    This. This game. It's one of the best I've ever played.
    The characters, the emotions, the story, the world, the fanservice... it's pretty much all there.
    Now, I've played the predecessor about 4 months back so I am a bit biased but I think you can very well enjoy it without having any prior experience with Red Dead. The obvious out of the way: this game is gorgeous. I played it on    This. This game. It's one of the best I've ever played.

    Now, I've played the predecessor about 4 months back so I am a bit biased but I think you can very well enjoy it without having any prior experience with Red Dead.

    The obvious out of the way: this game is gorgeous. I played it on Xbox One S, which is not exactly a power-house, and it ran pretty well. Sure, a few frame-drops here and there. Texture pop-ins, too (mostly in the end-game), but far too little that it could bring down the score. Here and there the facade might break a bit, especially in first-person (which is included out of the box), but otherwise it is easily the most immersive 3rd-person game I've come across.

    The characters are great and very lovable (and, very often, very despisable) and quite well written. You'll know almost all of their names by the end (and there are some 30 or 40 important chars), especially since the main story itself is pretty long. Their interactions and emotions toward each other can be felt strongly and one loves and hates with them along the journey.

    Media focused on the realism this game provides from the start but I found it perfect. It is a slow game overall and some mechanics might need some getting used to. But it isn't nearly as realistic as many would want you to believe. Sure, every once in a while you've gotta eat, same as your horse. But you'll always have enough provisions and the penalty for not doing so is pretty minor. Most other things come quite natural and are not too heavily relied on by the game's mechanics or gameplay.

    The only (big) thing I did NOT like here were the controls... It is known by many as the nemesis of Rockstar and this game is no different. I'm all for a realistic approach and having a slower character does not bother me too much. However, shooting behind cover, indoors, or with a Machete-wielding lunatic some feet away from you, can become very annoying to deal with. There is a lot to tweak in the game-settings but it never really felt sufficient. This, however, has been a problem since the first game came out and, by now, I've lost all hope for a "perfect" implementation by Rockstar.

    COMPARED TO RDR1:
    If you've not played Red Dead Redemption, this section is of no use to you. If you have, here are some things that stood out to me, compared to the first game.

    Riding:
    Riding was pretty much perfect in RDR. I found the tank-controls to work great, and the audio-visual feedback was on the brink of perfection.
    They ditched that.
    Don't get me wrong, the riding in RDR2 is still very good. The horses feel heavier and they added maneuvers to make them more agile. It certainly has more realism to it, but a mix of the two might have been a better choice (just my opinion though). Tank-controls + more maneuvers + weighty horses = perfect?
    As it stands, though, RDR will remain the best riding game for me (for now).

    Duelling:
    Oh well, duelling is anything but fun in this game.
    The first one had you move your hand to your weapon, pull it out, and log-in your targets.
    The second one has you pull the trigger... slowly. But it's not really more than that, with a bit of aiming at the end to get off the killing shot. At the same time, you have to focus on your opponent, while watching the "pull-the-trigger-slowly"-meter in the bottom right corner. The bigger your monitor, the more cumbersome it is.
    Again: there's a tad more realism here, as you don't get the opportunity to get 6 targets in at once, but the "pulling-the-trigger-slowly" mechanic was very annoying and absolutely no fun. Luckily, there aren't that many duels here, so it's not too big of a deal. A mix of both mechanics would have been better, though (again).

    Fishing (and a bit of swimming):
    Well, there wasn't anything in RDR. There is now. Have fun :)

    Hunting:
    In RDR, you manly had your region and maybe a certain spawn-point to hunt specific animals.
    RDR2 gives you the chance to actually track down your prey. Similarly to the "witcher-vision" in Witcher 3, you can discover clues with your Dead-Eye-vision, making it possible to search and find (legendary) animals in a more immersive way.

    Story:
    Honestly, I found the story in RDR to be just about enough. It's not bad, but also not great. It suffices and does not overstay it's welcome (it's not that long, really). Would probably make a good movie-series though, i guess.
    RDR2 dumps that and presents a pretty big amount of story missions, intrigue, friendship, family, etc. It's just really, really good. I'm not sure if it's perfect, but certainly great. It's an awesome prequel and if you liked RDR, you'll most likely enjoy what's offered here.    … Expand

    Red Dead Redemption 2 has the best game story I have ever seen in my life. It is a story that you will never forget. All the characters in the guange are well built and have leggings and a past that justifies why he is in the guange. Whenever I remember the story I get emotional, it talks about honor, loyalty and betrayal. I never forgot their names, John Marston, Bill Williamson, Hosea Matthews, Dutch Van Der Linde, Sadie Adler, Micah Bell, Charles Smith, Leopold Strauss, Abigail Roberts, Jack Marston, Javier Escuella, Uncle, Lenny Summers, Sean Macguire, Mary-Beth Gaskill, Tilly Jackson, Karen Jones, Pearson, Susan Grimshaw, Molly O'Shea, Josiah Trelawny and Reverend Swanson.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 has very beautiful graphics, mainly because it is an open world game with a giant map. The setting is fantastic, it has swamp areas, the big and lively city of Saint Dennis, small towns like Strawberry, Rhoades, Valentine, the New Austin desert, the snowy and mountainous area north of the map, farms, rivers, lakes waterfalls, forests, and more. The game has many details, for example, if you fall on the floor your clothes get dirty, the horse's testicles decrease in cold areas, etc.
    The gameplay is great, with a huge variety of weapons of the time, which can be customized, improving them or just making them more beautiful. Guns will rust and get dirty with use, especially if you get into the water with them, which makes it inaccurate, regrow more slowly and may fail, so you need to clean it, as you use the same gun, you gain affinity with time with it, which makes you reload and shoot faster and more accurately.
    It has a lot to do, like hunting more than 200 species of animals, terrestrial, such as bears and wolves, aerial and aquatic, such as alligators and fish. There are 15 legendary animals to be hunted, there is the legendary bear, legendary alligator, legendary panther, many others. You can cut your hair, buy clothes, collect resources to make your own clothes (and unique clothes with the skin of the legendary animal you hunt), gun shops, bars with room to rent, stable to buy, sell and customize horses, post office to pay the reward and buy a train ticket, general store to buy various things, etc.    … Expand

    Still cannot believe that Arthur's gone, even if I know that's the best ending and the redemption for him.

    Amazing story, you will not get any story as good as this one, well, unless you play the first red dead redemption. Gameplay is quite good, satisfying to shoot up people and the dead eye ability is a great addition. The graphics and the foliage are super good. So far the best game I've ever played.

    SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE:
    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    SETTING AND ATMOSPHERE:

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.

People here seem to be divisive about the linear story, but I prefer it so every story beat can maximize an intended impact as opposed to letting the player "get the good ending." Although it's an RPG, I think it's a telling sign that they crafted Arthur as the protagonist, rather than having you create your own character. You do have control over whether Arthur is a good person or a jerk but the overarching and heartbreakingly inevitable story is more akin to a season of television. The RPG elements are more catered to exploration and progression rather than control over the story. It makes the world, the characters, and every interaction feel spontaneous and lived in. The open-world made the game immersive, but it was the compelling story that kept me caring enough to continue playing.

    My biggest gripe is the controls haven't really improved since the last game. The cover system is clunky and honestly worthless, and I didn't enjoy how much slower the movement feels compared to the first. The game compensates with a plethora of options for weapon and horse management, though I think stowing the rifles on the horse ended up more of an annoyance than a commitment to realism.

    I also felt that the narrative was just a little too long, both the main story and the epilogue that follows. I understand the need to give players their money's worth, but I felt that the amount of side activities and exploration was more than enough to give the players 40+ hours of gameplay. While the story itself never really dropped in quality, I think a sense of impatience grew stronger because of how it cycles the same gameplay, shootout after shootout. There's a great sense of escalation to the main story, but the final chapters tend to drag out the same point. Similarly, it's a joy to discover how expansive the epilogue is, but it feels 4 hours too long and softens the narrative catharsis that had just happened moments before.

    Still an amazing game even if it kind of overstayed its welcome. It's an improvement over all the other Rockstar games for the most part, and I'll still be playing even after all the missions are done.    … Expand

    The game with the best physics, history, characters, graphics and details of this generation

    The story of Arthur and how it is told should be studied in schools, in an authentic masterpiece of history and narrative. A story of redemption of the level of the first part.

    Each chapter of the game introduces you to their world, to the gang, to the end of the west and has an end-of-age background that they are not aware of.

    The game has been accused of being boring, slow, and old missions.

    The game is not boring. From the beginning it starts strong and you meet the villains, already in the first chapter. He takes his time to develop the story that is formed through disjointed missions that form an incredible whole. Not like other games that only go straight to the main thing.

    It is not slow, it is how such a man would move, with realistic physics. If you are used to games like dmc5, bayonetta, etc, it is strange, but it is as it should be in rdr.

    The missions are now more narrative, mimicking linear games but you actually have more options than in other open world games.

    In some missions you can make small decisions such as doing it day or night, the dialogues change depending on whether you do a mission before or another or what you do in it, you can decide if you or a partner attack, etc. So you actually have more decision-making power than other current games.

    The world is the most alive seen in a video game with its random events, i.a, physics, narrative, secondary missions, weather effects, it is the most next gen of this generation.

    And all these details are created, but the game does not point a finger at you like other games that want you to see what they have done for you to see. You can end the game and lose it because you are not at the right time, that makes it real, dynamic, alive, you are not the center of the game, you live in it like any other character.

    Again this saga makes me cry for a character, for a story and also gives us the opportunity to know how everything was just before the first game instead of telling it in a video as other games would. Here you play it, you enjoy it.

    The online may seem scarce compared to gta v but it has had dlc's even in the world situation in which we are.

    Other games with a multiplayer component like gt5 or uncharted had less content and less time of it and there are no complaints. This is not a one-year game, the dlc's will arrive and there is already more content than many online will have in their life    … Expand

    As great as it is terrible. Great story and ideas, but the tediousness often ruins gameplay. If all I do is push a direction button or hold the A button, then it's not making me feel like I'm interacting, I feel like I'm being tortured. Just because my character is undergoing hardship doesn't mean I have to. I've just turned it off several times because it wasn't fun at all. Also, doesn'tAs great as it is terrible.

    Unquestionably 2018's best game, and an all-time open-world masterpiece. [Christmas 2018, p.89]

    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.

    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.
