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.

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

I love Red Dead and put hundreds of hours into it and more on the remaster before Red Dead 2 but this is unacceptable. Why is it that the pc is an after thought that developers just throw crap at a wall and hope it sticks? The pc is what gave Rockstar it's billions of dollars from online and mod communities yet they give so little of a f$#% that it hurts their well earned reputation. Red Dead 2 is an amazing well built story with compelling characters and story beats that keep you committed and engaged throughout it's lengthy campaign. This is one of the most engrossing and beautiful experiences I have had on my Xbox one X but the pc version is a hot garbage fire that is unacceptable. You are made by your customers and destroyed by the same people who once held you in such high esteem. The years of love and childhood fond memories can only last so long before you start to get torn out of the past by just how greedy and disrespectful these devs have treated this community. There is noaccident that CDProject Red is held so high as the gold standard of how to treat your community and give them what you want yourself from a game. Once you put money above fun, exciting stories and strip single player dlc out for some boring "community" mods and games as a service nonsense you deserve everything said about you and seeing so many who loved you starting to leave. You make games for the love and enjoyment it gives you and everyone who interacts with it's world. People give their time, attention, and hard earned dollars for a product when there are so many games that they do not have to support or give you that valuable commodity. Step back and really think about how this affects your company and make a decision money or enjoyable enthralling stories that change the industry because you are almost a shell of the once great Rockstar.

The constant maintenance of your character your horse and the camp are tedious beyond belief. The controls are ridiculously convoluted and you can't stay out of trouble no matter how careful you are. The game crashes or locks frequently and everything you try to do is ruined by the weakness of your character. I fail constantly and as for objectives to get a gold, forget about it. I am so sad that the game I love so much has become one I freaking hate. The four points are for the beauty of the game and the things that they did right, everything else has ruined this game for me. I will pass it on to my son and see if he can wring any fun out of it and maybe show me where the fun is. Biggest disappointment since Mafia 3. Update, my son hated it too! Expand

    This ie best game I have played the last 15 years. I am born 1990 and I have NEVER played any game like this before.

    • The graphics is stunning with extreme details. For example, your characters pupils will dilate in darker environment. Horses balls shrinks in cold weather. Walking in snow or mud make footprints. If you hit someone, you may see them with a bandage around their head the day after. That kind of attention to details shines through the whole game.

    • The environment is living and breathing of life. This is not only the NPC:s. You can even see birds picking up fish, dogs playing in the mud, and even eagles hunting rabbits. The environment and the people is different depending on which state you're in.

    • The story is extremely well-written. There is indeed a few underdeveloped characters. But overall it is amazing: it is long, it is complex, and there is many ways to interact with the people in the story outside of the story itself. You really get to KNOW all the characters. The game's ending was very emotional and made me shred a tear.

    • There is lots to do outside of the storyline.

    • I was afraid that this game would become another ''responsive, accessible, fast-paced dumbed-down action game. Well it was not. The shooting mechanics and the animations are great. Not everyone's cup of tea though: this game is not the typical AA-title with fast-paced action and accessible gameplay. Shooting and movement is slower and more deliberate. You have to shave, and clean yourself if you want to look respectable. You have to clean your guns from time to time to keep them in shape. There is a lot of animations. If you have short attention span this game might not be for you.

    • The soundtrack is amazing.

    Summary: If this game does not deserve 10/10 I don't know which game that would. No game is perfect. 10/10 cannot therefore refer to perfection. There is simply NO OTHER GAME like Red Dead Redemption 2. It is innovative. It cannot be replaced. With the quality, and the fact that it is different, it will always stay close to me. This is hands down the best game i've ever played in my life.

"Red Dead Redemption 2" is an unrelentingly immersive, breathtaking experience from its unassuming first few minutes to its totally satisfying conclusion. It's intense, emotional, haunting and completely addicting to play. I haven't felt this in tune with a narrative, location or cast of characters in quite some time. There are bugs, yes, and some quirks to the game's honor system, but nothing ever eclipsed the sheer joy I felt every time I popped this game on and dove into its richly textured world. The performances are all incredible. The music is evocative. I nearly cried three times at a point. I don't know what else to say. Thank you, Rockstar. Bravo. Expand

The best part of this game is that there is so much to do. You can choose to run through the main missions or embark on the many challenges and achievements . The graphics are incredible and the map is huge. There are many things to find and plunder on the map. There might be something valuable in every structure. A hidden cubby hole might have $100 worth of stuff in it. Early in Chapter 2 I had explored and plundered about every corner of the map. I was careful to loot every dead body. Occasionally that caused me to lose missions but my wallet was always fat. Arthur's stuff was all pimped out.
    When you complete the main story line there are still things to do. Bounties, achievements, legendary animals if you haven't collected them. The first game's map enables in the Epilogue. I don't know what's on it yet. Some people criticized activities that are not mandatory.
    Clothing? Didn't bother with it. Gaming? I consider the games stupid and tedious. Treasure-hunting? It's not as easy as in the first game. I got tired of falling to my death and went to Youtube.
    A big negative is lack of fast-travel options and fast-travel to self-marked vicinity as in the first game. Travel was limited to named destinations.
    Also, path-finding issues and other technical glitches. Characters getting stuck forced abandonment of missions. Charles won't put the body in the wagon and just stands there, etc. Rains Fall knocks Charles off his horse so you lose the mission, etc. Because Charles won't re-mount. Control/button issues where the option won't function. Often you have to jiggle stuff and move around to get buttons to function and game play to proceed. That wasn't just occasional-that was prevalent. One time I got Charles unstuck by running into him. You can accidentally bump some one with your horse in town and suddenly have the entire town shooting at you. And then owe a bounty if you escape. It interrupts what you're trying to do. You will spend a lot on bounties in this game unless you want a constant price on your head.
    You can lose missions in a hundred different ways. Some times by following confusing or untimely AI instructions. I found that it was important not to mess with the controls until dialogue finished because it could cause a problem. Some times you can skip useless dialogue. Too often they won't allow it. Cut-aways can interfere with the flow of the action.
    Right at the end of the main story the audio started acting up. Sounds like hoofbeats and the whistle disappeared. Segments of dialogue became inaudible. This continued in the Epilogue.
    The gun play seemed to be clumsier than the first game and the Dead Eye less accurate. Dead eye marking was definitely made harder. Annoying to shoot people in the head at close range and having them get up again. Or when some one survives being shot in the middle of the chest or back with a high-powered rifle. I think it was taking 5 shots with the Mauser to drop some people.
    The AI characters really are stupid and easy to kill if you take your time. The only thing they have in their favor is surprise. Your character will always have superior firepower. If you were any good with your shooting in the first game killing your opponents in this game will be a piece of cake. Perhaps too easy.

    Pese a su prácticamente impecable apartado técnico y una gran historia y personajes, esperaba un poco mas de Rockstar en este RDR2, sobre todo en el aspecto jugable y estructura de misiones.

    - La historia esta bastante bien, no llega a los niveles narrativos de The Witcher pero te la crees, al menos en parte. Hay ciertos momentos que pese a estar en cierta medida justificados parecen un poco artificiales.
    El ejemplo mas claro seria el cambio de mentalidad de Dutch, ¿como puede ser que un lider nato pase de repente a un segundo plano? Me parece bien que se justifique mediante la influencia de Micah para crear una banda "mejor", pero no me creo que tenga peso suficiente para traicionar sus principios y a toda la gente que creyó en el. Se repite mucho la motivación del dinero, que pese a conseguir suculentos botines sigue necesitando más, sin dar ningún motivo real. Ademas es una precuela, ya sabes como va a acabar,

    Eso lleva a otro punto, la economia. De poco sirve entregar pieles si solo haciendo las misiones de historia vas a conseguir tanto dinero que al final no te lo vas ni a gastar todo. Y de este podriamos llegar a la situacion de forajidos que actuan como tal cuando le conviene al juego. Con un sistema de reputacion que no termina de funcionar.

    Arthur es un buen protagonista, pero ni de lejos uno de los mejores que se han hecho. Su estructura se basa en el clásico del chico que no le queda otro camino mas que el de robar. Esto no le hace mala persona "per se" ellos mismos reconocen que pese a ser forajidos "no son ese tipo de gente". Incluso los miembros de la banda hablan con Arthur diciéndole que no es una mala persona. Al final es en el que todos confian y este no les abandona.

    Su arco es bastante simple, cuando todo va bien sigue a Ducht, cuando este empieza a actuar de forma violenta y deja de lado a la banda, Arthur decide tomar su propio camino. Ya sea siendo bueno o malo. En una serie de misiones de reputacion que decidiran si eres buena o mala persona. Lo que hayas hecho antes importa poco vaya...

    - Jugablemente es donde tiene mas carencias: el juego ya es lento de por sí, si le incluimos gunplay realista y una falta importante de movilidad nos queda que en una situacion de tiroteo el jugador va con el pecho al descubierto, cuando seria mas conveniente que al entrar en situaciones de peligro adoptara una posicion mas agachada y menos expuesta a recibir un disparo. Ni las coberturas funcionan tan bien como deberian, funcionan peor que en la primera parte.

    - Ambientacion y apartado tecnico: aqui es donde realmente destaca el titulo. Recrea la naturaleza y la fauna como nunca antes se haya visto, con una distancia de dibujado que cuesta creer. Aqui es donde cazaras, pescaras y te pasearas por las ciudades y sus proximidades. Destacar los bien que estan hechas las tormentas, sobre todo el sonido de los truenos que es de 10.

    - Al final te quedas con el apartado tecnico y la ambientacion, jugablemente podria ser mejor, las misiones podrian estar mejor diseñadas, dando mayor libertad al jugador y la historia pese a ser buena no es de las mejores que he visto le falta profundidad. Es un juego largo y se hace aun mas largo debido a su ritmo lento, que en misiones no termina de cuajar pero cuando quieres pasearte un rato y contemplar el paisaje es fetén

    On my personal experience I think this game was built with love and dedication. It's pretty good if you like slow paced games. I liked this game mainly because of the storytelling that works like a movie or a book. The narrative is the strongest pro in this game, but being honest, at some point I got bored between Chapter 1 and 2 but the story and character developments is so well done. Which is why I think it is not perfect.

    The graphics are stunning even playing it in an original Xbox One. The frame rate doesn't look too bad because the worst case scenario would be the game playing at 24-28 fps in the cutscenes which makes it look more like a movie.

    One of the main things that keeps this game from being perfect is Online which is not so compelling or attractive as GTA Online. It may seem boring at times and that is a huge letdown but I feel that Red Dead Online is more of a plus than a main feature of the game.

    É um jogo sem alma, rockstar não foi tão criativa para desenvolver idéias novas para esse título, não tem um desenvolvimento bom na história e sem sistemas que evoluem durante a jogatina, é o mesmo do início ao fim, a justificativa disso, claro, é a falta de liberdade criativa pela proposta da ambientação escolhida;
    >época tediosa, jogo tedioso.
    ''Por que devo continuar?'' eu me pegava o tempo toda fazendo essa pergunta. Como eu não joguei o primeiro, a história pouco me importava e as motivações de conquistas não existiam, tanto em game, tanto fora dele com os sistemas da Xbox live.
    Todo esse lance cinematográfico dos trailers era de fato encantador, mas e na prática?
    Bastava testar e ver, nada funcionava direito, e eu não digo em relação aos bugs, e sim de como o gun fight só é bonito e nada mais, você pode literalmente ir andando em linha reta e matar cada um com um golpe de machado e assim será, sem desafios, sem diversão.
    O que sobra?
    Sim, apenas gráficos e detalhes do ambiente, realmente muito bem construído, é um simulador de screenshots, é a única maneira desse jogo ser minimamente interessante.
    O global illumination, Draw Distance, texturas, são perfeitos.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Trivial spoilers only. Hard one to review because some aspects are clearly 9-10 and others 5-6.
    I've waited until I'm about 85% through the main quest to feel confident enough to give an opinion.
    I've played games since the mid 80s and was looking forward to this one for many years.
    An overall score of 7.5 is what I was thinking and that is the about the average score here.

    The 2nd RDR takes a darker turn in the series, noir at times. You are definitely a bad guy (who does some fishing on the side). Some of the consequences of your evil ways punctuate a general trend of failing to get "the big one" score, your team winnowed through attrition, betrayal and a feeling time is running out. You might think this storyline would be ripe for an atmosphere of tension (so necessary for the reward of relief or success), but it just fizzles out.

    This is part of a general feeling of a lack of reward in the game, which is a central aspect of gaming entertainment and psychology. (There are some real high points early on, however).
    It also lacks the irreverent humor of the 1st Red Read (eg the "films" aren't as funny, no calls such as "what have you been eatin'! or the actually funny side quests such as "flowers for a lady"). Some interactive elements (button sequences or mashing, common in the earlier Walking Dead series) seem dated and mechanistic, begging for a puzzle. The gambling side games aren't bad, but max bet is $5. That is tough when you have a 1000+ in the kitty. Again, the option for reward is limited. As said by others, you can put away a load of money, but there is not much to spend it on, so thousands end up with nowhere to go.

    SJW infused themes are unfortunately present. First, the mandatory head nod to diversity - you have a mixed black Indian, also a Hispanic in your team, the remaining white males diluted down with various women. That is in contrast to what the real mix would have looked like in the late 19th C.

    I was surprised to see blacks in the area that seems like a take on a mountain town in the north.
    Boilerplate modern media/college conceptions of racism appear in the southern area and of course it is one way street of white on black, (as per the doctrine, though so contrasting to the actual direction of discrimination and violence nowadays).

    Only one bad black guy (a bad debtor) appears as a side quest versus manifold white ones. There is also a "special person" in your crew, an unscrupulous loan/card shark. He gets off lightly. Even still, usgamer has a hit piece crying antishemitizm tropes, with the obligatory hollowcost reference. Such are the offended times we live in.
    You of course are not racist at all, just a mere mass murdering felon, which is a type of criminal lower down on the SJW totem pole than utterer of racial epithets.

    There is an absurd SJW moral moment in which you sally forth with the black Indian mesitzo to deal with some sickos who shoot bison for fun, instead of just to eat. So, of course, you murder them and social justice is served. To cap it off, at any time in the game, you can at will go shooting for shytz and giggles. That gets me thinking, has anyone tried to run down and dynamite a rabbit or coyote?

    The main story itself opens strongly then plateaus, with the odd high point, such as a bank heist, but a huge number of filler-like sequential gunfights in the middle of the game become boring through repetition and the story thusly disengaging. It is a chore at 85% completion. That said, the game is not short and it took couple of weeks of solid play and exploration to get to this point.

    The voice acting is generally of a good standard, though that of Dutch seems increasingly weak, annoying and melodramatic as the game progresses. Maybe this was intended. I swear its a fat guy doing it.

    Outstanding graphics, about a 9 and some aspects a 10. Truly beautiful at times.

    The background music is professionally engineered and contributory to immersion. Negro spirituals add a certain mood, but are disproportionate to the times and gringo folky tunes would be more apt (first such one encountered around 80% of the way through the main story).

    The design and faults in the control system detract significantly from the game, otherwise overall the game would be hard to rate under 8. The inventory wheel interferes way too much to feel properly "in the game". Often you can't take the weapons you intend to into a fight, you get the wrong one (eg varmint rifle in a shootout!, or the games overrides your choices).

    Movement is clunky and a bit buggy at times, such as getting stuck (not common), but not uncommonly comes a need to hover a number of times to correctly loot a body or cabinet.

    Despite all the carping, playing such a long game to 85% percent completion is itself an indicator of a pretty good game, which this assuredly is, but it is well short of a 10. It probably remains the best of close to best of 2018 in a sea of mediocre titles

    Quick fire review:
    The graphics are great with such realism and detail tht is optimized for such weak hardware in todays age. So im impressed with very lil pop in tht I noticed in my playtime. Only graphical issue I noticed was shadow detail distance as ur moving about the world but its not obvious to the point of annoyance.
    The audio is beautiful and very immersive. Music choice is

Only graphical issue I noticed was shadow detail distance as ur moving about the world but its not obvious to the point of annoyance.

    The audio is beautiful and very immersive. Music choice is good, gun sounds are nice and meaty, movement, etc, etc sounds are really good.

    Story is pretty good, it reminds me of old 70s and older Western films where it concentrated on slow build up of characters, setting and scenes. Now honestly I find tht quite boring if it were a film, mostly bc of me being born in this modern time of speed, in entertainment.

    Gameplay is pretty slow, methodical and gunplay feels about almost the same as the 1st Redemption. Most of the ppl tht dont like the gameplay are just too used to fast-paced arcadey gameplay nowadays and consider this more slowpaced gameplay to "intentionally avoid the QoL of todays gaming", when tht is simply not the case. (albeit a few weird command placements on the controller) Now im not saying tht invalidates ppls criticism but it does show tht its just not the game for them. (or shuld I say dont hav the patience of learning something this complex for controller input, which is understandable) The gameplay u can get used to and it can feel a bit stiff but its still nonetheless enjoyable if ppl dont mind or enjoy the more slow, detailed gameplay.

    Edit: Forgot to mention tht it certainly isnt the best game of the year or generation. (it was overhyped) But its still definitely a solid game, from my exp and only had a few small frustrations with it.
    Not much in terms of replay value also. (grant it I dont replay many Open World games anyways, no matter how good they are)

    Unambiguously the best game of 2018. On a game at me almost 6 months left, already painfully there was no wish to pass it all at once. And so a game very much approaches under quiet passing, it does not hurry anywhere. It is felt in everything, beginning from gay being thrilled and finishing with a plot. As for a plot - it departs from canons of Rockstar Games here. The excellent beginningUnambiguously the best game of 2018. On a game at me almost 6 months left, already painfully there was no wish to pass it all at once. And so a game very much approaches under quiet passing, it does not hurry anywhere. It is felt in everything, beginning from gay being thrilled and finishing with a plot. As for a plot - it departs from canons of Rockstar Games here. The excellent beginning and the end of the game was very frequent in their previous games, and here the middle strongly sank in respect of direction, most was also with Red Dead Redmption of 2010. In the second part a plot uniform. Graphics on Xbox One X is amazing, it is possible to carp of course at artificial HDR, but the fact that a game goes to the native 4K most part of time laudable. In general RDR2 a bright indicator that video games not just a part of the modern art, and it is rather an a leader of the industry. RDR2 looks much better than the majority of movies of a genre a western. And the most important RDR2 it is made as it is should for the mass player in difference from GTA. Here 50% of time - riding a horse and what description of the real life it are. Artur the most ordinary person. The epilog very competently underlines that the sense of a game is simple and it is not necessary to show any great things or acts of heroes to make the best game of the current generation of consoles. It is possible to refer to minuses only management. It here з and just stronger reduces the rate of a game. 10 of 10, the best game of the last 5 years. Such strong emotions for the last 5-6 years gave me earlier only Uncharted 4 and TLOU. Expand

    Spectacular story. Amazing graphics. Good sountrack, but the rest doesn’t realyl fall into place all that well.

    People usually don't understand this game. This is not a game to finish in a couple of weeks, it can take months. Take your time, explore, do the challenges, find the treasures and secrets... you can spend hours just fishing legendary fish. It is a game to be along with for a long time and enjoy it throughout. Amazing masterpiece.

    Ещё один шедевр в копилку Рокстар.
    Красный Мертвый Выкуп 2 постепенно начинает набирать обороты в красоте и эпичности миссий. Красивые пейзажы, интересные побочные миссии и конечно же ограбления банков присутствуют.
    Играть обязательно!

    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.

    After 3 tries to finish this game I quit. I quit saying to myself this game is something extraordinary and worth finishing.
    This beautiful yet boring game Is nothing really revolutionary. Stale, repetitive missions, weak, spaghetti like main plot, dull characters and clunky rockstarlike gun play and controls.
    I'm really disappointed because visually this game is stunning but just bad

    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.
