    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Очень хорошая игра заслужившая хороших отзывов на metacritic. Сам наиграл в ней 1600 часов и до сих пор нахожу что-то новое в игре. Сюжет просто потрясающий. Единственное замечание - затянутый. Но это даже ошибкой нельзя назвать, на любителя. В этом и отражается детализация сюжета.
    В игре очень много секретных мест и очень продуманный открытый мир.

    Самый лучший персонаж последнего десятилетия. Самый лучший сюжет, минимум, последних лет 15. Необычная повествовательная кривая. В других играх, в которых герой со временем растёт и развивается, «прокачивается», встречает новый подход в рдр 2 не только по сюжету, но и через геймплей.

Необычная повествовательная кривая. В других играх, в которых герой со временем растёт и развивается, «прокачивается», встречает новый подход в рдр 2 не только по сюжету, но и через геймплей. Здесь ты идёшь по наклонной вниз и с тобой по наклонной идёт всё: банда, судьбы людей, эпоха ковбоев, главный герой, даже сам игрок, как бы странно это не казалось. Пытаясь, как и сам Артур Морган, хоть как-то искупить свои грехи, стать хорошим человеком, попытаться сделать хоть что-то хорошее и оставить после себя добро, а не только зло. Когда ты до последнего хватаешься, как и герой, за жизнь, чтобы что-то в ней изменить, помочь кому-то, прожить жизнь лучше, чем до этого. Можно сказать, пытаешься выпросить у Бога хоть какое-то прощение за все содеянное, у всего мира, у близких для Артура людей. Но все рушится прямо на глазах и остаётся только путь искупления и принятия подходящего тёмной тучей конца. Изумительный пример, как через геймплей можно дополнить вглубь и вширь философскую идею произведения, сам сюжет. Я с ходом игры лишний раз осознал, что делать плохие поступки (которые влияют на карму) как раз плюнуть. Убил ради прикола прохожего, ограбил кого-то для своих алчных целей. Весело и беззаботно. А делать поступки хорошие стоит реального труда. Чтобы равноправно поднять карму от обычного убийства прохожего фермера, нужно сделать что-то стоящее, как минимум, времени. Даже прикол с рыбалкой и отпусканием рыбы обратно в воду занимает несоизмеримо больше усилий и времени, чем достать револьвер и пустить кому-то пулю в лоб. Про другие аспекты игры даже говорить не стоит. Все и так знают, что это технологический шедевр в плане графики, что это САМЫЙ (!) проработанный открытый мир за все время, который живет сам и в котором, самое главное, хотелось бы пожить самому. Про внимание к деталям маниакальное, что отстреленная веревка на повозке с дровами (сам факт что ее можно отстрелить говорит об этом) в итоге приведёт к тому, что дрова по физике начнут с обоза падать, приведя к каким-то последствиям, на которые живой мир игры реагирует. И таких мелочей буквально тысячи.

    Игра достойна считаться настоящим произведением искусства.

    Add Russian voice acting. Otherwise, this game is like a horse ass watching simulator. It is not possible to play with subtitles. In the meantime, zero is the best estimate for such projects.

    如果有充足时间的话,请务必要来体验一下这部神作,无与伦比的画面,无孔不入的细节,塑造的最真实的开放世界以及朴实但感人至深的剧情,绝对不会让你失望。千万不要用急着打通关的心态来体验这款游戏,而是应该静下心来,沉浸在这最激动人心的西部世界里

    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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply amazing! it's wonderful how the game makes you feel like you're Arthur Morgan, when the game was announced I was afraid they'd opted for a new character instead by John Marston, but in a few hours of gameplay I already had the feeling that there was no better character to choose, a giant affective bond becomes with the course of the game, with his death, it was not possible to hold back the urge to cry, I got to lose heart from playing with so much affection and appreciation that I created with the character, but that was crucial for the depth and quality of this beautiful story.
    Now about the gameplay, so detailed and good quality that I think since my childhood where I started to appreciate e love games I've never seen something so relentless, different weapons, different types of play, strategic, aggression but the main thing is the morale meter, it's impressive how the population and mainly the end of the chapters is altered by its morals it manages to do from the audience that played the red dead revolver, red dead redemption 1 and even started and discovered the game by the two crying with the end of the game and by the conclusions and lessons that the game can take to the player's life.
    About other characters, WOW, MAGNIFICENT, WONDERFUL, the detail that rockstar put in each of the gang members especially Arthur, John, Micah and of course Dutch, is something that at the moment I'm writing this review I still haven't found a word that describes it, and it's beautiful to see the affection put into each side quest character and even npc's, it's something impeccable. About Graphics, man, it's hard to talk about this, the only thing I didn't like maybe the only thing about the game is the female characters' hands getting inside their clothes, but the game is so brilliant you can barely stand there, if we've already seen how the GTA V dog graphics have aged so well, I believe that only RDR2 has what it takes to be able to live with these graphics 2 times most.

    Conclusion:
    Gathering Gameplay, Depth, Detail, Graphics, But mostly history makes this game Was and With 99% certainty It will be the best game I've ever played in my entire life.

    What does loyalty mean to you? Does anyone deserve a redemption? What does it mean to be a good man?
    These and other questions are masterfully answered in RDR2, a game where the narrative should not be taken lightly. One of the most spectacular protagonists that I have ever seen, with a moral dilemma that will be a matter for the player to solve it. It is never too late to play it. 10/10

    Red Dead Redemption is an amazing story-telling masterpiece, that showcases a beautiful and intense story of redemption and strife. While the gameplay certainly has its flaws as unnecessary realism can often lead to the gameplay becoming too boring and repetitive, I believe that this is one of the best games of our generation.

    What many games struggle to create is immersion. Leading the player to completely believe, feeling and enter the universe that the game tries to create. Red Dead Redemption 2 does that better than any other games I have played.
    It is not easy to merge the player with the character he's playing but Red Dead Redemption 2 those that great. Most of the credit for that is the world-building
    What many games struggle to create is immersion. Leading the player to completely believe, feeling and enter the universe that the game tries to create. Red Dead Redemption 2 does that better than any other games I have played.
    It is not easy to merge the player with the character he's playing but Red Dead Redemption 2 those that great. Most of the credit for that is the world-building that has been made. There are so many details in the world that are astonishing, from the incredible graphics to the animals' sound and behavior, everything feels way too realistic for a videogame.
    In a rapidly changing America, where there is no more room for outlaws, Arthur and the rest of the crew are trying to find time and money to reach for a better place and spend the rest of their time living by income.
    I played a lot of games and in most of them, I struggle to remember most of them. Take Dark Souls, for example, one of my favorite games; I can cite the name of Solaire, Sigmayer and Lautrec easily... but then I struggle to remember or even find other characters, but I can easily tell you all the names of the Van der Linde crew. As the player progress in the game, bonds with the characters are created, and not only with Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of the story but with all its main characters.
    The game is very fast-paced: the story, the gameplay, and the character development are fast which fits well with the specific timeline Rockstar games decided to take for this episode of the Red Dead series.
    Another great aspect of the game is the music. Both the soundtracks and the original songs are incredibly well performed and fit the atmosphere so well, making the game much better in parts where it kinda fell down.
    In fact, I found myself spending too much time riding a horse instead of doing something fun like shooting, and most of the quest requires you to ride a horse before doing the fun part, which feels like an unskippable cutscene that nobody wants to see.
    That is the main problem with this game. There is too much filler between fun shooting parts and tedious horse riding. One of the most fun parts was Chapter 5 because for almost its entire duration it was fighting and shooting, but storywise it was horrible. Chapter 5 doesn't make any sense to the previous part of the story and has no meaning whatsoever; it could be just completely deleted and the story would still make sense.
    I also don't like how the story continues after a certain part. In the most climax moment, where everything is set and done and you are certain that is the end, the story just keeps going for no reason other than letting the angry and sad player have what they have been lusting for. It's the exact opposite of what The Last of Us 2 did and I think Rockstar didn't want to risk having to deal with a lot of angry players like Naughty Dog had to, even though it meant to make a great game less great.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a true beauty. I can see why Rockstar spent 8 years make this game. The story is so deep and even once you have completed all 6 chapters + the epilogue there’s still so much to do and explore. Whether your thing is to be an outlaw, an epic gunslinger or a gambler, I have never put my controller down to say “this game is boring.” NEVER. The story is so well built and it has a lot to it. It was quite sad considering there were numerous deaths of certain gang members which include Sean, Hosea, Lenny, Ms Grimshaw, Micah, Kieran, and sadly the main character, Arthur. You can tell that Rockstar did a great job at making us form a deep connection with the game, and Arthur, which led to an extremely sad ending of Arthur dying either from being murdered by Micah, or of natural causes (likely because of his Tuberculosis.) Since Red Dead Redemption 1 the game has developed so much, the story, graphics, and map. Rockstar was very creative with “extending” the story backwards. It would be so cool if RDR3 was also “extended” backwards and maybe we could play as Dutch. It would be so cool to see you pick up all the gang members as Dutch including little Arthur and John. I would also love to play the Blackwater massacre that would be so cool, and I would like to see life before the mountains and the gang members who died IN the mountains. An extension to the map would be cool even though it’s already fairly large. It’s surprisingly smaller than GTA V’s map but that’s because it seems larger since it takes longer to get everywhere on horse compared to a car. My final thoughts? I can just see why this game is $90 AUD. Rockstar put so much time and effort and there’s still people complaining about no GTA 6 even though they don’t realise that rockstar has been working on this beauty for all those years. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game with this many high points should not exist, but RDR2 kills it every time. The first time playing through the whole game can be a bit annoying but if you go back after understanding all the major plot points, you grow a better appreciation for the game. Rockstar has created a fantastic open world with so much detail and realism. The characters at your camp all feel like real people and the story is incredibly gripping with its pacing and tone. the gameplay is my only complaint because for most of it you the player are not doing anything. The horse steers itself, the game aims the gun for you and the 5th chapter is a low point in the whole game. However, even with those small flaws, RDR2 is fantastic just on a story and technical level. This is one of the best stories ever written in a game. Expand

    This game has overall the best story mode, and most visually appealing gameplay I’ve ever seen. Full of plot twists and pick-your-own routes, this is a truly deep, as well as exiting and saddening masterpiece. Grand Theft Auto 5 has the edge over this game for online, but this game contains the true king of stories. Great work rockstar, 9 years well spent.

    Looks and sounds great but the game is kind of boring. It has a lot of layers to do and that is just not that fun to me. Also the world, even if its beautiful, its empty most of the time. I like this game in short periods and because it has good story and characters, but other than that is overrated.

    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.
