Rate top gamesA bland, western grind. Red Dead Redemption 2's cinematics and atmosphere are enough to draw you in for a solid few hours of first-time gameplay. Though well before the midway game point, the missions begin to become tedious and repetitive - "go to X point and talk to X person before riding to X point and shooting X". Although there is enough detail in this beautiful western world to keep you busy exploring for days - the clumsy controls, broken law system, tedious hunting and crafting and dull traveling become a nuisance and makes we wonder if this game is as polished as it should have been. I've been a massive Rockstar Fan since the very first GTA and have played GTA V multiple times on multiple consoles but there is something really lacking in the main mission quests and character progression, by the midway point I was really pushing myself to get through the main story and had little difference between new game Arthur and End Game Arthur (besides most of the characters becoming frustrating and unlikable - WHERE ARE YOU LEENNAAY?). I really have to question the review sites who have posted this as being almost perfect - it's an 80 out of 100 MAX.

The story is a masterclass in character development, with a rich cast of characters that are all well-written and expertly voice-acted. The game's themes of loyalty, betrayal, and morality are explored in a nuanced and thought-provoking way that will leave players thinking long after the credits roll.
The game's mechanics are also top-notch, with smooth and intuitive controls that make everything from horseback riding to gunfights feel satisfying and realistic. The online multiplayer mode adds even more replayability, with various activities and challenges to keep players coming back for more.
Overall, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterpiece of a game that is well worth the investment of time and money. Its immersive world, gripping story, and expertly crafted gameplay make it a must-play for any fan of Westerns or open-world adventure games.
