ThePure cinematic bliss. I cant rave about this game enough. Rockstar has yet again proved themselves to be one of the best video game developers in the world. The opening blizzard scene is one of the most graphically stunning set pieces ever and throughtout the game you are treated with incredibly detailed environments that will make you stop and admire more than a handful of times. The gameplay feels a little clunky at first but after a couple hours into the game you will get a hang of the controls and it becomes extremely rewarding, seamlessly blending in a mix of the dive button, sliding into cover, duel weilding revolvers and fantastic execution animations that trigger when youre grappling or close to an enemy. The horse bonding and controls are the best thats ever been seen in a video game...but what truly makes this game stand out are the characters and the gang. Rockstar has created a game rich with compelling and complex characters that go through incredible amounts of character development over the course of the nearly 60+ hour story mode. Micah Bell is the King Geoffrey if videogames, you love to hate him. Suprisingly Arthur Morgan is one of my favorite video game characters ever. right up there with the likes of Joel and Ellie from the last of us and Kratos and Atreus from God of War. Now the story does start very slow and one of the last chapters becomes a very slow and tedious grind but its one i didnt mind because i enjoyed the characters and story so much (some gamers will find it annoying though). Overall this game is without a doubt, one of the greatest video games ever made and rockstar deserves to be applauded for their efforts. Every gamer needs to experience this game. I give it an easy 10/10.… Expand

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a hallmark of gaming with a truly lived in world a amazing story held together by a amazing cast of characters especially the protagonist Arthur Morgan. I won't go into any spoilers in my review, I should also inform you that my performance will vary from some users because I played on a Xbox One X. Lets start with the black sheep the slow opening a very long tutorial and beginning which is surprising to say the least while I did prefer this long opening I also know that some players will be turned off by this so fair warning. Players not used to slow paces and are used to the incredibly fast paced of a game such Grand Theft Auto might not feel entirely at home here. Needless to say though that doesn't change the beauty of this game and the detail in the world and how it builds not just in the world itself but in total with NPC's and the story. The new NPC system in place speaking of is a little barebones at times and can end in some mishaps but works most of the time with that in mind I also need to bring up a hallmark of Rockstar games clunky controls and sometimes bad contextual commands. It doesn't break the game and I am mainly speaking on the horses when I speak on the clunky controls. Moving past the controls is the gunplay it is better that GTA 5's and its predecessor's with a interesting focus mechanic needing to be able to relax yourself to get the most accurate shot. This would make the game more of a challenge if the enemies in the game were more accurate. The final thing I would like to touch on is the story and it is beautiful no other word describes it I won't go into any spoilers but the games story alone makes the 60$ price tag worth it in my opinion. This is the first review I've ever written on metacritic I hope that it helps people in deciding on if this game is for them. In My opinion this is the best game so far this year.… Expand

    This game is most definitely the best console game I have ever played and as a massive fan of the first the fan service is there but it is subtle and you do not need to play the first to enjoy or appreciate the game at all.
    The story, cinematography, optimisation, personality and game play are phenomenal and Rockstar Games have set the bar extremely high for any other AAA games studio.
    My only criticisms of the game are a pretty substantial amount of bugs in some story missions which are very noticeable but they very rarely impact the overall experience, it seems that it is more prominent in the second half of the games story. The other criticism would be that the epilogue portion can feel a wee bit dragged out but not from story building missions, more from some action ones.
    Rockstar Games deserve an Oscar for this game hands down, it is mind boggling that this is the quality it is. In my opinion it surpasses GTA 5 and any prior title. The sheer level of detail and obvious love which has gone into this game speaks volumes about the company and I would like to thank the 100's of people who have worked on this game, it has given me the best experience from a story driven video game of my life and I mainly play choice based RPG's!
    Roger Clark who is the voice actor behind Arthur Morgan is someone who deserves particular recognition as the character he brings to Arthur again, is the best I've seen in a game. I've made a MetaCritic account just because I need to let anyone (of which there are few) people who are on the fence with this game to know, there is something for everyone in this game, you will not regret buying it and the online hasn't even dropped yet! (hoping it won't be drowned in micro-transactions like GTA Online but we all know it will be, prove everyone wrong please Rockstar!)

    But yes, 9.5/10 absolutely amazing and Rockstar deserve every single bit of praise they receive with this game. They have paved the way for the new generation of games and if this is what can be expected from gaming in the future, that future is extremely bright! Well done to every single person that worked on this game and please give Roger Clark some award, any! Sadie Adler is also the wife of my dreams!    … Expand

By that, I don't mean that you should review the game based on your first impressions. If so, then you don't know how to review a game. Period. Second of all, the majority did not know that one can customize their controls based on their play-style: It could include adjustments in sensibility, button mapping, camera angle, first-person mode adjustments, etc. Always go to the settings before starting the actual game and adjust your controls. Experiment what's best, thus, making the game more fluid, and less bad reviews would appear because they actually read this comment. What I'm trying to say is that one has to solve their own issue with the game, or something that it might throw off their desire of continuing playing Red Dead Redemption 2. If it's something that's based on controls, which is what most of the bad reviews were concerned about, then solve it first in-game before criticizing stuff that doesn't make sense. That goes for the people who doesn't know how to actually play a game. It's disappointing seeing the majority like that.

    Now, I'm my opinion, this game has solid graphics, fixed cinematics, enjoyable gameplay and can't wait for the online beta. That's all. Simple.    … Expand

First I have to say that I originally wrote a review for this game and gave it a 9 and mostly complained about nit-picky things; after my second play through of the campaign I read it, was embarrassed by it, and took it down.

    This game is a masterpiece. It tells a beautiful story full of character and emotion that is rarely seen in any entertainment medium. There are moments that are so wonderfully crafted that I daresay even the most cynical of individuals won’t help but become a little emotional. The music is perfect and only present when it needs to be adding poignancy to highlight just the right moments at the just the right time.

    The world feels alive and is absolutely beautiful – I’ve played this game on both the One X and PS4 Pro and it looks fantastic on both. This is a world that truly feels like it is living and breathing and just asking to be explored. There are tons of side activities from side missions, to hunting and fishing, poker, dominos and more. Or you might just find yourself wandering around the world admiring the hard work that went into creating its beauty.

    The cast, the writing and the acting is all some of the best there has ever been. There are a few little systems in the game that sometimes feel like more of a chore than fun, but they are over shadowed by the brilliance of the world and story.

    If you are fan of story driven games this is a must play. Hell, if you are a fan of video games this is a must play. By any objective standard it is brilliantly crafted. Even if you find you aren’t a fan of the subject elements this is not a game that would leave you feeling like you wasted your money. Support this game – games like this need to be supported, they don’t come along very often. It’s just brilliant.

    I have been playing the multiplayer since its “full release”. It is okay but still needs some work. The content feels lacking and there are still plenty of bugs, also the grind is real. I am not sure I will stick with it, but then again multiplayer isn’t my preferred genre – you may love it.    … Expand

    A little too slow
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to 2010s red dead redemption where you play as Arthur Morgan, part of Dutches gang… If you’ve played the first red dead you know things go sour, so Red Dead Redemption 2 sets out to tell that story… Much like the first red dead, red dead redemption 2 sets out to immerse you with not only its environment and    Red Dead Redemption 2
    A little too slow
    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a prequel to 2010s red dead redemption where you play as Arthur Morgan, part of Dutches gang…
    If you’ve played the first red dead you know things go sour, so Red Dead Redemption 2 sets out to tell that story…
    Much like the first red dead, red dead redemption 2 sets out to immerse you with not only its environment and storytelling but its mechanincs as well.. much like a team ico game..
    everything seems tedious, but its on purpose… the game wants you to feel completely in control at all times.. and its one of the things I love most about the red dead series,, you have to manually tap a button to gallop and go faster for example, you have to take care of your horse to increase its stats, it sets out to place you into another world, another time period.. youre essentially living another life away from your own… Red Dead Redemption feels that real…
    This tedium is also this games downfall…
    I loved both red dead redemption and red dead 2… however Red Dead Redemption 2 is nowhere near as enjoyable for me as the first… though they feel like vastly different games…
    Red Dead 2 isnt about exciting events taking place, no cinnmeatic moments, you feel like a member of the gang, contributing, doing jobs and collecting cash to upgrade around camp…
    and everything about this game is mythotical and slow, theres no fast travel in the way modern games have spoiled us with… you have to ride from place to place, take in this games world, run into its inhabitants and predators, thankfully this game is gorgeous at times, but I feel all the hype around how good this game looks is a little out of proportion…
    infact I feel most of red dead redemption 2 is generally overrated…
    but back to being slow… this is red dead 2s greatest asset and greatest flaw…
    for the first 20 out of 60hrs of this games campaign, I loved the slow pace living life as a cowboy… but I felt the story and game just drug on forever.. exciting things rarely happening… never really having fun…
    red dead redemption just isn’t a fun game…
    and that’s okay.. it’s a different kind of experience… again.. back to the point of wanting you to feel like youre living another life, that’s what I felt.. I was immersed into this world…
    but by the games final chapter I was just so bored, so uninterested on how anything turned out other than arthurs story…
    I just wish the campaign was fast and fun like the first games campaign… while everything around it stayed a little slower..
    just everything began to feel pretadictable, too samey… don’t get me wrong there are great moments throughout your 60 hour journey… but so much of it feels like needless padding, and things ive already done a thousand times… making me ultimately feel like the game over stays its welcome with the story…
    everything this campaign set out to achieve couldve been done in under 20 hours easily…
    there was no reason to drag it out other than a selling point of a long campaign that youll probably get too bored to even see through to the end…
    if somehow youre still craving red dead redemption after that 60 hours there is an online mode currently in beta, but I just wasn’t interested in doing more of the same with a silent protagonist with my friends online…. Sure I don’t have friends, but that’s not the point…
    the campaign itself had a hard enough time keeping my interest..
    that said I actually Love Red Read Redemption 2…
    I was just over it before it was over…
    Youll get your moneys worth here… but youll probably end up searching for the ending on youtube.

In fact there are very many negatives, enough to give any other game a much lower score. But what this game does right is so amazing it almost completely negates the negatives, but not quite. Here is what I didn't like:

    1) Controls are very clunky. Clunky controls are to Rockstar games what bugs are to Bethesda games. Every game you hope they improve but they never do

    2) Inventory is very unwieldy. Don't get me wrong I love how they try to make it a bit more realistic by tying some of it to your horse (only for weapons though). But it never seems to remember my preferences of what guns to carry and there is no way to see a list of your inventory. You must cycle through one item at a time and the organization is very poor. Also, it lets you carry way too much for realism. I had an entire store full of items in my satchel most of the time.

    3) Combat difficulty was way too easy. Default auto-aim makes shooting trivial (and turning it off makes horseback shooting nearly impossible so that really isn't an option either). The near infinite supplies of instant-heal tonics/provisions while in battle makes it even more trivial

    4) Money was way too easy to accumulate. Made the "struggling to survive" vibe and dialogue pretty laughable when I had thousands of dollars on me by early mid-game (even after fully upgrading the camp)

    5) No real endgame after you beat the missions. Sure hunting and collecting exists but it would have really benefited from a ranch-building/upgrading mechanic (I think they are planning on adding this in online mode) to give purpose to keep going and earning more money. Despite the amazingness of the world I kind of need a purpose to play on other than creating chaos or goofing around. The money I had at the end was basically infinite so no need to earn more

    6) They don't really let you play an evil character. Sure you can kill innocent randoms but in terms of the missions and story characters you essentially are always this noble good guy. I guess because the SJW's would complain too much if it let you, for instance, not side with the Indians or suffragettes or ex-slaves. It would be refreshing to have the option to side with the army against the Indians for instance. In classic fantasy games you can side with evil factions but, again, the historical context I guess makes it too hard in this SJW world now. Rockstar used to have more balls but even they have cowed to the pressure these days and made being a true jerk impossible

    Problems 2, 3, and 4 above could probably be solved with some kind of hardcore mode, where inventory is limited, money is way tighter, heals are limited, and there is an actual death penalty. But there is no hardcore mode. My guess is they are saving that for online (where they hope to make more money with microtransactions probably).

    But anyway, these are a lot of problems. But I still highly recommend playing this the world is so realistic it kind of boggles the mind, and the story was very well done as well. The struggling bandit vibe was awesome but would have been better if they made money harder to obtain. And the graphics are the best I've ever seen (on XboxOne X)    … Expand

    The gameplay can seem a little slow and methodical at first, but eventually you get into the intentionally lazy pace and it gives you time to appreciate the gorgeous sights around you.

    This is a beautiful game, especially on the Xbox One X. The graphical detail is astounding. If you’re playing on 4K HDR, there are HDR settings in the menu, but they’re not perfect. The lighting is muted in cinematic mode, so set it to gaming mode and you’ll have to push your white levels up pretty high to get a good balance.

    While the game is impressive, it isn’t perfect. It comes pretty damn close though. A year after launch and I have not played it again since my first run through, and I haven’t played the online multiplayer since the day it launched. You’ll have to read another review to find out how that is going now. This is a single player game first. If you enjoyed Red Dead Redemption, I cant imagine you not liking this game.    … Expand

After spending 50 hours taking the game to its melancholy conclusion I can only think back on the tremendous feat Rockstar have accomplished with their latest magnum opus.

    The world feels vast and lived in, the characters well developed and the musical score that envelopes you is subtle, perfect and never overbearing. The gameplay has its quirks, the combat is not quite as fluid as you would sometimes want and you will fall off your horse after slamming into a tree on occasion but this never detracted from the immersion. It is very easy to forgive RDR2's little quirks when the story being told is so perfectly executed and the connection with your character so strong, largely down to a stand out performance from Roger Clark who spent years recording dialogue and motion capture for Arthur.

    If you didn't like RDR1 then I'm afraid this isn't going to change your mind. However, if you're ready to go on one last ride then saddle up and experience one of the most emotionally rewarding games in recent memory. It might not end how you expect......but that's the way it is.    … Expand

And of course the graphics of this Red dead Redemption 2 are so stunning that i'd dare to say that it is at the top of this generation... The game is just gorgeous. However, the game is not perfect. Some secundary missions are dull and some of the tasks you've to do to get the 100% either, in adittion, in despite of the map is huge there is a big part of it empty; with nothing interesting to do. But the worst part of the game it's clearly the online mode... Which has nothing to do with other Rockstar games like Grand Theft Auto.… Expand

    It can be slow at times. Very slow. Even as someone who enjoys dialogue and horse riding and beautiful scenery it gets a little old. There's a reason most games skip travel sequences - because they're often not memorable or meaningful.

Online: although a bit laggy and the occasional glitch occurs it’s always good fun to start a town shoot out or steal a stage coach with your friends, although there’s not as many random encounters in online it still has a little story in it as well, it could be better but then again at the time of this review it’s good for a beta. ascetics: beautiful, just beautiful I have no words except it looks Gorgeous.

Arthur (and therefore, the world) feels like an extension of your body - which is a sensation rarely achieved by a game - and is due in large part to hyper-realistic physics, wonderfully obsessive attention to detail, soundtrack, and the arduously crafted gameplay mechanics. Whether all of this means hunkering down for an all-day play marathon and wrapping yourself in sensory and mental ecstasy, or finding the quickest ways to get from A to B because a horse can only gallop so fast, is up to the individual.
    The story holds a solidly perfect number of main missions that leave nothing untold or shrouded in excess mystery. Side missions, challenges, points of interest, profound and complicated characters, and miles-long checklists add a heap of extra depth to an unfathomably deep game, making it a never-ending legacy and a completionist's dream.
    Emotional attachment to characters could nearly be stated as a warning and disclaimer on the box - in fact, I don't think I've ever felt so many emotions in the course of any one game. This aspect is heightened by the organic mechanics and beautiful, next-generation world design. If you have trouble expressing your emotions, here's a solution: lock yourself up in a room and take a long gander at this game.

Arthur is an amazing character and a much more interesting character than John Marston, his backstory could of been touched more but perhaps that is being saved for another game or expansion. There is enough content in this game to last over 100 hours not including the ever expanding online mode. You can fish, hunt, collect, explore and experience the immersive open world scenery and random encounters. The soundtrack is also incredible and is a perfect match for the game. The gang's characters are all interesting in their own way and give you insights into their lives in random interactions in the camp. On another note, the last few hours of the story are incredible and leave you wanting more, despite playing the game for 50+ hours already which is always something that indicated how good a game is. The only downside I could find is that the movement mechanics feel a bit dated and are similar to Grand Theft Auto V, although the gun mechanics are great.

In the time since the original Red Dead Redemption released (one of my personal favorite games and stories ever made) there have been many phenomenal stories be they The Last of Us, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt or even the more recently released God of War. But I must say not only did Red Dead Redemption 2 live up to these examples, but it blew them out of the way in many regards. From the characters to the world to even your horse, everything is connected to Arthur in ways you wouldn’t expect. While the gun play isn’t top notch, the other aspects of the game more than make up for this fact. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must play for anyone whom values storytelling and character, and it’s a game that will resonate me for as long as I live. And that’s not an exaggeration.… Expand

    Awesome game, imprescindible in our collection. I played the One S version and it looks perfect on a 4K HDR TV. However in One X looks more better, but in One S is perfect with the reescaled 4K.

    To put it as succinctly as possible: Read Dead Redemption 2 is one of the single greatest gaming experiences I've ever played.

    It's visually astounding, it's set a new standard for storytelling and the characters are written to make you really feel strongly about them, one way or another. Arthur Morgan is going to go down as one of the greatest protagonists in video game history.

    A história é muito boa, te prende e te surpreende.
    Os NPcs vivem e interagem de forma natural. Cada encontros aleatório tem uma história diferente. Tudo dele é realista, o mundo o diversificado, pântano, planícies, montanhas , cheio de animais. O tempo muda de forma incrível, o sol, a chuva a neve e noite estrelada. Pra quem gosta de exploração é    Jogo espetacular, beira a perfeição.

The gameplay flows very well, although I was surprised by the new targeting system that takes a short time to fire weapons accurately (probably to balance RDO).

    It is an unfortunate thing that Rockstar one of the most prolific game developers that bring us such amazing experiences give little love to the pc community.

They used to make wacky goofy games and one offs that pushed the envelope in different directions and took risks but Take 2 is a disease riddle with corporate money addicted micro transaction loving soulless garbage. I love Red Dead and put hundreds of hours into it and more on the remaster before Red Dead 2 but this is unacceptable. Why is it that the pc is an after thought that developers just throw crap at a wall and hope it sticks? The pc is what gave Rockstar it's billions of dollars from online and mod communities yet they give so little of a f$#% that it hurts their well earned reputation. Red Dead 2 is an amazing well built story with compelling characters and story beats that keep you committed and engaged throughout it's lengthy campaign. This is one of the most engrossing and beautiful experiences I have had on my Xbox one X but the pc version is a hot garbage fire that is unacceptable. You are made by your customers and destroyed by the same people who once held you in such high esteem. The years of love and childhood fond memories can only last so long before you start to get torn out of the past by just how greedy and disrespectful these devs have treated this community. There is noaccident that CDProject Red is held so high as the gold standard of how to treat your community and give them what you want yourself from a game. Once you put money above fun, exciting stories and strip single player dlc out for some boring "community" mods and games as a service nonsense you deserve everything said about you and seeing so many who loved you starting to leave. You make games for the love and enjoyment it gives you and everyone who interacts with it's world. People give their time, attention, and hard earned dollars for a product when there are so many games that they do not have to support or give you that valuable commodity. Step back and really think about how this affects your company and make a decision money or enjoyable enthralling stories that change the industry because you are almost a shell of the once great Rockstar.… Expand

Most people criticize the game for being too slow, but this isn't GTA. It's not meant to be a fast paced shooter; it's meant to be a game where you take in the beauty, interact with the NPCs, and just enjoy the world. Mission design is also a thing people like to criticize for being linear, but they don't understand that they're meant to be linear.

    It doesn’t matter if you are gamer, a human being, or an alien from another planet; Red Dead Redemption 2 is a title that you just can’t miss. The bar set by RDR2 is so high that even Rockstar itself will probably have a hard time raising it. One of the best releases in the history of digital entertainment.

    While it has some notable but minor flaws, it's hard to argue that Red Dead Redemption 2 is not a masterpiece. The end result of the meticulous detail, wonderful writing and stunning looks is an open world that sets a new bar for believability, and a time and place I can't stop thinking about or wanting to be a part of.
