    Uno de los mejores juegos que he jugado en toda mi vida. Arthur es un excelente personaje, incluso mejor q Marston en el primero juego. La narrativa, historia, ambientación, música. Todo es perfecto. El final es sublime.

    Awesome game, imprescindible in our collection. I played the One S version and it looks perfect on a 4K HDR TV. However in One X looks more better, but in One S is perfect with the reescaled 4K.

    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.

The story is exciting, humorous, and tragic. Crying at least a couple of times through this game is a real possibility.

    The gameplay can seem a little slow and methodical at first, but eventually you get into the intentionally lazy pace and it gives you time to appreciate the gorgeous sights around you.

    This is a beautiful game, especially on the Xbox One X. The graphical detail is astounding. If you’re playing on 4K HDR, there are HDR settings in the menu, but they’re not perfect. The lighting is muted in cinematic mode, so set it to gaming mode and you’ll have to push your white levels up pretty high to get a good balance.

    While the game is impressive, it isn’t perfect. It comes pretty damn close though. A year after launch and I have not played it again since my first run through, and I haven’t played the online multiplayer since the day it launched. You’ll have to read another review to find out how that is going now. This is a single player game first. If you enjoyed Red Dead Redemption, I cant imagine you not liking this game.    … Expand

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

    Игра могла бы быть во многом и лучше чем она есть. По сути она является слижком дотошной - очень много деталей, очень много внимания к деталям. Это одновременно плюс и минус. По поводу прокачки лагеря это просто скушный фарм денег. Конечно атмосфера вытягивает данную игру, диалоги , история, местный говор и т.д.

    A perfection, a masterpiece, work still on progress, many bugs have to be fixed. But the open world, the missions, the script, the characters, the online make this game the best game of 2018 and one of the best game of this decade and History. We love rockstar for that.

Now The Witcher 3 comes close as I love that game as well. But Red Dead Redemption 2 stands alone for me, as the greatest gaming experience of all time.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This abomination of a video game cannot be enjoyed at all. I don't even know where to start with this awful freaking piece of junk. The game plays itself and is so easy it could be played on a wiimote with its such basic controls. You can't play a mission without doing exactly what it says. When you come out of cover all you have to do is shoot and the opponent is dead. It has such a slow start and the rest of the story isn't interesting until someone dies. Not to mention that it is a disappointment compared to Red Dead Redemption (2010). The controls are clunky and the online feature is impossible to play without getting shot within 30 seconds of respawning and that isn't the community's fault, that's the games fault. The side missions are impossible to play without getting bored at least once. The honor system does nothing except change the way you freaking die. Arthur's voice is annoying and his character isn't compelling unless you watch multiple youtube videos of some quotes without context. Those youtube videos make Arthur look like a good man when in reality, every mission ends in a shootout. That brings me to my next point, the missions are literally all the same. If you skip every cinematic, then there's a shootout. If you don't skip every cinematic, you are super bored up until the point where you have to murder a bunch of lawmen, innocent people, honest working men or degenerate scum. This stupid sixty dollar waste of plastic that has no replay value and in a word is poopy . The story is so repetitive that i could summarize it by saying it's stupid bandits that make awful decisions and rob people so they can try to go to a Caribbean country to evade the law. In conclusion, this is just an unnecessary mess of a console game that you don't need to play. (I know my points are all over the place but as I said i don't know where to begin with this game.)… Expand

    While the online mode is abysmal, and the story mode is very linear, Red Dead Redemption 2 has some of the best sound design, graphics, physics, musical score, storytelling, and voice acting of all time.

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

The characters are amazing, the story is gripping, the details are awesome... And of course the graphics of this Red dead Redemption 2 are so stunning that i'd dare to say that it is at the top of this generation... The game is just gorgeous. However, the game is not perfect. Some secundary missions are dull and some of the tasks you've to do to get the 100% either, in adittion, in despite of the map is huge there is a big part of it empty; with nothing interesting to do. But the worst part of the game it's clearly the online mode... Which has nothing to do with other Rockstar games like Grand Theft Auto.… Expand

    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. 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.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Nunca he sido fan de RockStar, su más grande IP GTA no ha sido mucho de mi agrado salvo el mítico San Andreas. Pero este juego simplemente hace lo contrario de GTA donde vas haces y deshaces sin mayores consecuencias es un caos total.

    Como el mismo título lo dice es redención, Arthur Morgan tiene un desarrollo como persona que hasta donde recuerdo nunca vi en ningún juego de ningún genero ni siquiera en novelas gráficas, y es por lo mismo que es un juego de RockStar que no esperaba esto, la historia de cómo un hombre paga el precio de sus acciones pero se da a la tarea de proteger el futuro de sus seres queridos al ver que el mismo no tendrá oportunidad de ver un futuro para sí mismo, sin quejas ni lloriqueos asume la responsabilidad. Nunca había soltado una lagrima en un juego y nunca espere que fuera RockStar quien lo lograría.

    poco que hablar de lo demás es RockStar ellos se toman su tiempo con sus trabajos para que sean perfectos así que en gameplay, gráficos y desempeño todo es perfecto.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 has something for everyone. The main story is beautifully crafted, and never seem boring.

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.

    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.
