The Dude Abides Red Dead Redemption 2 Review
Feb 27, 2025
I've been gaming a long time (like since the 80s long) and what can I say?
This is, so far, without a doubt the greatest video game I have ever played. I would go further to say it is quite possibly the greatest pieces of entertainment and art I have ever experienced.
Honestly, I laughed, I cried, I experienced every emotion it's possible to have. I explored so much of RDR2s world. I found something many great things and missions. I marvelled at the beauty of the world created. And when I was done, I have never felt more satisfied with my experience of any game, film, book, or any other artwork you can imagine.
Complainants? For some it may be a bit easy, it's not a hard game. But for me that's perfect! Some may find it slow. But when the world created is so beautiful, who cares if you're just riding on your horse for 10 minutes? Controls can be clunky, and that I will admit. I think everyone who plays the game will punch their horse at least once.
But it's not often I spend over 200 hours on a game. I did so on this one happily, and will definitely come back to it in the future!
