    Bought a game on the new Xbox. The graphics are good. But character models are not modern.
    Gameplay is horrible. I played for almost 10 hours. I feel like that was a waste of my precious time.
    I refunded the game immediately. Normally I don't do that. If I was bored I close the game and continue later. But in this one, I didn't feel like I accomplished something good. This is not a game.    Bought a game on the new Xbox. The graphics are good. But character models are not modern.

    This is a horse riding and cinematic simulation game. There is a lot of mechanics and details. A lot of details. but they are not suitable for games. Not fun. I am not having fun.
    I have experience playing games for 20 years. I played many titles. But I will skip this one.
    Because for me it is unplayable. lacking fun.

    It is a good game. But this is not the best game all the time. Not even close to it. Especially it is so far from it.

    With all those fancy graphics, cinematics, mechanics..... this is not a good game.    … Expand

    I've never seen anything like this game. previously, the best game ever made, in my opinion, was The Withcer 3. But now, Red Dead Redemption 2 has taken this podium.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Esse jogo é uma obra-prima, o melhor que ja joguei, não tenho nada para reclamar.

    O ritmo apesar de lento, é natural e eu gosto disso, a trilha sonora desse jogo é marcante e muito bem feita, o mapa é cheio de detalhes e lugares bem construídos, a narrativa é perfeita, os npc's são "extremamente humanos"(realistas com um), a gameplay do jogo é o atual padrão da Rockstar, e eu acho legal, a história é muito longa, mas quando você joga até o final, gostaria de mais coisas, é uma obra pra ficar marcada na história dos vídeos games, lembrando que esse jogo estava sendo produzido desde 2010, juntando isso com a qualidade que a Rockstar tinha na equipe técnica(que acabou se desmanchando de 2014 até 2020 com saídas de membros importantes) só podia ser ótimo, o projeto mais ambicioso da empresa.

    O único ponto que podia ser melhor, é o modelo do John Marston quando você controla ele, ele tem a mesma modelagem do Arthur Morgan, sem motivo nenhum, os cortes de cabelos são o mesmo,(isso é estranho, já que ele é descrito por ter um cabelo feio e mal cuidado, e no epílogo fica um cabelo sedoso e mais bonito como do Arthur), o físico e altura dele são o mesmo também. Vejo reclamarem da personalidade dele durante um epílogo por ele ter ficado mais "bobinho e apaixonado", mas eu não acho que isso seja problema, já que ele ficou com cerca de uns 10 anos de paz desde os acontecimentos da gangue em 1899, então é natural que qualquer um fique mais tranquilo, até porquê os foras da lei estavam sendo punidos, e acabando com esse mundo sem regras.

    Mas enfim esse é o único ponto, que pode incomodar, mas agora quanto a tudo o resto, é muito bem trabalhado, Arthur Morgan é um personagem extremamente bem feito, não há palavras para descrever o que se passa controlando um personagem tão complexo, humano e realista. São momentos tristes, felizes, engraçados, tensos, etc, e você sente tudo, se indentifica com o momento do personagem, não há mesmo como descrever como tal coisa é perfeita, momentos que você controla, e também que são contados pelo Arthur te deixam sentido com a situação, seja no sentido bom ou ruim; quando ele foi diagnosticado com tuberculose, quando ele não conseguiu "recuperar" o casamento com a Mary, quando ele contou sobre a morte da sua esposa e seu filho, a morte de seus pais, a vida sofrida dele, entrando nesse mundo de foras da lei desde jovem, a parte boa, de como ele foi familiarizando com a gangue e principalmente com Dutch e John, que são como um pai e um irmão para ele, e muito mais que isso, como o próprio Dutch diz. Os momentos de sucessos que a gangue tem e você vivência, é muitas coisas impactantes que você sente. Arthur é um homem muito honrado e honesto, um personagem muito bem feito, e para mim o melhor que a Rockstar já fez disparado, o meu favorito no mundos dos jogos em geral, tem tantos "arcos" nesse personagem, e eu gostaria de exaltar os de aceitação e redenção.

    Agora, os outros personagens da gangues são bem trabalhados, cada um tem seu background e um passado, todos tem personalidades únicas e um forte carisma, ame ou odeie cada personagem, inegavelmente todos são muito bem feitos. Eles fazem ações, reações, comentendo falhas e acertos, discussões, conversas, tudo de forma natural e realista.

    Realismo que eu tanto citei e vou citar, é uma coisa que não pode ser cobrada, pois o jogo abusa e faz muito bem. Impressionante o nível de detalhes, gráficos, ligados a anotomia dos humanos e dos animais apresentados, como eles se comportam no ambiente e situação que estão, claramente estudaram muito para fazer o mais perfeito possível, as interações com o mundo desse jogo são bem grandes e cheias de escolhas, o sistema de honra é bem excecutado, a polícia é rígida e é mais inteligente em que qualquer outro jogo da Rockstar, se você faz uma pertubação pública, agressão, sequestro, npc's vão suspeitar e te denunciar, e me fascina como isso é tão real e...bem feito, se você ajudar ou atrapalhar um personagem, e ver as consequências é muito incrível os resultados, e bem inesperados em várias ocasiões.

    Sobre a gameplay, como eu disse, usa parte do padrão atual da Rockstar e eu gosto. As mecânicas são bem variadas em relação ao GTA V, há minigames divertidos para passar o tempo, você pode usar primeira e terceira pessoa, ajustando e ajudando para quem tem certo gosto/preferência, os olhos da morte é muito bom, a variação de armas e costumização são enormes. os cavalos são... Adivinha, realista. Você simpatiza e tenta cuidar com a sua vida, andar neles, poder regular velocidade, apostar corridas, tudo bem divertido. Nota 10. Queria até me aprofundar mais, porém estou sem espaço.    … Expand

I'm now saying they're bad but it shouldn't be the thing people care about first thing when they want to play a game. this game is really just the same boring R* feeling game with having no difference with RDR 1
    everyone just talks about details and stuff that don't matter.
    also, R* just loves to make a "good" character and then kill them off. like wtf, both Arthur Morgan and John Marston are **** dead wtf is wrong with R*
    they just want people to suffer from their **** games

    This is my favourite story-based game I've ever played. It's gut-wrenching, raw, exciting, eerie, and an incredible study of characters.
    It's based around my favourite trope of anything ever; a gang of misfits and outlaws, bounded together by what they seek despite little keeping else them together. Then, even better, the gang's dissolution.
    I can't describe what a genius work if    This is my favourite story-based game I've ever played. It's gut-wrenching, raw, exciting, eerie, and an incredible study of characters.
    It's based around my favourite trope of anything ever; a gang of misfits and outlaws, bounded together by what they seek despite little keeping else them together. Then, even better, the gang's dissolution.
    I can't describe what a genius work if storytelling this game is. The gang, their friendships and relationships, the sense of how much the gang means to Arthur and how much HE means to THEM. The way Dutch and Hosea are the father figures Arthur never had, giving it this whole dimension of it being a dysfunctional, brilliant family.
    Watching the sotyr unfold, watching the gang go from green fields of sunshine to dark, brooding moors, watching them go from hopeful redemption after they fled for their lives and descending further and further into bloodlust and greed for money at absolutely any cost, losing loved ones, losing their minds and their senses.
    Arthur is the perfect protagonist. He watches his gang, his family, fall apart, and he is the young mind who follows because it's what he knows. He sees Dutch get manipulated until his mind warps into something else. He watches his gang fall apart as he loses friend after friend, father after father.
    Arthur is heartfelt, brilliant, funny, caring, and above all, good. He is a joy to play as, during the story or the exploration of his world around him.
    This is one of few games to make me cry.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The appeal of rockstar games' gameplay just misses me completely. These games are story driven and built so children with limited capacity will still be able to complete them.
    Every rockstar game feels the same. Like I'm watching a crappy movie but holding a controller, and the movie frequently pauses requiring me to hit the "I'm still playing button".
    The worst part is I got very excited for a western game. Only to realize it's just GTA set in the wild west. Same terrible gameplay. Thank you for those that told me to turn auto aim off, it allllllmost felt like I was playing and the game wasn't just playing itself. Even still, miserable I stuck with this as long as I did. Whenever I tried to stop I kept getting told, don't worry, it gets better.

The hunting mechanics (not touched by reviewers in the slightest, but more so by completionists) are completely luck-based and the '10 out of 10' scores likely come from people with only 1 or 2 playthroughs (I myself, as some reinforcement of credentials, have 603 hours as of writing this review, and 100% completion). Despite it's seriously gripping, and no doubt 10/10 story, rockstar games clearly new that the reviewers, IGN for example, and people that actually matter within the community of gaming, would do the bare minimum and only play through the story once and assemble an effortless review, as was done time and time again with the most dry and overrated game of the century, GTA V, focusing too much on satire and exaggeration of characters, instead of an actually gripping story, which yet still received a 96 on this platform itself. Going for 100% completion a second time, hunting, in vain, I realised that I should review this game for what it is: a game focused only on story and realism, instead of letting people who actually commit to the game enjoy it. 4/10 gameplay, 10/10 everything else, so like a 5 out of 10 overall considering that gameplay is actually more important than whatever the hell rockstar likes to focus on.… Expand

    Ok wow red dead redemption 2 what can i say about this game that wasn't said i guess ill do a pros cons review because i can rant about this game for hours on end
    this game is just wow its so beautiful and detailed i could just spend hours just looking at it i played like 90 hours and i still got plenty stuff to do so ill start with the pros because i got a lot of em
    PROS:
    - ill mention it again because i'm just shocked about the attention to detail just wow from the famous horse balls shrinking to the little things such as hair growing and dead animals decomposing

    - this one is kinda connected to the previous pro but the graphics are just wow and that's on console i cant even imagine what would it look like on pc

    -the feel when you fire a weapon is so awesome especially from first person wow you can actually see and hear the weapon hitting and firing

    -the realism is so awesome i loved the fact that they made this game so realistic it adds some difficulty to it for example you cant fast pick up and loot you gotta wait for the animation like in real life which i really liked made me get even more immersed in the game

    -the npc's are smarter and you can talk with basically everyone

    -the map is huge like really really huge and you can spend most of your time riding and wondering the wilds

    -the wild life feels so authentic and real i can actually see deer minding their own business and basically living their own life also you can see predators hunt and eat which is pretty cool

    -the character development is just wow i got really attached to Artur Duch John and the rest of the gang and if something would happen i got really sad about it

    -the story is just wow the start was slow but it continues to get better and better

    - a lot of people try to rush this game and then fail and cry about it and don't understand the fact that this game is needed to take slowly you have to breath everything and play as if you are in the game yourself only then you will really enjoy the game

    -the music oh my god the music is so beautiful and doesn't feel out of place it really sets you in that wild west time

    -there is a lot of side missions and you can do them by travelling the world and meeting a lot of different strangers also a lot of mini games such as poker the hand knife game fishing domino and plenty more also you can hunt legendary fish and wild life and sell it for some money and craft some clothes out of their skin
    there is also a full fledged Theatre

    -the hair growing mechanic when you can trim it you can customize weapons and there are a lot of clothes you can buy and customize Artur with

    CONS:

    -bounty system is really broken you cant defend your self without being wanted for assault and you cant even explain your self to the law

    -lack of fast travel i mean there is one that you unlock but its basically a one way ticket i wish they could give you something at the end of the game but i guess not

    - there are a lot of bugs and crashes in my playthrough i had one crash in an important time of the story and just to much bugs

    -the starting mission is painfully long and slow like i know its basically a tutorial but its so slow i really wanted to die the first few hours

    all this brings me to the final score of the game i wished i could have given this game a 10 but it falls short on somethings but i cant give it anything lower then a 9 because its such a legendary triple A game so my final score to Read Dead Redemption 2 is a 9/10 its a must buy game and in my opinion the game of the year yes it has some cons but its so good you can easily forget about them    … Expand

    The game is amazingly boring. You move at a pace that is roughly 7/10s the speed of a normal human in all situations except for the 1 second gunfights where you apparently take all that stored speed and stop time to kill 9 people in a fraction of a second. The entire game is basically following someone on a horse at walking speed while they tell you stories you probably aren't going to listen to

    Great game that lives up to hype. Most negative scores are butthurt PC fanboys crying it's not out yet on PC. And of course bunch of Russian kids who don't understand that you can make money, tons of money on consoles and PC release in most of Asia is suicide since very few people actually buy the game, most pirate it. NO! You are going to play it free, not yet, don't cry kids.

You constantly trip over rocks, crash onto trees and things dont really feel right with them horses running on the map. Especially when you have to ride them for 10-20 minutes to almost every mission pointed destination, which leads to the second biggest issues of this mediocre game. In what way it makes sense to you that fast travels are only located in towns and camps while most of the time you're nowhere near them? And why would it be fun that almost every time you go to a mission it literally takes a more than 10 minutes ride while the horse controls are so terrible that you crash and fall over every possible objects in the way. Cant take off your goddamn mind for a second with the horse things. Extremely annoying. Last but not least, the gunplay and mission freedom are so outdated and limited. If you played other open world games in 2018 or even 2017, you know what i'm saying. I dislike GTAV and i thought this would be different but what a lesson have i learned. Same terrible gunplay and limited mission freedom. You must do EXACTLY whatever the missions tell you or it fails, accurately(i wish the horses have that accuracy so it wouldnt be that pain of an arse).

    However, I must be fair, there's one thing i particularly like about this game - hunting. The hunting feels very good and i think its the only thing that makes me less angry with the game. Story is OKAY. Graphics are impressive but a good game is never about graphics.

    Totally not recommended. If you're on the fense, i suggest you wait for sale, get it at around $20.    … Expand

    Ignore the troll 'PC master race' negative reviews, this is an amazing experience in interactive story telling. Evocative characters, a living breathing world and engaging story (even if all who played RDR know the outcome). Yes, the controls are a little ropy at times and shooting a little stiff, but this is open world gaming at its finest.

    There are the fanboys, the haters, then there is everything in between...

    I enjoyed this. It was pretty, there were side tasks to keep you occupied, but I also spent a great deal of time shouting at the thing. The controls - dear lord, the controls - are clumsy at best, a liability at worst. If you're playing this, save while in open roam (you can't do this in missions, obviously),    There are the fanboys, the haters, then there is everything in between...

The controls - dear lord, the controls - are clumsy at best, a liability at worst. If you're playing this, save while in open roam (you can't do this in missions, obviously), because you *will* a.) pull a weapon on someone accidentally b.) die due to some janky control mess-up, c.) bump into several people at once and get into a fight, which will escalate out of control pretty quickly.

    I've been lucky not to have the "punch my own horse" issue that others have with the dicey controls (although I've accidentally pulled my gun on a few shopkeepers), but I've been *very* careful. The horses are so well rendered that I'd be horrified at doing so. Seriously, I think I spent most of the first hour or two of free wandering just hanging out with my horse and trying to make it happy. Probably the best part of the game, really. Just being a cowboy, hanging out with your horse.

    But boy, is the control issue annoying. It is, unfortunately, something that is unavoidable in lowering the score.

    The plot, without spoiling anything, is reasonable, but the writing didn't grab me. A great deal of the voice acting, too. I'd put the writing on a par with GTA V, as in "not brilliant, but will keep Hollywood fans amused."

    I haven't played online, because GTA:O in the end just put me off Rockstar's ethic when it comes to online games now.

    Look. I enjoyed it. I played it through. I'm still messing about with it now. Will it have longevity? I don't know. It's big, but the clanky controls are a real problem. DLC would help, but the refusal to put such in GTA V suggests to me that Rockstar will rather pump everything into online if they think it'll make them even richer (will there be a Cowboy Card? Who knows?), but I'm hearing that basic items are ludicrously expensive in the online game, so I can be forgiven for being a bit cynical on that score.

    It is a visual masterpiece (the weather effects are truly stunning, I like the hair and beard growing idea, like Witcher 3 had, I find games are getting better and better at reproducing nature since the early days of videogames - I'm an old guy, so I remember when 8-bit was the height of graphics technology) and while all of this is beautiful, and I quite like just meandering about, I just wish more time that was put into, say morphing horse testicle technology (nope, not a joke, your big fellers spuds will shrink in the cold) was put into writing, characterisation, and making the controls smoother.

    But this old cowboy is rambling a bit. It's fun. Many people clearly enjoy it and are prepared to overlook its faults for its strengths.

    You know what? I'd play it just for the horses. They're worth the price of admission alone.

    TL;DR:

    - Good plot, could have done with better writing though.
    - Very pretty. One of the prettiest games I've seen on a console.
    - The nature effects are magnificent.
    - The controls are at times frustrating and the general interface can be an issue.
    - There are bugs, according to others, but I've yet to encounter many.
    - Some of the voice acting is a little corny.
    - Some of the characterisation is a bit hamfisted.

The gunfights happen frequently and they all feel exactly the same. There's no progression in the mechanics and the enemies never change. The story mode gives you plenty of money so there's no real reason to do the side quests, plus there's really nothing worth buying anyway. I wish I had never bought multiple guns because all they do is take up inventory slots and make switching between them a chore.

    It's hard for me to give the game a bad score because it's such an impressive open world- but really it wasn't much fun and my 60 hours would have been better spent doing something productive.    … Expand

    What I have not read is how badly this game suffers with a lack of any kind of motivation system or character development. You are given everything you need from the beginning and do not develop after this point. All the weapons are essentially the same and the upgrades are extremely limited. There is little to no point in doing anything. No point in doing any of the side activities as there are no decent rewards that make the game any more enjoyable. Where are the special weapons? Perks? Infinite ammo? Enhanced abilities? Anything at all besides slightly increased cores which are meaningless seeing as you have a thousand healing items on you at all times anyway. Besides advancing the story there is no reason to invest time into this game, it simply disappears down a black hole. When you can have the exact same experience with a game that you can have watching it on YouTube, you know something is very wrong.

    Another personal gripe is the lack of enemy variety. It's only ever guys with guns and a couple of wild animals. I get that it is wild west realism but there is no requirement to approach any situation differently. All shootouts always play out in the same way (and the shooting is horrible). Where are the heavy guys or wagons with Gatling guns or steam powered giant spiders? It's all just so tedious and uninspired.

    Other people have already written about the multitude of things wrong with this game better than I ever could so I will conclude with this: RDR2 is the gaming equivalent of apple Hubba bubba. Great for that first fleeting hit and very quickly dull and disappointing. The praise this game has received is nothing short of baffling and a sad indication of the wider population's inability to think independently or critically.    … Expand

After watching about 15 minutes of cut scenes with game play sprinkled in between, if you can call it that, I have someone shouting orders at me over and over to hitch my horse on the post. Did anyone think maybe the player isn't interested in hitching his horse on the post in a VIDEO GAME. Anyway now we sit and watch for a bit more and then there's a gun fight. With possibly the worst control scheme I have ever experienced I manage to wield my gun and take out some people who I have no idea why we are killing and then we explore the house they were living in. We find out they killed some guy and I go to check out the barn and then some guy jumps on me and after an extremely drawn out fight I have to interrogate him by choosing whether to talk to or hit him.

    Now all of that done with, some more cut-scenes and now we are free to do as we please. Wild west here come. Or so I think. That however won't be the case because there's missions to be done. In fact it would seem the game is primarily about doing missions. So we start the next mission. Now we are walking/riding at nought miles an hour trying to shoot a bow while our character cant keep the bow still to save his life. Oh and then the aim-assist kicks in when the target starts moving. Which is it going to be noodle arms or auto aim? Keep in mind this isn't while it's drawn back just holding it he can't keep it still. He seems to be able to hold the gun still just fine. So now I've killed the deer with no help from the wildly inconsistent controls and now I have to wait for my horse to return while I hold the deer on my shoulder. Wouldn't you just wait until your horse returned and then pick it up? What's the point in making an open-world game where you utterly on rails and the game play is utterly laborious? Do Rockstar only play their own games so they've never heard of a thing called an RPG? Don't they realise players aren't horses and don't need to be led by a rope to their hitching post? The environments and graphics are good but what's the point if you can't actually explore them of your own volition. This is too much like GTA with cowboys instead of the open world exploration game it should be with actual freedom.

More often than not, also, it seemed to me more like a MMO game than a single placer AAA game, the thing is massive and almost every chapter feels like a AAA game on itself. Everything in this game begs to be praised, the writing (which is magnificent), the music, the animation, sound, even the Graphic design of labels of food, billboards is Amazing. I’m not sure if I’m a big fan of westerns but I sure like a lot of them, and similar to the last entry, this game has a lot of references, even tho in my opinión it seemed to me that they took a lot of inspiration from Tarantino’s D’jango Unchained and Hateful Eight in a very good way.

    There’s a lot of things and themes they managed to discuss here, current themes that can easily be applied in the game’s exaggerated and romanticized World and they did it great. As for its main character, I fell in love with Arthur from start, it has the perfect balance of cold killer and sweet guy, and as outrageous that sounds it Works flawlessly, Arthur is now easily one of my top 5 characters in gaming.

    Not everything in this game is perfect, there are some minor technical issues that can be sometimes frustrating but never a big deal, also there's a lot of "walking" both at feet and on horse so if that's a problem to you, maybe you can skip this game, but it also encourages you to explore and find new things at every corner, similar to Breath of the Wild.

    I think that this game is not for everyone, I think I can compare to a Nolan movie, sure is a blockbuster Hollywood movie but is well done and has a lot to say that can separate itself from the rest. I love how the characters made me feel angry, happy and sad, and those moments where I totally transformed into a gunslinger will stay with me for the years to come.    … Expand

    I have not dived into a game this hard in quite a while. Personally, I adore it, slight flaws and all. The gameplay is immersive (after tweaking a few controls), the characters are dynamic and interesting, the story takes interesting turns, and the endgame sequence is brilliant.

My favorite part about it though - just like GTAV - is how the world just feels ALIVE. The NPCs are unpredictable, varied, and react to you in numerous ways. The huge map is littered with loot, animals, secrets, random events, sequences, and quests to keep you busy. Things are constantly happening, and curiosity is often well rewarded. Players are still finding new and unknown things! My only complaint is that the bounty/wanted system is a bit janky, but it did not detract from the overall experience for me. I greatly look forward to the multiplayer and/or PC release.… Expand

    After playing rdr 1 as a kid I've never thought that another game could reach its level not even a sequel of it..but I was wrong this piece of beauty is better than any Western movie, book or videogame it almost has everything maybe the mechanics are a bit edgy but this would be gripe on the highest level

    No game gives you quite the same IGP as RDR2. It almost feels like you are there. I finished the main story in approx 70 hrs, so the game gives you a lot of play-time for your money. I would recomend trying not to go from one mission to another non-stop. Try to go hunting, fishing, rob somebody or race a stranger on a horse. I was way too focused on the main story.

As someone that has 100+ hours and 100% completion. I would recommend this for game of the decade. I mean, i made a meta critic account just to post this review.

    Great game, thank you Rockstar! Amazing characters, plot. The best game I've ever played. It is a pity that not all ways to evaluate this brilliant work. People in 2018 love to play fortnite where you don’t need to think and empathize...

    Great: Story, World, UI. I've read some negative reviews about the pacing, but that was not my experience. Found the story and characters to be some of the best in a video game, and Arthur Morgan is without a doubt a great protagonist. The UI allows for easy and quick switching of weapons and equipment.

The world feels alive and is of course nice to look at. There's a lot to do, but it is still fun and beatable without being a completionist.

    Good: Controls. I've also read some negative reviews about the controls. If you don't like auto aim, it is possible to turn it off. However, it makes the fights faster paced and feel more like legitimate shoot outs. Take cover shoot, take cover, shoot. Horse controls were pretty good, but a few times my horse seemed to trip over something that wasn't there. Also, never have your horse follow a moving train, it will inevitably run in front of it at some point.

    Bad: The wanted system needs lots of work and is the main reason I don't think it deserves over a 9. It can seem random sometimes whether someone is able to identify you, even with a mask and different outfit. Robbing a train is almost impossible. Even if you leave no witnesses and are in the middle of nowhere, the law somehow manages to show up. Also, NPCs will on occasion start fights with you, even if you weren't being aggressive. Fighting back results in getting a bounty, which seems a bit odd when you are defending yourself.    … Expand

    This game is shockingly boring for long stretches. It's not just the time spent riding from one place to another that's boring, most missions are a grind that are barley padded by hack-y dialogue as well. The shooting mechanics are impressively clunky as well. Unless you have endless time to waste in order to be genuinely entertained 5% of the time, you should save your time

    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]
