    Played all Rockstar games since 2004, GTA, LA NOIRE, RED REVOLVER, RDR, Max Payn, and the RDR2 is the climax of rockstars' expertise in story telling, graphics and open world's management.
    Thank you !

Since TW3's release, I'd yearned for a game that would captivate me as that game did. After experiencing the entire game - and also upgrading from a first gen XBOX One to an XBOX One X, which was a substantial improvement - I awarded RDR2 with the coveted 10/10. The flaws detailed below are still valid, but they're insignificant compared to the game's strengths.

    It's a very good game, but it's not perfect, and is therefore not worthy of the coveted 10/10. I'll mostly focus on the parts of the game that either need improvement, or should have been excised from the final product altogether. This is because everyone already knows about the game's high points.

    THE HONOR SYSTEM: This is a total mess. It's the same thing as the karma system in the Fallout series. If you do something honorable, you get "good cowboy" points, and the opposite is true if you do somethign dishonorable. The game very much wants you to be a "good cowboy." There are a number of perks awarded to you if your "honor" is high, which mostly consist of discounts in stores, and additional clothing available for purchase at said stores. Given that money is not all that easy to come by in the game (at least for the first half), this is no small perk. The problem with the honor system, however, is that it's extremely finicky, and after not too long it conditions you to avoid confrontation with NPCs (both man and beat) altogether. For example, you see some men arguing at the side of the road, and it looks like it might erupt into gunfire. You intervene by shooting the primary aggresors just as they brandish their firearms. In so doing, you shoot one of their horses, which the game considers dishonorable. You have now lost an entire level of honor. Whereas you once received a 25% discount in stores, you now enjoy merely a 10% discount. What's more, to regain honor is no small feat - it's very, very easy to become dishonorable, but quite tedious and time consuming to attain a high honor level. So when the game forces you to do some mission that requires you to kill dozens of innocent NPCs during the course of an armed robbery, it's a bit of a punch to the gut when the inevitable honor fallout ensues.

    AGGRESIVE NPCs: This is somewhat related to my gripe with the "honor system." You go into a bar and some guy picks a fight with you because he's drunk, etc. You'd think that this would be a fun diversion, or maybe even increase your "melee" skillset, or something similiar. Not at all. If he throws the first punch and you beat him to death (or unconscious - it's not clear to me if these guys die or not following a beating), then while you may not have the law on your back, you absolutely will lose honor points. Why? You acted in self-defense, so what's the issue? Who knows. And if you plunder the corpse of valuables afterwards, forget about it...not only will you lose even more honor, but you'll be wanted for "looting." Bonus points if you inadvertenly punch one of the men people in the bar during your justified assault - you'll now be wanted for "unarmed assault," notwithstanding you lack of criminal intent. So you see how this game really only wants you to commit sanctioned acts of violence, i.e., those that are bundled with a mission? Seriously, Arthur Morgan is considerably more placid and peaceful than I am even in my day-to-day life. It's outright bizarre.

    LOOTING CORPSES: In addition to what I referenced in the "AGGRESIVE NPCs" paragraph, this also needs some work. Most of the missions involve shooting hoards of NPCs to death. We're talking at least three dozen. Every single one of these corpses can be looted, which yields not insignificant amounts of money, ammo, and other valuables that can be fenced. The problem is, however, your fellow gang members discourage you from looting - they constantly complain and tell you to hurry-up and move over to the next cut-scene trigger mark. You can ignore them, but man...they complain A LOT. It's just annoying, and it makes you feel like there will be some consequence if you don't heed their commands. I don't think there are any consequences - that's just how it makes you feel.

    There are a few things that are more minor, such as the fact that animals usually have poor quality pelts, even if you kill them properly. You can eyeball the animal from afar to see if they have a three-star quality - or "perfect" - pelt, but why didn't they just give all animals perfect pelts and leave it up to the player to degrade their quality by utilizing the wrong weapon during the hunt? Who knows. Anyway, it's a great game, but it has some really wonky systems, and it's not clear to me why the developers included these systems in teh final product    … Expand

    Perfect in most ways. Story is incredible, characters memorable and impactful, the world is impressively alive and responsive. I’ll always seemingly have issues with shooting in Rockstar games, and it can be a bit overstuffed, but this game sets an incredibly high bar.

    One hour in, and it's not gonna entertain you in some stupid manner like "see dude, we removed things we think you don't want, so it's pure fun now dude!". It's the story and the game people wanted to make, so play it with no shortcuts you used to, with all the small moves and details, slowly immersing yourself into 1899 wild west..

While I gave it a rating of 10 it is not perfect but compared to other games Red Dead Redemption 2 stands head and shoulders above all else. I say this not only as a gamer but also as a game developer. There are some things that may seem rough around the edges but everything in this game is deliberate and indeed sets itself apart from all other games ever released. Period. Does it cater to the lowest common denominator? Hardly. There are and will be detractors but those will be from those who are used to everything being laid out for them mindlessly in a wash of a saturated game market where fast and loose is rote. Red Dead 2 is a game to be savored with a map to be explored and missions to seek out without relying on map blips or text overlay directing which way to go. The story is immersive and easily the most cinematic of all games Rockstar has produced. All characters are deep and unique. The environments are lush and vistas unmatched by any other developer of open world games. While the main story takes anywhere from 50-60 to complete I easily surpassed those numbers to soak up every possible side mission and quest that I would stumble upon as well as using the companion app and strategy guide to seek out. The companion app itself is a great way to view the world map, shop for in-game items read the strategy guide or manual and/or track play progress while comparing with friend's progress as well. The online portion is still in Beta development but once ironed out will make Red Dead Online the future of online gaming as successor to GTA Online. There is so much to do, over 500 different animals to seek out and hunt and fish. Even portions of the map from Red Dead Redemption 1 are included as part of gameplay in both single and online play. This is a stunning achievement on many levels. The number and quality of systems designed for this game are well beyond and much more enjoyable than say things going on in the most recent Assassin's Creed games. The limitations on certain aspects make complete sense. However with such detailed systems in a console title there are controller input limitations causing some controller input schemes to be layered but once understood players can select items fairly quickly and get easier to use as one goes along. I am having such a great time playing both single and online in RDR2 that I will be playing this game for longer that I ever did GTA V/Online (played through single player at least 3 times on that one and was regularly playing Online until this was released). Once online is filled out with the types of content we expect I can only imagine playing this game for the foreseeable future indefinitely only to be interrupted by other releases along the way, only to return here. This is the only game that caused my to purchase a new 4K TV and Home Theater system to get the most out of this game. A decision I do not regret. All benchmarks for performance agree that the XBox One X is the system to play Red Dead 2 on and I cannot agree more. Get this game. It is a muts have for current generation consoles.… Expand

Whether it be on the PS4 or XBOX One, you're in for a visual treat in this expansive game with great audio and a brilliant soundtrack. I also love how intricate the features are such as being careful when running downhill as a single trip and fall could seriously injure you or kill you and the game has you nurturing your bond with your horse as you carefully explore the huge landscape trying not to accidentally injure or kill it all the while keeping yourself, your camp and your horse clean, well fed and staying in good health.

    It's all wonderfuly oldschool where it demands patience from you so you can really appreciate this wonderfully realized world, it's slow paced but held together with deep and well done mechanics where every action feels meaningful and weighty. The attention to detail in absolutely everything will astound you and the atmosphere in this game will stay with you forever.

    My only negative so far is that we had to wait for so long for this kind of gaming experience, RDR2 is a whole new type of open world game which only very few devs can deliver. It will be very interesting to see how Cyberpunk 2077 holds up after experiencing RDR2.

    Just imagine all the best westerns you've ever seen such as Once Upon a Time in the West, Tombstone, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Unforgiven, Appaloosa, Open Range, The Hateful Eight, Blackthorn, 3:10 to Yuma, True Grit, A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More etc and you've summed up what you're getting with RDR2.    … Expand

I am born 1990 and I have NEVER played any game like this before.

    • The graphics is stunning with extreme details. For example, your characters pupils will dilate in darker environment. Horses balls shrinks in cold weather. Walking in snow or mud make footprints. If you hit someone, you may see them with a bandage around their head the day after. That kind of attention to details shines through the whole game.

    • The environment is living and breathing of life. This is not only the NPC:s. You can even see birds picking up fish, dogs playing in the mud, and even eagles hunting rabbits. The environment and the people is different depending on which state you're in.

    • The story is extremely well-written. There is indeed a few underdeveloped characters. But overall it is amazing: it is long, it is complex, and there is many ways to interact with the people in the story outside of the story itself. You really get to KNOW all the characters. The game's ending was very emotional and made me shred a tear.

    • There is lots to do outside of the storyline.

    • I was afraid that this game would become another ''responsive, accessible, fast-paced dumbed-down action game. Well it was not. The shooting mechanics and the animations are great. Not everyone's cup of tea though: this game is not the typical AA-title with fast-paced action and accessible gameplay. Shooting and movement is slower and more deliberate. You have to shave, and clean yourself if you want to look respectable. You have to clean your guns from time to time to keep them in shape. There is a lot of animations. If you have short attention span this game might not be for you.

    • The soundtrack is amazing.

    Summary: If this game does not deserve 10/10 I don't know which game that would. No game is perfect. 10/10 cannot therefore refer to perfection. There is simply NO OTHER GAME like Red Dead Redemption 2. It is innovative. It cannot be replaced. With the quality, and the fact that it is different, it will always stay close to me. This is hands down the best game i've ever played in my life.    … Expand

There are bugs, yes, and some quirks to the game's honor system, but nothing ever eclipsed the sheer joy I felt every time I popped this game on and dove into its richly textured world.

I challenge anyone to think of another artist or group of artists who deliver works of such consistent quality. The closest I can think of is Scorsese or Tarantino. There's a reason why they spend so much time on a single game whereas other AAA developers release a steady stream of schlock every year.

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

    In short. Pros:
    - a wonderful main character
    - a huge open world, dynamically living itself,
    - a huge range of drawing,
    - great picture, realistic, excellent lighting and shading (XboxOneX),
    - good sound,
    - very many-sided and varied gameplay,
    - Submission of the plot, well, this was not yet, my respect,
    - A lot of activities, which only cost hunting and fishing, as well as self-care, weapons, horse, camp, pumping stats and a lot of testing from above and not only.
    Minuses:
    - I can hardly find them in this game, everything is perfect.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 might be first game I came across this generation where I can honestly give it a 10 and not come up with any reasons why it shouldn't be a 10. Know what I mean?

Know what I mean? For example when God of War released I gave it a 10 but there was a voice in the back of my head that would come up with reasons it doesn't deserve a 10, but it absolutely did. I did not get that at all with Red Dead. The giant and gorgeous open world is breath taking. That may sound cliche' but I honestly have NO IDEA how Rockstar made everything look SO damn good. The lighting, the shadows, the way the sun pierces the clouds, to the thunderstorms coming from a distance that you can literally see rolling over the hills. It should be illegal how good this game works, and that's an understatement. Some may feel like the world is a bit empty but it really needs to be in some cases. It makes you feel like you are roughing it out in the wilderness, with no one around for miles. Combat is super fun, and of course dead eye is back with a vengeance. This sounds super crazy I know but please before you completely disregard my review hear me out. RDR 2 reminds me so much of Metal Gear Solid 5 TPP, but with a much more coherent story. What I mean by that is like in MGS5 you have a base, or in RDR's case a camp which you can donate money to to upgrade it by adding additional supplies, lodging, ammunition, etc. Before each mission start you choose a load out by standing next to your horse and opening saddle bags to show your inventory. Since you can't carry everything on Arthur (the protagonist) you leave most of it for your horse to carry. A small piece of advice: Upgrade the camp as soon as possible so you can unlock fast travel. If you don't you will have a lot of long horse rides which honestly didn't bother me at all but I kept getting side tracked for hours, so if you are like me you probably want a good way to get about without being sucked into whatever instance out in the wilderness. The attention to detail here would give The Witcher 3 a run for it's money, its insane. You'll be able to figure that out for yourself just by looking up at the sky lol. Combat is super fun and can sometimes be incredibly intense, if not a little sluggish. You know, the normal GTA type character movement. The only gripe I could possibly come up with is the UI. The weapon/item wheel can be a bit confusing, especially while on the horse, but it just takes a bit getting used to. It's not completely un-wielding. Anyway, I don't want to give too much away so I will stop now. What I will say is that I can absolutely guarantee that if you see someone give this game a 1, they are completely and utterly garbage, and have no business writing reviews. I can understand people that just didn't like the game, but to give it a 1? I know no one takes those people seriously (at least anyone even slightly intelligent) but it's just sad to see. SSSSSOOOOOOO much work went into making this game and even though I don't always agree with the direction Rockstar goes sometimes, they always find a way to go above and beyond for every release.… Expand

Rockstar has also never been exceptional with fluid believable animations before, and they aren't perfect here either, but they are way way way better than I expected, and totally on par with other AAA games. I never hit any bugs. The story and character progression are thought provoking and heart wrenching at times. The music and sound design are second to none. While there are great big moments, like train heists, that's exactly what I'd expect of a modern video game. They are fun, but what really demonstrates the quality to me is the numerous subtler things: doing realistic chores in camp, surprisingly realistic conversation while playing poker, and careful consideration of what aspects of the game to turn into limited resources (e.g., cargo on your horse, time limit on fresh kills going rotten). Everything sums up to the most immersive game I've played to date.… Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth. Red Dead Redemption 2, however, stands out as a pinnacle among masterpieces. You may, understandably, assume that I'm simply riding the "Red Dead hype wagon" but, unless the game drasticallyRed Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth. Red Dead Redemption 2, however, stands out as a pinnacle among masterpieces. You may, understandably, assume that I'm simply riding the "Red Dead hype wagon" but, unless the game drastically changes after the first 10 hours or so, this is certainly not the case.

    From what I've experienced so far, Red Dead Redemption 2 offers the player an unprecedented amount of options in what to do and how to tackle the, both optional and integral parts of the game. Fortunately these options do not overwhelm the player, but are instead revealed progressively, allowing you to first master what is already there. After several hours spent with the game I was still constantly being surprised by a steady stream of new features and added complexity to pre-existing mechanics.

    All this depth, however, wouldn't be worth 2 cents if it wasn't for the incredibly high degree of fine tuning and polishment that went into the game. The frame rate stays smooth and constant throughout the whole experience and, incredibly enough, so far I haven't encountered a single bug during my 14 hours of playing the game. Rockstar have certainly nailed the shooting mechanics, but there are also more discreet options for those who aren't completely certain that lead is the be-all end-all problem solver.

    To summarize: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must buy for anyone looking for a deep and fleshed out experience, that gradually unfolds during many hours of game time. It's not a game that you can rush through over the weekend (though, admittedly, I myself might in retrospect have been a bit too hasteful in order to experience as much as possible in a short time window). If you're willing to put in the time however, Red Dead Redemption 2 is guaranteed to offer you a complete and thrilling experience, brimming with possibilities for the player to discover. If I have one complaint regarding the game it's that it didn't come out sooner.    … Expand

The game is a cross between a good movie, a good book and a great story set in the most gorgeous and vibrant world surpassing the prasied graphics of The Witcher 3. I can't say enough about how much they have put into this game, even setting up for what's next to come after the main story is complete.... I am hesitant to revisit the game from the beginning again having just completed around 60+ hours only because i want to play it again when it comes out on PC to see how much more beautiful it looks on full system specs. They have a few glitches to sort out but they are basic and unfortunately it takes a little away from the immersion but that only means it will get better before you play it if you haven't already as they iron out those bugs.
    You cannot avoid this game, the fact that this is more than one persons "best game ever" means that it has the potential to be yours. Wow, just Wow. Go into this game with an open mind and prepared to enter a world, not just complete a game, it is and amazing and "alive" world.

It is felt in everything, beginning from gay being thrilled and finishing with a plot. As for a plot - it departs from canons of Rockstar Games here. The excellent beginning and the end of the game was very frequent in their previous games, and here the middle strongly sank in respect of direction, most was also with Red Dead Redmption of 2010. In the second part a plot uniform. Graphics on Xbox One X is amazing, it is possible to carp of course at artificial HDR, but the fact that a game goes to the native 4K most part of time laudable. In general RDR2 a bright indicator that video games not just a part of the modern art, and it is rather an a leader of the industry. RDR2 looks much better than the majority of movies of a genre a western. And the most important RDR2 it is made as it is should for the mass player in difference from GTA. Here 50% of time - riding a horse and what description of the real life it are. Artur the most ordinary person. The epilog very competently underlines that the sense of a game is simple and it is not necessary to show any great things or acts of heroes to make the best game of the current generation of consoles. It is possible to refer to minuses only management. It here з and just stronger reduces the rate of a game. 10 of 10, the best game of the last 5 years.

    A masterpiece which stands tall with open world greats like The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. A fully realized open world with exploration and tasks which actually are enjoyable to undertake with further depth being able to be undertaken by those who crave for it, meanwhile those who don't care for aren't severely punished. A true testament to video games as an art form.

    Once in a while a game comes along that I would consider special. Arthur Morgans turbulent journey through the wild west is long, arduous, heart breaking and ultimately a journey that I won't be forgetting any time soon. 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.Once in a while a game comes along that I would consider special. Arthur Morgans turbulent journey through the wild west is long, arduous, heart breaking and ultimately a journey that I won't be forgetting any time soon. 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

    This guy called meta_reviewer gives this game a 1 by saying its not as fun as vice city and witcher 3 is the best. Problem is he is a PC player and is salty that this game is not on PC and gave it a 1. This is the reason why this game is getting bad reviews. PC players need to get a console and get a life, STOP HATIN' ON CONSOLE PLAYERS!

It is perceived the hostile and dirty environment of how that era could be.

    People usually don't understand this game. This is not a game to finish in a couple of weeks, it can take months. Take your time, explore, do the challenges, find the treasures and secrets... you can spend hours just fishing legendary fish. It is a game to be along with for a long time and enjoy it throughout. Amazing masterpiece.

    The game is a work of art. It compels you to slow down (like life in the old west) and take in all the details. Sure it has elements of a game - missions and such - but it really is more of a landscape to be savored. The game does not provide rapid fire doses of dopamine like COD or Fortnite, no superficial high here. Instead, pleasure is derived from immersing yourself in the world.

This game made me feel like the main character would in those regards. Care for the other members of the gang, increasing frustration with Dutch, sense of futility that the next big score would have us mango farming in Tahiti. Just excellent tone and pacing.

    What it lacks in character progression (it is not a skill building or leveling power fantasy) it makes up for in character development. I believe some of the negative thoughts about this game miss the point that this is not a crescendo toward the climax but a story that kind of swirls around the central themes and the gang gets increasingly desperate and more fractured.

    The way the game resolves and moves into the Epilogue is extremely well done.    … Expand

I love a good story and Red Dead Redemption 2 delivers in all areas here keeping things interesting and exciting at all times. There’s a ton of content for you to get to grips with and you will definitely not be getting bored anytime soon because the content has tons of variety as well. I really enjoyed the world in which the game takes place in because the detail is off the charts and traversing around the nooks and crannies always feels rewarding. Each different mechanic that’s present in the game has been done to perfection and the best thing is that they all feel important and combine together extremely well. There’s plenty of progression to be made in a number of key areas and the way you’re able to interact with NPC’s is very clever and creative to say the least. It does take a while for the game to get going at the start. Overall Red Dead Redemption was a masterpiece in my opinion and without a doubt it was my favorite game that Rockstar had ever done. The reason I say was is because Red Dead Redemption 2 is now my favourite Rockstar game of all time and to say it reached my huge expectations and then some would be a massive understatement. My excitement levels for this game were simply off the charts and after only a few hours with this game it became quite clear that a lot of love and effort has gone into all areas. Visually the game looks superb and when you combine that with the stunning and very immersive sound design you end up experiencing an adventure and story like no other. If that wasn’t enough then you also get mechanics and gameplay that are compelling at all times and you won’t be getting bored anytime soon either because there’s more than enough varied content here to keep you satisfied for a while. In terms of problems the game basically doesn’t have any and apart from a slow start you won’t find any issues within the fantastic world in which the game takes place in. At the end of the day then I can’t recommend Red Dead Redemption 2 enough because it’s took what was good from the first game and improved it while also adding its own unique features, and when it’s all said and done I can definitely see this game ending up being game of the year for 2018, with Tomb Raider coming in 2nd.… Expand

The menu system for grabbing guns and selecting them from your horse felt wonky and unintuitive. The brief explanation of what to do with skins and where items you drop in camp go could use a better explanation and maybe a better system for handling. At this point I felt the game didn't deserve a 98/97 rating...

    After those first handful of hours the game really takes off. I got used to thinking about taking my guns from my horse. I got used to the weapon wheel and what I thought was clunky gun play turned out to be realistic firing mechanics (i.e. the repeater round loading). I experienced some great missions and random world encounters that were hilarious and really made me think if I wanted to be good or bad. I quickly realized that this game deserved every accolade it had been given by reviewers.

    Strangely enough the best work is in the camp. Every one of the Van de linde gang feels great. They have their own backstory and history with Arthur Morgan and when you return to camp their interactions feel organic and new every single time. Sometimes I enjoy just sitting in camp and play texas hold'em listen to banter and the daily chores going on around me.

    Hunting and fishing aren't just afterthoughts, on the contrary, they are WELL thought out. Especially hunting, the tracking mechanic is good and hunting prey feels almost too real. I won't spoil the feeling for anyone who hasn't experienced this yet.

    Get this game, play this game, and enjoy the most immersive experience in gaming history.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth. Red Dead Redemption 2, however, stands out as a pinnacle among masterpieces. You may, understandably, assume that I'm simply riding the "Red Dead hype wagon" but, unless the game drastically changes after the first 10 hours or so, this is certainly not the case.

    From what I've experienced so far, Red Dead Redemption 2 offers the player an unprecedented amount of options in what to do and how to tackle the, both optional and integral parts of the game. Fortunately these options do not overwhelm the player, but are instead revealed progressively, allowing you to first master what is already there. After several hours spent with the game I was still constantly being surprised by a steady stream of new features and added complexity to pre-existing mechanics.

    All this depth, however, wouldn't be worth 2 cents if it wasn't for the incredibly high degree of fine tuning and polishment that went into the game. The frame rate stays smooth and constant throughout the whole experience and, incredibly enough, so far I haven't encountered a single bug during my 14 hours of playing the game. Rockstar have certainly nailed the shooting mechanics, but there are also more discreet options for those who aren't completely certain that lead is the be-all end-all problem solver.

    To summarize: Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must buy for anyone looking for a deep and fleshed out experience, that gradually unfolds during many hours of game time. It's not a game that you can rush through over the weekend (though, admittedly, I myself might in retrospect have been a bit too hasteful in order to experience as much as possible in a short time window). If you're willing to put in the time however, Red Dead Redemption 2 is guaranteed to offer you a complete and thrilling experience, brimming with possibilities for the player to discover. If I have one complaint regarding the game it's that it didn't come out sooner.    … Expand

    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.
