    This is some of the best storytelling in videogames there is but despite all that it does come with it's own flaws and tedious elements that bog the game's pacing.

    For the first 4 chapters of the game i was completely immersed in the world and it's story but once chapter 5 arrived, i began to experience a huge disconnect from the story, thankfully it started to pick it's pace up once again towards the last 3 chapters of the game, unfortunately i cannot say the same about the mission design and structure.

    Playing missions exactly how Rockstar wants you to play them sucks all the fun, and this is one of the worst parts of the game.
    Do anything else but exactly what you're told to? Nope, Mission Failed.
    Attempt to find a creative way to sneak around in a stealth mission? Uh uh, Mission Failed.
    Try to experiment with the game's mechanics and find interesting and fun solutions that make the game more fun? You fool! Mission Failed.

    The linearity of missions becomes repetitive and really frustrating towards the endgame, creative missions become less frequent as you are subjected to shooting segments after shooting segments that it becomes less of a wild west cowboy simulator to a Gears of War/Call of Duty knock-off with broken aiming and a broken cover system that are somehow worst that the original.
    For being an open world game, it's linear mission design does not fit in as one that the world starts to feel more like a backdrop to the story campaign rather than a breathing world.

    The game's dedication to realism becomes it's own detriment, skinning an animal and seeing the attention to detail on the animations is novel at first but after the 30th time it starts to get annoying as you experience the downtime between the animation and gameplay, aspects like this really started to irritate me as the game progressed further and eventually i wasn't playing the game and the game started to play itself for me because it did everything for me, it aims my weapon automatically at the nearest enemy, it steers my horse for me and it stores my weapons on my horse, i'd prefer if the game at least required you to actually do something freely to not make it as repetitive as it is.

    By far the strongest aspect of Red Dead 2 is it's music, the battle themes are filled with action pumping bass and strings, the ambient chill music can make you forget all the tedious parts of the game and just make you focus on the incredible world there is to explore, and all the original songs just don't have a right to slap as hard as they do.

    Despite being all the issues i had Red Dead Redemption 2 stands as one of the best gaming experiences I've had in years, with such remarkable moments and greatly written characters that i can recommend this game to most people who are willing to go through all i've said.

    I was like the protagonist of a good western movie. It was a great experience both in terms of story, game play and graphics.

    the game is good but there is one minus: at first the horse impresses with its intellect. but then it infuriates. it constantly dumps you, constantly slows down especially on the rocks. but basically the game is good. I do not recommend it to those who do not appreciate the plot games and sandboxes.

    WOW! Graphics and Story wise ... Perfect! It is the most elaborated storey-line game I ever played. I played this game only because of the review. I am not cowboy style gamer, but this game is great! The only drawback is distances !!!!!!! Geez it takes forever to travel in horses :-)

    Brillante... lastima que se haga muy lento en demasiadas ocasiones.

    Lo he jugado en la Xbox one X y es sencillamente superlativo a nivel técnico ya que tanto los gráficos como el sonido son de otro mundo.

    I do believe though that the game somehow 'sabotages' itself a little bit - there's so much to do, it becomes cumbersome and it requires a lot of personal commitment if you wish to complete this game. This is true not only about RDR2 in particular, but most open-world games these days.
    Overall, a great game. A must-play for sure.    … Expand

    Probably the biggest game I have ever played in my life. Everything about it is fantastic and done with great care and detail. History is engaging, the world is alive, animals and artificial intelligence is compelling. Almost perfect!

    If you are a gamer or video game enthusiast you need to know this game and enjoy everything the developer has done.

    Amazing!

    Simply the best story i have ever experienced in a game, so well written and sad.

    The good: beautiful game, a wealth of items and options for which to spend your time.

    The mediocre: the story, voice acting, gameplay were all hit or miss for me. I applaud the undertaking, but it really was like you're watching a C- movie a lot of the time-- cool for a video game, but not necessarily how you were planning on spending your time.

    And now, the bad: There is very little autonomy. Most scenes, even the most epic, are just "press B really fast!" or "let's do a punching match!" (where there is little to no skill involved). You also *must* ride for 5 minutes at a time to get to some of these missions, even though your entire task is "stay near the other character in the story." When doing some random task like shovelling manure or bailing hay, you have to walk. Finally, they do give you a few options to make a decision "kill the guy/spare him," but they are VERY few and far between. Maybe a dozen in 60+ hours of storyline gameplay? I guess I'm spoiled by Skyrim/Breath of the Wild, which were the last two games I played a significant amount of, but I thought this game was very disappointing.    … Expand

The graphics, sounds, music, details, as well as the size and scope of the world that Rockstar has built here is unprecedented. Unfortunately, the game itself isn't all that fun to play. Firstly, there is a pervasive slowness and sluggishness across multiple aspects of the game. For starters, your character moves unusually slow, like he's carrying a refrigerator on his back. It also doesn't help that you spend the first hour of the game slogging through snow, slowing down your refrigerator-carrying character even more. Matters are made even worse when you spend the first four hours doing nothing but tutorial missions. Then the game assigns you boring and monotonous chores to do for your camp. The main storyline missions aren't all that exciting either as the lengths of these missions are often padded by the drawn out time spent traveling miles and miles on horseback. Sure, the scenery is pretty cool to look at once or twice, but by the 10-hour mark I was bored to tears. The missions themselves are ok at best, but there is an unusually high reliance on button prompts in order to perform, or really just watch, your slow character perform a unique action. This ultimately makes the missions feel like slightly interactive vignettes, rather than actual gameplay experiences. Outside of the main missions and the tedious side activities, there's a very limited number of things to do in this world. You can rob a bank, hijack a train, go bounty hunting, play some poker, and hogtie people and throw them off bridges. Unfortunately, once you've done each of these things a few times, the fun is over and there's not much more to do. It also doesn't help that this huge world is so low density and so it is mostly empty, inactive, and unexciting. Ultimately, RDR2 is a boring 1890s life simulator that emphasizes story, presentation, and the slow tedium of frontier life over making a truly fun gameplay experience.… Expand

    I bought this game at a very high price and also had very high expectations. However, I honestly didn't enjoy the game as I thought I would. Everything just seemed soooo slow and until chapter 4 & 5 I wasn't really enjoying myself. It felt like a chore. I felt relief when I finished the game and was very glad I got 90% of the money I bought it for..

    I believe it is overrated.

    I have never liked Rockstar productions. The GTA series is a downright failure in my eyes. RDR2 praised by many friends turned out to be little better. The game is pretty, the storyline moderately interesting, while the gameplay is a tragedy. The game tires me out so much that I play through it piece by piece. I need a week's rest for every hour of play.

    At a beginning it was stunning game for me, i was consumed by its enviroment for 10+ hours, then the engine started to look very familiar, game continues to be more boring and boring. Feeling that there is oportunities for you to interract with AI but when you do, its just meh.

    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.
