This game is wonderful. In terms of graphics, the story has no equal. I gave it a score of 9 because of the online part, which is not good at all, and there are very few updates for the online part. is coming Expand

The technically best game ever made up until now in 2023, checks of every single box that makes a video game a contender for best ever made, the story is the most perfect and well written ever made in video game media with a protagonist so gripping and real it makes you feel as if he was a real person, open world detail as impeccable as can be with the smallest details to the eyes of people dilating to the light to the biggest details with npc interaction in all sorts of ways, the combat is amazing with dead eye feature and customization availability, one of if the most replayable game I have ever witnessed (500 hours).

    The most amazing video game I've ever played. Occasionally I veer off and play assassin's Creed, or horizon zero dawn or witcher 3, but always end up back in rdr2.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Firstly, I’d like to state that I am giving RDR2 a 9.5. Some of the complaints from other users make me question how well they’ve understood the game/mechanics, others are valid. 1) The story is absolutely beautiful. The tale of a man trying to be better than his past self, while his demons haunt him every day is a tale as old as man, and a relatable one. The characters become family, depending on the type of player you are, you will eat with them, celebrate with them, love and hate them. The side characters too, each come with deep backgrounds and heavy messages to share. 2) Arthur Morgan—
    This character is truly one of the most well written characters in gaming as a whole. This man, in a way feels like a close friend by the end of the game. You’re not only playing as him, but you are in his head as well. Alike any man, he has his flaws, and mistakes made, but by god he is an aspiration of what a good man truly is. By the end, you’re left with grief that you’ll never see your friend again, and that memorable feeling is heavy. 3) The atmosphere in this game is beautiful, and ugly at times. The traffic, and the way the NPCs move are frustrating at times, alike real life. However, the immersion you feel from the wild, the city folk, and the conflicting gangs/family are truly outstanding. The ability to talk to anyone in the game is groundbreaking, and hopefully we see that more in games to come. The three-sentence conversations does leave you wishing for more at times, especially while talking to the gang, but this is still new tech so it’s welcomed for me. 4) The controls— The controls are definitely like any other rockstar game from the past, which is mainly why I knocked it down a little from a ten. The controls/gameplay is quite frustrating at times, whether you’re trying to get away from the law and your horse won’t catch up to you, or your character seems to have a mind of his own. However, the shooting feels outstanding, hunting and fishing feels real and comes with great satisfaction, and riding on your horse never felt better. Their are tons of minutiae details within the gameplay that I’ve seen some dislike, such as watching how hungry/dirty your horse is, which is understandable, however to most players I feel like would only increase the immersion. Fast travel DOES exist from the start, which some are failing to understand. You can either unlock it at camp, which allows you to fast travel anywhere you could set up a camp, or simply go to any city and fast travel via stage coach or train. 5) Law Systems—
    At times, leaves a giant loophole in the story. The fact you could pay off your bounty only serves as plot armor, as your gang is wanted all across the states. If I kill 100 lawmen and only have a $40 bounty, it does take away the immersion. However, understanding that paying $1000+ or plain being wanted dead or alive without any change would make the game simply impossible, therefore some compromise has to be in order. I do agree, if you run over someone because your horse decides to full on sprint at a person, shouldn’t be an immediate crime if you could get off, help them and apologize but I digress. TL;DR: The games story and protagonist is top tier and serves as a staple for how a single player story should be made. Emotional, immersive, beautiful, and horrible. I do believe some minor changes should’ve been tweaked a long time ago, as well as a next gen re-release fixing these issues, but that doesn’t warrant a lesser score.

    I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 with high expectations, but I'm deeply disappointed. The game is a terrible experience from the first moment. This snow is very boring at first. What a disaster!

    Furthermore, the choice to start the game in winter was a terrible mistake. I was hoping for an exciting adventure in the Wild West, but instead I was greeted with a dreary and bland environment
    I bought Red Dead Redemption 2 with high expectations, but I'm deeply disappointed. The game is a terrible experience from the first moment. This snow is very boring at first. What a disaster!

    Furthermore, the choice to start the game in winter was a terrible mistake. I was hoping for an exciting adventure in the Wild West, but instead I was greeted with a dreary and bland environment covered in snow. Why didn't they start the story in a more interesting setting?

    I barely made it through the first two hours of the game. The gameplay was tedious, and the story didn't hold me back at all. Honestly, I've never regretted spending my money on a game so much. Red Dead Redemption 2 is complete rubbish, and I don't see how anyone could enjoy that experience. I'm not going to continue playing, and I wouldn't recommend it to my worst enemy. Total waste of time and money.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 es un juego que marca un antes y un después en el mundo de lo videojuego, si bien hay muchos títulos que cumplen con mis estándares, sin duda alguna RDR2 las cumple con creces. Comenzando con la banda sonora que en un videojuego es importante, ya que es a través de este medio por el cual el jugador conecta aún más con el gameplay y en RDR2 se logra tal efecto.

    El Gameplay y las mecánicas van de la mano. Para este apartado me gustaría mencionar que lograron algo que en la actualidad es difícil de ver en un videojuego triple A, lo cual es buenos gráficos, consecuencias de nuestras acciones en el entorno del juego y las mecánicas, que fusionan de forma maravillosas. Por mecánicas me refiero a las armas, mantenimiento de las mismas, la pesca, montar a caballo, los diferentes juegos de azar y un largo Etc.

    Para finalizar la historia y la duración. La historia es una obra maestra, pues dentro del juego se encuentro el sentido humano, no voy a extenderme mucho, ni explicar más sobre este caracter, pero si quiero mencionar que la historia es lo más humano que he llegado a ver en los videojuegos, no hay ficción. Hay realidad, pura y cruda. Los personajes están bien escritos, al menos en su mayoría, hay algunos detalles que no me gustaron, pero no le quita merito de que la historia funciona bien con todos los elementos que hay dentro de la narrativa.

    Para la duración del juego creo que dependerá de cada persona, a mi me llevo 70 horas aproximadamente pero esto se debe a que realice todas las misiones secundarias y de igual forma la historia, los secretos y coleccionables son interesante, pero no los logre concretar.

    Finalizo esta breve critica de un aficionando mencionando que es un juego que tiene que ser jugado por todo el mundo, ya que es algo de lo cual no se pueden perder.

    Writing this in 2023 and I’m not so sure a game has been as impressive as RDR2 since that it came out.

    Red Dead Redemption 2: A Triumph in Gaming Excellence

    Rockstar Games has once again delivered a tour de force in the realm of video game entertainment with their release of "Red Dead Redemption 2." This latest instalment in the Red Dead series stands as a testament to the studio's prowess in crafting immersive worlds and compelling narratives, reaffirming their place at the forefront of the gaming industry. In this review, we delve into the intricacies and grandeur of this masterpiece, exploring the remarkable attention to detail, the sprawling open-world environment, the multifaceted characters, and the emotional journey of Arthur Morgan, all of which contribute to elevating this game to a well-deserved 9/10 in our evaluation.

    A World of Astonishing Detail:

    One of the most remarkable aspects of "Red Dead Redemption 2" is the sheer depth of detail infused into every facet of its world. From the bustling streets of Saint-Denis to the tranquil beauty of the Heartlands, every location exudes authenticity and historical accuracy. The flora and fauna that inhabit the landscape feel alive, and the dynamic weather system adds an extra layer of immersion. The meticulous attention to detail extends to the characters, whose expressions and mannerisms reflect the nuances of their personalities and experiences. Players can spend hours simply wandering the world, discovering hidden secrets, and soaking in the breathtaking scenery.

    A Living, Breathing Open World:

    The game's open world is nothing short of a masterpiece in itself. It's a sprawling, living, and breathing entity that reacts to your actions and choices. Whether you're exploring the wilds, engaging in intense gunfights, or embarking on side quests, the world of "Red Dead Redemption 2" remains consistently engaging. It's a place where your choices matter, impacting not only your interactions with other characters but also shaping the overall narrative. The game's commitment to a living world is evident in the way NPCs go about their daily lives, the passage of time, and the evolving events that unfold as the story progresses.

    Multifaceted Characters:

    The characters in "Red Dead Redemption 2" are nothing short of extraordinary. Arthur Morgan, the game's protagonist, undergoes a profound journey of redemption, and his character development is nothing short of a triumph. His moral dilemmas, conflicts, and emotional depth draw players into his world, making you genuinely care about his fate. But Arthur is just one piece of the puzzle; the entire cast is richly developed, each with their own motives and desires. Whether it's Dutch's charismatic yet enigmatic leadership or the colourful assortment of gang members, every character adds depth to the game's narrative and keeps players invested in the unfolding drama.

    An Emotional Rollercoaster:

    At its core, "Red Dead Redemption 2" is a story of redemption and the consequences of one's choices. The emotional journey that players embark upon as Arthur Morgan is nothing short of harrowing and poignant. The game masterfully weaves a tale of loyalty, betrayal, and self-discovery, which leaves a lasting impact on the player. The moral choices presented throughout the game force players to grapple with their own sense of right and wrong, adding a layer of emotional investment that few games can match. It's a testament to the storytelling prowess of Rockstar Games that "Red Dead Redemption 2" can elicit such a range of emotions, from sorrow to triumph.

    Conclusion:

    In conclusion, "Red Dead Redemption 2" is a gaming masterpiece that excels on multiple fronts. Its meticulous attention to detail, sprawling open world, multifaceted characters, and emotionally charged narrative combine to create an experience that stands as a high watermark for the industry. It's a game that not only entertains but also challenges players to reflect on their own choices and moral compass. With its well-deserved 9/10 rating, "Red Dead Redemption 2" stands as a shining example of what can be achieved in the world of video game storytelling and world-building. It's an experience that will linger in the hearts and minds of players long after the credits roll, firmly solidifying its place among the greatest games of all time.

    Las misiones se le pueden hacer repetitivas a más de uno, el juego es largo, y aunque para mi eso no sea un problema, sí es cierto que algunas personas eso les pueda tirar para atrás, por lo demás, increíble
    Un juego faraonico, con millones de detalles, con un realismo i-m-p-r-e-s-i-o-n-a-n-t-e
    y una profundidad que nunca he visto en ningún otro juego.
    Una obra maestra, espero que rockstar mejore el error de las misiones en gta 6 y haya un equilibrio entre gran narrativa y misiones geniales, ya que en el gta 5 invirtieron más en misiones que en historia y en Red Dead Redemption 2 han invertido más en historia que en misiones, espero que sepan encontrar un equilibrio en su próximo gran juego. Obra maestra de los mundos abiertos, el mejor videojuego de la octava generación.

    Don't think twice to buy it, just go for it! It's usually on sale on Steam.
    I would recommend playing it with some sort of guide (IGN is very helpful), just so you can get all the available items in each episode. Just watch out for spoilers!

    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]
