    This game is more slow paced than the Grand Theft Auto games, but in my opinion, it's better...

    The weapons are fun to use.
    Being able to customise them is pretty fun.

    The story is probably the best in a game so far, it could've been a film story.

    This game also added a first person mode, which I always seem to spend my time in.

    Easily one of the greatest gaming experiences of the last decade.

    Maybe tue very best game of the generation. No disrespect to God Of War Tho. I Believe RDR2 has a way better character and a lot of amazing Drama that is completely enjoyable. Definitly I fell in love with this game since the very first minutes.

    It's been a year since I've played RDR2, and I had and have played many open-world games before and after finishing this Rockstar masterpiece and I keep thinking "It's good but it's not as good as RDR2". RDR2 is may favorite open-world game and Arthur Morgan is one of my most beloved characters this generation has seen. Good story, great graphics, emotions.

    Biggest disappointment on the PS4. I've completed the original RDR on 100%, and I was really hyped for the prequel. But rockstar gave us a silly story (we need time), and too much addition to small irrelevant details (why bother to buy things for the camp, when it does not affect anything). Good game, nothing more.

    It has everything one should hope for in an open-world game. From fishing by a snowy lake to hunting deer in the woods to even playing cards with townsfolk and your gang.

    The only downside to this is that the big bad only ever shows up a few times and is mostly talked about in dialogue. As such, I never really saw him as anything but some wealthy businessman of the time. Sure he was a bad man but he was so far removed from the other threats to the safety of the gang that for the most part he is irrelevant.

    Even so, this game is a must-have for any PlayStation user.    … Expand

Их пишут либо завистливые пекари, которым не завезли игру с самого начала, либо люди, вечно чем-то недовольные. Для меня удивительно видеть комментарии, мол "игра скучная, медленная". Это реализм, я привык к этому спустя пару часов игры. Вначале немножко пугает, но потом втягиваешься и подобный медитативный геймплей начинает нравиться. Сюжет потрясающий. Развитие характера Артура Моргана, когда вначале он предстает перед нами настоящим безжалостным бандитом, который вызывает лишь отвращение, а в конце, когда он умирает, мы уже относимся к нему совершенно по-другому - это прекрасно, это один из лучших сюжетов, что я видел. Шикарные харизматичные персонажи. Ты запоминаешь всех, потому что каждый персонаж уникален и с ним связаны различные интересные истории. За игру я не встретил ни одного квеста в духе подай-принеси. Задания разные, интересные, здесь и ограбление банка, и пьянка с другом в салуне, и перестрелки на лошадях. Про графику и открытый мир тоже говорить нечего. Графика изумительная, это одна из самых красивых игр на пс4, открытый мир не очень насыщенный, надо признать, но периодически различные активности встречаются, а большего и не надо. Ты едешь на лошади и наслаждаешься разнообразными видами и красотами этой игры. Я не понимаю, почему у этого шедевра оценка 8.4. Если бы можно было поставить 11 из 10, я бы это сделал.

The beautiful world, casual encounters and the excellent study of the horses did not let me get bored. I liked walking, studying, talking. As for me, this game did not like people who are used to too dynamic games. RDR 2 is similar in dynamics to Skyrim, but that's just my opinion.

    RDR was my favorite game of all time. RDR2 trumped that. Best game that has ever existed.

    The realism and detail of this massive open world is enough to keep the player immersed. The narrative and performances define each aspect of the game in great depth and excellence. A true successor to Red Dead Redemption 1 and Rockstar‘s greatest achievement till date

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar's magnum opus. A masterpiece which has been years in the making. In this game, you play as Arthur Morgan, set 10 years before the original game. The forefront of this game is the insane detail of events and actions that make the game feel alive and breathing. Everyone feels weirdly "human". You can choose to have low honor and kill innocent people,Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar's magnum opus. A masterpiece which has been years in the making. In this game, you play as Arthur Morgan, set 10 years before the original game. The forefront of this game is the insane detail of events and actions that make the game feel alive and breathing. Everyone feels weirdly "human". You can choose to have low honor and kill innocent people, however, after a while, you can actually feel somewhat attached to the people you kill. People will also treat you different based off your honor level. This game is visually stunning, sounds beautiful, has memorable characters, and gives a challenge for those who want to 100% the game.

    This game would be a 10/10, however, the "exotics" collectable was so tedious for most people to collect, myself included, that a 100% takes forever and just doesn't feel like it's worth it. There are also a few "challenges" (Horseman 9, Gambler 10 etc), that will certainly take hours to complete. It's not challenging, just annoying.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red dead redemption 2 is the best game I have ever had the honor of playing. Now I know how much that sentence has been beaten to death over the years this game has been out but there is merit in the sheer amount of people who would agree with me. To begin I would like to applaud Rockstar for crafting a gorgeous setting and equally beautiful story which had me in tears by the end. The characters in this game are so incredibly strong, with all of them being memorable in there own way. Each mission is crafted with care and filled to the brim with details that not even game theory could discover. The gameplay can occasionally be frustrating at times yet most of the time it is perfect with no hiccups. It is an incredibly long experience with over 60 hours of story and 4 endings depending on what honor level you ended on. The story is unpredictable, sad and exciting with no moment dull or making you want to leave the gang. To conclude I would encourage anyone to play this game and experience it in all of its beauty.… Expand

    This is a masterpiece and a game that must be played with no rush, so you can discover the world you are in, with its insane details, events, characters, animals and nature. A great development of the main characters and a great plot. I want to remark the brilliant job of the musicians and voice actors.

Graphics, revolutionary, animations are amazing, and it's a game I would buy twice, maybe even 3 times. The story, Arthur's journey, and his eventual passing, was the most emotional story I've ever played, I've poured hundreds of hours into this game, and the 60 dollar price tag on it is a steal. I urge you to play this game as soon as possible.… Expand

    It took me three tries to get into this game. The first time I gave up and moved on to something else after the trip down the mountain/broken wheel section. The second time I made it to when Dutch and Arthur enter Saint Denis. The third time, though, was the charm. I restarted the game from scratch, paid attention to the dialogue, and became wrapped.

    The controls (especially when riding) have a learning curve. One of the reasons I quit the second time is because my horse was crashing into things every other time and causing me to fail missions, get arrested, die, or piss off a stranger into shooting me. Trust me, I got over it. You need to invest serious time, energy, and attention into it, and it will greatly reward you for it. As close to a masterpiece as you're going to get.    … Expand

The random open world evens make the game that much more better since its unpredictable. You can be riding and see a guy getting mauled by a wolf. And it does the death of Arthur beautifully, it makes you sad, but also happy that you got to see Arthur live and make things right in the end. The game is also immersive with a very beautiful soundtrack that fits with the exact thing its played over. I love this game, and its a must play for sure.… Expand

    OH man, I put so much into this game at first. I was mentally "RPing" every step of the way, and taking my time in the world. The problem was, the game began to stop me from acting on my natural instinct, constantly making me do specific pre-defined paths (flanking is not an option sometimes). There isn't a "true" obstacle that makes your plan fail, the game simply ends the encounter. ThisOH man, I put so much into this game at first. I was mentally "RPing" every step of the way, and taking my time in the world. The problem was, the game began to stop me from acting on my natural instinct, constantly making me do specific pre-defined paths (flanking is not an option sometimes). There isn't a "true" obstacle that makes your plan fail, the game simply ends the encounter. This design may seem archaic, but I remember the missions in GTA 1-3 having more freedom.

    There are other moments where despite being in a dangerous situation, escaping from the law, heist, or burning building, when the character will walk inexplicably. It absolutely takes the pace to a grinding halt.

    The graphics, the audio, they feel right, but the world feels like Disneyland. Tons of the open world quests are not well tuned. Example - I found an NPC in the world that creates a kind of mini-quest. We had to sneak up and hunt some animal that had stolen something from them or something. His lines were saying "there he is, ok, lets sneak up on him.." something to that effect... and though I'm crouched and sneaking this NPC is just walking normally in front of me toward the prey. This was a random quest late game in the mountain area.

    The mini-game button mashing is extremely false feeling. It doesn't feel like youre "really" doing that activity when youre holding R2 and spamming X or whatever it is.

    You will use your in-game money to purchase weapons, customize them, set up your loadout, etc, and go to a mission, and then the mission begins and you suddenly are completely regeared, and you arent with your horse. Just the default pistol with no rifle or shotgun... I dont understand why this would ever be done.

    The best part of this, and I am being totally serious, is Red Dead Online Poker. I have played a LOT of online video poker games, and this is one of the most immersive and fun pvp poker games i've played no joke. Its awesome that you are your character, and your winnings are going toward your RP journey.. its kind of awesome honestly, Ive made a bunch of money to buy **** in RDO thru the poker haha...

    Im truly EXHAUSTED by the story, and when you finish a mission you will often be at a point really far from your next mission spot... you can fast travel, it takes a minute to crouch and set up camp, and often it will say "cannot fast travel with activities nearby" but I don't see anything on my radar... It happens so much that I dont even bother taking the time to get off my horse, crouch, camp, etc (it takes a while and says 'activities nearby' about 75% of the time). I spend so much time riding horses across spaces...

    Overall the story arc is also badly paced. I dont want to spoil anything, but just as the game is coming to a climax not only in plot points but in characters, where they are kind of at each others' throats, then you spend a LONG final act in a side story... it should have been incorporated into the main story FAR earlier, and the side story been its own climax instead of something tacked onto the end. I dont look forward to the famously boring epilogue, and I feel dead inside trying to finish and then I'm in a situation stuck walking, or I fail a section because I try to be slightly creative with my approach... In conclusion, I have to give a rating based on what the studio should be able to do. We shouldn't be easy on one of the most profit making companies in the business. Lets be honest about the quality of the narrative, the lack of novelty at the systems, the poor pacing in the action sequences, the cover combat that was new in 2006 when Gears of War released.

    Graphics cant carry a game, graphics naturally get better, we cant clap our hands everytime it gets shinier and give it 10/10... cmon.    … Expand

    TLDR; The most detailed, immersive game world out there.. but nowhere near the most fun. Let down by dated, poorly designed combat and missions but overall an incredible experience worth having.

    Most of your time in RD2 will be spent by riding your horse and listening to people's stories and that's not a bad thing. The world you're placed in is beyond anything anyone has made before.    TLDR; The most detailed, immersive game world out there.. but nowhere near the most fun. Let down by dated, poorly designed combat and missions but overall an incredible experience worth having.

    Most of your time in RD2 will be spent by riding your horse and listening to people's stories and that's not a bad thing. The world you're placed in is beyond anything anyone has made before. It's jaw droppingly beautiful.. Even after 60 hours in this game, you will still be stunned by its visuals. It's made all the more satisying by having a horse that needs care and attention which makes you form a strong bond over the course of the game. The detail in the environment, both wilderness and the towns are incredible. The immersion is helped by an interact button that lets Arthur (your character) either interact with someone positively or negatively.. its a small thing but helps make you feel like you're a living breathing person that can and does make an impact on the world around you. The actvities you can partake in , like poker and blackjack in the local saloons are great, especially when you enter firstperson mode. You can really take in the detail and more open world games need activities like this so you can interact with the world and people around you. As you progress through the game, details will change also. Shops will get built , some abbandoned and this happens in so many locations it's easy to miss as you play.

    The story is one of the best in recent gaming history. Arthur is a troubled man, haunted by his past actions and slowly realising the selfish outlaw life he led has left him with nothing but blood on his hands. It's made all the more depressing by the fact you watch Arthur watch his friend and mentor Dutch , slowly turn to madness, becoming more reckless, more violent and abbandon all previous morales (there wasn't many to begin with)

    Gameplay is RD2 biggest issue and one which divides it's playerbase, you can either see past the outdated, poorly designed shooting and mission design or you find it so irriating it ruins the experience for you. For me, I was able to put it to the side for the previously mentioned positives. However, it no less annoyed me and spoiled the experience. When you're in a mission, if you don't follow the instructions exactly, you fail.. you fall too far behind your npc buddy.. you failed. You don't walk to the exact spot it marks on your mini map.. you can't progress. Rockstar games are no stranger to these issues and RD2 isn't the saviour to these glaringly outdated and poorly designed missions. It's a shame when the visuals and story telling around it are some of the best in the business. Next, the shooting.. it's bad. It's a Rockstar game, it's always bad.. it's bland, easy and unimaginitive. Hold left trigger, lock onto target, pull right trigger.. I turned auto lock off and found the shooting to be a little more interesting but there's still a decent amount of auto locking on, it's just not as strong.    … 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]
