    Im only 11 hours in and im stunned. Everything is so detailed and gorgeous. Even just riding on your horse is interesting and fun. It is far from boring. So much to do everywhere. This might change once i complete the game but im already addicted. Love this game

    The biggest problem with this game is that we won't have another one like that until at least 10 years.

    Because there is only one studio in the world capable of giving 7 years of its time and ressources to create such a perfect work of art. And this studio will first release a new GTA in 2 or 3 years. And then they'll be able to offer us a more mature project like RDR2. The game

    The game looks absolutely gorgeous on Xbox One X.
    The animations in this litteraly made me want to chop woods, drink coffee, ride horses, hunt etc etc...

    Rockstar seems to be picking the best from every studio has to offer, you can see some of Ubisoft work, Kojima's work and many more and it's like they're giving a masterclass. They're saying through the game : "Hey students, look at how you should do things".

    How many games, in every day and age, can offer you a Solo story of a 100 hours ?
    CD Projekt said they wanted to do Something like RDR2, well I really like CDPR and it's great that they want to learn from the best because we absolutely need more projects like that.

    An exceptionally organic game. 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 wrappingAn exceptionally organic game. 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.

    Richly gorgeous, mesmerizing, thought-provoking, and utterly alive, Red Dead Redemption 2 is fast becoming a beloved trophy for many gamers, and has already staked out its claim on the collective heart of the gaming industry.

This game is absolutely amazing, so I'm having trouble understanding peoples complaints about the game being "slow". This must be the Fortnite crowd. The game isn't made to be rushed through, and strives to feel like an actual world. The amount of word that went in to each individual animation is astounding. There must be thousands of them for thousands of different situations.

    The story is incredible, and is setup so that you can play at your own pace. Even differing outcomes depending on who you encounter, and how you act toward certain NPC's.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game is an incredible improvement on the original red dead redemption with an amazing story with enriching lore that houses great characters and great gameplay. The open world for you to explore is absolutely beautiful with amazing towns, cities and even swamps for you to explore. I found there to be many amazing side missions that were just as good and in some cases better than the main missions and I loved the ending to Arthur's story and the amazing lead up to the events of the original red dead redemption in the epilogue. I've finished the game logging over 90 hours after finishing both Arthur's and Jonh's stories collectively and i can proudly say this is not only rockstars best game yet but the best game on the Xbox One.

    No critics just awesome story awesome online I don't get why people rate the game low cause of all the long cutscenes you can skip those. There are a lot of missions story and side missions but it is because Rockstar games want the story to last a long time so people don't go through the story too quickly. in conclusion, a really good game and can't wait for Rockstar to put out GTA VI.

You know the story by now so no point telling you about it but if you haven't played this then you are certainly missing out.

    Update nov 2019 Online is much better now, but the worst thing about this game is it makes all your other games worse. I find my self playing other games thinking this looks pants, which before rdr2 came out I wouldn't have. So some new advice if you like other games dont play this game it will make them worse than they are but you will also miss out on the best game ever made

Honestly the individuals leaving very negative opinions, calling the game play boring, are your Bud Lights. They're the masses who you can't hold their attention span, because they lack creativity and a sense of wonder. They're your fans who love playing the hundredth iteration of COD because they understand the controls, and play the same old maps / game types.
    You have to put the sheer size and ambition of this game into perspective to understand the control scheme. Consoles are still providing the same few buttons and triggers from a decade ago, and Rockstar has to adapt a scheme to cater to it. If you have the patience to learn the controls you completely forget this was ever an issue to start. This game is absolutely gorgeous on the Xbox one X and 4k displays, nothing rivals it. Realism is at the heart of any Rockstar open world game - if you can think it, you can do it. This game challenges the player, and the journey is simply amazing.

    Como el mismo título lo dice es redención, Arthur Morgan tiene un desarrollo como persona que hasta donde recuerdo nunca vi en ningún juego de ningún genero ni siquiera en novelas gráficas, y es por lo mismo que es un juego de RockStar que no esperaba esto, la historia de cómo un hombre paga el precio de sus acciones pero se da a la tarea de proteger el futuro de sus seres queridos al ver que el mismo no tendrá oportunidad de ver un futuro para sí mismo, sin quejas ni lloriqueos asume la responsabilidad. Nunca había soltado una lagrima en un juego y nunca espere que fuera RockStar quien lo lograría.

    poco que hablar de lo demás es RockStar ellos se toman su tiempo con sus trabajos para que sean perfectos así que en gameplay, gráficos y desempeño todo es perfecto.

    en pocas palabras este juego me hizo fan del salvaje oeste y de RockStar

    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.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 (Xbox One S): (Playthrough Date 26.11.18)

    After 89 hours and 38 minutes I have now played Red Dead 2 through. What can I say, the game is absolute Game of the Year material for me. The story, the atmosphere, the setting, the technology and much more are simply breathtakingly good. I will now only pick up a few superficial points and start with the few negative ones:

    - Controls: Rockstar-like, unfortunately a bit wobbly and sluggish, it could certainly be solved a little better, but overall I got along with the controls, played both first-person and third-person perspectives and had a lot of fun with both .

    - Bounties: To be honest, I don't know whether the whole thing is a bit buggy or should work like that, but often masks and the like just didn't help to avoid being investigated. Then there were moments in the game where I was frustrated by the whole bounty system and sometimes switched off the console.

    Now I can't really think of what I could criticize, so on the positive side (just a little insight):

    -Story: Very roughly, the story is simply breathtakingly staged, told, set to music, etc. Characters are simply wonderful (Sadie) and Arthur is perfectly written and presented from front to back, and the voice acting is absolutely top notch. One or the other time my eyes got wet too.

    -Gameplay: Despite sluggish controls, I had a lot of fun exchanging gunfire, looting, riding and exploring. There is a lot of collectibles to discover, which I didn't really do, but still found some Easter eggs and cigarette pictures, etc.

    -Technique: Well, let's go ahead the game is wonderful. My jaw dropped several times, be it a wonderful view over a gorge or a gloomy event in the fog. The world offers an incredible number of different and very atmospheric facets and is wonderfully thought out. I hardly had any great graphic glitches or bugs, only the horse sometimes had its own physical laws.

    All in all, I'm not surprised that I played a very good game, but it turned out to be more than that, namely a masterpiece.

    For me very clear 10/10 deluxe bathrooms.

    Il gioco è un assoluto capolavoro:
    -Grafica spettacolare, probabilmente la migliore che si sia mai vista in un videogioco. Sia per quanto riguarda i dettagli, sempre curati magnificamente, ma sopratutto per l'impatto generale che il gioco suscita nel videogiocatore, tramite una realizzazione strabiliante dei vari luoghi, che si diversificano in maniera sorprendente senza mai annoiare. La mappa stessa è d'una vastità senza precedenti e anche dopo oltre 60 ore di gioco si continuano a scoprire nuovi luoghi. Vi sono poi numerosi easter egg, mai banali e sempre interessanti;
    -Il gameplay quasi non presenta pecche, molto completo: in un primo tempo non semplicissimo, si riesce però a comprendere e apprezzare pienamente anche solo dopo circa 5 ore di gioco;
    -La trama, per quanto semplice, e dipanandosi su oltre 50 ore (solo di main quest + missioni secondarie sempre molto interessanti) riesce a non annoiare e ad emozionare con un finale spettacolare, il tutto aiutato da una regia straordinaria;
    -Il character design è semplicemente il migliore di sempre, non solo di Arthur, sicuramente uno dei migliori protagonisti di tutti i tempi (se non il migliore, oserei dire) ma di TUTTI i personaggi, principali e secondari che siano;
    -Il comparto audio è meraviglioso, con una colonna sonora mozzafiato, mai fuori luogo e molto varia, ed effetti sonori sorprendenti;
    -Sotto certi aspetti si denota una ricerca particolare di realismo che però non è mai fastidiosa o eccessiva ma sempre al servizio del gameplay e divertente da gestire;
    Visti e analizzati questi punti principali (e ci si potrebbe dilungare per molte righe ancora) oserei definire Red Dead Redemption 2 come il gioco migliore di sempre, perfetto in ogni suo aspetto, nonostante alcuni bug tuttavia mai invalidanti.

    Lets start of with the setting and atmosphere of the game. If you are thinking of buying RDR2 then you will already know of the scenery.

Typically speaking, video games tend to lie about their graphics in trailers and such. This is not the case because in RDR2 the graphics have come as advertised and dare I say even better than what I expected. As for the environment, the environment is beautiful. Even after completing the game I tend to find myself coming back here again and again solely because of the environment. The rich towns with people who don't see like NPCs but actual people who do actual things around the towns. You can get a drink, get a haircut, go shopping, or you can just stir up a conversation with a NPC and it feels like you aren't talking to a NPC but rather someone from the age of the Wild West. The dialogue options are fun and add a whole layer to RDR2 that I felt was missing from RDR1 and GTA 5. The open forests and various outdoor things you can find are extremely detailed to perfection. Also add the fact that there are plenty of references, Easter eggs and hidden objects that add another layer to this game. The camp where Arthur stays at is also very well designed and modeled. The setting and atmosphere is the best of any video game I have ever played, seen or heard of.
    10/10

    ATTENTION TO DETAIL

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably has the most attention to detail compared to any game available for purchase. The towns, weaponry and some of the characters have been proven to be historically accurate. Most of what you see in RDR2 is historically accurate. The characters also are accurate to the story line and I have never ever encountered a plot hole in the whole game. Every character behaves, responds and even acts in how they are written to. Also add the fact that there are various Easter eggs around camp and town that lets the player figure out more of who a character is, whether it be a main or side or even an NPC. many tend to miss this in their playthroughs and as a result miss a whole layer to the game. I suggest you play the game at a slower pace so you can really engage with the beautiful open world.
    11-12/0

    STORY
    Where to begin. The story makes you Arthur Morgan. I say you as in the player. I felt a personal connection to Arthur that I have not felt with any character from a book, movie, tv or game. The game like the First Red Dead does a more than fantastic job at putting you inside the protagonists shoes. I felt as if I were apart of a gang in the wild west. I felt as if it were me through Arthur doing various activities in the Wild West. Doing quests, buying things, eating things, shooting things even. What a fantastic job by Rockstar and that might be the UNDERSTATMENT of the CENTURY. The game gives you a honor system so you can chose to play as a bad guy or good guy. I started off bad but as I got to know Arthur and what the story about his gang was I began to play more honorably. I definitely made the right choice. Arthur Morgan is a complex character that struggles with his inner demons. He struggles with his troubled past and will do anything for his gang and family. His loyalty to the gang is however questioned more and more as the story progresses. You can see how Arthur cares about everybody in the gang (except Micah). Arthur as the story progresses becomes a more and more complex character. You see a loser and a idiot become a father figure, brother, and in all a hero. The evolution of Arthur Morgan is why this game is so critically acclaimed. How can you write a character so well? I'm really not sure. As for the story itself, the story is extremely well complimented with the attention to detail, graphics and mechanics and more. The story is incredibly well written and it puts you on a journey that you wish would never end. We learn about several members of the gang and who they are, as we get to know them more and more they become our family. The story really picks up mid game where some of the most shocking things happen. No spoilers but there are plenty of tear jerker moments. Its fun, incredibly well written and beautiful. What more could you want. Now for the ending chapter of the story, again no spoilers. This was by far the best thing I've ever seen. No lie, it beats any MOVIE, TV SHOW, or GAME that I've ever played or seen all because of the ending. If you thought that the writing in the early chapters were phenomenal you will be blown away by how much the ending chapters outdo the already flawless beginning of the story. Arthurs character evolution comes full circle, we get to know how much more evil Dutch has become and everything goes ham to the gang. Arthur must make a decision. The ending made me cry harder than any movie ever. Thank you Rockstar for making me laugh, cry, rejoice, envy, and even making me a better person through this story.

    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.
