    It's a really good game, the world feels alive, all npcs and animals are doing their things, a fantastic improvement from RDR 1. Arthur is a likeable character, the combat is good, story is good, side quest... everything is amazing but there is so much to do that can be overwhelming in a bad way.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Let me say that this is one of my favorite games of all time. I would play this over and over and I wouldn't ever get bored of it. Four years after this game was released and it still looks absolutely stunning. This game has one of the most expansive, alive, and fun worlds of any open-world game. The world is full of random encounters, missions, explorations, activities, and more. The entire game from beginning to end is marked by its incredible detail, making the game feel very real. The story is captivating and has you hooked from beginning to end, and there is never a moment where you want to quit. Arthur Morgan is an amazing character; the game develops and showcases him very well. The audience begins to love Arthur Morgan, who in my opinion is one of the best antiheroes. Overall, Red Dead Redemption is a phenomenal game that I highly recommend that you play. The only reason I gave it 9/10 instead of 10/10 is because of how rockstar has treated RDO. Red Dead Online is the one bad mark on this game; it had massive potential, and Rockstar didn't care to make it good. Four years later, Red Dead Online is mostly dead. RDO aside, this game is a 10/10, and anyone who has not played it should now. Expand

    Let's talk About amazing Story that RDR2 has.
    You play as Arthur Morgan, Dutch's Most Trusted guy in the gang. We don't know about him much because he was absent in First game. As Story goes Deeper You Will Love Arthur Morgan More, Arthur's Opinion and Thoughts Changes every Chapter .
    In chapter 1-2 He Did Everything Dutch Said to do. But After Finishing half of the Chapter 5 He Rebels against Dutch and Finally Arthur Sees Something is Wrong About His Mentor and doubts him and that makes Their Relationship to dead end.
    Let's Talk About Arthur's Redemption;
    unlike John in First Game, Arthur had Long time to redeem Himself. At end of the Fifth Chapter He finds that he has TB and Doesn't have So Much time Left to Live.
    He Turns 180 Degrees and Takes Sides with John Marston and Tries To help His famiy to Left the gang. Arthur's Redemption is Way emotional and Sad than John's
    In Arthur's Last Mission You will Cry like a Baby
    A man Who Gave Everything to Gang in the End he gets Betrayed by His Mentor and Friends TB killed his Body But saved His Soul
    Arthur Saved Many Lives In little Time he had And He Successfully completed his Redemption.

    Das Spiel hat eine wunderschöne Grafik wie von Rockstar üblich. Die Charaktere sind sehr gut geschrieben und die Missionen im Spiel sind kreativ und abwechslungsreich. Die Geschichte ist sehr spannend bis zum Schluss.
    Einziger Negativpunkt : Man muss teilweise lange von Mission zu Mission reiten was auf Dauer mühselig wird.

    Love the whole journey. Arthur Morgan is the best protagonist of this generation. The landscapes are mind blowing, the music is heart melting, and although the script can sag from a moment to moment perspective, the general ark of the story and it's epilogue are still absolutely fantastic. A worthy companion to the first game, and, in my humble opinion, a superior one.

    This is one of my favourite games and most probably the best open world game I have ever played. I liked it so much that it put a big shadow on the first game, Red Dead Redemption, which I liked as well.

    This is one of my favourite games and most probably the best open world game I have ever played. I liked it so much that it put a big shadow on the first game, Red Dead Redemption, which I liked as well.

    The stories of these two games are connected but you can play them separately without ruining your experience. The only reason I would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption first is that it is a game of the previous generation and it is visually very far away from Red Dead Redemption II.

    Observing graphics, I must say that I have seen better looking games for PS4 but I do not have any problem with that because there are other stuff in this game that are superb. The first one is the story, which is very exciting and it kept me attached to it till the very end. And even after the end there is decent and not so short epilogue to go through.

    Side missions and side content is very good. It is very seldom that I am satisfied with side missions and side content in open world games but in this game it is well done. You can really lose yourself in the world and accidentally find something that will lead you to some side story. Those side quests were mostly very interesting and I managed to complete a lot of them even though I am not a guy who is crazy about hunting 100% completion.

    This game has some pretty realistic stuff in its gamplay. For instance, you will have to be careful when climbing mountains because you can fall and hurt yourself very easily. The same is when riding a horse. And you will have to take care of your horse; to feed it, clean it otherwise its behaviour might change and it won't respond to your commands. You will have to take care of yourself es well. You must eat and drink, you are able to lose and gain weight. You have to take care about what you wear because your character can feel warm, cold or hot. For the most of the time you will be a part of the gangster camp and you will have to take care of it as well; to be sure that there's food, medicine and weapons and ammunition for your people. It is all really well done, it is not complicated but I was able to spend hours and hours just living in this world without doing any concrete mission or progressing the main story.

    What is unbelievably good in this game is that developers had so small amount of copy-paste work done. To make an example, when you aren't on a mission and you are just walking around and listening to what other people speak around, you can really hear so many things, even the whole stories. I think I only twice realised that someone on the street said the same thing that someone else said somewhere else before. You really have no idea what can you find in this game while riding around.

    Apparently, there is some sort of online campaign too but I haven't played it yet so I cannot comment it.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Gorgeous game! The horse design and mechanics are incredible as is the level of detail.

    I was loving the game up until I did a quest and got TB (nothing I could do to avoid it as its scripted into the game - even if you avoid the guy and don't beat him up - you still get it) -- this level of not being in control of my character and unable to save him from dying, kind of upset me initially and caused me to take a break.

    I'll probably get around to playing it again, but I like RPGs that I can determine what happens to my character, at least for the most part, and not being able to do so here, especially when it has such a drastic impact on the feel of playing as Arthur, kind of turned me off.

    Still a really good game, and I'm sure this won't be a negative for a lot of players.

    The mechanics and gameplay and sheer size of the game is awesome!

    Più di un gioco, un esperienza unica e indimenticabile! In 25 anni da gamer, mai nessun’altro titolo mi ha coinvolto così tanto. Eccellente sotto tutti i punti di vista, sceneggiatura e comparto tecnico in primis. Dopo l’esperienza con RDR2, i videogames non saranno più gli stessi...

    Это моя любимая игра на пс4. Она мне не кажется скучной или слишком реалистичной. У игры гигантский открытый мир, отличный сюжет, интересные побочные задания и т.д. Единственное что мне не понравилось, это система достижений на пс4. Чтобы получить платину надо играть также в rdr online, а онлайн у этой игры мне показался скучным.Это моя любимая игра на пс4.

    This is not just a game, this is a piece of art. Thank you for the perfect mechanics & balance, stunning graphics and a new heartbreaking story. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Sometimes I think that only Rockstar cares about players now days. The job this studio done...is beyond words. The only problem I have... after "RDR" other games seem...weird.

And not only is it boring, it's disturbing! You kill all kind of innocent good people in the most violent ways like it's nothing. I think the critics just gave it a good score because it's "edgy" in that it gets kids to do things that are repulsive to them (or should be anyway!). This game has ALL kind of glitches in it, too! Horses get stuck and they look like they're no a treadmill, I got stuck between two horses at a hitching post and it took me ten minutes to finally get out! Sometimes there's a yellow line to tell you where to go, and sometimes you're just supposed to know which way to go so you ride around like an idiot! I think the critics just had to give it a great score because so much business is riding on it being good, and it's a Rockstar game, and GTA5 did like 5 times as much money as most other games so they had to bet on it being a winner. But it's not! I quit it like 4 times only to read some good post about it somewhere and go back and try to figure out what the critics saw. Well, I can tell you what they saw, an unappealing boring game! Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A slow start made me stop and play RDR2 more than a few times. I felt like I always needed at least a solid two hours per play session in order to really get anything done. There is an absurd amount to do--treasure hunting, animal hunting, missions, strangers, gambling, chores, etc. etc. While that is great, it was a bit overwhelming.

    RDR2 looks absolutely stunning. I love riding around marveling at the landscapes and the variety. The amount of animals, foilage, mountains, rivers, waterfalls and so on are simply stunning. The picture mode let me capture a few photos that may fool a few people into thinking they are real.

    The story, albeit a bit slow, was more movie than video game. That is just how Rockstar does it and I wish it would change. Everything is rigid and set in stone, and I did get frustrated with the pacing--both of the story and being forced to what seemed like a crawl when walking in some missions. But, they do that in order to get all the dialogue out which I can appreciate.

    I enjoyed the time I spend with RDR2. Arthur Morgan quickly made his way up my all time character list and the moment when he tells the nun he's afraid was nothing like I've experienced from a video game.

    Another must-play for me, if for no other reason to get lost in the world.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must own for every video game lover, with it being available on pretty much every platform there is no excuse to not owning it. Even though I do have some problems with the game that I will address in this review, I still think it's a great game and everyone should try it out.

    To start off, the game is absolutely beautiful, for the entirety of the time I played it which is about 50 hours of main missions plus the open world experience, I never got tired of the visuals. Sunsets and mountains in the distance have never looked so fantastic. The soundtrack is also amazing and very immersive, making all those long distance rides on your horse very enjoyable.

    Of course since it's a game by Rockstar Games and the sequel to RDR it has an open world. Because of better graphics I consider this to be their best open world yet. Which is an achievement considering how good GTA V's open world was. But even though the world is very beautiful and detailed RDR2 finds it self with the same problems as some of Rockstar's recent games which is they can't decide weather they want a complete open world experience or a cinematic experience. RDR2 feels stuck between a Bethesda game like Skyrim and Fallout, and a Naughty Dog like Uncharted and The Last of Us. In the open world you can do whatever you want and go wherever you want, however once you enter a story mission you have to go to a specific location doing a specific thing. There is no room for creativity from the player, he's just following orders. I feel like if they would dedicate fully to the open world it would be much better. But looking at the critic reviews of the game I'm in the vast minority there. Don't get me wrong the gameplay can be very fun at points, but I feel like it would be even better if I could control my character more and make my own decisions on how to approach a mission.

    The story is arguably the best part about RDR2, and I think it has a very good story. Just to get started this story is really long, it's about 50 hours, but for most people like myself it took much longer than that because of side missions. Because of the length though I do think that the story can be pretty long drawn, some missions are really boring and tedious but it is really saved by incredibly fun and epic missions. The story is separated into 6 chapters and then 2 epilogues afterwards. Each chapter spanning about 7-8 hours with chapter 5 being the shortest of the 6. The 2 part epilogue is roughly about 1 chapter in length. The length of the story has positives and negatives, with the positives being more character development and more immersion, but the negatives being that the pacing is pretty bad. But the story itself is very well told and Arthur Morgan has turned to one of my favorite video game protagonists of all time.

    To sum up this is a must play for any owner of a good PC, PS4 or Xbox One, and even though it's got its problems we have to appreciate that we don't often get this immersive and beautiful open world in a video game, and accompanied by a well told story. I think everyone should at least try Red Dead Redemption 2

    RDR2 Is one of the better games of 2018. While it is an absolute groundbreaker in terms of the story and the unparalleled attention to detail, the gameplay feels rather cut-and-paste, it shares many similarities with games like GTAV and other rockstar titles.

RDR2 Online, however, falls flat on its face. R* have opted to go with the GTAV approach and have filled the online system with microtransactions, making the online on the verge of a pay to win system, with better weapons and guns either costing gold bars or amounts of money that would take an absolute age to gather by implemented means, with players being vastly underpaid for their time in missions.

    My only significant complaint is the gameplay associated with the fishing mechanics. Attempting to fish can be very frustrating and I ended up avoiding it almost completely. Otherwise I have enjoyed this game immensely.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Honestly this game is a technical masterpiece and a mark of gaming forever, the game's story is so good:

    Arthur Morgan as a character is incredible and his silky smooth voice is great, his death felt right and his redemption arc was very greatly written (if you had good honor and chose to save John).

    The game's side missions and random encounters are funny and weird when they have to be.

    The graphics are breathtaking from the deserts of New Austin to the swamps of Lemoyne.

    Micah's death was very satisfying and sets the stage for the first game, saying that the government didn't have leads on Dutch because Micah died.

    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]
