Red Dead Redemption 2 feels like Rockstar has turned a corner, but it might not be the corner fans were hoping they would turn.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar's greatest achievement to date – an epic Western masterpiece set in a phenomenally-detailed recreation of 1890's America. Top-notch acting across the board brings its beautifully-written cast of characters to life and the riveting central story is surrounded on all sides by an almost endless array of deep and satisfying side activities that serve to further ground you in the life and times of Arthur Morgan and the Van der Linde gang. A must-have title for your Xbox One.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on PC is an even better experience than it was on consoles. Now that Rockstar has ironed out the launch issues, PC is the premiere platform for the game. The framerate increase alone is an amazing improvement, and as long as you have the horsepower, the game is even more stunning than it was when it released a year ago on PS4 and Xbox One.

A gorgeous world with so much to explore awaits everyone. It's not without some faults, and those with older spec'd PCs may have trouble running this. If you've got the rig to handle it, it's a wonderful experience.

ed Dead Redemption 2 is a true colossus with an unbelievable attention to detail, who qualities shine through despite the technical shortcomings of the PC version. One of the most memorable titles of the last few years definitely deserves your attention, even if you'll find out it's not your kind of game in the end.

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 2 on PC is the definitive version of Rockstar’s Western epic. The game has never looked as good, nor played as well. This is one of the best stories Rockstar has ever told, even if their storytelling has become a little predictable, but that cannot take away from how exceptional the whole package is it.

‎Red Dead Redemption 2 is something we've never seen before on PC, it's really a next-generation game that makes us think about what's still to be achieved in the world of video games. It is currently the most 'beautiful' work at a graphic level that we can find, because there is nothing that looks better in a high-performance team. Rockstar has managed to achieve a graphic quality ahead of its time with this RDR 2.‎

Red Dead Redemption 2 breaks the rules of the games I tend to enjoy. Lower on my preference list are both life simulators and open world, yet I found myself thoroughly engrossed in what was offered.

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.

I'm quite sure that Red Dead Redemption 2 doesn't redefine the open-world genre, but it surely brings it to a much higher level. And it's not just through sheer size that it does that, but by combining writing, visuals, music, voice acting, and gameplay mechanics to deliver an engrossing experience that sometimes is better than the one in the real world.

Red Dead redemption 2 is the same console game but even better. This new version comes with a lot of exclusive content and very juicy improvements like playing at 60fps, new accessories for the campaign mode, an improved photo mode or the possibility to use mods. Unfortunately the optimization is not as good as we would like and we will have to wait for a patch that solves it. Apart from that, this is a real masterpiece and one of the best games ever. It would be a total irresponsibility not to play it.

Once upon a time people would overuse the word "epic", but it's a phrase truly befitting of Rockstar's brilliant Red Dead Redemption 2.

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.

Red Dead Redemption 2 on the PC is the top-tier version of the game. It's the Woodford Reserve bourbon when you're used to drinking Kentucky Gentleman. It will most undoubtedly look better than the console version and include all the gameplay that you would expect from the title, but the cost of getting it to that Woodford Reserve level is definitely a price only a PC elitist would understand and accept.

‎Red Dead Redemption 2 will be the first game in the series available for PC. It includes several graphical and technical improvements to offer a more immersive experience, as well as new bounty hunter missions, assaults on lairs and weapons, among other things. Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC also allows free access to the multiplayer world of Red Dead Online, which includes all the improvements we have been implementing and the latest content updates. That way, you can enjoy the full online experience, including the trades of the West and the specialized roles of bounty hunter, dealer and collector, in which you can progress to exclusive rewards.‎

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.
