Red Dead Redemption 2 review
Exceptional
by xXWoodinatorXx

Red Dead Redemption 2 is the greatest video game ever made. I’ve never been more immersed in a game than in this wonderful western world.  The story was fantastic. Arthur Morgan is the best character a video game has ever had. The visuals of this game were spectacular (minus a few character models that weren’t bad, but were not great). The sound is great. The level of detail in this game has never been done before, whatever game is second place isn’t close.

Some people complained about the controls or feel for the game. I did not. The game makes you take deliberate actions but I found my Arthur Morgan was a badass gunslinger who didn’t have difficulty completing his tasks. Some people complained that this games pacing (specifically the opening) is too slow. I did not. I think the slow beginning forces you to pay attention to the incredible detail this game has to offer, and it does it in a way where you just think you are discovering things on your own.

This game took ~45 hours to complete and usually I am fatigued at that point and just pushing towards the finish line. I wasn’t fatigued. This game kept me fully engaged and entertained for that long, and it barely has any rpg mechanics. I wasn’t grinding for the next perk or upgrade or piece of equipment that makes my character better and gives me a sense of accomplishment. I was buying Arthur a sweet jacket and trimming his beard. I loved every minute of it. I don’t know how they pulled that off.

Final Score: A++

Red Dead Redemption is the gold standard, the epitome, the finish line for every game manufacturer out there.
This is the most exceptionally well-built game I have ever played in the past 3 decades of my gaming life.
Heart-stealing story with tears worthy ending. You literally become the character - Morgan and Marston - you play.
There are no bugs to be found. None. The graphics, schematics, special effects, lightning, gun fights, horse rides, terrain, map, shadows, heck everything is just perfect.
The game's length is like sweet spot, neither too lengthy nor too short. The side quests are all special treats.
And. That. Music. Man. So relaxing and pleasing.
I'm not sure how they pulled it off, but Rockstar games have overdone themselves with this one.
If you are into gaming and haven't played this, you aren't into gaming. Simple.
Thank you RDR2 devs for this gem of a game.

Ending lowkey made me cry… genuinely a beautiful game that shows you just how insane story games can be
I think this has to be the only game I have ever played that got me feeling emotional towards the ends when {spoiler} dies. (you know who). 

Honestly one of the best games I have ever played. 
This game I've ever played the main character was so relatable and so rich and deep the graphics were amazing which even stands its ground to this day it's a must-player for everyone the only thing I didn't like was the combat which was too easy and kind of boring
10/10
