If only I could give Red Dead Redemption 2 a higher score that 10, I would. This is by far the best open-world game that has ever graced the face of Earth. No other sandbox can even dream of holding a candle to Rockstar's newest gun-blazing, incredibly detailed Western epic. I envy all of you, who are yet to embark upon this fantastic journey and discover all the secrets this game holds. Truly, I could wipe my memory clean just to be able to experience that world once again. A true gem of the most noble kind.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the perfect gaming experience, and what you were hoping for in the next iteration of the series. It has a rich story, deep gameplay, unrivaled visuals, and plenty of plains to explore.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a triumph in world-building, character craft and downright skulduggery. Being bad has never felt so good as Rockstar toe the realism line while still keeping their sharp, trademark tongue in cheek. It's the keen attention to detail where Rockstar succeeds and this outlaw prequel comfortably outperforms their best works and in time, I believe, will be regarded as a once in a generation game.

An emotional, thrilling tale told like no other, Red Dead Redemption 2 tells the story of one man’s pursuit of loyalty. Arthur Morgan, a wrong-doing but right-minded cowboy, raised by Dutch Van Der Linde after his parents left the picture. For over twenty years he’s been following Dutch blindly, and now maybe he’ll find out who the guy really is.

The PC version of the game is the best visual version. It has extra missions by way of treasure-hunting, strangers and bounties, among more, but it’s hard to quantifiably highlight these in a checkpointy way. Red Dead Redemption 2 is an experience; a journey of myriad ups and downs.

Red Dead Redemption's PC port isn't perfect, but it's playable now. Its flaws are more apparent a year later, and it never should have launched in the state that it did, but this is still a great game... provided you can run it.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece. No other game has ever tried and succeeded to capture a sense of a time and place long gone while also blending social commentary so well. The addition of a multiplayer mode that's a real step up from Rockstar's last effort makes Red Dead Redemption 2 unmissable on PC.

Deep gameplay at an unseen fidelity and attention to detail cement Red Dead Redemption 2 as Rockstar's newest genre-defining adventure. In spite of technical issues at launch, the PC version reigns supreme as the decisive way to experience the Wild West epic at uncapped framerates, obscene resolutions and incredible visuals.

The PC release of Red Dead Redemption 2 is without a doubt visually breathtaking to behold, but a wide range of issues at launch sour the experience of revisiting Rockstar's captivating Western.

RDR2 is one of the greatest video games of all time, and there is no doubt that PC is the best platform for Red Dead Redemption 2 because of huge graphics improvement.

Thanks to both its shocking cruelty and its awe-inspiring potential, this stunningly well-realised recreation of the Wild West is the first game world that truly mirrors our own. Rockstar’s latest playground is a place that’s equal parts brutal and beautiful, and somehow, like in our own reality, the weight of your decisions in this game world have just as much potential to delight you as they do to terrify.

Red Dead Redemption 2 only gets better and better as you progress, and although I'm not entirely sure Red Dead Redemption 2 is the game to beat in 2018, I do believe it is at the very least in the conversation.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is an accumulation of Rockstar Games' expertise in building open world games, but has seen them push the genre in a way that might not have been expected from them.

It transcends the open-world, outlaw-focused games like Red Dead Revolver and Red Dead Redemption to become so much more.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is likely to go down as the best game of the generation. Rockstar has outdone themselves, delivering one of the biggest, richest, most engrossing open world games ever made. Whether you're an action fan, RPG fan, open world fan, or just want a great story, RDR2 has something for everyone.

Red Dead Redemption 2 feels like Rockstar's new GTA 3 as in it takes massive leaps towards a new era of open-world gaming the likes of which have never been seen or at the very least executed to this level of quality courtesy of the borderline photorealistic graphics and remarkable game design.
