Critic Reviews for Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption on Switch is a straightforward port of 2010's masterpiece with no added bells or whistles for a rather high price tag. If you can get over that, this is a game we highly recommend digging into, especially if you've yet to experience it. Rockstar's Western epic holds up surprisingly well, its story is as powerful as ever, its knockabout action still feels great, and it looks and plays perfectly well on Nintendo's console. Multiplayer has been cut, which is a sore but understandable excision, and we'd really have liked to see effort put into adding gyro controls or touching up the graphics a little, but it is what it is. This is a proper all-timer ported successfully to Switch and, if you can stump up the cash, you'll have a great time here regardless of the lack of TLC.

Red Dead Redemption is an exceptional game, and its PC port more than delivers, offering a well-optimized experience even for less powerful devices. Even so, it is missing some substantial additions or improvements after so many years of waiting.

Red Dead Redemption is really enjoyable on PS4 and Nintendo Switch. After thirteen years, the Rockstar classic holds up like no other, and these adjustments are more than enough for a very satisfying experience. Many of us would have liked something more, but for both nostalgic and new fans of the saga, this port is a fantastic opportunity to get into the boots of John Marston.

It is a pity that more effort has not been put into the conversion, because the original RDR is still a masterpiece. Even with the flaws, it is worth revisiting.

It is indisputable that Red Dead Redemption is a masterpiece, a superb western and one of Rockstar's best games. If you haven't played it, you're going to enjoy it in a big way. But at the same time, other factors, such as price or the absence of major improvements, slightly cast a shadow over what should have been a great debut.

Finally, after fourteen years, Red Dead Redemption also arrives on PC. The title has aged very well, unfortunately this conversion brings with it countless technical problems.

The silver lining here is that now the game is finally freed from the cage of old hardware. And that's a great thing.

Red Dead Redemption is an exceptional game that manages to capture the spirit of the Wild West. The incredible sound design and enthralling narrative are highlights of the adventure. Although it runs perfectly well on the Switch, the lack of an online mode and no additional content is disappointing. The high price point is contentious, however, this is an exquisite open-world adventure that shows Rockstar at its finest.
