Red Dead Redemption 2 Reviews
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a fantastic homage to the classic Western cinema, delivering an adventure of amazing scope. Though, at times, it has an irritating focus on realism.
Rockstar have pushed out the boat in terms of every single system at play in this game, from the amazing world itself - which is one of the best looking games, with some of the best looking effects and atmospherics, to the level of detail on the characters and physics simulation for clothing and other materials. This is what I really call a Next-Gen game, and it pushes the bar so high it's going to take a while for the rest of the industry to catch up to this one. The AI is fantastic, for every single entity in the game. From the townsfolk, to the gunslingers, gangs, animals, and tiniest critter -- it's all working madly to bring this world to life. Enemies won't rush at you blindly, unless they think you can be flanked, or that's how they're feeling in terms of the fight. Mostly though, they'll use cover. Wolves will hunt in packs, cougars are ambush predators and they hit and run...
Red Dead Redemption 2 does a really good job at keeping you busy, and you’re rewarded even if you just wander throughout the vast wilderness and experience the random events.
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.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly a technical masterpiece and a new high watermark for cinematic storytelling. Whether players will enjoy playing Red Dead 2, however, will depend on how accommodating they are to Rockstar’s strong design choices. These choices prioritise immersion and realism over pure fun and will be off-putting to some. But perhaps we need to consider that maybe fun wasn’t the goal here; these mechanics were crafted to pull players into the world. After more than 70 hours with Red Dead 2, I had embodied and become Arthur. His choices were mine. Viewed from that lens, Rockstar has succeeded in giving players an unprecedented level of agency. Despite some gameplay quirks, I would wholeheartedly recommend Red Dead Redemption 2 as a must-play to all fans of video games. After all, isn’t escapism the very reason we play video games?
To Red Dead Redemption 2 είναι από τα παιχνίδια που κρατάνε, τουλάχιστον μέσα μου, ζωντανή την αγάπη μου για αυτό το μέσο. Είναι ο λόγος που πιστεύω ακόμη στο single-player. Είναι ο λόγος που θέλω να ανοίξω την κονσόλα μου και να ταξιδέψω μόνος μου σε έναν κόσμο πολύ μακριά από τον «δικό μου». Είναι λόγος που ψάχνω, μαζεύω, διαβάζω, παίζω βιντεοπαιχνίδια. Γι' αυτά τα παιχνίδια κύριοι αγαπάμε αυτό το χόμπι. Για αυτές τις εμπειρίες. Αν υπάρχουν δέκα κόκκινα κουμπιά στον εαυτό μου, αυτό το παιχνίδι πάτησε τα έντεκα από αυτά.

Ladies and gentlemen, it's true after all. Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the best open world titles of current generation. And if you come around to the way how the story is told, then you'll experience one of the most emotional narratives in history of video games. However, was anyone expecting anything else?

Rockstar Games has created another genre defining game in Red Dead Redemption 2
As far as the narrative itself, it’s brilliant and terrible. It’s epic and overlong. It’s moving and predictable. Inspiring and exhausting. It is an achievement in video game writing, acting, directing, and motion capture. It will win awards. It will be remembered long after the game itself is rendered unplayable by the advance of technology. It is also gratuitously self-indulgent, derivative, and too goddamn long.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is going to stand for a long time, I think, as the height of achievement in building huge virtual spaces for gamers to explore. The level of detail at this scale is staggering, even as I find myself unable to ignore how much required overtime went into making things happen, and how many of these details – like horse testicles ascending in colder weather – took real human work hours while actually doing little to flesh out the game world. But it’s impossible to deny what a beautiful, sad, huge, and remarkable thing Rockstar and its many employees, past and present, have put together.
Red Dead Redemption 2 not only developed an ideal protagonist named Arthur Morgan in an ambitious framework but enriched the experience we had in the first redemption. Red Dead Redemption 2 benefits from a lot of smart and wonderful details that maybe less than 1 percent of players would notice them, but there are minor problems that affect the majority of players

Now that my journey is over, though, there’s a part of me that misses that tedium. I want to go back and hunt all the animals, explore every mountaintop and winding river. There were so many little easter eggs that I’ve missed in Red Dead Redemption 2, and I want to take my time to find them all. Maybe it’s Stockholm syndrome. Or maybe Rockstar has built one of the most realistic depictions of life itself.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a staggeringly diverse open world video game that proves Rockstar Games is filled with skilled storytellers and engineering wizards.
Red Dead Redemption 2 has its fair share of problems, but as a package, there is no denying that Rockstar has made a solid game and one that will be remembered.
We stand in the face of a unique experience to the extreme.

It is possibly the best open world that you can visit, held back by a main story that's a bit too archaic. On the whole, it's still highly enjoyable, so I would still highly recommend you dig into it. You'll definitely get your money's worth.
It is impossible to describe the magnificence of this title in just a few words, but Rockstar has shown that there are still companies out there that are not willing to sacrifice the quality of their games to release more numbers of them. The experience that is being offered here is so pleasure, adrenaline and emotion infused that it is very hard to find a similar game in recent times. Love, Hate, Sacrifice, Death, Life, Survival, Laughter, Treason, Loyalty, Beauty, Ugliness and Cruelty, and whatever that you may think of that would make a game great are packaged in a game named Red Dead Redemption II. Even if you are not a gamer, do a favor for yourself and try this title out. Rockstar has once more broken the boundaries of gaming and sets new standards for it. and due to this, we can easily name Red Dead Redemption a "Modern Epic".

Red Dead Redemption 2’s pacing might get to some players, that’s a given. The combat can feel a little wonky at times too. The overwhelming attention to the simple things might get the better of some players. Then there is the horse AI. But when all is said and done, this is a quality experience that I am glad to have played and found closure after so many invested hours. I can only fully recommend RDR2 to gamers who want a thoroughbred entertainment experience. That said, it comes with a cost of requiring some effort from the participant. Something players should most willingly provide.
Probably you’ll not even realise you just spent hours exploring, hunting and visiting cities, talking to people to study their routines. You’ll decide if to raid, to steal or if to buy a ticket to enjoy a show in the theatre. You’ll get a new haircut at the barbier shop, you’ll get new clothes, maybe after a warm nice bath. You’ll be kind with who need help and you’ll get a reward for that. You’ll make chaos, and the bounty on your head will grow up, or maybe you’ll get money catching criminals instead. You’ll feel the difference between mud, water, snow and any other kind of ground under your feet. You’ll ride your horse in many different weathers, pushing your body strength to its limit. And, after a long journey, you’ll back to your camp to rest, you’ll sit next to the fire, listening women singing and dancing.
