    The beauty in this game is indescribably amazing. Content feels fresh constantly and is almost endless.
    The story is unrivaled by any other game and the controls are exceptionally smooth. It is the only game i will ever consider a masterpiece

    Beautiful visually, but it really lacks a good gameplay. The game is slow, and the story and characters are not very interesting.

Graphically, it is the most beautiful game in the market, as well as being more immersive than it probably should be. Some may say the "ultra-realistic immersion" hurts the gameplay as a whole, and while I don't agree with these statements, I could do definitely see how casual players might be annoyed by these aspects. In terms of the game's story, it's without a doubt the best modern western in recent years and a proper prequel to its predecessor. You will find a wide array of new and returning characters, each memorable in their own way, and with over 500,000 lines of dialogue, every person you meet feels "alive." All in all, with its expansive open-world and fun gameplay loop, this is a game I believe everyone should experience.… Expand

    This games is not perfect like some say but its also not complete **** that others want you to think of it. But its a really nice open world game with random encounters bonding with your comrades and it also has online play. Therefore it gives way more than other games try to sell you for 60 euros. I am satisfied and look forward with the online play :)

The world we play in is the most alive I've seen in an open world game, the details in execution of side missions, NPC's who go about their daily lives, random events and the beauty of the map itself are all astounding. The exploration, hunting, crafting and mini games are all fun in their own right and you can lose a lot of hours within them, which is what I'm doing on my second journey through the game, slowly slowly. My biggest problem is that the gunplay doesn't flow and is rather clunky for the most part, and there isn't really enough of it through main missions as you will spend more time getting to them than you will actually shooting, and being a cowboy game shooting should be done way better than it is. Dead-eye makes it all easier, but it is already quite easy, so I rarely use it, unless I use quick draw which is actually very well done. The story is brilliantly written and acted out, and especially by Arthur, which gets better as the game goes on.

    I recommend this game to anyone who wants a great story, deep world and wants to sink a lot of hours into.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. a little too hyped, but still a solid game. Story is good. Shooting feels good. horses feel great. doesn't have the **** setup missions from gtav. I wish there were some more weapons; I wanted to go to another gunsmith and see the different weapons they had, but every vendor has the same thing. lots of fun shootouts. Has some good humor. Some cut-scenes were really amazing and showed emotion in an indirect manner. I wish the main character was a more compelling, but he still passes as a human being, but I think thats more of a matter of opinion. And lots of side stuff to do. Random encounters arent always a mission and i like that, keep it simple. I am almost done with the game and will be updating my review after that.

    FINAL REVIEW: A really great game. Arthur becomes a father like character by the end of the game and that made me feel a connection towards him. I ended up liking him more than John. The game gets A LOT better after the 3rd chapter. The pace picks up and tensions rise in the later chapters. The ending is set up very well and delivers an emotional experience that I loved so much. There were a few characters I wish I could spend more time with, but the character building was still pretty good. I wish the new area after you complete the game was less empty; there isnt much to do. Sorry if this review is a bit messy, Im just listing any criticism or praise that comes to mind. The people that are giving the game a 0/10 really need to grow the **** up and actually play the game.    … Expand

    My experience with the game so far has been nothing short of fantastic, the horse mechanics, animations and gunplay all look good and felt natural.

Also, I've seen reviews complaining about the gunplay, especially due to the fact that you have to manually run around when in gunfights, manually reload at the same time. Though I do agree that it may not be fanciful to everybody that played it. For me I think it felt purposeful for the type of game it is trying to be. It's mainly due to the fact that each weapon has almost an entirely different feel. There's a certain weight to the combat and shooting due to this that other games have not yet explored. This type of gunplay has not been done before in any game, so I wouldn't blame people for disliking the slow paced, cinematic style Rockstar was aiming for. It does need time to get used to it, it's probably due to common gameplay expectations to come with these sorts of shooting games. It's not a secret Rockstar is a company of experimentation and innovations, it's also clear that their intention was to reinvent 3rd person shooting with a more grounded style of gameplay requiring precise movements and strategy that blends in with their animations. It's more than meets the eye and I just can't help but wonder how many look past all this. Knowing Rockstar as the richest gaming developer in our modern world with 8 years on this game, you would think that there would be a reason behind the gameplay mechanics and decisions in the final outcome. Sad to see that this is underappreciated because of how casual many games have been that fixed our expectations on good shooting mechanics.

    I have yet to finish the story and this was my overall experience with the game so far. Basically Rockstar nailed what they set out to do with this game in terms of immersion, however the disappointing factor for me was that of the NPC interactions, which wasn't as I had imagined originally when showcased in their gameplay trailer.

    This game has not met the criteria for next gen gaming, but what it achieves here has definitely not been done before either.    … Expand

    CONS: In-game days are too short (max 15 mins), default settings for gun play was not ideal (after playing with the settings I made it better), every time you get on your horse you put away your rifles and have to equip them again.
    In conclusion the experience of playing this game far outweigh the cons, and this will most likely win Game of the Year.
    Side-note: if you expect this game to play like GTA you will not like this game, if you don't like a story that slow burns/builds up you will not like this game, if you have a short attention span you will not like this game, if you don't like RPG elements i.e. having to eat you will not like this game.
    Also, the amount of people complaining about having to ride a horse everywhere blows my mind, are people really this dumb? It's a cowboy game, the only means of transportation is a horse or train, they didn't have supercharged cars or planes. If you don't enjoy riding a horse around the map, this game obviously wasn't made for your style of gaming (duh?).    … Expand

    The horse-riding mechanics are terrible, and the game is so profoundly slow and over-indulgent that it takes me completely out of it. Yes, they achieve a level of complexity rarely seen in any video game, but they do it at the expense of a smooth and enjoyable gaming experience. They almost dare you to continue through the absurdly boring and long horsey rides down path after path of their admittedly gorgeous snow-filled landscape. I've only played for a few hours, but I can already tell that this was a mistake of a purchase for me.

    From reading the comments and the endless 10 ratings, I can really only assume that people are going off Rockstar's reputation for making good games. Or maybe they're bots. I'm not sure. But I really can't believe they, IGN and the other game "reviewing" companies are playing the same game I am. The whole thing seems like an intricately decorated, lovingly nurtured, completely hollow experience.

    I am pressing four or five buttons at once at any given time, just to ride and shoot at the same time, or to look through my satchel, or to add things from my satchel to my wheel (which is useless). The "dead eye" thing also has yet to make its purpose known to me.

    4. *Not as fun as Vice City. Story not as good as the first. Witcher 3 still the boss. *
    Свое мнение я хотел бы вытсраивать последовательно, по пунтам, так что начнем.
    №1: Локализация. - Я крайне благодарен рокстар, что они не допускают и никому не дают локализировать игру (в плане озвучивания). Людей которые хулят Rockstar из-за того, что *не завезли русскую озвучку* можно смело послать на три буквы.Очень часто из-за плохого отношения к переводу и локализации, русское звучание может быть просто невыносимым для слуха (как было в том же Ведьмаке). Более того, ты, юный деградант, который ноет о русской локализации должен понимать, что в силлу своих особенностей, русский язык не способен всегда здраво передать игру слов, иронию или другой смысл, который вкладывали сценаристы в ту или иную реплику.
    Подитоживая вышесказанное - учите английский, неучи.
    №2: Мир и графика, - Отдельного пункта достоен мир, но я решил обьединить его и графику под одним тегом. В общем и целом, мир огромен, много приходится ездить верхом.

    Хотел бы сказать спасибо компании Rockstar. Да, они проделали невероятный труд, с родительской любовью сделав игру, которая стала шедевром. Она стоит того, чтобы купить консоль.
    Тебе, мой дорогой читатель, спасибо, если ты дошел до конца. Прошу тебя только об одном. Никогда не выноси суждений, не поиграв в игру. Потому что сейчас просто валом комментариев, которые создаются специально, чтобы снизить оценку игры. Но знай, чем больше говна будут кидать в RDR 2, тем ярче будет сиять этот бриллиант.
    Также, хотелось бы обратиться ко всем недоумкам, которые пишут отзывы по типу тех, что я привел в пример выш - идите на хер и играйте в свой ПК и не нужно кукарекать)

    This game is an amazing piece of work. The attention to detail and nuance is awe inspiring, for a video game. The story and character development walk the line very well between providing original and engaging tales and people, while providing nods to both pop culture / spaghetti western entertainment interpretation of the cowboy era... and some of the hard truths about it.
    As a game    This game is an amazing piece of work. The attention to detail and nuance is awe inspiring, for a video game. The story and character development walk the line very well between providing original and engaging tales and people, while providing nods to both pop culture / spaghetti western entertainment interpretation of the cowboy era... and some of the hard truths about it.
    As a game though, RDR2 is not a perfect game. It isn't a 10 out of 10, a 5/5, a 100% or such. Playing the game itself, is where flaws show their ugly faces.
    Weapon equipping seems to have taken an odd step backward to the 'Halo' mentality, where you have a set number of holster slots you can field. I'm actually mostly alright with this. It's what happens when you interact with your horse, that there is a problem. Your longarm slots just plain depopulate. So, any time you get on your horse and plan to get off, you really need to check your weapon wheel to make sure your longarms came with you. Sometimes, arbitrarily, they do not.
    L1 is the button for readying / holstering your weapon. Intuitively, you would expect that whatever weapon you held last is what gets unholstered with L1. In this game, it's not only not the case, it's nearly completely arbitrary what happens. If you do absolutely nothing else from the last time you drew and holstered your weapon, you'll draw the same gun, whether it's a longarm or a handgun. If you had a longarm used prior, but you stop to loot a guy before engaging in combat again... you'll draw your pistol instead. If you skin an animal, you'll holster/unsheathe your knife, not a gun. If you carried something and dropped it or stowed it on your horse, you'll unholster... your hands. I am not sure what compelled the developer to not simply code the 'unholster' button to just default to 'whatever gun was intentionally picked last', but here we are. L1 doesn't even have any particularly transforming behaviors depending on context, like L2 or square or the rest. This is frustrating and I can't see how anyone could justify this functionality as 'fun' or 'intended'.
    Every other game out there from the beginning of this generation uses either the options button or pressing the touchpad as either going to main menu, or going to map. The touchpad is commonly used for map. The touchpad here instead changes camera distance. I've been playing this game for two days now and i am still pressing the touchpad thinking 'map'. I know long-press on options brings up the map, but it still bothers me. Not a big complaint, but the choice to make the buttons function as such aren't intuitive.
    The cues for context button presses are reduced to this tiny indicator in the lower right. I can understand they don't want to obstruct the visuals, but at the same time, what good are the visuals if you can't look directly at them because you have to watch out for a potential button to push that'll save your life, prevent you from reloading? The indicator should have been made a bit more ostensible.
    Difficulty in this game is weird. You're nearly immortal, so long as you can take cover. Step out of cover though and you may as well have stepped in the direct path of every bullet on earth. A hostile finds you out in the open? One or two guys can be manageable, but anything in excess of that, especially when it seems like they were warped in just outside of camera view to barrel down on you with horses that are absurdly fast, you're dead before you can even touch off dead-eye. Wolves will just tear out your throats with a one-shot, and can take an entire cylinder dump from a revolver and still come at you if you don't hit them in the head. Reloading sees you losing money and whatever skins / animals on your horse you haven't dropped off. I wasn't expecting Dark Souls punishment to come along with a rather obnoxious spike in difficulty over my original RDR experience.
    Lastly, the survival mechanics are much too tedious. Having stamina, health and deadeye being finite resources that you grow, are expected parts of the game. The 'cores', and worrying about having to drop to a submenu and eat a goddamn can of corn, or peaches or something, is just tedious. Add to that, having to wait *three days* between stew servings at camp? Seriously? I'm the dude on the ledger that's providing 2/3rds of the camp's income and logistical engineering leadership, yet I'm entitled to a plate of stew every three days, *and* the stats menu has the temerity to point out that i appear to be "underweight". The 'core' mechanics and tedium involved with keeping yourself fed, are needless in a mostly cinematic action experience type game such as this.
    Summary, RDR2 is a gorgeous game filled with amazing character, attention to detail, and horses that never stop pooping. It is marred however by problems with the 'game' part of it, that prevent it from being perfect.    … Expand

    still i'll try to give my take on this,
    so top marks of looks as everyone has said
    as for the controls , they seem to be about the same as gta , i'd like a 3rd speed in between walking & running tho, combat controls are ok & pretty much as the same as rdr & gta ,the weapon wheel has got me afew things only due to r1 release to select get muddled up with holding the stick in the direction i want to select & i release all buttons at once, but most gunfights are pretty easy with deadeye slow mo anyway ,quick combat mite be a bit harder but a fire arrow or explosive shot takes out most things as the target lock snaps on the same as most rockstar games.
    hunting is great & a good upgrade from rdr so mostly just more from the 1st rdr game.
    As for the story i kinda liked it ,by the end i like how arthur played out as i chose the good path. so by the time the last ride came up i had loads of side stuff done so was nice to hear the voices of the people i had met & helped along the way,of course there are afew slow & down moments but since i had played the 1st rdr game i knew how to keep the side content checked off during the main missions, iv still got afew things to do but only the exotics & cig cards really,but all of the side stuff works into the main game as if u want to boost ur stats or get better weapons its in the side missions & extras ie legendary animals leads to charms which give boosts & pelts for better equipment , the dreamcatchers lead to better bow skills ect ect ,its all linked together
    now for the bad points ,none of which will take the game into red like so many of the liars who scored 0 on here who seem to be unaware of what a bad game really looks like, ,., anyway
    yeah the slow camp walking is abit of a pain but as i said as 3rd walking speed would be nice,
    enemies seems to just spawn in during mission fights so u will get 3 guys on the left bang bang bang ,them 4 more will spawn in on the right bang bang bang bang , then 3more spawn in at the back ect ect if u run up to the spawn point u can get them appearing right next to u so bit too scripted there,
    the hunting legendary animals seems to always have the same 3 steps to it
    the games checkpoints & dead eye made everything a little too easy,iv still to go back & replay alot of missions so i can get the 70 gold but i rarely died in game & if i did i wouldnt be too far back during any mission , tho gta5 had this same thing as well & it made that game too easy as well.
    things in the middle ,ie parts of the game i want fussed about ,not good or bad
    the camp idea was good enough tho id go off for days & as long as u dropped of 1 or 2 hunts everyone was happy & i always was overstocked with goods & money (by the end of the game i had $20k) so i go tall the upgrades & kept the camp happy with little effort
    the horse bond in was ok but at times it freaks out & slows down or just heads for a tree, but as long as u get the hang of things u find out how far u can push it before starts shaking & bucking around,
    & thats about all in all, a pretty good game with afew issues but not many at all,    … Expand

No ADS makes first person feel dated-though it is at least much less laggy, hence more playable than GTA V: Remastered. I'm playing with no aim assist and refuse to use DeadEye, and it's fine. The cover system is sticky and hasn't been improved at-all since GTA V, when again, FarCry, Battlefield, Star Citizen, COD, Wildlands, MoH, Alien Isolation and Cyberpunk have all gone for vastly superior "soft" cover. Also, whilst in third person, you can see yourself hunkering down, whilst in first person, you can always see everything-which feels wrong and like cheating [the trade off for being in cover first-person in all these other games I've mentioned, is increased tension-as you can't see what's going on-I love that, as with the HUD disabled, you're forced to take lots of little "peaks" to eyeball targets, lest someone sneaks up on you]. They might as well have just made the camera third person whenever you're in cover. So if Cyberpunk nails all this first person stuff, which it looks like it already has; then with it's similarly deep NPC interactions, it will eclipse RDR2. So much for all these "objective" 10/10 reviews. I would give it a 9 out of ten, simply because it does pretty much everything else so well that anything less than an 8 seems churlish.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. HORRIBLE controls, slow fps when gun fights start and now all the weapons that used to be accurate are ALL junk. it takes several shots to kill players with headshots from a not too far distant. you have to be at a rocks throw distance to kill players with a one head shot. when you are rifles distance away it now takes several shots. the ai's are stupid as hell, when you try to defend your self in the towns you end up becoming a criminal and when you try to clear out the gang hideouts sometimes you become the criminal if an AI escapes and tells the sherrif. the horses movements are extremly clumsy and when you call them they never come to you, you have to run half the map to reach your horse.
    this game is fastly moving towards a GTA wannabe, next thing they will add is flying carriges and overly explosives weapons. which they already did by adding the explosive bow and arrow. what a stupid thing to add especially when playing in a pvp match or a free for all map where spaces are limited or tight someone uses an explosive arrow and its not even a fun fight. its just stupid.
    the people making these games are obviously just implimenting the same crap that was added to the GTA series.

    If there's one thing that Red Dead Redemption 2 taught me, is that we must stop wasting our time and money on yearly releases, such as COD, AC and so on. Played Odyssey before buying RDR2 and I was feeling absolutely miserable, knowing that Ubisoft had put no effort to show the respect for me, as a players, time. RDR2 on the other hand feels like something from another world.

Played Odyssey before buying RDR2 and I was feeling absolutely miserable, knowing that Ubisoft had put no effort to show the respect for me, as a players, time. RDR2 on the other hand feels like something from another world. Everything that is put into this game is there because it needs to be there, nothing feels forced or unnecessary. At first it may be a handful, but once you get the grips on it, it opens up in an amazing way and suddenly everything in this game (and mostly it's core mechanics) makes sense.
    It's an amazing game, a true masterpiece even.
    Is it the best game I've ever played? Definitely no, there is no such game out there. But this comes close.
    But is it the the most engaging and immersive game I've ever played? Yes, definitely. The world feels alive all the time, the interactions you can have with EVERYONE in this game is just game-changing. While other game worlds feel scripted and programmed, this one is truly dynamic: always changing and adapting to you and your actions.
    I've never been so immersed into a gameplay experience like this so far. By now, I think the only game that can come as close to immersion as RDR2 is CDPR's Cyberpunk 2077, but that's a different story.
    All in all, an amazing game. A 9, not a 10, since on the PS4 Pro they utilized the worst Cherboarding implementation I've seen yet. How did this pass Sony's Quality Control is beyond me, but once you get used to it it's okay I guess, but hopefully Rockstar patch this horrible rendering solution to make it look at least a tiny bit less washed out and pixelated.    … Expand

    Been playing for a couple of hours - as expected, polished to death. The people who made this are maniacs. Was probably not going to bother voting, but it's literally unethical how pc kids vote the game down. Console players unite.

All Fortnight/Battle Royale children need not apply to this game. Flea-jumping across the world won't save you here.
    The map is too large for such small-minded gameplay. You have to grind for sure but WoW has prepared me for life on this necessary evil. You can kill your horse so be careful. Too many gunbattles with my horse parked in a neglectful manner have cost her life, and if you are in the middle of nowhere its a LONG walk to anywhere. Oh. Watch out being an outlaw! It can be downright deadly and expensive but only the tough and onery choose the path of lawlessness so its difficulty is par for reality.
    Plenty of upgrades for weapons, clothing, ammo, and even your camp but again I say the word GRIND GRIND GRIND! Control can be a bit wonky at times. Crouching outside an enemy camp trying to loot the dead you will stand straight up for all to see, your gentle turn to the right or left can end up being a 180 or 360 degree turn, and the gunfights can sometimes feel as if your trying to kill the "Terminator" (see Arnold Schwarzenegger movie) but those are points of complaint, in which time, practice and a little finesse can cure.
    If you like the Western genre and enjoy a challenge this game will easily bring 60 hours of fun nevermind the side missions! I have seen reviews already complaining of 'microtransactions' in the forthcoming live version but that remains to be seen.
    Is this game for everyone? Absolutely not! Yet you would be silly not to give it a shot, especially if you are a mature gamer with experience (40 years + here) who can take care of business without the linear likes of COD and pay-to-win Fortnite.    … Expand

INSANELY detailed in every way, just awesome.
    BUT, it's not perfect. I was really expecting an important improvement in the movement and control of the main character, and maybe in the gunplay section, and it is just Max Payne 3 without some of the cool mechanics (just like the first RDR). The movement of the character is still clunky like all the Rockstar games, at this point I'm afraid to ask why the **** they didn't change that.
    Also, they could improve the witnesses systems, sometimes it seems like they're looking at you via satelite.
    And finaly, I **** hate the hunting system. I mean, yea it has the most realistic hunting mechanics I've ever seen in a non-hunting focused game, and THIS is the problem, i don't like hunting that much and I got bored and annoyed after chasing **** badgers for hours..
    Nonetheless, in general it's an awesome and insanely immersive game.    … Expand

It is an action, adventure RPG.
    Honestly it is a bit sad seeing other players giving it 0 just because of wrong expectations. I think it is a bit disrespectful to the very had work of Rockstar games and the amazing results they produced. Even if the game is not your type, for me personally giving it 0 means 0 appreciation for art (many kinds of art in this game). Objectively, it can't be true that it hasn't a single good thing.

    With that said:

    It is a gorgeous game, a masterpiece. By far the most beautiful open world I have seen in a game. It has deep mechanics consistently throughout the world. Expect to do long horse rides (some find this boring) through the map and encounter unexpected events as you go. Explore surprisingly beautiful landscapes as you travel. Get to learn the characters of your gang and not only theirs. Listen and participate in great stories while you are on the run from the law. In this game it is up to you how much action it has. After all it is an RPG. You decide which role to play.

    To give you an example, one of may favourite things in the game is the memory that the NPCs have. You encounter someone in the wilderness e.g. you save the person from a bad situation and after many hours of playing you visit again the town near this incident. Chances are that you will meet this person and if you listen carefully he will call you and remember you being grateful for the help you gave. This feeling is amazing and makes the world feel so real an immersive.
    Since the game gives you so many things to do, there are a lot of different controls to remember. This can and probably will be a bit overwhelming and you will need a day to get used to. Given the many options though, in my opinion the have done a good job with the controls.

    Enjoy the ride!    … Expand

    What you get out of RDR2 depends a lot on what you're expectations are going in. If you're like me, having played and loved the first game extensively, this prequel game improves upon that in almost every imaginable way.

If you're like me, having played and loved the first game extensively, this prequel game improves upon that in almost every imaginable way. Largely this is due to the time, resources, and talent that R* had in development. If you never played RDR1 but have hundreds of hours in GTA V, you might see some aspects of the gameplay here as comparatively negative.

    RDR2 was designed to be a slow burn game. I've been reading that statement a lot before and since first playing but it really is true. The authenticity to the era is unwavering. Travel by horse is often required and is often very long. There is no radio to listen to along the way. Even the fastest horses still feel slow compared to most vehicles in GTA V. But that is the point. The game wants you to savor the moment, breath things in and perhaps contemplate a little more than you would in other games. Even on foot, exploring the world is deliberately paced. I would go so far as to call the controls sluggish at points. Arthur moves with a certain weightiness in the world that makes things feel very grounded, almost a little too much for a videogame. There are specific and realistic animations for just about every single action Arthur does, from grabbing a can of coffee off a shelf, to roasting meat over a fire, to looting bodies, to cocking his revolver before each shot. There's no way to skip these things, no real shortcuts to watching his actions play out. At times things can seem like a slog, but that is commitment to the feel R* was going for.

    For some perspective, I'm still in the 2nd chapter and have done several side missions and random encounters. I've probably got 15 hours with the game and even that still feels like scratching the surface. I know there are many things I've yet to encounter based on all the hype and previews leading up to release, but I know there are many unknown features also. That is exciting.

    Obviously the game is stunning looking. I'm just playing on my regular PS4 on a Panasonic plasma from 2013, but it still blows me away. I would love to play on upgraded gear, but honestly that won't affect most people's enjoyment level with the game as the core experience is the same across all platforms. The audio is very dynamic and impactful. Voice acting is superb.

    The story is grounded and exciting so far. I'm looking forward to seeing how things play out. Til I finish it I can't say too much about it really, other than the cast of characters is top notch.

    The menu system is a bit convoluted, but I've come to the conclusion that no modern game is going to have an excellent menu system that can manage everything flawlessly. It works, could be better though. The map is really a sore spot for me. It's slow and the icons are too small and almost all look the same. You have to zoom way in or out and it's cumbersome at best. Using the map on the companion app on my tablet has been a big help in that regard. It's pretty cool because it updates in real time based on the actual game map and you can set waypoints more quickly. I recommend using it just for that if nothing else.

    Gunplay and other activities are solid and there are many options for tweaking how easy or challenging you want the aiming, HUD and various other gameplay aspects to be. The physics are sometimes hilarious, but most of the time extremely realistic, especially when you upgrade your horse bonding and can start pulling off the GTA equivalent of drifting and handbrake maneuvers.

    It's very easy to get overwhelmed in a game of this size and scope. Sometimes I have to remind myself of what I was originally trying to accomplish, before I got sidetracked by any number of sights and sounds along my route or an even greater number of RPG style mechanics. Many things can be outright ignored, but more often than not it feels counter intuitive to do that. That is a credit to the world R* has created. RDR2 begs you to explore just a little longer and a little farther each time you jump back in.

    No game of this scope is ever going to be ''perfect'' and objectively there are some issues here, but taken as a whole this is still a landmark game in my opinion and will be a front runner along w/ God of War for 2018's GOTY.    … 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]
