    First of all I want to say that this game is not for everybody. This is a really complex game, with a lot of content, and some people may feel overwhelmed because of this. Also the way the game shows you the diversity of its world is in many times confusing or insufficient so it may take a lot of hours in order to understand every part of the game. That being said, this game is not for casuals.

    The story is really good but not excellent cause in some occasions it is kind of forced, but anyway is really epic.

    The characters are the best of the game by far, they have a strong personality and you can recognize them as real persons, and it is remarkable the fact that you feel this with every new character you met.

    The ambientation plus the excellent graphics adds you a perfect immersion in the Far West world. Everything is there with a lot of detail and love. The landscapes, vegetation, the huge variety of animals, and the innumerable number of random events makes you really feel that the world is alive.

    The worst thing of this game is actually the gameplay. The controls are really difficult, it takes you hours to dominate them but they keep being awful. However, this is forgivable because as I said is a so complex game that the dualshock buttons aren’t enough for so many actions. In addition, the game is really slow, for me this is not a problem but if you came here specting a “gta in the far west” let me say that you’re completely wrong. order to understand every part of the game    … Expand

    Simply one of the best games I've ever played. The environments are jaw dropping, the story is heart breaking, and Arthur Morgan is one of the best characters ever written. This is easily one of the most polished games ive ever come across. My only complaint is that the beginning of the game is a little slow, but it MORE than makes up for it.

    The best movie I've ever seen.
    If you want to go through this game, then please treat it like a film that tells the story of one, not the best and not the happiest person. Which in 40-50 hours before your eyes, gradually comes to atonement

    8.5/10. Red Dead makes good use of stunning visuals, but also all of the small details that help bring the world to life. I particularly enjoyed the addition to the narrative by interacting with the camp memebers throughout as this made the experience 'real' rather than waiting to trigger the mission or cutscene.

    I like taking my time in games and you can definitely sink a lot into this one, though by the end I was definitely ready to move on. There is a lot you can do in the game and the gameplay itself can get quite repetitive (as with most Rockstar games imo) by the end. Buy this, upgrade that, go here, shoot these guys etc. However I still had plently of fun doing all those things.    … Expand

    A stunningly polished art direction, birthing a detailed and lavish world ; a straightforward yet nuanced and overall solid story ; an intuitive and realistic gameplay - this makes RDR2 the outstanding video game it is, surely elevating this ludic form to one of art.

    Sometimes you can meet different people. Some of them can ask for help, then thank you and some can rob you.

    2. Das Spiel lässt einen zwar denken das man alles machen kann was man will, man merkt aber schnell das, das nicht der Fall ist. In den Missionen muss man stickt dem vorgegeben weg von Rockstar folgen sonst gilt die Mission als fehlgeschlagen. Zufällige Events in der Welt wiederholen sich nach einiger Zeit sehr oft.

    3. Gameplay ist so quasi das mindeste was ein Cover-shooter so zu bieten hat nur mit das das spiel sich dabei selbst ins Bein beißt. RDR2 versucht auf Teufel komm raus so "Real" wie möglich zu sein, jede Action muss umständlich getätigt werden alles wird detailgetreu nachgeahmt, aber wenn es um kämpfe geht sieht es anders aus. Bei Schlägereien stirbt der andere einfach immer, auch wenn man ihn nicht erwürgt, also Arthur Morgans Fäuste riechen wirklich nach Tod und Friedhof.
    Bei Schusswechseln halten Gegner mehrere Schüsse aus bevor sie sterben, erst mit einem hohen Kaliber ist jeder nach dem ersten Schuss tot...ich weiß das es langweilig wäre wenn jeder nach einem Pistolenschuss stirbt, aber wenn ich auch jede andere Aktion JEDES MAL aufs neue machen muss damit die Welt sich "echt" anfühlt verstehe ich das nicht.

    Trotzdem verliert man sich schnell in der großen schön gemachten Welt und der Geschichte.

    The main reason why I'm giving it a 10/10 is due to the story. It just keeps on giving without breaking previously established lore like todays games. I really enjoyed most of the game, I haven't tried the multiplayer, but the single player story mode alone is enough to grant it 10/10 for me

    Was such a phenomenal game with great characters and story. One of my favourite this generation. I have sunk about thousand hours into this game and havent been bored once with amazing with a vast amount of animals to hunt, items and outfits to craft, and side missions to complete.

    Where to start. It's just a great game, it's good in all aspects. Rockstar again were able to jump above their heads. Living open world, both in cities and beyond. From the technical side, this game is great. From realistic footprints in the mud, to cocking the trigger before firing. A lot of details that are invisible at first glance are very well worked out. It is difficult to imagineWhere to start. It's just a great game, it's good in all aspects. Rockstar again were able to jump above their heads. Living open world, both in cities and beyond. From the technical side, this game is great. From realistic footprints in the mud, to cocking the trigger before firing. A lot of details that are invisible at first glance are very well worked out. It is difficult to imagine how much work is invested in this game. Recreated in the game, the atmosphere of the American frontier of the late 19th century is also worthy of praise. From the Ambarino mountains to the Lemoyne marshes, from Valentine to Saint Denis, from the smallest elaboration of the environment to the catalog of weapons (identical to the real catalog of those years).
    The plot, the word redemption in the title is not for nothing, in the first half of the game, the plot is extremely slow to develop, but after Chapter 4, the plot is transformed. First of all, this is facilitated by the characters. Almost every member of the Van Der Linde gang is at least a memorable character, especially the main character, Arthur Morgan is one of the best characters in the history of the gaming industry. It is well written from the point of view of the script, it is perfectly voiced, you empathize with Arthur, the character had his own worldview, but in the story, Arthur begins to doubt the correctness of his and Dutch's decisions, which leads to a great ending. Also pleased with the new characters( Sadie Adler,Hosea, Lenny, Charles Smith and the leader of the Indians), with a new side revealed already known characters( Dutch, John Marston and his family).
    The gameplay of rdr2 is already a controversial topic, a lot of people did not like the slow pace of the game, I can really agree with this, but personally I do not think the gameplay is slow, because I liked Kingdom Come Deliverens, the rest of the gameplay is good. Horse racing, shooting (especially by the physics), robberies, a lot of mechanics. Everything is good, except for the mandatory walk in the camp, it is certainly atmospheric, but everything is exactly infuriating. Speaking of the camp, the development of the camp, its activities, inhabitants and interaction deserves special praise
    In General, this is a very high-quality game, but unfortunately not everyone can like it because of the setting and slow narrative / gameplay.    … Expand

Если вас это беспокоит, то проходите мимо этого шедевра и идите дальше играйте в свои говно-сессионки по типу колды и фортнайта.

    One of the most immersive games ever played. With great amount of detals and feels like living a real live in the West. It is one of the best games for those like immersive gameplay and great story.
    The game unveils the world slowly in the first few chapters and story progress was slow, it might not be a great game for someone who wish to finish a game quick or looking for endless excitements.

The game play is mostly fun and changes a lot during the game. The characters are well written and the side quests are fun too. I think the whole part where you are on the other island isn't necessary and just slows the plot down. It fells like it is another game and doesn't belong in here.

One of the things I love about this game was that it took Arthur to recognise his mortality to finally ignite a desire for change and a quest for purpose and that his solution was altruistic and personal (helping John start a new life). I believe the game is saying that it doesn't matter how long it takes; it doesn't matter how grand your deed is, as long as you can help to make that change then your legacy lives on with that, no matter if you are forgotten.… Expand

    RDR2 is the greatest game of all time. No game has made such a storyline with characters that you grow to love. There are so many different things to do you can play the game multiple times and almost always find something new that you had not seen before. I have yet to get to 100% completion on gameplay. Just so much and we’ll thought out.

    Excellent game, lost more than one sleepless night. The smallest elaboration of details and trifles, the open world amazes both visually and with various surprises and opportunities.
    The plot of the game more than once will cause a "wow." But I also understand that not everyone will like the game because of the leisurely gameplay and storytelling.

    Outstanding. I get goosebumps just thinking about it’s breathtaking visuals and world. It’s well written and executed character arcs and epic shootouts. Arthur Morgan is the star of the show and boy does he shine bright. Cap this off with an emotional and beautiful yet tragic story with a perfect and satisfying ending(s). You got one of the best games ever created.

Интересно наблюдать за становлением героя в процессе прохождения, красивые пейзажи, интересный открытый мир.Очень атмосферная игра с харизматичным главным героем.

    The game ended up being more engaging than I was anticipating. The story is interesting, and I found myself wondering where Arthur's journey would end up as I watched him struggle with good/bad. The world itself is breathtaking and I can honestly boot up the game just to ride around and look at the gorgeous scenery.    … Expand

    It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]

    Amazing not only for Western lovers. No other game has probably offered so many options to express yourself in the open world, and at the same time did not have such an interesting, rough and moving story. A magnificent experience, with a slightly slower start. [Issue#291]
