    It’s an amazing game with good story and graphics. Honestly played this game a total of three times just to get different endings and complete it 100%. It’s very realistic and fun to play. The soundtrack is beautiful. Recommend this game 100%

    The game itself plays similar to the original, with an enormous, unfolding open-world map. There is so much to do in Red Dead 2 that you can extend the 60 hour completion time to easily 80 hours or more.
    Where this particular game perhaps impresses most though is in its deeply involving, heart-filled story that lives with you long after the last bullet is fired.

    Character work on display here is immaculate. The world is beautiful with tons to do and explore. Only flaw is the story's pacing which falters often.

    Great game. Wish the gutting of the animals cut scene be optional. The surround is very good.

    Creo que Red dead redemption 2 esta muy sobrevalorado probablemente el juego mas sobrevalorado de esta generación pero aun asi no se le quita el merito de ser un juegazo.

    El carisma del personaje es brutal, empatico y una historia dramática, no le doy el 10 porque llegan puntos lentos algo aburridos. Pero le permite resaltar el nivel de trabajo y detalle de este jugo

    Probably one of the best open-world games I've played, and with some of the most well-written and well-realized characters to exist in a game of this size. People here seem to be divisive about the linear story, but I prefer it so every story beat can maximize an intended impact as opposed to letting the player "get the good ending."

People here seem to be divisive about the linear story, but I prefer it so every story beat can maximize an intended impact as opposed to letting the player "get the good ending." Although it's an RPG, I think it's a telling sign that they crafted Arthur as the protagonist, rather than having you create your own character. You do have control over whether Arthur is a good person or a jerk but the overarching and heartbreakingly inevitable story is more akin to a season of television. The RPG elements are more catered to exploration and progression rather than control over the story. It makes the world, the characters, and every interaction feel spontaneous and lived in. The open-world made the game immersive, but it was the compelling story that kept me caring enough to continue playing.

    My biggest gripe is the controls haven't really improved since the last game. The cover system is clunky and honestly worthless, and I didn't enjoy how much slower the movement feels compared to the first. The game compensates with a plethora of options for weapon and horse management, though I think stowing the rifles on the horse ended up more of an annoyance than a commitment to realism.

    I also felt that the narrative was just a little too long, both the main story and the epilogue that follows. I understand the need to give players their money's worth, but I felt that the amount of side activities and exploration was more than enough to give the players 40+ hours of gameplay. While the story itself never really dropped in quality, I think a sense of impatience grew stronger because of how it cycles the same gameplay, shootout after shootout. There's a great sense of escalation to the main story, but the final chapters tend to drag out the same point. Similarly, it's a joy to discover how expansive the epilogue is, but it feels 4 hours too long and softens the narrative catharsis that had just happened moments before.

    Still an amazing game even if it kind of overstayed its welcome. It's an improvement over all the other Rockstar games for the most part, and I'll still be playing even after all the missions are done.    … Expand

    Enjoyable gameplay and amazing graphics, combined with phenomenal voice acting... definitely worth checking out. The story is compelling, although the invincibility of certain characters (given they appeared in the original) definitely killed the tension in some parts of the story, but overall an amazing game.

    Gráficos incríveis, bons controles, história sem palavras, um mundo vivo, personagens bons e bem construídos. porém muito conteúdo do jogo foi removido e ainda existem resquícios desses conteúdos dentro do jogo, e tem muitos bugs. Já o online é uma porcaria, pois possui servidores horríveis, muita microtransação, faz tempo que não tem conteúdo novo, e muitos bugs.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Отличный сюжет.Особенно смерть Мики и то что Артур заболел Туберкулёзом это вобще повергло меня в шок. Графика даже на xbox one s на телике 1080 даже вблизи отличная а если ещё и отойти подальше то это будет не графика а реальность. Также в игре просто офигительная карта, много оркжия много возможностей а также много ситуаций. Исследовать картв правожо интересно, миссии интересные и не скучные.… Expand

    Uno dei migliori giochi della generazione, una storia coinvolgente seppur raccontata in maniera molto lenta e talvolta può annoiare il giocatore, soprattutto spostarsi da un punto all'altro della mappa non succede praticamente nulla. Comparto tecnico che lascia a bocca aperta anche su xbox one standard, con level design molto accattivante e qualità generale molto elevata.

    Germany: Einfach eine tolle Odenwald mit einer tollen und langen Story aber es ist leider nicht Perfekt z.B. das Polizei such System es ist finde ich sogar ein Rückschritt zu GTA 5

    - great narration

    - good story

    - beautiful scenery

    - interesting characters

    - fun missions

    The Bad:

    - too much horse riding

    - not enough fast travel points

    Story is phenomenal. The combination of graphics, characters, world and even the gameplay make the experience feel so real. The combat itself is pretty simple however it was good enough to keep my interest for the duration of the story.

The game has 200 + hours of content and a very long amazing story in which you play as arthur who is part of a gang of gunslingers and folks who are escaping from a massacre in BlackWater. The story is more interesting to look at when you are analyzing the characters as almost all the characters are 3 dimensional and they arent made for arthur to progress throughout their game, they have their own backstory, behaviour and interactions etc.. Throughout the game, you engage in convos and missions as arthur and learn more about him and learn some activities such as fishing, hunting, fighting etc. The story is a masterpiece. But the gameplay is very slow and movement of arthur feels heavy as the game is very realistic. Looting bodies and items take time( Basically Witcher, skyrim with long 5 - 10 seconds animations) its fun at first, but the realism gets frustrating after a couple of hours. The controls in this game are way too complex and it pissed me off sometimes as you can lose honor if you press the wrong button and accidently 'disturb the peace'. The horse riding gets more boring after some time( There is a fast travel system but you have to unlock it by purchasing from camp ledger). But apart from that, the game's detail is amazing and no other game can beat this game for now. For eg: if you don't attack a grizzly bear, it doesn't attack you back. Horse testicles(famous detail in the game) shrink and loosen depending on temperature, The mud on your body after falling on a puddle dries off faster at hotter temperature. The game is overall incredible, other reviewers are complaining about how you get no freedom and even i am disappointed with that but its rockstar, so you have to deal with linear story. I hope they gives more freedom with their next title because that would be much better and i hope they give different endings and storylines for different choices rather than one ending with slightly different changes. Like I said, you should definitely buy the game if you want a highly detailed game with amazing story.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A game with this many high points should not exist, but RDR2 kills it every time. The first time playing through the whole game can be a bit annoying but if you go back after understanding all the major plot points, you grow a better appreciation for the game. Rockstar has created a fantastic open world with so much detail and realism. The characters at your camp all feel like real people and the story is incredibly gripping with its pacing and tone. the gameplay is my only complaint because for most of it you the player are not doing anything. The horse steers itself, the game aims the gun for you and the 5th chapter is a low point in the whole game. However, even with those small flaws, RDR2 is fantastic just on a story and technical level. This is one of the best stories ever written in a game.… Expand

    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.
