    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.

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.

    Such an amazing experience. Thanks Rockstar. I cried when i played the game first time, and i know i'm gonna cry if i play again. It feels Arthur Morgan is not only a game character, it feels you met him looong time ago.

    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.

    It's a rockstar game so you expect perfection which in the solo campaine it certainly achieves new heights on graphics and gameplay. 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. The online mode is just boring don't expect a gta v here, there is nothing to do apart from killing other people.

    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

    Playing Red Dead Redemption 2 is like enjoying the finest craft beer you could possibly get your hands on. Complex, beautiful, and far from the ordinary. Honestly the individuals leaving very negative opinions, calling the game play boring, are your Bud Lights.

They're your fansPlaying Red Dead Redemption 2 is like enjoying the finest craft beer you could possibly get your hands on. Complex, beautiful, and far from the ordinary. 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.

I don't quite understand how people expect it to have a faster pace because it really blends in with the time and the setting of the game. The whole game is like watching a movie but you get really attached to the characters along the way and that makes it something really special. Arthur Morgan is so good you will forget how good of a character John Marston was. This is so far the best rockstar game I ever played and I believe its one of the all-time greats. Expand

    And then, after many hours of gameplay. Do this, do that, and actually just play the story line, i think is not a problem to say RDR 2 is a great game overall. Of course, there's some minor problem such like honor point, and the npc which is so aggresive. But, that's not made this game so bad.

    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.
