    most unparalleled. The story is predictable and feels a bit forced - some turn of events simply doesn't make sense and the characters turn either dumb or genius according to what's convenient in furthering the storyline - and it's also quite quite static.

    Red dead Redemption 2 has a great communication with the player into your art direction incredible in your powerful gameplay. Your story is easy to understand, with no great difficulty. Felt in a GTA "sophisticated". A show of charts, becoming thus the best game of the year in my opinion.

Но прежде чем я начну ВНИМАНИЕ ДАННЫЙ ОБЗОР НЕ СОДЕРЖИТ СПОЙЛЕРОВ! Я начну все по порядку, от начала до конца. Я покупал диск через многим известный интернет сайт "eBay". Живу я за границей РФ и думал что игра будет на полностью на Английском языке (Субтитры и интерфейс), но оказалось что игра использует язык системы PS4 а не язык диска, то-есть я играл на русском. Если вы живете за границей РФ то можете покупать Red Dead Redemption 2 и играть с Русскими субтитрами. После запуска игры я в нее быстро освоился и уже начал понимать что к чему (кто главный персонаж и чем он занимается). Затем я играл не спеша, все рассматривали и частенько ходил с лошадью, кстати лошади в игре очень хорошо сделаны и проработанные (прямо как живые). И что меня приятно удивило это детали в игре, я еще НЕ В ОДНОЙ игре не видел чтобы разработчики как скрупулёзно относились к деталям игры! Дальше 3 глава я начал находить баги в игре, недоработки и гличи к слову их тут очень много. Затем 4 глава и вот именно на 4 главе мое отношение к игре просто перевернулось. Я уже почти прошел 4 главу и думаю "ладно завтра проснусь и пройду главу". Просыпаюсь я и осознаю что мое сохранение ПОВРЕДИЛОСЬ!!!!! я такой не понял, перезапустил PS4, все ровно поврежден! Как я узнал? Я загружался 10 минут и нечего не происходило! Зашел в интернет и почитал форумы что не только у меня на 4 главе такое происходит. Нашел решение но для него надо-было иметь ручное сохранение что конечно у меня не было. Вообщем расстроился я но не стал забивать а начал опять проходить только быстрым темпом хочу сказать что "спидранить" эту игру эта одна боль. Все действия за заскриптованные и иза этого возникали гличи и баги. Вообщем после того как в поте лица прошел ее можно сказать заново. И после прохождение до момента где я был я перестал ее "спидранить". Ну и дальше прошел так до 6 главы затем эпилог. И знаете игра заставляет задуматься (не буду говорить о чем иначе спойлеры). Вообщем в заключение хочу скачать что игра 10/10 да баги, да гличи и всякая такая ерунда но, эта игра поистине "творческое искусство". Если у вы можете купить Red Dead Redemption 2 до смела покупайте только сохраняйте в ручную ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО!!! Expand

    Hello, Cowboys and Cowgirls! I've played this game since December 2018, and I've gotta to say that this is one of the most phenomenal games I've played!

    The story has far the best thing I've experienced that I enjoyed spending time with my gang! The character development: Arthur Morgan is growing on me that he has become one of my favorite protagonists in Rockstar games. It's crazy how long I'd played my first Red Dead Redemption as John Marston, but Arthur is better than John actually. Sorry, John.

    However, the map is pretty cool and interesting at the same time. There are also fun easter eggs and crazy funny bastards! The horse is pretty chunky and hard to control, but the relationship with the horse is about friendship and teamwork, but sometimes, I hate when my horse ran away from me because of the gunshots and snake-bite. It's disrespectful and annoying, but you get the hang of it. I like the weapons that it's fun to use it while fighting outlaws and lawmen. It's nice that I cleaned my weapons and relaxing like a true cowboy in the old west.

    Multiplayer, on the other hand, is not impressed and boring. I mean you don't get anything to do with this online because of shooting, riding around, deathmatch, and stranger's stories that will boost to high honor or low honor. I know it's a beta, but I hope this multiplayer will do something big instead of beta. Overall, a fantastic game and I've really enjoyed it! Rockstar strikes again!

    Beautiful game with a great story. Controls can be a bit clunky but never hindered my experience with the game. All the little details in this game really add up in making it one of the most immersive games ever made. I would also like to point out that the base story is worth $60 alone but the fact they are still bringing us multiplayer is such a huge bonus.

    This game is as close to next gen gaming as you can get. Easily the best open world game since the witcher 3. If you enjoy western history or movies you will love this game. The beginning is slow yes, but if you can get past that part and the somewhat clunky/difficult controls the game has, i think you have one of the best gaming experiences of past decade and easily a GOTY contender.

The historical references are all there and make since with tongue and cheek personality as well as impartiality. The diverse cast of characters break stereotypes so this game is not just Grand Theft Horse, This game is a whole new step by Rockstars Games in order to bring back traditional story telling and multiplayer with a vast array of combat and minigames. Poker Dominoes Five Finger Fillet that is only included in the story mode but is reasonable because the Online is in the Beta Fish stage. Also the fist fighting is really impressive with the amount of detail and realism. The level design is perfect because of the amount of realism and environmental effects, So to some it all up the game has very few flaws that can't be picked at because the amount of positives out weigh the negatives. This game deserves game of the year. Expand

    I switched to PC gaming several years ago and never really looked back, except for one time a couple of years ago when I felt compelled to replay the first Red Dead Redemption and had to dust of my old PS3 to do it. There had been a handful of console exclusives over the years that looked interesting to me, but I could take them or leave them. Red Dead 2 was the exception. I bought a PS4I switched to PC gaming several years ago and never really looked back, except for one time a couple of years ago when I felt compelled to replay the first Red Dead Redemption and had to dust of my old PS3 to do it. There had been a handful of console exclusives over the years that looked interesting to me, but I could take them or leave them. Red Dead 2 was the exception. I bought a PS4 to play this game.

    Let me start off by saying that I am a fan of open world games. I've probably logged the most hours of anything I've ever played on one of Bethesda's many sprawling open world games, I played Breath of the Wild from start to finish, the last few Assassins Creed games, I tend to love the Far Cry series and I've liked most of the GTAs (particularly GTA5). This game was probably made for people like me and the high rating I gave it probably speaks to that fact.

    It's difficult for me to articulate just how different RDR2 feels to any of what came before... even the first RDR. On the face of things, the many activities you can participate in in the world of Red Dead aren't all that different from the things you could do in, say, Far Cry 5. You can hunt, you can go fishing, you can wander off in basically any direction and get yourself into trouble you're not really equipped to deal with yet. And much like with its sister (mother?) series GTA, you're never short on something to do, or strangers and weirdos to do them with. And yet... it is different.

    There's something slower about it, I feel like the game isn't constantly trying to entertain me with exciting stimuli and somehow this manages to be a good thing. Around 70% of the game seems to involve genuinely peaceful strolls and rides through idyllic simulated countryside, which only serves to make the action sequences stand out all the more.

    This is largely achieved by imposing limitations on the gamer that we aren't used to. Gamers and fans of GTA/RDR have come to expect certain things, like the ability to fast travel easily, the ability to store literally anything, big or small, in a Tardis-like pocket dimension hidden in a bag or satchel and various other unrealistic luxuries that this game withholds from you. OK, Arthur's satchel can still hold a hell of a lot, but you have to store all of your animal pelts and carcasses on your horse's back, where there is limited room. And sure, you can take a carriage from one town to another, or fast travel from your camp (after upgrading it), but you'll always have to ride back to your camp every time. Which is often. if you like hunting (I do) and you need to make room for more fresh kills, you have to drop the carcasses off with Pearson (the camp chef), or cart the larger skins all the way out to the Canadian Trapper before you can kill and skin more like it. This should be tedious. Somehow it isn't. Somehow the act of repeating these patterns of riding out, hunting, fishing, trading and returning to the camp winds up being a quite meditative process.

    I mentioned that I like hunting sims. It's a weird thing, I don't hunt, I never have, I have no desire to, but any game that includes a decent hunting sim seems to be improved by it, the more realistic the better. Well... RDR2 has the most vivid and visceral hunting sim I've ever seen. It takes a little getting used to (especially when you have to put an animal out of its misery, because you failed to kill it right the first time), but this is a big part of what makes the world feel so real.

    The small towns and cities are also beautifully realized. Saint Denis especially seems to be a fantastic period recreation of my favourite American city (New Orleans) and I enjoyed those parts of the game that were set there immensely.

    As for the story... if you've seen Netflix's Ballad of Buster Scruggs and you liked it, then this is probably going to work for you. I really loved it. I won't go into spoilers here, but I really enjoyed getting to know all of the gang members and embarking on these big, chaotic missions that disrupt the order of these towns and cities, or that peaceful countryside I just spent so long rattling on about.

    Like many RDR fans, I was hoping I'd get to play as John Marston again and was a little leery of his replacement 'Arthur Morgan', especially since John is present at the outset of the game as an NPC gang member. It took a little while, but Arthur really grew on me and by the end I think I wound up liking him more than John (the giant mustache I'd spent the whole game cultivating definitely helped).

    All in all, this might be my favourite game of the past decade. It was well worth buying the console to play it.

But with the passing of history, you get involved with him, being a very charismatic and arrogant character at the same time. The graphics are wonderful with that realistic environment where you sit in the Wild West. You get involved with some characters and some not so much, not counting on exciting parts to take your breath away. But not everything is flowers, most of the time the mission is located in a distant place and needs to mount the horse to the place consuming a lot of time. Expand

    But it's not perfect. it still has something that I don't like and it's the main part of this game.
    - I like the realistic picking up animation but the controlling feel awkward. Sometime I have to switch to first person camera just for picking up a salmon can (when it has a lot of thing on the floor). I think it can be better than this. For the example use the touchpad on dualshock for picking up, tap to see what i can pick around here by show the popup menu and drag the touchpad to the thing that you want and run the animation .. or do something. I know you can press R1 for this, but it doesn't work when it has a lot of thing on the floor or table you still need to stand in front of that thing perfectly, it's not easy and waste of time.
    - In some mission I feel like this game locked my horse to the direction that the game think I should go. I know the game just don't want me to worry about riding and focus on shooting but it make me confused when this thing happen. The game should show something make me know when my horse is in autopilot mode.

    For overall it's still great but I know why some people don't like it. It's not for everyone, if you don't like the slow gameplay you may don't like this game.

    PS. I want to give 9.5 if I can.

    and there are other things for example, online there are so many more clothing choices then offline. that may only be a small thing but there eare others like it.

    the story is absolutley brillirant and it has some of the best writing of any game i've evere played, the charectures are deep and interesting. the voice acting is superb, it feel organic and real, this helps to make the player feel imeressed in the gang. the charecters are each very different and they all have their little querks.

    you play as arthur, he is honestly perfect for the game. as the game progresses so does he, the game oftern gives you coices in missions that can raise or lower your infamy (karma kind of thing) and these can build your arthur. by the end of the game this game completely had me, and i wont ruin anything but the end really amazing.

    now for the brown on the mostly perfect apple, online. simply put there is very little to do, you cant rob stores and horses to then sell them, you cant even tame wild horses. this makes it really hard to make large amounts of money. this breeds the type of player that just goes around killing others. there is nothing to do but kill eachother and the person who has the better guns nearly always wins and that is more likley to be the one who has bough money.

    overall i still think you should get this game, its fun interesting and well made. the online will hopsefully be updated to high heven and be quite so boring.

    I'm kind of scared of playing any other video-games now because I got a feeling they'll look and feel like crap in comparison to this.

    All my issues with this game have to do with story progression and pacing, but other than that, this is quite the masterpiece. CD Project Red, Naughty Dog and Rockstar are reigning over the video game industry, honestly, and I'm so glad there are

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Finally rolled the credits yesterday. What a game Red Dead Redemption is, it's sheer size and ambition is something to be marvelled at.
    The games chapters are a excellent way of telling your story as Arthur. It starts of quite slow giving you the opportunity to explore the open world, hunting, fishing and everyday life all work well in the game and never really feels out of place. As the chapters progress from around 4 the pace of the game changes, which limits your ability to freely wonder round much of the world.
    By the end of the game I was playing it by just doing the missions, it almost felt like a long slog. especially as fast travel is discouraged and the horse riding becomes a chore rather than a pleasant experience.

    My gripes with the game are the horse riding which as said becomes annoying, rather than enjoyable. although the bond with my horse was amazing and made that moment at the end of the game so much harder :(.
    The shooting mechanic through out the game is hot garbage, the auto aim works sometimes but then moves as you fire, missing your target. I did like the dead eye system, especially when opponents weak points are highlighted.
    My final disappointment is the Epilogue, which at least half of it felt drawn out and totally pointless. I get it's attempting to set up your new life as John but come on, some of the things you have to do are mundane and didn't need to be in there.

    After outlining my disappointments I feel confident to still give the game a 9, because all the good things in the game, the general look of it, the exploration, the story itself far outweigh the bad points.
    Its a masterpiece of this gaming generation with only a small few issues robbing it of a perfect score.

    All good day. I guess I'm a little late with my review or review, whatever. I love Rockstar Games and their masterpieces very much. They release their projects every 5 years and I believe that this is the company that can afford to do so. And so, I have certain criteria for evaluating games. I'll tell you about it some other time. Let's get started! On the schedule here and say somethingAll good day. I guess I'm a little late with my review or review, whatever. I love Rockstar Games and their masterpieces very much. They release their projects every 5 years and I believe that this is the company that can afford to do so. And so, I have certain criteria for evaluating games. I'll tell you about it some other time. Let's get started! On the schedule here and say something special nothing. Great work has been done. Let me give you an example: a footprint from a boot left in the mud. Oh **** Eggs horse, which from cold are shrinking! The blood that comes out of the wound when you're in the water. 10/10 music in this game is also great, just no words! 10/10 Interface well with the usual + there is no unnecessary prompts or something. 8/10 the Gameplay... Well then you need to play. The most important feature of RDR 2 is that it events are created themselves. Just imagine, you're jumping on somewhere and suddenly encounter someone and then read the shooting where you win. Then you Rob the attacker and suddenly you are attacked by a pack of wolves (sorry for the tautology) and breaks you apart. Here is a small adventure of which no one knew, it's personal, I meant it. So also a wonderful shooting, walking, interaction with the game world. The realism of this world is off the charts. 10/10 Modes or how to entertain yourself here is more than enough. You can go fishing, hunting or Rob a train. You can go drink beer in the saloon or play poker (and he is very good here). 10/10 the Complexity of the, its as such here there is no. There is just a very smart AI, which just gives realism to this virtual world. 10/10 the Story here seems to be the most common. Interesting, exciting and long. It's a Western, so don't complain!!! 9/10 the Characters here are very well spelled out. You are experiencing with them all the misfortunes and hardships. You sympathize with them, I even let a tear in the end, I'm sure you do too. 10/10 Novelty. Rockstar release a new game after 6 years. Well, the excitement immediately rose around. Well, games with this theme is very small. 10/10 so what we get... Yes, exactly!!! 10/10 This game is a masterpiece! Just someone it seemed too dull and boring, and who is relished. Thank you all who have read up to here, very grateful! My advice to you: play only good games! Expand

    This one snuck up on me. The combat leaves a little something to be desired, but the pure immersion you feel when playing this game is unparalleled. I'd give it a 9.5 if I could but I'll round to 10 for an amazing story, groundbreaking graphics, and my love for hunting, skinning and trading.

    I have finally completed Red Dead Redemption 2, I have to say.. WOW.

    Rockstar Games have made a true masterpiece, the main character Arthur Morgan is definitely my all time favourite video-game charterer.

    The amount of detail that has been put into this game is incredible, the visuals are breathtaking despite playing this since October. Like everywhere you go, there is always small details.

    Now, I would like to discuss the AI. I'm a long time GTA V player on PC, the AI in V was terrible but Rockstar have really put in a lot effort into the AI in Red Dead Redemption 2. Also, they have really done outstanding job for the weather!

    I think Red Dead Redemption 2 definitely deserved Game of The Year in 2018, although God of War was an outstanding game!

    Many reviews from here complain about the prologue and the controls, well.. the prologue lasts about for two hours, it gives you a taste to what to expect in the story and gives you time to learn the controls. Now I have no issue with the controls what so ever, although sometimes it can feel clunky while in major shoot outs.

    Now, Red Dead Online... I'm not impressed with it. There's literately nothing to do, I hope Rockstar will improve the mode in the near future. They definitely need to add a ton of content to the mode, but at the end of the day they are calling the mode a BETA in the meantime..

    So, the technical details. I played Red Dead Redemption 2 on PlayStation 4 Pro. There is one big downside playing it on the Pro, Rockstar has implemented some weird checkerborad resolution which is resulting the game to look blurry but the frame-rate is amazing. I haven't experienced any major frame drops.

    That's all I have to say about Red Dead Redemption 2. I personally think this is the best game I have played this generation and I hope we will see a port for the next PlayStation and Xbox. (and PC of course!)

    this game is a masterpiece, does it have flaws? yes, but what game doesn;t?

    the pros: beautiful world, very realistic in many ways, like fields mountains etc look real, water, well as real as it can be I guess. interactions with AI, everyone thought the witcher 3 had good interaction with AI, but no game has gone through the trouble of having actual dialogue with every AI in the game,

    interactions with AI, everyone thought the witcher 3 had good interaction with AI, but no game has gone through the trouble of having actual dialogue with every AI in the game, where other games, if you try to talk to other AI they migth say one word or two or just grumble or ignore you, the devs went all out here,
    story is good, and for once you actually feel like your actions in the game, make a difference.
    the game does well to immerse you in the world.

    the cons:
    horse doesn't alway do as you command, and sometimes causing you to fly off, it can get very annoying at times,

    shooting: aiming is difficult, (but i am usually a pc gamer and used to pin point accuracy, so take this with a grain of salt).

    game is worth your time and money.

    I give this game a good, solid 9. This review applies to the story mode only.
    A vast, beautiful, and imaginative open world, filled with colorful characters. Deep emotional story with funny, quirky, unusual, scary, and sometimes downright bizarre side missions and random encounters. I can only imagine the amount of research that went into designing the world and wildlife in this game.

    A vast, beautiful, and imaginative open world, filled with colorful characters. Deep emotional story with funny, quirky, unusual, scary, and sometimes downright bizarre side missions and random encounters. I can only imagine the amount of research that went into designing the world and wildlife in this game. From the way animals move, the seasons, the dynamic weather system and time of day events, this game's world is an absolute masterpiece. Good or bad, harmful or helpful actions influence the way NPCs react to the player and their dialog as well.. This rating system also influences some cutscenes and appearance of side missions.

    There is a lot of different animals (178) in this game which the player can hunt; the pelts and other body parts being used to craft special gear and clothing, or can simply be sold for money. Some players (like myself) enjoy grindy games. This one is a winner as far as that goes. R* did a great job immersing the player in the experience and getting the player emotionally invested in the main character.

    This game is a work of art but it isn't for everyone. There is quite a lot of time spent in which the action moves rather slowly. I don't view this as a bad thing. It is simply that the player needs to realize that this isn't the action-packed, fast paced game that GTA5 was.

    The reason why I don't give this a 10 is that there are some issues. There's issues with every game but the issues in this one seem to be ones that the devs could've and should've fixed. For example, the button and menu layouts are not very intuitive. In fact, they are counter-intuitive. You may be confused as hell the first couple hours. The removal of fast travel is another con. It's quite the burden when it takes 10 minutes to go from one place to another. The map is gigantic. Seriously freakin huge. We should've had the fast travel option earlier in the game, and should have been able to do it from a campfire like in RDR1. I understand why they didn't do this. I assume it is because they want the player to run into the myriad of random encounters. But that isn't fair to the players that just want to complete the story and not much else. The players that are going to explore are going to anyway, whether there's expanded fast travel or not.
    There's also far too many immersion breaking glitches. They are minor ones but they still matter. But I blame that on the game developing climate of today which seems to be "release now, patch later". But honestly, I expect more from R*, especially with the amount of work put into this game.

    Other than the small issues, the game overall is amazing. Once you get used to the controls and the menu, it is fantastic. It's not for everyone. Some players won't like it because it takes time to get into. The beginning is rather slow as well. Some people like balls to the walls, non-stop action and this game doesn't offer that. If you are doubtful, you should wait for the price to drop.

    Минусы классические для игр Рокстар: вот тебе нереально проработанный открытый мир, который дышит, и будто живёт без тебя, даже когда ты выключаешь консоль, но есть одно но: миссии. Чтобы начать миссию, тебе нужно придти вот в это конкретное место, где тебя ждёт вот эта катсцена. После неё тебе нужно сделать то-то, и пойти/поскакать туда-то, где ты будешь должен сделать то-то и то-то. Внизу экрана всегда заботливо написано, что и когда ты должен делать во время миссий. Если ты сделаешь что-то не то или не так, игра любезно вернёт тебя к чекпоинту, с которого ты обязан будешь сделать всё так, как надо. Genius.

    Честно говоря, иногда немного жалко, что такой нереальный сеттинг не делают в формате какого-нибудь линейного и кинематографичного Анчартеда, где всё те же катсцены и "делай то-делай это", но нет иллюзии сВаБодЫ, которая заканчивается, когда ты начинаешь миссию. И это, честно говоря, сильно ослабляет сюжет, потому что я себя гнал по миссиям, пропустив очень много побочного контента, успокаивая себя тем, что "ну потом, во втором прохождении всё обнюхаю", типа как в Скайриме, где каждый камень пытается дать тебе квест, и через 100+ часов ты можешь ещё не сдвинуться по сюжету.

    Но даже со всеми этими минусами это всё равно всё ещё одна из лучших игр за всю мою жизнь. В ней просто приятно находиться: ходить, дышать, скакать на лошади, чистить её, кормить, няшить собак, помогать случайным путникам и попадать в засады, охотиться, рыбачить, спать под звёздным небом в палатке... После РДР2 у меня полное чувство, что я на самом деле побывал в Америке конца 19-го века. Такие игры это искусство, а не просто развлечение.

    9,5/10, потому что имхо Рокстаровская подача сюжета не слишком удачно прикручивается к напичканной возможностями песочнице, мб когда-нибудь в играх будет симуляция нелинейного сюжета с 10 концовками и нелинейностью миссий, но то, что уже достигнуто, выше всяких похвал.

    Rockstar best not f**k me like this ever again - the must-buy list is a sacred place. Everyone gets one but that was theirs. That said I can't deny it's gorgeous - some scenes look so good it's almost breathtaking, hence 6 rather than 2 - but it's way too boring not to abandon it after a week or two tops. Shame really because the first one was so much fun

    Off the bat I hated this game. The intro was slow and long, and I was worried it be a game that cared more about presentation than game. But boy was I wrong.

    I have no patience in games. I want to get in JRPGs, strategy, etc but can't. Don't even try to get me started on Walking Sims. So it should say something how the slower life simulator aspects make the game immersive as hell. I have

    I have no patience in games. I want to get in JRPGs, strategy, etc but can't. Don't even try to get me started on Walking Sims. So it should say something how the slower life simulator aspects make the game immersive as hell. I have played basicay every AAA open world game, but not a single one has ever created a world that feels so alive and dynamic (except maybe BOTW) while having one of the greatest character stories ever told in a video game. Let me explain:

    As good as many open world games are, they often feel like giant hub worlds with mission starts and collectibles to get. Things can happen but it still feels like you're almost in a glorified level select with npcs. But in RDR2, nothing feels like a checklist, and there is just so much detail and Rockstar have found a way to implement it so fluidly you'll lose all your time to just exploring and living in it. Just getting on your horse and going to an area you haven't been is inherintly rewarding bc you never know what you find.

    It isn't an rpg so stats and upgrade items are really a thing, what you'll find are unique and interesting landmarks or stories. You may come across the remains of a suicide cult, a haunted house, a lonely woman learning to brave the wilderness on her own after her husband died, bumbling KKK idiots you can firebomb, etc. All incredibly written, voice acted, or just told through the scenery and notes. And this goes for the entire game. Everything is done to most excruciating level of detail, whether it's the jaw dropping graphics, the unparraeled quaility of voice acting, or basic mechanics on how characters and animals move and interact with the world.

    You'll see a lot of reviews saying how the over concentraction on "realism" hurts the momentum, but trust me, as someone with little patience, once you get into it it truly all adds to what makes the world feel alive and real in an engaging and fun way. Yes it's still the same rockstar gun mechanics, but I found it satisfying as all hell bc of the dead eye mechanic and the outstanding sound design that make the shootouts intense and visceral. And it also does have kind of a morality based mechanic effecting the narrative but done in a way that's entirely baked into the game and effecting by how you play vs a shallow pick and choose (the best I can compare it to is Silent Hill 2) that really ties what happens to the person you made Arthur to be. So I cried like a gosh darn baby at the end of my first playthrough bc you feel so attached to everything. YOU are Arthur Morgan, the horse you choose is YOUR best friend, and this is YOUR story. While there are games that are amazing bc they feel very gamey and I wouldn't want every game to try to be like this, I believe this is an evolution in games as an art, using the medium to immerse you in a way no film or book can.

    Is RDR2 completely perfect? No, but I don't think a game this size ever will be. But I still give it a 10, because it just is a great game. It looks fantastic, the voice acting is really really good, I really like the humor, the mood is totally 'Western' - what can I say?

    Это просто шедевр, я проходил концовку на одном дыхании. Многие говорят, что большой проблеммой игры являются долгие скачки на лошади через всю карту, так вот не согласен с этим. Если двигаться четко по сюжету, то долние перемещения будут в виде кат сцен, если же путишествие организовываете вы самостоятельно, то во время него будут великолепные виды и часто появляющиеся легкие передряги,Это просто шедевр, я проходил концовку на одном дыхании.

Если двигаться четко по сюжету, то долние перемещения будут в виде кат сцен, если же путишествие организовываете вы самостоятельно, то во время него будут великолепные виды и часто появляющиеся легкие передряги, по типу нападения шайки бандитов О'Дрисскола или помощь бедолаге, попавшему в капкан. Касаемо сюжета, местами бывало скучновато, но концовка перекрывает этот небостаток. Что касаемо графики, даже на низких настройках игра выглядит великолепно, словно фильм. 10/10, респект разработчикам Expand

And of course the story is beyond amazing, it’s all about the characters and how they evolve throughout the story, and it’s done perfectly well! Supporting all that also is the perfect soundtrack, with so much battle and relaxing tunes that are so well made. Plus the game has an alright online mode, it’s mainly a bonus to an already amazing game. Red Dead Redemption 2 is beyond amazing, it’s gameplay and story both support each other in this endless joyful game, everything feels fresh never gets old with the variety which is very impressive for an open world game.

    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.
