was a big thing in this time era), another example I found which may be a little more offensive to some people, I was walking through the town of Rhodes (which is known for a higher populace of African Americans) in free roam when I saw these white men harassing this black guy (if I remember correctly they were robbing him at the back of the saloon.) and I actually heard one of the white men say "if you don't give up your things now darkie you're gonna receive a bullet in your skull." As i heard this i was blown away with immediate shock! I've only heard things like that (and very rarely) in movies! Cleary this is not something which I would personally hold up to a game developers neck and demand them to include something like this in their game, but it is just inexplicable how Rockstar have done something like this.

    I also hear people waffle on about the shooting and combat system, even though the combat can become a little frustrating at times due to the cover system being changed, I can tell you that the shooting is once again the best within any game. No longer am I just gliding through mission after mission, blasting everything i see with one bullet and killing everyone in 20 seconds. I now have to control the recoil of my weapon and where I am shooting, I now have to utilize my weapons correctly for the right situations as compared to something like GTA V where I could use the weakest pistol in the game and still glide right through everyone. This is the sort of realism which for some reason puts a lot of people off, but I am in love with it, when I kill someone in RDR 2 it actually feels like I have blasted a bullet right through someone's face (which I have), where many games cannot seem to do this. In RDR 2 a pistol FEELS like a pistol, a gun which doesn't do that much damage, and a shotgun FEELS like a shotgun where I can blow through someone's intestines.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth. Red Dead Redemption 2, however, stands out as a pinnacle among masterpieces.

    Yes, it could be uncomfortable to control and take long time to get used to it. However, you also can experience a lot of things which other games can't provide. Absolutely for me, it is one of the best games. Just play at least 10 hours, then you get real experience in this game.

The interaction with the world is amazing. you can have conversations with every single NPC and even just a simple trip across the map can bring so much more as strangers ask for your help / interaction.

    At times, the story feels slow, but like me for some people that is a good thing. I have spent easily 50+ hours on this game and I'm still only 41% through as there is simply so much to do.

    Rockstar should be proud of yet another incredible game release and I look forward to seeing the online.    … Expand

There is everything from hilarious drunken bar encounters to coming across a serial killers crime scenes. Theres also fun treasure hunts, fun hunting gameplay and a variety of different living animals throughout the world to interact with. Although the honor system doesn't quite have a huge effect on the gameplay, it definitely makes you think twice about your actions.

    The only thing I had trouble with in the beginning was the control layout. It's a bit different than other open world/other rockstar games to an extent, but it just takes some time to get used to. I had no complaints about the controls after a few hours of playing.

    The story is also top-notch and has a lot of emotional moments as well. I played the first red dead redemption years ago and don't quite remember everything that happened in the story but it definitely is a great prequel to that game. RDR2 is everything i've been wanting in a video game for a very long time. 10/10 masterpiece. Good Job Rockstar.    … 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]
