    Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game which is heavily pushed by it's characters that make this depiction of 1899's America much more immersive, the game relies both on actor performances and set pieces to bring this wild west tale come to life, the campsite where all these unique personalities reside and come to life sells the experience even more, seeing them interact with each other, goRed Dead Redemption 2 is a game which is heavily pushed by it's characters that make this depiction of 1899's America much more immersive, the game relies both on actor performances and set pieces to bring this wild west tale come to life, the campsite where all these unique personalities reside and come to life sells the experience even more, seeing them interact with each other, go around their day to day lives and seeing their circumstances makes the events of the story all the more memorable and interesting.

    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.

    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 :-)

    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.

    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!

    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.

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.

    NEGATIVE:
    - The controls are very clunky
    - You kill many people (and animals) out of bad luck (and you get in trouble because of that)
    - Missions fail a lot, because of.. random reasons..
    - You are forced to do things, which you want to avoid

    Peguei o jogo no dia do lançamento, joguei por muito tempo e amei, foi o melhor jogo que joguei na minha vida, não tenho palavras para explicar o quão bom era esse jogo. Até o dia do lançamento do modo online, que porcaria foi aquela??? Joguei um pouco e dropei o online, porem depois de um ano, no lançamento da DLC ''moonshiners'', voltei a jogar, decidi jogar serio para ver se não ficava legal depois de um tempo, e acabou que consegui me divertir um pouco, mas nem tanto, decidi dropar novamente, e novamente com a vinda da nova DLC, decidi voltar a jogar... QUE MERDA QUE ESSA EMPRESA FEZ COM O JOGO????????
    DESTRUÍRAM O MODO ONLINE, E ISSO ACABOU POR AFETAR EM CERTOS QUESITOS O HISTÓRIA.
    Resumo, minha nota pro história é 9,5 e pro Online é 0, somando e dividindo por dois, a nota dessa bosta pra mim é 4,5.

    Este juego tenía todo para recibir mi 9.5, y realmente era mi sueño poder dar esta calificación, tengo alrededor de 650 horas en la historia y 75-100 en línea, así que sé de lo que voy a hablar.
    Tomé el juego el día del lanzamiento, lo jugué durante mucho tiempo y me encantó, fue el mejor juego que jugué en mi vida, no tengo palabras para explicar lo bueno que era ese juego. Hasta el día del lanzamiento del modo online, ¿qué diablos fue eso ??? Jugué un poco y lo bebí en línea, pero después de un año, en el lanzamiento del DLC '' moonshiners '', volví a jugar, decidí jugar en serio para ver si sería genial después de un tiempo, y terminé divirtiéndome. , pero no tanto, decidí dejarlo de nuevo, y nuevamente con la llegada del nuevo DLC, decidí volver a jugar ... ¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿???
    DESTRUYERON EL MODO ONLINE, Y ESTO TERMINÓ AFECTANDO LA HISTORIA EN CIERTAS PREGUNTAS.
    En resumen, mi calificación de historia es 9.5 y en línea es 0, sumando y dividiendo por dos, la calificación de esta basura para mí es 4.5.

    This game had everything to receive a 9.5 of mine, and it was really my dream to be able to give this grade, I have around 650 hours in history and 75-100 in online so I know what I'm going to talk about.
    I took the game on launch day, played it for a long time and loved it, it was the best game I played in my life, I have no words to explain how good that game was. Until the day of launch of online mode, what the hell was that ??? I played a little and drank it online, but after a year, at the launch of the '' moonshiners '' DLC, I went back to playing, I decided to play seriously to see if it would be cool after a while, and I ended up having some fun , but not so much, I decided to drop again, and again with the coming of the new DLC, I decided to go back to playing ... WHAT THE HELL DID THIS COMPANY DID WITH THE GAME ????????
    THEY DESTROYED THE ONLINE MODE, AND THIS ENDED AFFECTING HISTORY IN CERTAIN QUESTIONS.
    In summary, my grade for history is 9.5 and for Online it is 0, adding and dividing by two, the grade of this crap for me is 4.5.

    У этой игры было все, чтобы получить мою оценку 9,5, и я действительно мечтал получить эту оценку, у меня около 650 часов истории и 75-100 часов онлайн, так что я знаю, о чем буду говорить.
    Я взял игру в день запуска, играл в нее долгое время и мне она понравилась, это была лучшая игра, в которую я играл в своей жизни, у меня нет слов, чтобы объяснить, насколько хороша эта игра. До дня запуска онлайн-режима что это было за хрень ??? Я немного поиграл и выпил онлайн, но через год, при запуске DLC «самогонщики», я вернулся к игре, я решил поиграть серьезно, чтобы посмотреть, будет ли это круто через некоторое время, и в итоге я немного повеселился. , но не настолько, я решил снова бросить, и снова с выходом нового DLC я решил вернуться к игре ... ЧТО ЗА ХОРОШО, ЧТО КОМПАНИЯ СДЕЛАЛА С ИГРОЙ ????????
    ОНИ УНИЧТОЖАЛИ РЕЖИМ ОНЛАЙН, И ЭТО ЗАКОНЧИЛОСЬ ВЛИЯТЬ НА ИСТОРИЮ В ОПРЕДЕЛЕННЫХ ВОПРОСАХ.

    The game looks like absolute garbage on the series s, it's lower than 720p, the Series s is completely capable of Running at 4K 60fps Rockstar keeps getting more and more incompetent by the day.

    Red dead Redemption 2 is one of my favorite games of all time. This is because of the story, setting, and graphics. The story of this game is the best story that I've ever played.

The story of this game is the best story that I've ever played. It is serious at some points and funny and humorous at others. The storytelling is perfect from the cutscenes to little journal writings. The setting of this game works perfectly, the year 1899 is littered with old things like small towns and wagon rides for main transportation. But it is also filled with evidence of the industrial revolution. This fits perfectly with the story because if it was too modern the story of a small gang trying to make it in the world wouldnt work. The graphics of this game are the best I've ever seen. The amount of detail is insane. Sun shines through the cartilage in your ears, the water behaves like it should, and it just looks all around amazing. The online aspect of this game is fun but needs work. It is very hard to start off but is still fun to grind. There is so much to do in this game that it is one of my favorites of all time. Expand

    It draws you into a world that feels so real. It is filled with life and details everywhere. It is a slow paced game but that only helps to draw you into the atmosphere and take notice of all the small details that Rockstar have put into this game.

    The story is also very engaging. There is fantastic voice acting that gives the characters true personality and depth unlike anything I have seen in any other game.

    Graphics are great, the lighting, clouds and weather effects makes for some truly magnificent scenery. I have used the photo mode a lot.

    I'm also very impressed by the wonderful music. It is not the typical western music cliche you might expect, but rather fresh new music with just that hint of western that makes it fit perfect to the game.

    The controls are typical Rockstar. They work just fine for me.

    It may be that there are examples of games with better graphics, better gameplay, etc.. and people feel that this game does not deserve 10/10 because of this. But for me the total package is just so far ahead of anything else I have played. It is deeply enjoyable and the rating cannot be anything else than 10/10.

    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.
    And with Red Dead Online

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly a masterpiece. When you get into the story for the first time, you will notice how impressive the graphics are. The visuals and views from some points are absolutely s running to look at. The Protagonist, Arthur Morgan was introduced in an unfamiliar but really clever way and when I advanced in the story, I felt a strong bond with him. Micah Bell, the Antagonist is quite hatable as a character but he might be one of the most well written characters ever in Games. The story doesn't let you approach missions in a creative way but the game certainly has many unique and cool missions, like flying to a prison with a balloon to rescue John. Other characters like Sadie,John,Dutch,Hosea,Charles and Lenny are memorable. Everything feels alive in the world, but the lack of normal fast travel ( you have to place a camp and then you can normally fast travel ) was not a catastrophe but it should be easier. The ending never felt satisfying for me, but Arthurs Death was executed in a really solid way. It felt different playing as John, but it still was a great Epilogue ans killing Micah and his boys was satisfying. The thing I loved most in the Epilogue is that you could feel Arthurs presence even after his death. The funny things are the early game horse crashes where you literally fly off when you barely brush something at high speed. The Customization in this game is crazy, there are a lot of clothes to buy for Arthur and they are even Temperature Based Outfits, this is honestly great, Hats off to Rockstar! You even have to watch your Weight in this game, it is crazy( in a good way ) ! The Inventory management is good, but I think that it was a bit messy and could have been better. The Gameplay is great and really fits into the Universe of Red Dead but it is a little outdated. And holy smokes this game has an intense amount of detail! The Guns Sound different when in the Mountains and when in the Wild, and there are many more details which are great!

    Verdict: 10/10. A Masterpiece in Storytelling. The Characters are memorable, the world is beautiful and feels alive, the Protagonist and the Antagonist are both really well written and the graphics are absolutely beautiful. The Amount of detail is crazy in this game and the Temperature Based Outfits and Weight too! While the Gameplay might be outdated for some, I was fine with it because it fitted perfectly into the Universe of Red Dead Redemption 2! Its Inventory system is a bit of a mess, but this game is undoubtedly a Masterpiece I recommend to everyone to play!

    RDR1 was a great game with a protagonist you really connect with. I enjoyed it. TLOU1 was a really great game with two protagonists you really fall for.

    RDR2 is my all-time favourite game, all-time favourite story and all-time favourite protagonist. You feel everything that Arthur Morgan feels, right up to the end of the story. I expected great things from Joel and Ellie in TLOU2. I couldn’t be more let down.

    These two franchises are an example of what happens when you choose story over all else; and of what happens when you choose agenda over story.

    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.

Although it's an RPG, I think it's a telling sign thatProbably 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." 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.

    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.
