    This is the second best video game I have ever played; Witcher 3 being the first. Red Dead Redemption 2 has a great story and an awesome open world. I truly felt like a cowboy and was sad when I finished the game.

    As a person who took his time to play through the whole game and wondered the world for a fair amount of time, I can tell RDR2 is definitively in my top 3 games of all time.
    But it is, by no means, an arcade experience, but almost a Post Wild West Outlaw Simulator :P
    . The story is great. . Graphics are insane even 4 years later. . The sound design is awesome, be it music, sound

    But it is, by no means, an arcade experience, but almost a Post Wild West Outlaw Simulator :P

    . The story is great.
    . Graphics are insane even 4 years later.
    . The sound design is awesome, be it music, sound effects or ambient sound.
    . Historical fidelity is on a good level. Including characterization and environment.
    . Rockstar attention to detail skyrocketed with RDR2. Everything is so lively and full of minutiae.
    . The immersion is huge with the realistic approach of gameplay. People complain about riding on horseback for too long, but this is the intent of the game. To show the vast and gorgeous vista, to make the transition between biomes seamless and to show how desolated was the US west at that time in history. The immersion through reality fidelity in gameplay is also visible in small actions picking up your hat on the ground when it falls and in mechanics like hair growth with the passage of time.
    . The characters are relatable, the interactions are great and they all seem so alive.
    . The emotion connection we feel for Arthur and few other characters is entirely on another level, even as the game struggles with the slow pacing of both gameplay and story progression.

    Well, I'm for from a professional reviewer and this got to be one of my first times doing this. I know RDR2 have it's flaws, but they are little and none of them interfere with the experience. I can even say that some of them them are necessary for the feel the developers wanted to convey to players.

    I finish saying that this game is a true masterpiece! Love it!

    Однозначно, одна из лучших игр десятилетия! Такого качества повествования и работы мира с потрясающей графикой и реалистичными анимациями опередившими время, мы ещё долго не увидим, возможно даже от самой rockstar

    Red dead made me cry I feel that enough should tell you my opinion of the story. Arthur is an amazing character dutch a. wonderfully written character and somehow all the gang characters are unique it feels like you have a tight connection with each one. Combat and gameplay are lots of fun bounty systems feel like improved GTA wanted stars the map is beautiful amazing graphics every actionRed dead made me cry I feel that enough should tell you my opinion of the story.

Combat and gameplay are lots of fun bounty systems feel like improved GTA wanted stars the map is beautiful amazing graphics every action has a small and big impact. This game seems perfect but nothing is perfect the witness system is a bit of a pain but sometimes good and Saint-Denis are the worst don't ride your horse there but the thing I dislike the most is the unintentional crimes you do by just a mis-click I killed once killed my horse that way but. Those complaints are a grain of sand compared to this masterpiece Expand

    I don’t know what they thought in the past but this is the most detailed game ever done, you can see this when YT channels do graphics and details comparisons, they use RDR2 as the standard, 4 years later and no game can compare.
    Ps: I’m sure people was so frustrated waiting for gta 6 and started hating this masterpiece instead of looking at “arguably the best game ever” the right way

    Breathtaking visuals, deep arcs and rewarding payoffs with a unpredictable story. Arthur Morgan is one of the most brilliant protagonist to game and rockstar has made red dead 2 so full of life and things to do

    Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't a game that should be taken lightly. This is true in most of Rockstar's long list of games, which often overwhelm the player with their sheer size and mechanical depth.

    This is one of the best games I’ve ever played, one thing some people may not like is that it is very story driven and the mechanics aren’t anything special but the immersion of the game plus the enjoyment I had playing the story feels like enough for me to give it the top spot on my must play games I am willing to bet that no matter what kind of game you like you’ll probably still loveThis is one of the best games I’ve ever played, one thing some people may not like is that it is very story driven and the mechanics aren’t anything special but the immersion of the game plus the enjoyment I had playing the story feels like enough for me to give it the top spot on my must play games I am willing to bet that no matter what kind of game you like you’ll probably still love this game story alone Expand

    This project impressed me more than any game I've ever played. Everything is excellent in this game: starting from the best graphics, a well-developed and detailed open world, pleasantly slow gameplay, and of course ending with a heartwarming plot with excellent characters.

    I've been through quite a few games, including those with open worlds, but the way I was impressed by the study of the open world in this particular game, there is simply no comparison with anything. The way everything is detailed makes the world of this game truly alive and unique. There is something to do in this world (especially if you like to play games to the holes), do you want to fish? Yes, no problem, here's a fishing rod for you, different baits for different types of fish, and in addition tests and catching legendary fish. Go hunting? Here are hundreds of species of animals for you, make clothes from their skins, sell meat to a butcher and hunt legendary individuals. There are also a bunch of different tests that diversify the usual study of beautiful places and attractions. I personally got stuck going through trials related to gambling.

    The plot and characters in this game are also gorgeous, at one point this game begins to justify the word "redemption" in its name, and real male tears will come from the finale of the game (unless of course you liked the whole game in general). There is no point in describing the plot and characters in reviews, since I don't want to tell everything, and anyway, I can't understand the whole point from the review. You just need to take it and play. I can only say one thing, the main character - Arthur Morgan, has become one of my favorite protagonists in games in general.

    In conclusion, I will say that I can safely recommend the game for passage, since there are no similar projects with such a genre and study of the world, except for the first part. If you want to experience the wild West, which is becoming less and less wild, spend dozens of hours doing tests, hunting, fishing and just exploring the beautiful world, then you are definitely into this game. 10/10 definitely

    this game is great, a lot of people say that Grand Theft Auto V has better characters, story, graphics, etc, but everything is improved in RDR2 with an amazing story from start to end and the only big flaw is that I would only experience it for the 1st time once.

    This is one of, if not the best game of all time, the graphics, the story, and the overall design of this game make it outstanding.
    Get this game immediately.

    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.
