    La narrativa está muy trabajada, si bien la historia se alarga a veces con relleno innecesario, teniendo momentos cumbre que permanecen en la memoria.
    La jugabilidad deja mucho, muchísimo, que desear. Nunca tienes la sensación de un control total del personaje, el set de movimientos no es nada intuitivo y es muy fácil disparar a alguien con el que quieres hablar o patear un caballo al que te quieres subir. Los tiroteos no funcionan, o son un mero trámite con el apuntado automático o una ortopédica odisea que recuerda a tiroteos de San Andreas. Esto es un serio punto en contra, porque si te apetece dar un simple rodeo por el basto mapa o la historia no te convence, bien por su temática o bien porque te aburre, le resta mucho al juego, puesto que por momentos controlar a Arthur Morgan no sólo no es divertido, es frustrante.
    Aún así la gran cantidad de tareas y objetivos hacen que puedas entretenerte de muchas maneras, incluso algún que otro minijuego resulta muy adictivo.

    This game shows what happens if you take quality of your product seriously. In fact, it might even show what happens if you take it TOO serious.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 looks beautiful, has great sound design, great world design and shows detail in pretty much every department. The world is actually full and doesn't feel like a big map with just some NPC's littered across it. With NPC's travelling in various ways, doing things in towns and having random encounters with you the world feels alive. As many games have claimed this over the years, this game actually accomplishes it.

    The story is well told with loads of characters and the protagonist Arthur Morgan, who is the center of moral here and has a excellent story to tell himself. You'll see the end of the Outlaw, with the Van der Linde gang struggling to exist in the new world. It also deals with moral, and how some members will develop due to the changes. Very interesting, and you even get attached to some of the characters. Well done on that part.

    The gameplay itself is very good and well thought out, however... the game actually suffers a bit from trying to be realistic with all the animations, inventory limitations and stiff aiming. It took me weeks before i fully adjusted, which was probably longer than it should have. Sometimes too much realism is negative for your game.

    I did notice quite a bit of bugs while playing, and some mechanics like the bounty system seemed either broken or poorly designed. I had several instances where i would get a bounty for a crime i committed ten minutes before, being miles away. The ability to hide your identity only works on civilians and not on lawmen, which in itself is stupid, and robbing trains is downright unnecessary when the bounty is higher than the loot.

    Hunting is very fun and challenging, but having to watch the skin animations over and over gets old after a while, and having a limit on storing big pelts feels incredibly annoying.

    In Summary, this game impressed me with it's content, quality and size. But it also made me question the necessity of realism in games for the first time. I give this game a 10/10.

For example, the stunning song that accompanies your ride back, later on, after the gang has been going through a particularly bad patch. The game is immersive and you want to be part of this world. This is what makes it 97%. Not whether the controls are simple enough (they are fine) or whether you can't transport instantly to sites (there is fast travel later) or that an ageing gunfighter doesn't move like spiderman.

The level of detail is astonishing, the way NPC's continue contextual conversations with others, how interacting and making decisions can greatly impact the world's perception of your protagonist in a good or colossal way, which is also a refreshing change from the previous game. It really is a marvel of presentation and easily one of the most authentic open worlds ever made. Combat is also improved, from the chaotic bass of nearly every weapon. The way a bullet from the slug of a double barrel scatters after being fired point blank, with a thunderous roar as limbs fly off from within your vicinity. It's pretty awesome, but the cover system is completely broken and a huge downgrade from the first one. The story and characters are expertly written and masterfully performed, with voice acting that rivals other films as a masterclass in introducing and creating compelling characters. The soundtrack is universally excellent, from old western folk ballads that make traversing the world more immersive, to the brilliant guitar notes and heavy drums that fire off as soon as combat erupts into a lively and deadly shootout. Back to the story, the first four chapters are among the best storytelling in any game, its extremely enthralling and incredibly nuanced. We follow a group of outlaws and outcasts trying to survive and escape a world that has changed with the times, and the remnants of remaining outlaws dwindle as civilization closes in. The dichotomy between Arthur and Dutch was riveting at times, both men raised and indebted to their idealistic beleifs and struggles that clash and erupt in front of them as soon as they're fed up with system that always catches up with them, as both men desperately yearn to get away from it. We see a man deteriorate in front of us and another man grow and change into a kind hearted, but superficial killer (depending on your choices.) After these four chapters, the games quality takes a nose dive as your forced to cooperate with endless shootouts and tedious trailing missions that grind the games pacing to a dramatic halt. The games design is very linear, and on missions and some of the side quests in the game, you never get that sense of accomplishment and pride in trying to approach something on your own. The game constantly leads you to this pathway and it just seems dated. Just as slowly as Arthur doubts and resents his charismatic mentor, I too was very much annoyed by the direction the game went. With mainstream critics and fanboys always sucking Rockstar's cock, i doubt the'll be changing things up. Expand

    Graphics: 10/10, simply amazing. The amount of detail and the quality overall is amazing.
    Setting / Atmosphere: 9/10, Towns and wilderness really takes you into wild west, truly feeling you're living in the era. When enter a saloon or a shop, it is authentic.
    Story: 5/10, This is where I was let down. The story is very repetitive in it's terms, I understand you're the prey and always on the run but come on. And when the story starts to make sense you die. All your investment to your personality is down the drain. And you die from tuberculosis. Meh.

    Минусы: 1)Сюжет(пролог и 1, 2 и 3 главы) - Типичный Rockstar-овский юмор вместо нормального продуманного сюжета (я ,как и многие люди чуть не бросил игру на этих моментах, но главное перетерпеть). 2)Реализм - куча ненужного хлама в виде фишек для "реалистичности" , абсолютно тупо и не реалистично, вот пример - лошадь врезается в дерево если ты не успел её от него отвести во время скачки , в итоге ты и лошадь летите на землю(Лошадь не может быть такой тупой она может и сама уклониться от дерева или вам невдомёк Rockstar?) 3)Стрельба - оторвите руки тем людям которые занимаются стрельбой в Rockstar, и нет это не проблема геймпада и консолей , в других играх я могу нормально стрелять с геймпада а в этой почему-то нет.

I can go on about how good the game looks and good the story and cast are, but I want to express my opinion on the things this game has done outright wrong. Things that make the gameI am not here to write a positive review of this game, but instead critique it as a long-time fan of the original Red Dead Redemption with a couple major issues I had on my first playthrough with this game. I can go on about how good the game looks and good the story and cast are, but I want to express my opinion on the things this game has done outright wrong. Things that make the game one of my biggest disappointments in 2018 as a result, even though others would argue it's "perfect" and deserves a 10 rating. I am here to tell you as a huge fan of the series it is NOT perfect and here's why.

    The Controls

    First off the controls in this game are questionable at best and downright obnoxious at worst. Upon starting this game I was greeted by some of the worst aiming and sensitivity I have ever encountered thus far in my PS4 gaming experience. it was a terrible first impression and coming from a PC with perfect 1:1 accuracy and no acceleration with a gaming mouse is bad enough, but this was just on another level. I had to go on the internet and find an aim optimization guide just to bare playing the game, I know this may seem nit picky and to be honest it is, but it was really that bad (for me anyway.)
    My second gripe of the control system is the horses. Red Dead Redemption 1 had a slight learning curve with the controls for the horses you ride throughout the wilderness but it was something you were able to fully come to grips with in only a few minutes. It felt great and no other game had really felt that good with horse controls to me since (The Witcher 3 for example). Why Rockstar decided to change this in Red Dead 2 is quite frankly beyond me - I get that the horses in the original game were way too fast for a horse and were almost like sports cars, but keeping the same controls and nerfing the speed of the horse would have been preferable in my opinion. In the end I am used to the horse controls now in Red Dead 2 but I definitely was expecting them to use the same control scheme as it would have been recognizable to the fans of the series and only a slight learning curve would be had for the new players.

    THE SHOOTING/COCKING MECHANISM

    Why oh why Rockstar have you made the cocking mechanism of the gun as the same button as the fire button. I don't understand it and it is so obnoxious to have to spam fire in gun battles and the game actually suffers as a result of this - because what will end up happening is the game will recognize that extra pull of the R2 you did in that rapid spam fire-reload-fire and when you think you are done shooting you end up cocking and firing your weapon once more when you didn't want to. It is a terrible disappointment as the first game was so smooth and fluid. Apart from this I have no other real issue with the controls I think movement is solid and with some adjusting I got used to aiming too, I just wish the cocking was R1 and the firing R2. It would just make so much more sense to me.

    Freedom

    This game is an open world sand-box "do what the F you want" game yet it strips control away from you at any given time. During missions, I have to walk when the game wants me to, I have to go in this specific area over here to hide my wagon to complete this one mission (which makes the game UNPLAYABLE without the mini radar in the bottom left of the screen), I have to walk throughout camp and my horse can't go over into the camp and I can't look at my weapon wheel or even think about having my gun out. WHY NOT? If I want to full sprint with my horse while shooting a gun in the air as I use my camp as a bowling alley with the tenants being the pins, WHY CAN'T I? I just wish this game would give you the option to be an a**hole if you want to be! It is such a missed opportunity that I have to do exactly what the game wants me to or I die or I am just not able to do what I want at all or the game doesn't progress. I guess I understand the logic behind all of this as it makes the game more "cinematic" but for goodness sake I don't want to watch a movie I want to play a video game, let me be a jerk and do silly video game shenanigans while pretending to be a damn cowboy.

    8/10. Great, not perfect. The visuals, the music, the setting, the cast, the story, the dialogue, the voice acting - it's all fantastic but the game suffers as a result of some poor decisions made by Rockstar for their sequel to one of my favourite games of all time. I just wanted more.

Losing honor for bumping into a stranger accidentally or looting a corpse without witnesses gets annoying. The cover system can also cause some headaches by getting you stuck in a position that you don't want to be. Despite being an open-world game, the missions are mostly linear. The player has to follow Rockstar's predefined path. Expand

    This game is quite good. It has the gimmicks of everyday activities that you can do. After doing it for a few times they become a chore, even things as simple as taking things off the table or the ground. Making simple things complicated is exactly what the modern generation games have been avoiding, and somehow it's a plus now that RDR2 is doing it.

    I stuck with the game for about 10-15 hours, the missions are so far apart half the time are spent riding between missions with vast empty lands in the middle. In the end I got bored of it. I also still don't quite understand why on every generation, rockstar games are always on the top of every review chart.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game is not for everyone. This is not gta in the wild west. All the disadvantages that I list, in my opinion will be the most unpleasant in the game. 1) If you saved and turned off the game, and then downloaded the last save, you will appear 0-300 meters from the place where you saved. 2) The game is slow and boring up to chapter 4 and during the epilogue. 3) If you carry on your horse the skin of the legendary animal, and on the way the horse dies. And the horse and the skin will disappear and you will only have that part of the animal, which is needed to create amulets. And now I answer why I give the game the maximum rating, I am not joking, but everything else in my opinion in the game is perfect. Expand

    It makes you appreciate and admire every detail. It's so deeply thought through that you sometimes can 't believe it. I'm not even a western lover but I love this game so much. The environment is absolutely astonishing and offers some breathtaking view while riding through the forest in the mountains.

    The only thing I don't like much - SPOILER ALERT - is that you can't play for Arthur after the main story ends. I mean I get it, It does makes sense after the story ending but it's still a shame, he's very likeable character, especially towards the end.

    That said, if you have a PS4 or X1, go ahead and get this game.

    In my opinion, Red Dead Redemption 2, is one of the best open-world game out in the stores right now, with only the likes of some instalments in the Grand Theft Auto challenging or exceeding its top spot.

    The game (if you try not to drift away from the actual campaign too much - which is hard not to consider the plethora of possibilities you are offered, by the breathtaking environment of 1890 America) will have your mind encapsulated from the beginning till the end, with its jaw-dropping graphics and excellent storytelling. The details of this game, where any activity deemed 'appropriate' can be performed by Arthur (or later by John Marston) and the people, animals, or items around them. This immense detail along with its excellent storyline, which offers insight into each of the characters lives provides the player with a surreal, human connection with the protagonist Arthur Morgan, which up until now was only done at this magnitude by games like God Of War or some of the instalments in the Uncharted series.

    This deep connection with the characters, encapsulating storyline enhanced by the stunning environment (graphics and interaction system) is slightly undermined by the sometimes glitchy or annoying game mechanics, with a few vehicles or horse-riding glitches and a few combat crosshair combat issues.

    However, players can still expect a truly encapsulating, immersive and enjoyable experience from the story in RDR2, with more to do after with other characters and side missions.

A game rated at 97 should be so groundbreaking and awesome - so flawless and polished - whoever made it deserves to be deified. At that rating we're talking wonders of the world - something only the gods could do better - an event of historical proportions.

After putting it away for two months, I played again and it is still what is was a couple of months ago. I really got no clue why Rockstar does not care one bit about the single player, a couple of months after a game dropped. They didn`t care in GTA V, and they don`t care in RDR2. Guess what Rockstar: There are maybe some people who just want to play the single player, and don`t care about your pay 2 win online mode. Let`s move on:

    The story is a snooze fest. Repetitive and tedious tasks: Ride to this point, than shoot a bunch of people, ride back. The bounty system is still a complete mess, and that almost half a year after the game released. Somebody assaults or shoots you, you defend yourself by shooting back and then you are wanted for murder or assault because you defended yourself from getting killed?? what?? I don`t understand why they don`t fix that. Especially after finishing the game, this becomes extremely frustrating, because half of the time you play, you`re busy paying f*cking bountys. Not only that, after finishing the story, there is basically no method to make much money. Robbing trains and stuff only brings in a couple of dollars. In Gta v you could own a golf course to make money after the story. Why didn`t they add a saloon for you to buy? or just a shop? Something that makes a decent ammount of money.

    I played the game again the last couple of days, and there is just nothing to do after the story. You can`t just start a fight with someone or provoke someone to fight you, because you will be the guilty. You can do stranger missions, but they are really boring aswell. Sometimes it is fun to just to out and hunt animals, but only for a couple of minutes. The graphics are amazing, but everything else can be summed up in one word: Mediocre. It is not a 10/10 game. My biggest problem is, that they just don`t care about the singleplayer. I don`t play red dead online, cause from what i`ve seen, it is just a cash grab.

    It is not a 1/10 and not a 10/10. They should focus more on the singleplayer and fix the bounty system.

    Side quests are nothing impressive but they do their job well at least.
    Hunting is amazing, if you like hunting and wilderness this game is a must own.

    A great game, not a masterpiece as other people claim simply because of its basic gameplay and outdated controls and pacing issues in the story later on.

    However, some parts of the game were quite slow, especially getting to the other side of the map when fast travel was not available. This did take quite a while, even whilst having the horse auto-run there for me.
    This issue was improved a bit after I unlocked fast travel, but that only takes you to the main towns, so you may still have to travel a fair distance before you get to your objective marker.
    Also, the main story missions were quite restrictive, telling you where to go and what to do. Personally, I didn’t mind this because I felt like I experienced the game the way Rockstar intended it, however I know some people will not agree with me and may find that their hand is being held throughout.

    Overall, I highly recommend this game. Definitely one of the best games of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I honestly haven't played a game with a better story or better characters. From the first cut scene in the snowy areas of Ambarino to Arthur's last breath, it was one of the most enjoyable gaming experiences i ever. The second chapter in Valentine was so fun, the whole gang was well and alive, and Arthur didn't have tuberculosis. I just want to go back and stay in that chapter for a while. After the bank robbery and Lenny's and Hosea's deaths and Arthur being diagnosed with tuberculosis I started feeling uncomfortable. I knew the faith of the gang and everything was seeming hopeless. Some of the best characters in the game died at the end, those being Hosea, Lenny, Sean, Kirean and of course Arthur, It was nice to see Arthur helping his friends achieve happiness and have a good life. The epilogue with John was nice and calm and it was really fun. Sadly we all know what happens to John after the epilogue. The negatives are minor nitpicks like not being able to move fluently and Arthur stumbling and auto-aim is kinda needed, but other than that this game is a MASTERPIECE. It is in the top 3 games I have ever played and I couldn't recommend it more. Do yourself a favour and go buy it! Expand

I see people saying how anyone who likes this game is dumb or delusional or whatever other troll comment possible and that is a demonstration of pure ignorance and stupidity. Not every game is made for YOU. Get that through your heads lol. Some people praise PUBG as being some kind of god-sent video game for the ages, yet I find it to be mindless, repetitive and un-rewarding... Just like every battle royale ever basically. But that doesn't mean that people who like it are stupid. Thinking that IS. Different people enjoy different things. End of discussion. Brats. That isn't to say that this game is perfect... no game is. like... ever. But it's perfect for some, which is something that I think needs to be respected and understood. There's really no reason to insult people who like something you don't. Let's face it this isn't exactly what you would call some kind of objectively bad game. It certainly isn't for everyone, but it also isn't the worst game ever made like some people have been commenting. That's just brainless hyperbole, aaaaaaand some kind of strange level of entitlement that you only seem to see in gaming communities. ''It's not my type of game, therefore it's a piece of crap''. SO stupid lol.

    Some people (myself included) really enjoy the slower paced ''realistic'' feel of the game. It works to make the game deeply immersive as you feel grounded in the game world. Speaking of game world. well.. The game world. Holy smokes, man. No other game has created something this immaculately well designed and interesting. The only thing that comes close is The Witcher 3. Tons of mysteries, Easter eggs, quests, interesting locations, bizarre characters and random events. One thing it does do better is making the world feel genuinely alive. Insane amounts of dialogue have been put into the game which leads to tons of different contextual conversations, comments, fights, insults, and much more. It rarely feels like you've heard something twice out of a particular NPC's mouth or even between different characters which is amazing. The fact that you can listen in on long-winded conversations without it feeling forced is great. Sometimes listening in can even give you hints towards some secret treasures, side-quests and other things of that nature. This gives you this cool feeling of ''If I hadn't listened I would have possibly completely missed that''. Maybe it'll be cash, maybe it'll be a side-quest where you hunt down a serial killer of even a vampire in one of the main cities! Overall good stuff. In terms of visuals I don't think there's much I can say that hasn't already been said, even by haters of the game. It looks ridiculously good, ESPECIALLY for a console game (I'm running on a PS4 Pro). It'll be interesting to see how it will look on a gangster PC rig once it releases there. 'Nuff said lol.

    In terms of gameplay, a few things need to be said. The third person controls can feel particularly weighty and sluggish at times, no argument from me there! I've recently restarted the game and decided to play in First-Person this time around. This is a much better way to play for those who don't enjoy the weighty feel of the original camera. I've managed to tune the settings to make it feel like an actual FPS. Turned off auto-aim, adjusted deadzones, aim acceleration, stick sensitivity, and in all honesty it does wonders to make the game feel more fast-paced in the shooting sections. It also allows you to do things like strafing while shooting. You can also change the control scheme to ''standard FPS'' so things like sprinting are no longer relagated to tapping X until your thumb goes numb, you just click R3 like you would with any other shooter. It even feels like Arthur walks at a faster pace because in first-person you either jog or sprint. If you want to walk you just input slightly on the joystick. MUCH better feel than having to hold down X to jog and tap incessantly to sprint. I also recommend making the cover system automatically switch to third-person and I also do that for horse riding. Only on-foot is standard FPS feel because shooting from cover or horseback in first-person isn't ideal I find. But again, different strokes for different folks.

    I, myself, also really enjoy the story. The voice acting, the facial animations and the situations your band of bums go through feel legitimate. It'S not perfect but in all honesty I find most games fall flat with their storytelling. Not this one (in my opinion). Motives are clear, well explained and acted. This isn't mentioning the variety of side stories and mini self-contained stories you cna stumble across during your travels.

    In conclusion, RDR2 isn't a perfect game by any stretch but it comes closer than most games ever have in my personal opinion.

Сюжет у игры интересный, но довольно затянутый. Первый 10-15 часов я вообще играл через силу, так как игра была жутко скучной. Развитие событий началось только в середине, а под конец все завертелось еще интереснее. Графика и проработка деталей на высоте. Расстроила предсказуемость большей части побочек (принеси, убей, отнеси). Стрельба в игре реалистичная, но на мой взгляд чересчур, т.е. она соответствует настоящим ощущениям от оружия тех времен, но многим она не понравится из-за своей заторможенности. Итог такой - если вы любите динамичные игры с захватывающим на протяжении всей игры сюжетом , то RDR2 НЕ ДЛЯ ВАС.

    It is about story. These are pretty expectable words, but it is very exiting, and this story is one from the number of games, when after ending you are thinking over three days about it: about relations, about persons, about thinks being done...
    It is about people. I always had got a problem, that i forgot, or did not remembered names of different kinds of characters both in games or movies. But after completing this game after the year i still remember names of every person from you camp, and i figure that only this fact can say a lot of about RDR.
    It is about meditation. You just ride a horse to some point, and you can be distracted to some crocodile or deer, it doesn’t matter, than to watch perfect sunrising, to rest in a camp, probably to help some unlucky dude, and spend only this way more than two hours, and the main point is that you know - your time wasn’t wasted...
    And, of course, this game is technological masterpiece, where attention had been payed for every little detail, and it is not her main advantage, because it is only makes it one of the most memorable together with all other points...

The side missions are filled with interesting stories and people, some of whom almost brought a tear to my eye. Arthur Morgan has to be one of the best characters of all time, his writing and voice acting just bring him together in a wonderful way. This goes for the whole gang.

    Some nitpicks, though, is the game can be too realistic. Such as having to eat to keep up your weight or you drain your cores quicker or having to brush your horse for the same reason. Some of the side missions can break the immersion by being that generic 'I'm looking for [blank] can you help me find it' or the tasks they make you do are trivial and unoriginal. Some of the tasks are things that you would never ask a stranger to do such as setting up lightning rods in a science lab or reteriveing item from a foreclosed house but some of the other missions you make meaningful friends and have fun adventures with them.

    The story, however, more than makes up it alone. It is a lot easier to talk about the bad in things but this game is an absolute must-play and is the best game in my extensive library.

    MASTERPIECE. The story was so brilliant. Everything in this game is perfect. At the beginning I thought everyting was so slow and confuse, but after I get used to the mechanics and the story, I had an immersion.

    The game is unbelievable. All those characters and company are sticking in memory. The nature and landscapes are spectacular! R* have proved, that they are on top of game design industry. Bravo Rockstar

    O jogo têm uma das melhores narrativas já feitas na história dos games. Seus gráficos são os mais realistas que temos no mercado, e seu mundo aberto é o mais extenso já feito até hoje. Têm defeitos? Lógico, mas bem poucos e que não chegam a estragar sua experiência. Por mim, se você tem um PS4 ou Xbox One, é obrigatório você jogá-lo.

    Beautiful game but such a chore to play due to an incomplete fast travel system, clunky controls and the joyless chores involved.

    The story / campaign is absolutely brilliant with a huge amount of side quests and unmarked quests too. However, it all falls apart in the multiplayer. While the main story kept me wanting to come back day after day to play it, and even playing through a second time straight after i finished the 1st run. The multiplayer was a chore to play and boring.
    Overall.... definitely worth buying

    Story 10/10- I love the story in this game and the way it is told. You get a really good sense of all the characters and you get to go through a hell of a lot with them. At just about any point in the game you actually care about what happens to them or at least I did. By the end of the game you feel like you actually had one hell of an experience and I think few games can top that.Story 10/10- I love the story in this game and the way it is told.

By the end of the game you feel like you actually had one hell of an experience and I think few games can top that.

    Gameplay 9.0/10 - I absolutely love the gameplay, but there are some things they did that are very annoying. They wanted the game to feel very deliberate and they do this by making things go slowly. You need to actually travel around for the most part-fast travel is hardly a fast travel. You have to be in camp and it will take you somewhere, but you need to trek it back to base again. This is great at times since the world is so amazing, but I just wish there was some kind of fast travel towards the end of the game. Not everyone has 1000000 hours to run around the world map.

    Another issue is with hunting. It can be very hard to see certain animals and hard to hit em. Some of em aren't too bad, but smaller critters can be a nightmare. The other issue is with having to haul large animals back to a specific NPC one at a time....this is such a drag. I know it is more realistic, but you have to set boundaries with realism in a video game. Sometimes things are better off not being real. Think about if you got shot once in the game and you were dead-now that wouldn't be very fun, but it is a lot more realistic.

    The gunplay is great for the most part but also a hassle with switching weapons and the game constantly putting them back on your horse. This was a minor annoyance, but as the game went on it was like a small itch that you just can't scratch. On top of that on horseback it can be hard as hell to aim, so you will be using your dead eye a lot.

    Overall: 9.8/10 I love this game and I highly recommend it. It is slow and it is deliberate, but it is worth it. If you have low patience levels though, don't even bother because you wont make it far. I do wish they would change the damn weapons holding system and the way animal skins are kept, but there isn't a lot else I would change. Go play it! Then play the other ones.

    If the only criteria would be how complex and polished this game is - 10/10. But very slow pace, somewhat boring characters and extremally slow animations made me fight through this game rather than enjoy it for score higher than 7.

When I'm level 9,I have to be in the same lobby with level 195 or even 435. WHY? Oh wait,I know why. Tye problem is in the second reason—it's microtransactions. They are important. Want to win in a race—buy a fast horse. Want to win in PvP matches—buy a lancaster or litchfield rifle and a shotgun...What your level isn't high enough? Buy some gold then,is it a problem for you? Of course ypu can win a PvP match with a default carbine or a revolver,skill is important as always,but usually the higher level with a better gun wins.Also, you can unlock roles like moonshimer or bounty hunter. There are also some missions that can help you earn extra money. And finally we can talk about bugs. Postman mission— "you've lost your bag". No,it's noy only when you really lose the bag,it is even when you just **** walk! Or a mission where you had to bring the stolen wagon back to Adler's family. Wagon's horse crashed into a tree and refused to mobe. No,the horse was alive,it was moving,the problem is that the wagon didn't move. Then I've failed because "the wagon has been destroyed". I hate red dead online. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption 2 es un juego muy innovador en casi todo su concepto. Lo mas lamentable es la decisión por parte de Rockstar Games de acabar con la vida de Arthur. Un personaje muy carismático y simpatico con el q es fácil de identificarse. Historia profunda y con giros en la trama imprevistos lo q hace una experencia mas enriquecedora y entretenida. Expand

    Absolutely amazing graphic and story (i loved Arthur and many others characters), but the gameplay is not too good, and the ending is quite boring.
    *The extreme realism is also quite unnecessary.

    It's just an awesome game, and I don't understand why some people find the game boring):
    The story is interesting, the gameplay is varied, the graphics and details are amazing, in the open world you will find hunting, fishing, various mini-games and many random events, how can it be boring?

    This is the best game I have ever played on PS4. The amount of details, the amount of thing to do there (main quests, side quests, animal watching, loot searching, playing cards/domino, etc and not to mention the great story line and character building (I'm sure i'm not mentioning all the great aspects this game has). Hands down, THE BEST game i played in my life till now.

    Is one of the best games that i ever played. Amazing gameplay, history was incredible, graphics was amazing. Is a slow game i playd like for a month to finish it (80%) and only one of the posible ends (i like that). So many options, so many things to do, you never get bored. The online is meh i don't buy this game to play online so i dont really care.

    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]
