    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is awesome. These beautiful horns start up as Arthur rides through the blizzard and over the mountain with wind chimes twinkling in the background. It’s just 3 seconds in and I already am in love with this game. But what’s even crazier is that it gets better. The characters in the gang are complex and interesting. They all feel real distinct and all are attempting to find their way in a rapidly changing America. They’re all complicated and layered people and watching them all interact in the camp is so interesting. The camp, by the way, is awesome. Like Zelda, there are so many little details in this world that encourage you to just watch your surroundings. Your reputation changes with your actions in other towns, shopkeepers will be short with you if you’re known for stealing in a town. The characters all have their own schedules that are dynamic and can change with rain or as the story develops. They’ll play poker with each other, they’ll have drinks, they’ll get into arguments, they’ll fight, even their actions on their own are consistent with their character. Like Dutch can be found sometimes listening to classical music because he’s idealistic and believes in elevating himself. A lot of nights you can find them telling stories around a campfire. Even these minor side characters in the towns are developed in ways most other games don’t even try to do. These poker players in this town are just total dickheads. These two psychos murdered their mom and will try to rob you. People will actually react if you steal their horse and then return it to them later. There are a ton of little details sprinkled throughout the world that encourage you to press and probe it for little secrets and try to uncover what happened in these mysterious, creepy places. The story, too, is extremely strong. Each mission keeps building on the last by fleshing out these characters further and continuing to test their limits as the ties of the gang are strained and everyone just tries to hold on to what they care about before it all comes tumbling down. Despite their flaws, I truly cared about and loved these characters which made their circumstances all the more tragic. In the first half of the game I was completely enthralled, there were so many iconic moments and then D’Angelo came in here with Unshaken and I was floored. I could not wait to see what was next. Then: chapter 5 hit and all of the forward momentum of the story completely stopped and then for the rest of the game meanders towards a weak conclusion. And as the story started to falter a lot of other issues started to show for me as well. The cover system feels ancient, a lot of the game is spent just riding around on a horse, the combat gets a little repetitive as it just feels like one shooting gallery after another, and there are just not that many ways to approach the missions in the game. If the combat was just a little bit more dynamic than sitting behind cover or if there were more ways to approach missions then the weaker segments of the story would be forgivable but as it stands there is a dramatic drop in quality from the first half of the game to the second. Still, even the weaker segments in this game have some good moments in there and I wouldn’t even classify them as bad just weaker than the rest of the game. I would rather play the second half of this game than most other games this year. Definitely right now I’m going to give Red Dead 2 an 8 out of 10, but when I replay it that might bump it up to a 9 for me.… Expand

In terms of content, this game is massive, $60 is a bargain for the amount of hours you will get out of this. The attention to detail is insane. Almost everything is animated beautifully, from looting to the various ways of getting on your horse. I can keep going but there is just too many pros to list and I'll just be writing this review all day.

    Cons include boring gunplay. It's your typical rockstar cover system with auto-lock on. Nothing special there. Also, lots of small QoL things. It's impossible to polish every single aspect of a game this massive, but no fast travel (even after you beat the game) and annoyances like your weapon being holstered on your horse each time you get off it so you have to manually select it over and over again are obvious things that should have been addressed.    … Expand

    Let’s get what this game gets right out of the way first: the visuals. This game defies belief... especially if playing on a proper HDR screen. The attention to detail in the animation, the weather effects and particularly the mud and snow effects are like nothing else in gaming. Although it’s far from perfect... I’ll come back to this. The music and sound effects are alsoLet’s get what this game gets right out of the way first: the visuals. This game defies belief... especially if playing on a proper HDR screen. The attention to detail in the animation, the weather effects and particularly the mud and snow effects are like nothing else in gaming. Although it’s far from perfect... I’ll come back to this. The music and sound effects are also incredible... just take the noise your horse’s hooves make on the various different surfaces. A lot of effort went into that. The surround sound placement is possibly the best I’ve seen in a PS4 game.

    Now the bad... the user interface and controls of this game are without doubt the most confusing and badly designed I’ve ever encountered... and bear in mind that I play (and have no problem with) Elite Dangerous on the PS4. Let me give you just 4 examples (but there are loads more).

    Example 1: To bring up the weapon/item wheel, you hold L1, then hold a direction with the right joystick, then release L1 while still holding that direction. The problem is that the right joystick moves the camera after exiting the weapon wheel, which is irritating if what you were wanting to do was switch weapons.

    Example 2: Selecting certain weapons involves holding L1 to bring up the wheel, holding the right joystick in a direction to select a category, then pressing L2 or R2 to cycle through those choices.

    Example 3: Quick draw... you’re told to gently hold the R2 button until a meter rises to a certain level... except the meter is not very obvious. I’ve not looked this up on the Internet yet, but after 3 or 4 quick draws... I have no idea what meter they’re talking about, but the screen also turns yellow, so I wait for that to happen before fully depressing R2, and then maybe spamming R2 a few more times. And this seems to work! But it’s very likely not what you’re supposed to do. Each quick draw seems to have its own rules as to what a successful outcome should be.

    Example 4. Cinematic View... you hold down a button (the touchpad on PS4) to initiate cinematic mode, and are told to hold the 'X' button to continue moving. But you're then told R3 will change camera angles. With your thumb already on 'X', how exactly are you supposed to do that?

    And these are just part of the “standard“ controls - you also get completely different ad hoc controls for things like changing a wheel on a wagon. What it reminds me of most is those awful David Cage games. It’s all horrendously confusing. If you’re playing every day, then you do eventually get used to it, but if you stop playing this game for more than a week, getting back into it is gruelling.

    The story isn't terribly interesting, the characters are mostly two-dimensional stereotypes and the dialogue's the typical Rockstar fare... what you'd expect a teenager to write after watching a bunch of Tarantino/Scorcese movies.

    Also disappointing is the relative lack of interactivity. So much of the main story is effectively "on rails", with you as little more than a bystander. In one mission, you have to rescue a particularly unpleasant person from jail or else he will hang. There's no option to not reduce him and simply watch him hang. In another mission, someone gives you a hand-drawn map showing clues where to find some treasure... but as soon as you put the map away, the game gives you the location of the treasure on your main map anyway, so there's no puzzle to solve... you just follow where the game tells you to go. How patronising.

    Back to those visuals... good as they are, they’re far from perfect. The number of times your main character clips through objects (e.g. when sitting on a train or tram seat)... given the attention to detail elsewhere, this feels sloppy. First time I encountered the palaeontologist lady, she was clipping through the scenery too... and the first time I visited the “fence” in Emerald Farm, his entire shop counter was invisible, save for a candlestick floating in the air in front of him. One of the most common in-game sequences is where you sit down on your bed to take a nap... and your gun holster clips through the bed. NPCs commonly get stuck on scenery. And this is in July 2020... why have these things not been patched? This is Elder Scrolls levels of bugs.

    So, on the one hand, you have this absurd attention to details that don’t really matter... and on the other you have areas (UI and gameplay consistency) that do matter neglected entirely. When you consider the punishing hours the developers reported put into this... well it shows that “crunch“ merely delivers quantity rather than quality.

    What bewilders me still is the ludicrously high review scores the game got... but I put this down to craven sycophancy in the gaming press, combined with a similar attitude to rushing out material to meet a deadline    … Expand

    Once again i'm disappointed that the protagonist of the story gets killed. I think I would have finished the extra parts of the game if he was still the main guy as opposed to going back to John again. Also with the story it becomes a little by the numbers by the end, I wish you could have had a choice of when you exited the family as it becomes so blaringly obvious that Dutch and Micah are leading the family to hell. Annoyed that it wasn't Arthur that killed Micah too and it felt disappointingly uneven that Micah got away from Arthur before he died. Hopefully RD3 will feature maybe a new set of characters as I think i've had enough of these ones after two outings. Maybe seeing what happened to Charles in Canada would be interesting though.    … Expand

    Rich with story, characters you attach too...even your horse, and over 30 hours in, the game still presents me with content thats surprising. I would give this game a 10/10 if it had more RPG elements like stats on clothing and a little more detailed stat layout for guns and your character. Along with upgradable skills. Some how though, the game doesnt even have me worrying about it.

If you hated the chase missions in GTA, congratulations, cause they're back too.

    Open world games have moved on, with games like Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West, as well as Breath of the Wild. It's time Rockstar updated their ancient formula and keep up with the times. The fact this game is so highly rated shows how much people are blinded by the name and title rather than judging a game for what it is, an old rinse and repeat tedious formula with a really pretty skin over it.    … Expand

    RDR2 is an extraordinary game, one of the most immersive games out there and for sure the most immersive open world game I've ever played.

There are only a few games that manage to make you feel insignificant, just as any other person in that world (at least for a while). Most games make you feel the entire world is created as a playground for you to enjoy. You have so many things to discover if you pay attention. So many things in the world hide clues for you to find, so many random events make you feel the world is organic and believable. It isn't the classic open world where you have to climb somewhere tall in order to find everything you can do in an area and after you cleanup that area you go to the next area and so on. The beginning is a little bit slow but it serves as both a tutorial (since the game has a lot of mechanics that need to be learned) and an introduction to the characters and the relations between them. This makes me jump to the next category which is the story. To me the story was great especially because the game has multiple endings based on the way you play the game. However the story has 6 large chapters and after you finish the game they make you play 2 more Epilogue chapters which are again mostly tutorials in order to play one meaningful mission at the end. It was nice but it hurts the pacing. The game is heavily politicized but in my opinion it was all done pretty well and without ruining the overall immersion a lot. Personally I hate when games are pushing political agendas because games should be made to be fun not to preach you about all kind of things and especially when missions or characters are fabricated just to match the agenda they are trying to push. The graphics and sound are stellar. I couldn't believe how detailed everything is. Hands down to Rockstar for the huge effort they put into this game. The gameplay is fun but after a while you will see the mission structures bare the pattern. However you have a variety of weapons that you can choose from (all customizable) and after all this is what I expected from the game to be honest. Besides the story missions you have a lot of side missions that you can play and also a ton of side activities such as robbing people, hunting or fishing. I didn't play RDR because I don't have a ps3 but RDR2 is one of my favorite games out there. It isn't a perfect game but it comes very close to one. 9/10… Expand

    Fair review of RDR2

    I'm almost 15% finished the game overall, which might be a little premature to review, but I just don't know if I can be bothered finishing the game, in all honesty. The things that are bothering me about this game are things that are fundamental to the gameplay anyway, and won't change no matter how much longer I play it.

    How to sum up RDR2: It's really not that much fun to play, sadly. Considering I paid a fair sum for it, and am a big RDR, and was waiting ages in anticipation of this game's release, then I ask myself why my PS4 is switched off and I'd rather surf the net instead? I should be glued to the game during any free hours that are available, chomping at the bit to get back from work to get back into the fray , but instead I'm kind of sighing like ok, I'll give it another shot, it's going to get better. The game feels like it's had a lot of love invested in it, but it's unbalanced love, focused too much on unnecessary details and a plethora of tedious tasks/chores and not enough on fun gameplay. You can still communicate an artistic and meticulously-crafted experience, but the game still has to be fun!

    Obviously, the users giving it 0/10 are clearly wrong, there's no way it's a 0/10, but, at the same time, the critics giving it 10/10 seem deluded? There's no way a game this flawed is a masterpiece/GOTY candidate. Absolutely no way near it. Horizon Zero Dawn was a 9/10 for me, and it was a pleasure to play. You found yourself struggling to put the controller down. Not so in this case. Regarding the critics reviews of RDR2: is there something more sinister at play...?

    Pros:
    - When out and about in the open world, the graphics are really nice, the world feels very real and alive, with weather changes, wildlife, nice scenery etc. The storms that come in look really beautiful.
    - There's clearly been an investment of time in covering details which make the towns look like real old west towns.
    - The option to kill/spare some side characters that you meet adds an element of Telltale to the game, giving you the impression you're making your own story to some extent.

    Cons:
    - The control system really saps the fun out of the gameplay. It's convoluted, confusing, and very difficult to use, especially during the times when you need to retrieve items fast from your inventory, or switch guns. What were Rockstar thinking, in making the control system this way??
    - The movements of Arthur Morgan are clunky and don't feel smooth. He's either sauntering at a snail's pace or running full out. No in between. The playable cut scenes restrict you in many ways, but its' not always clear you're in one. It's frustrating. Gun fighting, running from cover to cover is awkward and doesn't flow well. Fist fighting is mostly just mashing one button and requires very little skill. It's not fun. It's certainly no Batman Arkham.
    - It's too much hassle to commit any crimes. I defended myself against an O'Driscoll, beat him up, then the law was called on me. It wasn't clear what the sheriff wanted me to do? It seemed like he was telling me to 'go on, git' (as in get out of here) but when I tried to run he started shooting. I then had to fight off a neverending spawn of deputies and run in my clunky run/swim style for about 15 minutes. The bounty system means its much. much more convenient to just pay off your bounties than continue to be an outlaw, as your crimes never go away.
    - The graphics of close up faces aren't anything special for PS4. Detroit Become Human set the bar on graphics and RDR2 is nowhere even close.
    - There are just too many tasks/chores to remember! Brush your horse, feed your horse, shave your face, clean your guns, earn money for the camp, hunt food for the camp, wear the right warm/light clothing, take this tonic, eat this food, and so on and so on. The tasks/chores actually do feel like chores, and I want to play a video game, not do chores.

    My advice would be if you are a RDR fan and want to give it a shot (no pun intended) then wait until the price goes down, and maybe during that time the game will be patched a bit.

    Hopefully Rockstar will read some fan reviews and take note for their next endeavour, as if RDR3 continues along this path, I won't be buying it. Collapse    … Expand

    This game has horrible movement and bindings.

The open world was vast and very open, it allowed me to feel like a hard-head cowboy in the western dunes or high-rise mountains.

    While it played, felt and generally gave a gripping story and adventure, there was a couple of things that let it down. One of them was the lonesome cavern of the open world. Sure, it was beautiful and nothing was off limits, but at times it got bland and boring. For example, you could be riding the road from Saint Denis to Valentine and absolutely nothing happens. Maybe on the off chance you encounter a random event or some roguish thugs, nothing too grand though.

    The second downside was the lack of content after the epilogue. Once the main campaign is done you have a small epilogue to tie up the loose ends. After that though there is not much going on. No DLC content for the story either makes for not much fun.

    In conclusion this game is good, even great. The problem is the world can be too expansive for an actual enjoyable experience. I’m not saying make a gun shootout on every corner, but after you have passed a blind man about 30 times, I might as well have shot him and forget it ever happened. Also, with there being no solid content after the main story it does make you wonder. Now I like Rockstar as a company but, this game feels to have been made to be short term popular than a longer running title.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is simply the wéstern made into a video game.

    *STORY*: United States, 1899. The decline of the Wild West has begun and the forces of law hunt the last bands of outlaws. Those who do not surrender or succumb are killed. After a disastrous failed robbery in the town of Blackwater, Arthur Morgan and Van der Linde's gang are forced to flee.

    The script is based on a simple idea, but it is so well written and developed, with magnificent characters and performances... that this video game is simply going to be unforgettable in the retina of those of us who have enjoyed it.

    *GAMEPLAY*: Realistic (within the limits of the format) and, therefore, rough and uncomfortable the first hours (especially the fact that the character walks so slowly), but there is its magic. Its simulation.

    *GRAPHICS*: In the artistic and graphic aspect it's simply perfect.

    *SOUND*: Due to its tight number of musical pieces, its musical aspect doesn't stand out like other great ones (TLOU or DOOM, for example), but the few pieces that there are are impeccable.

    *INNOVATION*: The original RDR already marked the steps of its sequel (in spite of its great differences in how they are played), but it simply marks a new culmination of the world.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is an enormous game. The insane amount of detail cannot be found in any other game. Most of the time it runs at 30 fps which is pretty impressive for a game like this. Only my base PS4 sounds like it's going airborne any second.

    It's a typical Rockstar game, meaning countless hours and dozens of repetitive main missions which feel like errands.

    I'll start by saying that, in my opinion, no game is worth a perfect score. Not Mass Effect, not Shadow Of The Colossus, not Breath Of The Wild, and certainly not Red Dead Redemption 2.

    I feel the need to clarify this point because of the absolutely absurd amount of 100/100 this game received (and a 105/100 from JeuxActu, seriously guys?), in case you expect that to reflect reality.

    No, it doesn't. And thank God for it. A perfect game shouldn't be sold, it should be gifted to every living soul to be appreciated.

    Anyway. Onto the review's subject.

    RDR2 is a good, but flawed game. And its flaws take root in fundamental aspects that Rockstar definitely needs to look into because this is an out-of-fashion way to make games: with an identity crisis.

    Want to roam the gigantic world? Feel free to, but beware of the people who'll attack you, and don't defend yourself in front of policemen or you'll get a bounty. Wanna shoot that horse's leg to prevent your enemy from fleeing? Too bad, we had planned for you to use that horse to escape, try something else. Do you like that revolver? Here, play this mission with a shotgun then.

    For the most part, RDR2 doesn't know how to approach player freedom without either making it seem stupid or completely pointless. And that shouldn't be one of an open world game's most glaring issues.

    For a more practical listing:

    Pros:
    -The software's world is beautiful. Like eye-piercingly beautiful. Every corner has been carefully crafted, every single detail masterfully implemented. Be it the untamed wilderness or the busy city center of Saint-Denis, everything feels real. Technically and artistically, it's a masterpiece. Rockstar, I salute you.
    -The writing is good. The ending takes the cake as the best VG ending of late 2018. A good portion of the main missions and all side quests are cool. The characters are cool, they have motivation, distinct personalities, they feel tangible, and spurt out great lines from time to time. And especially...
    -Arthur Morgan. Best Rockstar protagonist. Actually feels like a human being, struggles and evolves, unlike GTA V's overly stereotyped fellas (not a complaint, they're written to be like that and I'm fine with it).
    -The music has its ups and downs, but it mostly shines at the right moments. Shout out to the ending (again).

    Cons:
    -What I explained earlier. You mostly watch the game happen instead of playing it. As an example, forcing the player to walk at a certain pace and in a certain direction doesn't feel rewarding.
    -Gunplay is basically auto-aim-lift-the-cursor-headshot. Come on now.
    -Controlling Arthur is hard. By hard, I mean that he either handles like a freaking semi or spins around like a top. Also, by preaching ultra-realism, some minor activities become actual chores. I needed to dedicate an entire hour every few couple of them for baths, food and whatnot, because it takes an entire 10-second animation loop to pick up anything. I'm all for little bonus animations, but I didn't need to watch the entire process of Arthur crafting his arrows ONE BY ONE.
    -Feels weird to say this, but the game is TOO long. I'm more than 80 hours in, and I barely finished the main storyline plus the epilogues while being fairly focused on doing them in priority. The problem is, it's not long because the scenario's taking its time. No. It takes time because you sometimes have to ride across the entire 180 km² map to reach the next objective, or walk (not run, walk) through all of Saint-Denis.

    This game made by any other studio would be worth a 5. But Rockstar's sheer attention to detail and quality of writing bring it up to 6. That is purely out of respect for the team's dedication to creating a world that feels alive and characters that actually are.

    You are part of an infamous outlaw gang    Game of the year talk is upon us and you will see many, and I mean many people proclaim Red Dead Redemption as their game of the year. They won’t be wrong it isn’t a bad game at all, but I will talk about the game without the rose-colored glasses on for a bit and tell you that Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fantastic game with some noticeable flaws.

    You are part of an infamous outlaw gang on the run from the law from beginning to the end. The gang you play is from the first game, but unlike the first one you don’t get any real new questions to ask just more answers. Let me explain. In the first you hear stories of Johns past and you can imagine what it was like. This game being a prequel they take time to only answer without really setting up anything new to the characters or any real new backstory to the ones from the first game. Arthur is your new main character that for the most part you can customize throughout the game. He is a good fit, but compared to other character in the gang you ride with he is way less interesting. I would have liked to play as the gang’s leader Dutch and get a closer glimpse into his madness. He is by far the most interesting character and I only wish he was the focus of the story. The campaign is long and the story has many cinematic moments that make you truly feel like an old west cowboy which is all we can ask for.

    The gameplay however is where more of my gripes come into play. The biggest one is the fact the game doesn’t know when to end. It has a good 4+ hour epilogue that they split into two parts. Rockstar typically speaking epilogue isn’t that long hell at max I’d expect 30 minutes. This wouldn’t be a problem if the 4 hours were action packed or emotionally engaging. Instead you do chores for half of it. Look I can shovel **** in real life I don’t need a game for that experience. I also couldn’t stand the horse mechanics in this game. I hate that I couldn’t fast travel and whistle for my horse because the dumb beast wasn’t near. My personal favorite which in fact made me fail a couple of missions is my horse’s ability to run head first into a tree. I did this more times than is funny, and after a while I almost shot the damn thing because that is such a stupid thing to include in a game with horses. I can ride my horse through a forest in The Witcher and get out unscathed, but in Red Dead I get near a tree and this stupid animal rams head first into itself preservation be damned. I want to end on a good note so I will talk about the gunplay. I love how the guns feel in this game. I chose the more powerful slightly slower weapons in the game but I felt it. I also adored when the missions would have you do these scripted scenes that felt like they were ripped out of a western movie. The world felt so alive that the town, random strangers, hell even the shops all remembered you and your actions.

    Overall Red Dead Redemption 2 is a great game and will still manage to make my top five games of the year. Some will love it more than me and that is fine it is a solid game. The things that annoyed me just really irked me to the point of not having a good time. In the end it is like 90% fantastic and like 10% not I give it still a full price.    … Expand

    Yo esperaba algo más tirando a western pero no es así, es una historia que cuenta los últimos días de los forajidos en América cuando empiezan a aparecer las grandes ciudades y compañías.

    Gráficamente el entorno es de 10, todas las animaciones fluyen naturalmente y para una misma acción hay varias animaciones distintas. Las caras en mi opinión son mejorables gráficamente, juegos como witcher 3 o uncharted 4 lo solucionan mejor.

    La jugabilidad es abrumadora, se basa sobretodo en jugabilidad emergente. A medida que te mueves por el mapa te encuentras con infinidad de eventos que te dan la sensación de que el mundo está vivo, y no hablo solamente de eventos jugables sino de animales cazando a otros solamente xq eso es lo que hacen los animales, sin ninguna intención de que el jugador haga nada.
    El combate es lo principal y está bastante bien resuelto, con el dead eye, con gran variedad de armas y personalizaciones. Existen infinidad de actividades secundarias que podemos realizar como cazar, jugar al poker, buscar tesoros, etc.

    La historia empieza con un ritmo lento pero a mediados del juego coge un ritmo bastante bueno y te deja enganchado hasta el final. Hecho de menos algunas opciones adicionales a la hora de rolear pero Rockstar nos fija bastante la personalidad del protagonista y simplemente vemos su evolución sin poder elegir demasiado.

    Es un juego hiperdetallista e hiperrealista, técnicamente lo mejor que he probado nunca y el mejor mundo abierto que he visto hasta la fecha. Para poder disfrutarlo el juego nos invita a seguir un ritmo lento y perdernos en su mundo para descubrir todos esos detalles.

    Lo recomiendo a todo aquel que le gusten los mundos abiertos y que tenga tiempo para poder jugarlo a su ritmo.

    To put things into perspective, take God of War. That game has excellent gameplay, narration and visuals. There, you can see they were able to scale it up sustainably and refine the game to perfection. The story is wonderfully told, the pacing is never off and the gameplay is just fantastic! Yes, RDR2 has a more realistic, epic story and a vast open world -- all things that I like -- but it has not been refined as much. Heck, in some ways it is really rough. The only thing that kept me going was the story, the world, the characters.    … Expand

    This has to be the worst Rockstar Game I have ever played. It is so slow paced. Terribly slow with everything you try to do. For an open world game, it is very restricted. You can't do this or that. The story is boring and does not really make much sense. Rockstar Games basically only has two mission types, you either chase someone all over the map, or you have to shoot a thousand enemies.This has to be the worst Rockstar Game I have ever played. It is so slow paced. Terribly slow with everything you try to do. For an open world game, it is very restricted. You can't do this or that. The story is boring and does not really make much sense. Rockstar Games basically only has two mission types, you either chase someone all over the map, or you have to shoot a thousand enemies. And after you shoot a thousand guys, you have to escape and shoot a hundred more enemies on your way out. And I hate the medal challenges after every mission. I'm not going to replay these missions to get gold medals, I mean it's good to have challenges but let me play the way I want to play without making me feel like a loser for mostly obtaining bronze medals. It doesn't tell you beforehand what you need to do anyways, so what the heck? Like how am I suppose to know to use my sidearms instead of my rifle, yet when the mission starts I'm holding my rifle. Shouldn't you start me out with the sidearms, so maybe I can get the hint?

    And the glitches and bugs in this game are terrible. The mechanics and game play sucks the living frustration out of you. You can't even control your horse. Your horse just decides how to ride through the woods and always ends up smashing into a tree or a rock. The shooting is kind of broken, you'll be dead on accurate with a gunshot, but the enemy will act like it didn't get hit. The cover system is a bit uneven, you'll go to cover behind a crate, yet you'll slide way over to a rock or something and be out in the open. There's the honor system, but who cares? I don't see it affecting much of the story, maybe just the ending, which isn't really much. The dead eye system is so slow and trying to move the eye around to hit multiple enemies always ends up taking too long and then it all just cancels out and didn't do anything and your meter is drained. Very annoying. Even the fishing mechanic sucks and I think they even fixed it some.

    I stopped playing this game midway when it first released and decided to play through again after a couple years to see if they fixed anything and not really. The game is just annoying and slow and frustrating. The only thing I love about this game is the actual world. It is gorgeous. And some of the side missions are actually pretty fun. Another annoying thing though, is if you mouth off to a pedestrian or accidentally bump into one, they will pull out a gun and fire at you, but if I pull out my gun in defense and shoot back, suddenly I'm the bad guy and have the entire law after me, what kind of logic is that?! Figure stuff out Rockstar! There is nothing rockstar about Rockstar Games anymore.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. After the first four chapters I was pretty happy with it although still frustrated with the poor controls and time wasters like skinning animations, gun cleaning and bathing. But with chapters 5 and 6 the game loses me totally aside from actually wanting to help the indians. I know rockstar doesn’t make RPG's but the way these games take the control from the player just so it can take the story in the direction it wants is infuriating. Why is there a moral system if it doesn’t impact the story other than some characters calling you a psycho if you go "all evil"?

    The problem for me is that Rockstar seems to want to make interactive movies. And that’s fine. But when I want to watch a movie, I'll watch a movie. When I want to play a game, I like to play not watch long cut scenes and/or listen endless expository dialogue when travelling to a mission that is pretty much on rails. Leave your horse here, go there, use that path, don’t kill that guy... or the mission doesn’t progress or fails. Most of the main missions end in a shoot-out and that's fine too. But even then, you're often told to follow a certain path.

    As for the story... This part of rockstar games is the most overrated part. GTA-series especially but also this game are full of genre cliches and predictable as hell. Even though I haven’t played the first RDR and didn’t even know this game was prequel I could see pretty much from the start where it's headed. Nothing in the story surprised me. Dutch was so full of BS from the start and Micah was so obvious traitor that he might as well had neon sign above his head. There is some interesting side content but main story just gets more boring and predictable with every chapter. Most of all it's really frustrating to listen to Dutch BS:ing towards the end when the game forces you to follow him regardless. GTA 5 story had much the same problems but it isn’t this long and there for doesn’t waste the players time as much. So in my opinion the writing in rockstars games isn’t nearly as good as people say or they themselves think! RDR 2 isn’t a masterpiece or a "work of art". It's pretty good game with rigid gameplay and one that overstays its welcome.    … Expand

The game holds your hand through out the entire hours that you put in and will not let you try anything on your own and if you do, BOOM! MISSION FAILED!

In fact, I feel like only this developer, Rockstar Games, is capable of delivering a title similar to this experience as their games in the last 15-20 have always set the standard for works that would follow at least a few years later. Now, why I love this particular game and not just its developer. Firstly, as it probably is the shortest one to cover, let's talk technology - the game features the most outstanding graphics I have seen on a console, and my mind can't comprehend how it runs so well. The animation work is beyond praise and all of graphical elements are top notch. The visuals create a rare sense or realism that greatly helps immersion. To top it off, I have encountered very few glitches in what I presume to be more than 300 hours of play time. Next, music - the score is wonderful and emotionally touching. The music dinamically underlines the gameplay and plays a crucial role in key story moments. It flawlessly fits the style and time period the game aims to portray and helps to establish a connection with the characters. Then, the world - and oh my, what a world this is! Probably the most amazing thing about Red Dead 2, it is simply stunning and quite hard to conceive without having played the game. An unseen beofore level of interactivity, creativity, diversity and depth are what elevates this game's world above all others. Not to mention that it is incredibly large and filled to the brim with things to do. RDR2's world feels so lived in, it is sometimes hard to distinguish from reality. Lastly, the story. I think I have to take my words above back, as this may actually be the best thing about the game. This narrative is something that transcends the field of game developoment, as it is just on a whole other level, able to fit into a movie studio or a writer's cabinet with ease. The characters are likely to be the best in gaming with depth, personality and realism that befits only the best of modern writers. The story delivers an incredible amount of moral, philosophical and emtotional dilemmas that can never cease to astonish me. The effort that has gone into establishing this detailed atmosphere with intelligent and meaningful character intreactions is unbelieavable and is probably why Rockstar Games, and namely Dan Houser, have been able to achieve such grand success and critical praise. The evloution and fate of the Van der Linde gang are very compelling, absorbing and worthwhile. The game's protagonish is a very complex, multi-faceted and engaging character who completely draws the player into his personal story as well as into that of his comrades. Starkingly humane at heart, the story is based on both Romantic and Realist themes, as well as some characterstic of Modernism. It shows a freat amount of research and devotion to authenticity. A pure masterpiece, this is a game that would easily be enjoyed by gamers and non-gamers alike, as it is truly and almost overwhlemingly a work of art.… Expand

After losing all my progress at about 95% while trying to attempt a gold bar glitch (sue me, Its a single player and I like to make outfits) I am about 26% through a second play-through and it is not any less exciting.

    The care put into this game is evident. It gets a 10 from me because it is just as fun this second time around as it was the first, and my time being at a premium, and enjoyable replay is the highest honor i can give a video game.

    The level on Guarma is a bit of a weird pit stop for the plot, but It doesn't last particularly long.

In this review, I will list down the Cons and Pros of this game,Red Dead: Redemption 2 is an amazing game, but it does have its fair share of flaws, and believe me, there are plenty of them to talk about. I spent around 200 hours playing the Single Player, yes 200hrs... not even kidding. I loved the game, but that doesn't mean I will stop thinking critically and start fanboying over it. In this review, I will list down the Cons and Pros of this game, then I will tell you whether you should buy the game or not.

    CONS:

    - Bad controls
    - Outdated game/mission design
    - They tried to make this game too realistic/sandbox-ish
    - Horrendous gameplay(Movement mechanics, and gun-play)
    - Very tedious
    - Can sometimes be repetitive
    - Narrative story pacing issues(the game takes a huge dump at around chapter 5)

    PROS:

    - Even though the story has pacing issues, Red Dead: Redemption 2 still has one of the best narrative stories in video games.
    - The random encounters and side missions are a lot of fun to play and add to the overall experience.
    - Every single character in the game is amazing, relatable, and lovable. Every one of them has a role to play, whether it's the main storyline or one of the side stories.
    - THE VISUAL ASPECT OF THE GAME IS MIND BLOWING!! The game is just TOO FREAKING BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT!!!!!! I played the game in my standard PlayStation 4(PS4) and I am surprised as to how a 4-year-old console is still able to push the game to such high graphical fidelity. The face animations, the environment, the weather effects, everything is just mindblowing. Visually, there is truly a huge amount of attention to detail.

    Conclusion: Yes, YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY BUY THE DAMN GAME!! It's one of the best games of 2018 and a true game of the year contender. Even though the game has plenty of flaws, the PROS I mentioned in this review, do a great job of overshadowing the CONS. I had the same problems with Grand Theft Auto 5(GTA5), horrible controls, horrible gameplay, and Rockstar still, to this day, has not fixed the issues with their controls, outdated game/mission design, and gameplay. Overall, this game is a MUST HAVE!!!!!!    … Expand

Игра просто ЗАСТАВЛЯЕТ тебя быть хорошим, а простите - какой в этом кайф и смысл? Более того - одно неосторожное движение в результате которого ты кого-то толкнул или пробыл рядом с кем-то лишнюю секунду и по тебе начинают палить. Отвечаешь ему тем же? Сразу получай штрафы, законников и минус честь!!! Я просто прокачал стартовую лошадь так неплохо и она на одном тонике может проехать от одного конца карты до другого, а я поиграл от силы часов 30. Скорость лошади тут нафиг не нужна, ибо твоя лошадь все равно всегда всех догонитуедет от всех.

    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]

    The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.
