    $50 for a 13 years old game.
    And it's not even a remake or a remaster.
    Rockstar is well on its way to becoming the new EA.

    Zero improvements over the original, all multiplayer content have been completely removed, and the price is the same as it was over a decade ago. I mean, it's not Rockstar's all-time low *cough cough* gta trilogy remaster *cough cough*, but it's still utterly pathetic how greedy and lazy this port is.

    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

    I was waiting for a remaster of this wonderful game on PC and modern consoles, and not "this" on some kind of switch and a backward PS4.

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.

    This remaster is no different from the original game.

    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.

    Bad-
    The game has literally been ported as is with few to no enhancements; multiplayer mode has been cut out; controls, mission design, and combat have aged poorly.

    Thoughts-
    I think, on a broader level, it is fair to expect Rockstar to do more, and to wish that a game as important and beloved as Red Dead Redemption was being treated better. But taking this release for what it is – a straight port of a beloved classic to the Switch – it holds up well, and is worth revisiting, worth recommending. If you have never played Red Dead Redemption before, or the idea of revisiting it on a portable appeals to you? This port comes hugely recommended. But if you were hoping for a more robust re-release, sadly, this isn’t that. It’s hard to tell if Rockstar will ever put in the time and money needed to do justice to a Red Dead re-release. But even if they don’t, at least we now have the original classic playable on all modern consoles.    … 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.
