    Единственный аспект который в этой игре подкачал, это сюжет, который разгоняется только ближе к концу и дает очень скомканную концовку. Ну а так в остальном это всё таки прорыв.

    When I compare this game to others out there this is in no doubt a masterpiece. I loved the story and gameplay so much im truly sad ive beaten the game just now I wish I could play forever. Thank you rockstar I truly had a blast playing this game it took my mind off the death of my grandad. Small things here and there I didnt like were no runing in camp. Wish I could run anywhere.

    This game is amazing, Simply a masterpiece. Beautiful and detailed. Anyone that says this game is boring is obviously a SJW or a millennial with no attention span that just wants to play Fortnite.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 has been written about ad nauseam so I will keep this simple and to the point. The game is a technical marvel with its systems and graphics.

    Strong contender for GOTY 2018. Red Dead 2 being a prequel to Red Dead 1 means some things about the story are pre-determined, but I found myself wanting to uncover that journey for the journey itself.

    This is the BEST WORST GAME EVER!

    The graphics side: WOW, AMAZING, SO... WOAH!

    The controls side: just, BAD... clunky, and so bad bad...
    you get a wanted level for doing absolutely nothing... You accidentally press R2 and you have a gun pointing, bam... wanted level... And another problem: controls change, the 'pickup' or 'conversation' buttons change between X O and /. Overall a 5 MAX

    Absolute masterpiece and GOTY in my opinion. A lot of angry PC users try to downplay the hype but the truth is this game set the new standards for video games in 2019 and if you have the chance you should pick this game up.

    Big. Gorgeous. Realistic. Maybe too much realistic. Slow. Too slow. It's a wonderful far-west simulator. It's so real to become boring.

    An Amazing Experience start to finish, and a definite must buy. The Long rides can drag on sometimes but this is countered by the exceptional graphics and lifelike world. the Controls could definitely be improved, as you often find yourself with clunky encounters during combat. however this game is one of the most impressive games of this decade.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is just one of the greatest games ever made and its probably the greatest game ever made. Arthut is the better rockstar character of all time, at the beggining of the game I thought he was just another character but I was wrong and He is amazing I'll never forget Arthur Morgan and his howdy

    The voice acting is adequate, but the dialogue and voices are very heavy-handed sterotyped old western, they could have dialed it back to make it less distracting. Perhaps the director for the game's voice actors was a 12 yr old? I hate arthur's voice, it's gruffness is hyperbolic and annoying.

    The gameplay is awkward, slow, and controls are unintuitive, lack a predictable learning flow. This really hurts gameplay.

    The way the game forces you through the narrative lacks a feeling of freedom. It's also poorly written. There's tediousness in having to shampoo your horses's feelings and shampoo arthur. Give me a break, It's boring.

    To sum it up simply, this game feels like a horribly long demo that is visually beautiful. It's not worth the time and energy. I would wait to buy it used at a much lower price to give it a try. Cheers.    … Expand

    Well to start out the story 60+ hours depending on your time consumption.

The historical references are all there and make since with tongue and cheek personality as well as impartiality. The diverse cast of characters break stereotypes so this game is not just Grand Theft Horse, This game is a whole new step by Rockstars Games in order to bring back traditional story telling and multiplayer with a vast array of combat and minigames. Poker Dominoes Five Finger Fillet that is only included in the story mode but is reasonable because the Online is in the Beta Fish stage. Also the fist fighting is really impressive with the amount of detail and realism. The level design is perfect because of the amount of realism and environmental effects, So to some it all up the game has very few flaws that can't be picked at because the amount of positives out weigh the negatives. This game deserved game of the year.… Expand

Rockstar has created a world that is so beautiful, varied but still believable since the witcher 3 was no game world anymore. If you take enough time you will find small and big stories everywhere and they are all different and unique. The game finds in almost every point the perfect balance between complexity and fun, whether hunting, fishing or looking for treasures. The main story is almost always exciting and convinces by cleverly set highlights. I think the graphics are the best you'll see in an Open World game on the current console creation and I've had almost no bugs so far (excluded RD online). This game needs time to unfold its magic and if there is one thing that is common to almost all the other reviews with a rating of 7 and less here, then it is that they've not taken that time.… Expand

    I started this game on October 26th and only today i've finished. It was so good that my wife that doesn't like most of the games came play too, most to hunt preys or fishing, but it was so interesting seeing her trying... xD The gameplay is so good and the story is awesome. Finally, today, December 17th, i don't know what to do... I'm in the middle of a crysis... Well... 10/10 Rockstar.

    I picked RDR2 up on release night, and just finished the main story nearly 4 months later. Simply put -- Game of the year, game of the decade, game of the century (thus far). As far as weaknesses -- its' plot is definitely that of a video game -- which can be seen as a flaw, and the pacing is (refreshingly) slow.

The handful of mediocre reviews I see for this game are deluded by some presupposition of expectations that could probably never be met, I guess some folks need to dissent from popular opinion. Normally I might be that guy as well, but this game is gold. The lack of interactivity those folks tend to complain about are minute in scale compared to the overall scope of the game.

    If RDR2 were able to be in VR it would be a near-singularity experience at times as far as immersion and detail, scale and pacing. Playing RDR2 during this long and crappy 2018/2019 winter season has been a life-saver from cabin fever, as the organic and immersive experience has been a nice getaway from the sub-zero cold and layers upon layers of waist deep snow keeping me trapped indoors.

    In a world where game reviews seem bought and paid for and 10/10's are way more common than they should be, RDR2 earns every bit of praise it's been showered with and should have handily beat out GOW for game of the year in 2018.    … 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]
