    This game might not be perfect but it deserves nothing short of 10 because it is definitely more than a 9 for me.

The games slower pace is due to realism being prioritized more than gameplay in this game. I absolutely loved the slower pace but I agree that the gameplay could have been better. 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

    I am genuinely angry that Fortnite got that game award over Red Dead Redemption 2. Now, I'm still only on chapter 2 however this game has been a lot of fun so far. The controls are actually pretty good with my only complaint being to match speeds you need to hold A the entire time and it isn't a toggle.

    This game is a no brainier just buy it. Gameplay is fantastic graphics are insane and it has a beautiful masterpiece of a story pieced together by rockstar. This game in my books will be timeless and a 140+ hour game of content I hope to revisit. Although I will leave the online out of this review because if you are buying this game you shouldn't be buying it for it's online.

    Red dead redemption 2 is unlike any game I have ever played before, I was invested in every character until the very end. My advice is to take the game slow unlike I did and savor every moment. There are some features that could be fixed there are a lot of glitches and running is a little janky. But it is still my favorite game of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think I can honestly say that this is the best game I have ever played. It has a masterful story that puts you in the shoes of Arthur Morgan and takes you on an emotional rollercoaster. You get to see how Dutch and the other remaining gang members deteriorate into the husk of their former selves that they are in the first game. It’s an awesome must-play!… Expand

    I have never loved playing through a game more. Rockstar does an absolutely incredible job bring the immersion of the west into a players mind. The game is so detailed and has one of the most heart wrenching stories I have ever played through. The voice acting is incredible, the game is visually so appealing, and there is just so many details that should be appreciated.

    I love Rockstar games, but they seriously need to figure out their controls. Since GTA III controls have been **** with a slight improvement.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 has something for everyone. The main story is beautifully crafted, and never seem boring. In most games, filler missions that don't move the plot are some of the most boring ones. In RDR2, getting drunk and building houses were some of my favorite memories of the whole game.

Sure, you can do regular cowboy things, rob trains, get in bar fights, do whatever you want. But in my opinion, some of the best parts of the game is making your own fun up in the mountains, fishing and hunting. Red Dead allows me to fufill my dreams of being a god damn mountain man.

    RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2 foi sem dúvida o melhor jogo que joguei em toda minha vida de games. Nunca tinha jogado um game com uma história tão profunda e envolvente, uma jogabilidade excelente, diálogos memoráveis e personagens marcantes! Muitos easter eggs fantásticos! O jogo é sensacional! Merecia sim o Goty 2018!

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is best of 8th generation so far. Ultımately detailed open world, very good written story and storyline, memorable characters, remarkable ost, perfect gunplay and perfect open world activities. This game is pure art. Pure. One of the best games ı've ever played.

    I love the characters and the story that the game is trying to tell; the only critique I have with the game. is specific m mechanics and how in some specific missions they carry you the whole way and tell you exactly what to do.

    Almost everything about this game is amazing, the story is an incredible 60 hour journey which expands on the Van Der Linde gang mentioned in the first game (the game is a prequel.) Arthur is an amazing character and a much more interesting character than John Marston, his backstory could of been touched more but perhaps that is being saved for another game or expansion.

Arthur is an amazing character and a much more interesting character than John Marston, his backstory could of been touched more but perhaps that is being saved for another game or expansion. There is enough content in this game to last over 100 hours not including the ever expanding online mode. You can fish, hunt, collect, explore and experience the immersive open world scenery and random encounters. The soundtrack is also incredible and is a perfect match for the game. The gang's characters are all interesting in their own way and give you insights into their lives in random interactions in the camp. On another note, the last few hours of the story are incredible and leave you wanting more, despite playing the game for 50+ hours already which is always something that indicated how good a game is. The only downside I could find is that the movement mechanics feel a bit dated and are similar to Grand Theft Auto V, although the gun mechanics are great.

    Even though I do own a Nintendo Switch and Xbox One I do not consider myself only a very casual gamer, when playing a game 9/10 it will be a platformer along the lines of Mario while my Xbox One is mostly used for media consumption.

It's not to difficult but the amount of depth in here is unbelievable, it never feels like your doing the same thing twice and whether you just want to be hunter, like to go exploring the massive lands of the game or interacting with strangers that have interesting stories to tell all over the map there will be something for you here. This is why I believe this game is great for gamers and non-gamers alike. Now let me get back to my game ;)… Expand

    I really like the Red Dead Redemption concept.

    My only wish is that Rockstar didn't focus any of their time on the online mode, and instead went all out on the single-player. Also this game could've done with DLC.

But I must say not only did Red Dead Redemption 2 live up to these examples, but it blew them out of the way in many regards. From the characters to the world to even your horse, everything is connected to Arthur in ways you wouldn’t expect. While the gun play isn’t top notch, the other aspects of the game more than make up for this fact. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a must play for anyone whom values storytelling and character, and it’s a game that will resonate me for as long as I live. And that’s not an exaggeration.… Expand

    To put it as succinctly as possible: Read Dead Redemption 2 is one of the single greatest gaming experiences I've ever played.

    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.

    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.
