It’s an huge, outstanding piece of art – worth the hard-earned cash as well as countless hours that are needed to get to know at least some of the attractions of Rockstar’s rendition of Wild West. For those who put story first – the biggest virtue of Red Dead Redemption 2 is that it sets the stage for RDR 1 and does it wonderfully. [13/2018, p.40]

Amazing not only for Western lovers. No other game has probably offered so many options to express yourself in the open world, and at the same time did not have such an interesting, rough and moving story. A magnificent experience, with a slightly slower start. [Issue#291]
The first new game from Rockstar for this generation of consoles doesn't disappoint, it is as impressive as you hoped it to be.

One of the best games I've ever played. The story, characters, writing, open world are all amazing and some of the best in gaming in my opinion. A worthy prequel to rdr1 that makes the events of that game hit even harder than they already did before. The sheer level of detail and realism in the game is outstanding which made this game really ahead of its time so much so that even almost 8 years after its release many games are still struggling to match it and that will likely continue for many years to come. There also aren't many games that come close to its story and how well its characters are done with so much depth and emotion added into it, the writing is honestly just too good. Even though you can definitely still criticise certain aspects of the game, the rest of it is so well done that I think the many positives clearly override the few negatives. One of the best games ever made. MASTERPIECE!!

Una obra maestra del videojuego moderno, que prioriza la inmersión y la narrativa sobre la velocidad, ofreciendo una experiencia única e inolvidable. Historia emocional y profunda. Mundo abierto extremadamente detallado. Personaje principal brillante (Arthur). Realismo e inmersión total. Apartado técnico sobresaliente. Puntos débiles: Ritmo muy lento. Controles pesados en ocasiones. Menos "libertad arcade" que otros Rockstar

It is undoubtedly a well-crafted game with a lot to do and a lot to explore. However, every single mission is preceeded by actually getting to the starting point which takes minutes at a time. This just isnt for everyone. I found myself bored multiple times during the campaign but the game really is about exploring, with the campaign being secondary.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is a magnificent open world game and one of the greatest games of all time. Its world offers unmatched attention to detail, the combat is excellent, and the story is among the best in a AAA game.

Rockstar Games has outdone itself again with Red Dead Redemption II. The up-close portrayal of the outlaw Van der Linde gang’s unraveling is a compelling companion story that blends seamlessly with the original game, and depth and breadth of the open world is a technical triumph that every gamer should experience.

There was never any doubt that Red Dead Redemption 2 was going to be good, but this is something special. A masterpiece that many will be talking about for decades to come.

It raises the bar in almost all areas to a new level, which will probably be impossible to beat for all competitors at least in this generation. Red Dead Redemption 2 is another rock star masterpiece and an example of what modern video games are capable of, both narrative and staged, but above all, technically capable. The best game for this console generation so far.

RDR2 is one of the best games of recent years that gives all the other popular “sandboxes” a thorough ass-kicking.

Red Dead Redemption 2's evocative, often beautiful sense of place exists insofar as it is still convenient to the player, which harms some of the desperation and hardship the game means to convey.

Gostei só que não é meu tipo de jogo favorito demora muito as coisas acho realista demais e na minha opinião jogos tem que ter um limite de realismo se não começam a ficar chato minha opinião

Simplesmente perfeito em todos os aspectos possíveis, se destaca muito na História absurda até em missões secundárias e na jogabilidade perfeito também

The gameplay is monotonous and fails to immediately immerse users. The scenery and buildings are not particularly beautiful either
