    Good-
    Still an excellent open-world title. Stellar voice-acting, pacing and dialogue make for an incredible narrative. The art direction is incredibly solid, while the soundtrack is one of gaming's best. Lots of fun activities to discover and immerse yourself in. AMD FSR2 allows for sharp image quality.
    Bad- Shooting is still a bit iffy, mainly due to the controls, but it remains    Good-

    Bad-
    Shooting is still a bit iffy, mainly due to the controls, but it remains serviceable. Completely barebones for its price, with scant visual improvements and no further polish or new features. Online content from Game of the Year Edition is absent. UI assets, including the map, are stuck in 720p resolution and don't look great.

    Thoughts-
    Red Dead Redemption is a fantastic game, but this re-release leaves much to be desired. It offers one of the best stories in gaming, not to mention a well-designed open world and incredible music. The overall art direction and production values are great, nostalgia blinders or not, but that’s no excuse for the bare minimum features and improvements, never mind the cut content. Wait for a discount before jumping in.    … Expand

    Okay, I was actually enjoying the remaster, at least parts of it, until game breaking bugs stopped the fun when I had finally unlocked the third map area on PS4Pro.
    The upped resolution, bit better draw distance and much better framerate make this look better than the PS3 and 360 versions. Bit better. And they have gone and fixed some of the blurry textures from the originals.

    Trouble is the bugs, of which there are still a LOT. Visual glitches, and animation glitches. My health bar being stuck at full health thru the whole time, no matter how hurt Marston actually was. Marston being wanted and telegram offices not being available anywhere (and no, this did not flush with reload). And so on.
    Sure, I could beat missions anyways, bugs and all, even tho it did take much more retakes and medicine than in the PS3 and 360 versions, which I have completed many times. But it kept taking away the fun.
    I can only give this 6/10 for being buggy mess. Once they fix the issues, and I really hope they do, it might be worth 8/10.    … Expand

    Objectively, Red Dead Redemption is a true classic. Not only does it conclude the beloved story of both its successor and predecessor, but it does so with equal flourish and narrative quality. [Issue#330]

    Red Dead Redemption as a game is still a fantastic romp that any cowboy or open world fan should experience. Meanwhile, playing it on my PS5 (via backwards compatibility) is a treat, even if it doesn’t change how the game runs or looks. It has one of the best open worlds you can ask for and a compelling story to boot. But, it’s bogged down by its lazy cash-grab nature, with the Rockstar team opting to do away with content and instead do the absolute bare minimum.

    Red Dead Redemption is an unbelievably good game, even in 2023, however the lack of effort put into elevating the game to the current day’s technical benchmarks damages its modern legacy.
