    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Red Dead Redemption 2 had the potential to be one of the greatest open world games of all time, but like many modern triple A games, it didn't know when to stop.

    The first half of the game is an absolute masterpiece. Every mission is jam packed with inventive design, interesting dialogue and delightfully fun gameplay. The story is beyond engaging, and is brought to life by extremely relatable and likeable characters. The open world is filled with a seemingly endless amount of exploration opportunities, fun side missions and ridiculous detail.

    This sounds magnificent, but then the second half starts. Missions are now about going from location to location and being subjected to one shooting gallery after another. The story itself takes a massive dip in quality as all the characters you came to love in the first half either are gone, or feel like they aren't themselves anymore. I guess you could argue that this dip is actually more of a thematic choice, but even if it does make sense, it was hard to stay engaged when most of what I loved about the game was being taken away.

    I still recommend Red Dead Redemption 2, however. That first half, the open world and the writing are so good, that you could easily look past the shortcomings of the second half.

    Game is obviously awesome in many aspects, however, after some time playing it I find it boring and frustrating. Most particularly traveling from one place to another is painful I know that after some time you can actually use quick travel option, but you can only do it from your camp.

    Definitely the best ever game I ever played. A lot of realistic details, many possibilities, amazing plot with large number of twists, charismatic characters and atmospheric soundtracks. Open world is huge and filled with a lot of random encounters, meetings, people, who always need your help or probably just want to rob you... And there are so many of them.

    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

    A game that was expected a lot, but still didn't bring much. What sets it apart from other open-world games made so far, is the exceptional photo realism, Rockstar has managed to create the most realistic and colorful world in the entire gaming industry. The whole map lives and breathes. Lots of animals, plants, streams, as if you are in the right world. Fairytale and cinematic!

The whole map lives and breathes. Lots of animals, plants, streams, as if you are in the right world. Fairytale and cinematic! Praise also for the great physics done.
    Unfortunately, in addition, the game failed to surpass the previous part. The story is quite slow, and does not provide many choices to the player, nor many different options for passing the mission. Open-world in the gameplay segment looks like a classic scripted game. The controls are very sluggish and inaccurate. The protagonist moves strangely and slowly. There are many side missions and events, e.g. hunting, but all those missions become extremely boring as the end of the main story approaches.

    SRB:
    Igra od koje se mnogo očekivalo, a koja ipak nije donela mnogo. Ono što je izdvaja od ostalih do sada napravljenih open-world igara, jeste izuzetna foto realističnost, Rockstar je uspeo da napravi najrealniji i najživopisniji svet u čitavoj gaming industriji. Cela mapa živi i diše. Mnogo životinja, biljaka, potoka, kao da se nalazite u pravom svetu. Bajkovito i sinematično! Pohvala i za sjajno urađenu fiziku.
    Nažalost pored toga, igra nije uspela da nadmaši prethodni deo. Priča je dosta spora, i ne pruža mnogo izbora igraču, kao ni mnogo različitih opcija za prelazak misije. Open-world u segmentu gejmpleja izgleda kao klasična skriptovana igra. Kontrole su veoma trome i neprecizne. Protagonista se čudno i usporeno kreče. Postoji mnogo sporednih misija i dešavanja, npr. lov, ali sve te misije postanu izuzetno dosadne, kako se približava kraj main storija.

    Welcome to the old west cowboy, I've been playing video games for over 17 years and I can easily say that we are facing one of the biggest and best made titles in years, before the facts of red dead redemption 1 we return in the form of epilogue of this in the year 1899 next to the midwest, where every detail polished, from a horseback ride through the mountains, through the woods, whereWelcome to the old west cowboy, I've been playing video games for over 17 years and I can easily say that we are facing one of the biggest and best made titles in years, before the facts of red dead redemption 1 we return in the form of epilogue of this in the year 1899 next to the midwest, where every detail polished, from a horseback ride through the mountains, through the woods, where the whole environment has a why, the amount of things to do easily makes it a re-playable game, which in every minute you spend inside it, will be a wonderful experience, the soundtrack, the atmosphere with songs like Time stamps: that's the way it is, create one of the most iconic scenes of this generation of video games and the affection which we have for our character.
    In the gameplay aspect, we find a comfortable interface and controls suitable for any port, either console or pc, with actions found in other rockstar titles, where in this we can have activities or iconic moments within the story, the handling of weapons or the actions of our character when shooting, reloading, hitting, make it an incredible experience, and that each bullet, depending on where you shoot has its own animation.
    When we talk about graphics, let's be clear that 8 years of development since the first red dead redemption have been made clear, giving an exquisite atmosphere of this world full of life, every step you take, at any point on the map is literally a model to take a picture that when you see it you can not just pass by, but you stay to appreciate every detail of the landscape, from the mountains to the horizon, to the mud with the rain falling.
    When we talk about the narrative section, we find a story full of characters that one will not easily forget, seeing how every step you advance in the story you see their progress, either for better or worse, noticing changes in their decisions and that every step they take has weight in the story, seeing how our protagonist Arthur has more difficulties to continue forward and the feelings that causes us to see that progress, makes him a character with a purpose, either for better or worse with this new honor system, which will make every decision to help or not, has weight.
    I do not have much more to say about this masterpiece, since every player who has had the opportunity to play this title can not not recommend it and say what it means to him this title, the technical section and a story complemented to perfection, make it one of the best developed games without a doubt.

While this game has its fair share of cons, those cons are like comparing sentences to all the words in the biggest of graphic novels, this game has so many details that I still find out about every day after all the 1000 plus hours I’ve been playing this game ever since I bought it 2 years ago. I feel so jealous of all the people who are playing this game for the first time because they are in for gaming at its finest. Half of the negative reviews of this game are just people that are angry because of,”too much horse riding,”or,”the prologue being too long.” In conclusion Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece on a level that only a few games out there can achieve the level of and I would definitely recommend it for anybody who hasn't played it even if you aren’t into westerns.

    The gameplay is perfect as well. Grounded and "slow" gameplay was needed to capture the essence of a World crafted to be more realistic than any other game before it.

It's a Rockstar game and naturally it has a great story to boot, only this time does the world feel way more interesting to explore and way more interactable. You actually have things that you can do in the world besides riding your horse or driving your car from mission to mission, an element that has been sorely lacking in previous titles which made it worth playing more than once for me, which is a feat that has NEVER been achieved in a previous Rockstar game in my opinion.

    It also has all of these beautiful graphics and meticulous animations, which may be a downside for some people but I was willing to put up with it. The attention to detail is also INSANE, though maybe not worth achieving at the expense of people who worked on the game.

    But of course it ain't perfect, I'm not sure any game is, I think the key issue has to be with the missions; They're fine the first time around, but after playing them again or dying once you start noticing how restrictive they are structured, there's also a LOT of them; they sacrificed probably 8 or 7 years off of their worker's lives to make a chapter dedicated to an island, there's also a lot of dumb trailing stuff and too many "collect **** to do the heist mission" missions.

    So yeah, for future titles (that are never going to be made), they can afford to make the main storyline shorter and in return make the missions and set pieces more substantial. As much as I enjoyed the open world "crafting and collecting things" concept I think there's ways of making that feel more substantial and a bit less mundane. Also, don't torture people in order to make a game.

    Another game from Rockstar. That sentence means a lot when it comes to open world games, a studio that always surprises its fans and breaks records with their titles, a beautiful story, average controls, awesome graphics... there are very few sequels/prequels that can surpass the original the way RDR2 does.

The slow, intense and deep motion of the storyline makes it the most immersive game of all times.

    Where do I start. First of all the gameplay is almost perfect, animations are smooth, gun mechanics are perfect and overall its just a good gameplay experience. Finally the story is one of the best if not the best story I have ever played in a game, it is both emotional and thought provoking.

    Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best video game to ever be released. It will hold up for years as a landmark in storytelling and will go down in history as one of the most beautifully written stories.

    This game has overall the best story mode, and most visually appealing gameplay I’ve ever seen. Full of plot twists and pick-your-own routes, this is a truly deep, as well as exiting and saddening masterpiece. Grand Theft Auto 5 has the edge over this game for online, but this game contains the true king of stories. Great work rockstar, 9 years well spent.

    and it was worth it!...well...kind of...
    The game is good, maybe even great but definitely not excellent because it has so much potential but its like there is less freedom than the original RDR! lots of small problems that makes the game un-fun at some point...still played it for 800 hrs so what do i know?

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. It is a true beauty. I can see why Rockstar spent 8 years make this game. The story is so deep and even once you have completed all 6 chapters + the epilogue there’s still so much to do and explore. Whether your thing is to be an outlaw, an epic gunslinger or a gambler, I have never put my controller down to say “this game is boring.” NEVER. The story is so well built and it has a lot to it. It was quite sad considering there were numerous deaths of certain gang members which include Sean, Hosea, Lenny, Ms Grimshaw, Micah, Kieran, and sadly the main character, Arthur. You can tell that Rockstar did a great job at making us form a deep connection with the game, and Arthur, which led to an extremely sad ending of Arthur dying either from being murdered by Micah, or of natural causes (likely because of his Tuberculosis.) Since Red Dead Redemption 1 the game has developed so much, the story, graphics, and map. Rockstar was very creative with “extending” the story backwards. It would be so cool if RDR3 was also “extended” backwards and maybe we could play as Dutch. It would be so cool to see you pick up all the gang members as Dutch including little Arthur and John. I would also love to play the Blackwater massacre that would be so cool, and I would like to see life before the mountains and the gang members who died IN the mountains. An extension to the map would be cool even though it’s already fairly large. It’s surprisingly smaller than GTA V’s map but that’s because it seems larger since it takes longer to get everywhere on horse compared to a car. My final thoughts? I can just see why this game is $90 AUD. Rockstar put so much time and effort and there’s still people complaining about no GTA 6 even though they don’t realise that rockstar has been working on this beauty for all those years. Expand

    What many games struggle to create is immersion. Leading the player to completely believe, feeling and enter the universe that the game tries to create. Red Dead Redemption 2 does that better than any other games I have played.
    It is not easy to merge the player with the character he's playing but Red Dead Redemption 2 those that great. Most of the credit for that is the world-building
    What many games struggle to create is immersion. Leading the player to completely believe, feeling and enter the universe that the game tries to create. Red Dead Redemption 2 does that better than any other games I have played.
    It is not easy to merge the player with the character he's playing but Red Dead Redemption 2 those that great. Most of the credit for that is the world-building that has been made. There are so many details in the world that are astonishing, from the incredible graphics to the animals' sound and behavior, everything feels way too realistic for a videogame.
    In a rapidly changing America, where there is no more room for outlaws, Arthur and the rest of the crew are trying to find time and money to reach for a better place and spend the rest of their time living by income.
    I played a lot of games and in most of them, I struggle to remember most of them. Take Dark Souls, for example, one of my favorite games; I can cite the name of Solaire, Sigmayer and Lautrec easily... but then I struggle to remember or even find other characters, but I can easily tell you all the names of the Van der Linde crew. As the player progress in the game, bonds with the characters are created, and not only with Arthur Morgan, the protagonist of the story but with all its main characters.
    The game is very fast-paced: the story, the gameplay, and the character development are fast which fits well with the specific timeline Rockstar games decided to take for this episode of the Red Dead series.
    Another great aspect of the game is the music. Both the soundtracks and the original songs are incredibly well performed and fit the atmosphere so well, making the game much better in parts where it kinda fell down.
    In fact, I found myself spending too much time riding a horse instead of doing something fun like shooting, and most of the quest requires you to ride a horse before doing the fun part, which feels like an unskippable cutscene that nobody wants to see.
    That is the main problem with this game. There is too much filler between fun shooting parts and tedious horse riding. One of the most fun parts was Chapter 5 because for almost its entire duration it was fighting and shooting, but storywise it was horrible. Chapter 5 doesn't make any sense to the previous part of the story and has no meaning whatsoever; it could be just completely deleted and the story would still make sense.
    I also don't like how the story continues after a certain part. In the most climax moment, where everything is set and done and you are certain that is the end, the story just keeps going for no reason other than letting the angry and sad player have what they have been lusting for. It's the exact opposite of what The Last of Us 2 did and I think Rockstar didn't want to risk having to deal with a lot of angry players like Naughty Dog had to, even though it meant to make a great game less great.

    RDR2 where do I start? let's start with the things I love. I truly love the world it feels like a real world with people living in it you have so many things to discover and interact with. I love the characters they all feel like real people. The best parts of the game are just hanging around the camp and seeing the gang interact with each other. Also, I truly loved the soundtrack. ThisRDR2 where do I start? let's start with the things I love. I truly love the world it feels like a real world with people living in it you have so many things to discover and interact with. I love the characters they all feel like real people. The best parts of the game are just hanging around the camp and seeing the gang interact with each other. Also, I truly loved the soundtrack. This game is fantastic but it just has too many flaws to be called a masterpiece. For example, the combat system is just too simple I only died 5 times during my whole playthrough. There are many ammo types yet they serve no purpose because the weakest ammo type could kill an enemy with one shot to the head and believe me it's this easy I went through the whole game getting headshots like I was robocop. Furthermore, the weapon variety is lacking in this game. Moreover, I hated the horse controls tapping A for two hours is not a great gaming experience in my opinion. I hated how linear the missions were the game gives you no room to do what you want and that destroys the replayability of the game. Furthermore, once you have lots of money you have nothing to spend it on. RDR2 excels at making stories with great characters and amazing villains yet most of the missions are just following this guy to this place and then killing 50 guys. RDR2 gives you one the best sandboxes in gaming but the missions are the most linear garbage I have ever seen it reminds me of call of duty campanes. I truly hope rockstar will do better with their next game but for now, we will make do with this flawed masterpiece. I recommend this game to every OpenWorld enjoyer. However, if you hate open-world games this game will not win you over. Expand

    Red Dead Redemption is an amazing story-telling masterpiece, that showcases a beautiful and intense story of redemption and strife. While the gameplay certainly has its flaws as unnecessary realism can often lead to the gameplay becoming too boring and repetitive, I believe that this is one of the best games of our generation.

    What does loyalty mean to you? Does anyone deserve a redemption? What does it mean to be a good man?
    These and other questions are masterfully answered in RDR2, a game where the narrative should not be taken lightly. One of the most spectacular protagonists that I have ever seen, with a moral dilemma that will be a matter for the player to solve it. It is never too late to play it. 10/10

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Simply amazing! it's wonderful how the game makes you feel like you're Arthur Morgan, when the game was announced I was afraid they'd opted for a new character instead by John Marston, but in a few hours of gameplay I already had the feeling that there was no better character to choose, a giant affective bond becomes with the course of the game, with his death, it was not possible to hold back the urge to cry, I got to lose heart from playing with so much affection and appreciation that I created with the character, but that was crucial for the depth and quality of this beautiful story.
    Now about the gameplay, so detailed and good quality that I think since my childhood where I started to appreciate e love games I've never seen something so relentless, different weapons, different types of play, strategic, aggression but the main thing is the morale meter, it's impressive how the population and mainly the end of the chapters is altered by its morals it manages to do from the audience that played the red dead revolver, red dead redemption 1 and even started and discovered the game by the two crying with the end of the game and by the conclusions and lessons that the game can take to the player's life.
    About other characters, WOW, MAGNIFICENT, WONDERFUL, the detail that rockstar put in each of the gang members especially Arthur, John, Micah and of course Dutch, is something that at the moment I'm writing this review I still haven't found a word that describes it, and it's beautiful to see the affection put into each side quest character and even npc's, it's something impeccable. About Graphics, man, it's hard to talk about this, the only thing I didn't like maybe the only thing about the game is the female characters' hands getting inside their clothes, but the game is so brilliant you can barely stand there, if we've already seen how the GTA V dog graphics have aged so well, I believe that only RDR2 has what it takes to be able to live with these graphics 2 times most.

    Conclusion:
    Gathering Gameplay, Depth, Detail, Graphics, But mostly history makes this game Was and With 99% certainty It will be the best game I've ever played in my entire life.

Необычная повествовательная кривая. В других играх, в которых герой со временем растёт и развивается, «прокачивается», встречает новый подход в рдр 2 не только по сюжету, но и через геймплей. Здесь ты идёшь по наклонной вниз и с тобой по наклонной идёт всё: банда, судьбы людей, эпоха ковбоев, главный герой, даже сам игрок, как бы странно это не казалось. Пытаясь, как и сам Артур Морган, хоть как-то искупить свои грехи, стать хорошим человеком, попытаться сделать хоть что-то хорошее и оставить после себя добро, а не только зло. Когда ты до последнего хватаешься, как и герой, за жизнь, чтобы что-то в ней изменить, помочь кому-то, прожить жизнь лучше, чем до этого. Можно сказать, пытаешься выпросить у Бога хоть какое-то прощение за все содеянное, у всего мира, у близких для Артура людей. Но все рушится прямо на глазах и остаётся только путь искупления и принятия подходящего тёмной тучей конца. Изумительный пример, как через геймплей можно дополнить вглубь и вширь философскую идею произведения, сам сюжет. Я с ходом игры лишний раз осознал, что делать плохие поступки (которые влияют на карму) как раз плюнуть. Убил ради прикола прохожего, ограбил кого-то для своих алчных целей. Весело и беззаботно. А делать поступки хорошие стоит реального труда. Чтобы равноправно поднять карму от обычного убийства прохожего фермера, нужно сделать что-то стоящее, как минимум, времени. Даже прикол с рыбалкой и отпусканием рыбы обратно в воду занимает несоизмеримо больше усилий и времени, чем достать револьвер и пустить кому-то пулю в лоб. Про другие аспекты игры даже говорить не стоит. Все и так знают, что это технологический шедевр в плане графики, что это САМЫЙ (!) проработанный открытый мир за все время, который живет сам и в котором, самое главное, хотелось бы пожить самому. Про внимание к деталям маниакальное, что отстреленная веревка на повозке с дровами (сам факт что ее можно отстрелить говорит об этом) в итоге приведёт к тому, что дрова по физике начнут с обоза падать, приведя к каким-то последствиям, на которые живой мир игры реагирует. И таких мелочей буквально тысячи.

    Игра достойна считаться настоящим произведением искусства.

    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!

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.
