    Solid port, but definitely overpriced. This should have been thirty dollars at the most. This is a port of a thirteen year old game, so I agree that fifty dollars is too much. I never played this game before this version came out, but I am enjoying it so far. Even if it is overpriced, it’s still a great game, even if some parts of it feel a bit dated.

The game looks fine on Switch and runs well, so this is a perfectly fine way to play one of the greatest games of the seventh generation, but I’d recommend waiting for it to go on sale. At least it works right unlike whatever the GTA Trilogy was doing.… Expand

    Best game ever!. I played it when I came out and have played the story at least 10 since 2010! The world building and characters that bring it to life are unlike any other game, besides its sequel of course.

    I see a lot of people who are claiming that RockStar 'listens to your wallet' and prompting people not to buy this game because they're disappointed that a remaster was not released.

Don't listen to a bunch of people on the internet who can't seem to form an opinion of their own without reading and regurgitating some angry kid on Twitter/X's opinion first. If you haven't had a chance to play the game, or you want the game on a system that isn't rendering in 640p and possibly either buried in a garage or in your kid's room somewhere, don't hesitate. This is an incredibly solid port, and despite what others may think, it does take work to port a thirteen year old game to modern systems. It isn't lazy, it isn't bad, these people are simply miffed that they didn't get Red Dead Redemption 2: The Marston Years. It is a little disappointing that it runs at 30fps on PS4 Pro and PS5, but it's still solid for what it is. The price may seem a little daunting, and I agree, BUT these guys screaming that the Xbox version is cheaper are full of it. This version includes all of the DLC, which on Xbox is roughly $13 plus $29.99 for the base game. That brings the total to $42.99 plus tax. You're saving a whooping $7.01. I would say that genuinely isn't that big of a deal. Use reason people, make up your own minds, and don't let some angry dorks influence your decision. Do the research and trust your gut, buy it on sale if you don't want to pay the $50, because it WILL be on sale at some point. Also, RockStar and their Publishers will not 'listen to your wallet'. The problem with that logic is twofold. For one, there is going to be a whole lot of people that don't have an Xbox and have either never played the game or just don't want to drag out the old PS3 (or in some cases purchase a PS3) to play their old copy of the game. These people are going to buy and play the game, and they are not in the vocal minority complaining online because they're too busy enjoying the game. There are also people that are either Nintendo nuts that have never had a chance to play, or just want the game in portable format that are going to snatch up the Switch version in droves (I bought it day one for my Switch because I don't get a whole lot of chances to sit down in front of a TV to game, and I also bought the PS4 version because my son wants to play the game.) The second major reason that the 'wallet vote' thing is crap is because Rockstar is huge. They won't take a major hit on this one. This is doubly true when you factor in all of the people I've previously mentioned that are buying the game, alongside the fact that GTA VI will likely be out within two years and will recoup any potential losses that may (or most likely may not) occur with this port. Your collective $50 a piece is not going to hurt a multi-billion dollar company. I've noticed that a lot of the reviews here on the Switch version are from people who have not purchased the game, and I sincerely hope that Metacritic takes the time to fill out this annoying review-bomb-toddler-hissy-fit-bull-crap.

    Anyhow, I know I spoke little on the game itself. It really is a great port. I haven't had any issues, and it's wonderful to finally get to play this again without having to throw down $300-$500 for an Xbox. It's especially a pleasure to enjoy this game on the go, I'm absolutely loving the ability to pick up and play where I can, as I genuinely wouldn't get to play this awesome game otherwise.    … Expand

    The frustration and criticism of Rockstar is completely valid. Still, this is actually a really good port. It's too bad they didn't add multiplayer, but that's never what this game was about. The game itself is nearly a masterpiece and has aged very well. The price is a bit high, but I'm sure some work went into porting the game from PS3 to Switch and it is a good port.

    Good port for a great game. Price point is high , but it is what it is. Runs good, some minor visual glitches but nothing game breaking. $25 - $30 would have been the ideal price, but since this is the only way to play it on modern consoles I can't complain too much. So, if you're a RDR fan , buy it.

    Of course, all the incels are running to rate this game 0/10 because they expected a remake that Rockstar never promised in the first place.

    Is the price a touch steep? Sure.

    But for Switch owners in particular, this is a great way to play one of the greatest video games of all time on the go.

    Отличный порт. Удивляет как плавно игра работает на Switch, за всё время моей игры (10 часов) я не обнаружил фризов. Единственный баг, который я встретил- задвоилось объявление о поимке преступника. Единственный минус- это цена в 50$.

    Coming from someone who has never played RDR, but loves RDR2, my main concern would be will this game be immersive enough.

    The answer is yes. The game features alot of the core mechanics like lassoing & hog tying, bullet time, hunting and skinning, random incounters etc, etc. I'd say the main mechanic missing is being able to interact with every NPC.

    Obviously the graphics on RDR2 are incredible, but RDR still holds up very well to today's standards. The voice acting and story is brilliant and on par with its successor.

    It's a port, a good port on both consoles that exactly resembles the original changing the resolution on ps4 and switch 1080p (improved on ps4 pro and ps5, 4k), shadow improvements and less blur, with some new subtitle languages ​​plus the dlc (one of the best dlc ever).

    Remember that in the case of playstation it could be free if the console was backwards compatible, sony's fault.

    The original game is a masterpiece and even with a few additions this version still is. And even with the years that have passed and taking that into account, it seems to me a much better game than current games.    … Expand

    With its atmosphere, brilliantly written characters, action-packed missions skillfully set in the open world, and multitude of side activities, Red Dead Redemption can still rival games released years (and console generations) later. I recommend it even to those who don’t much care for the Wild West setting.

    If you want to experience Red Dead Redemption, I can recommend the Nintendo Switch version of the game. Although I think its price is high compared to the improvements it offers and a price like $30 would be more affordable, it will not make you regret playing it with its portable gaming experience and problem-free port. If you want to play in front of the TV with better graphics, you can play the game on Xbox with higher resolution and smoother performance, and at a much cheaper price, thanks to backward compatibility.
