Rate top gamesRed 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++

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.
Wow just wow! I think I played the story 3 times and I am still enjoying it. It`s just perfect the characters, the story, the protagonist! In my mind Rockstar made a masterpiece in gaming! I can recommend it to anybody who wants to play a modern masterpiece of a western game!
i once played poker for 4 hours against an NPC, i lost. However i did shit myself during the poker match and that was enough to let me enjoy the beauty that is this masterpiece 15/10
An incredible feat in gaming. Truly a masterpiece. I've never played a game that was so consistently and deeply immersive. The story is great, the characters are fantastic, the animations carry weight, the gameplay is slow but that only helps the immersion and cowboy sim feel of it. Pulling from influences in western movies, traditional American folk tales and folk music, the Hudson River school of art, and real history, it creates a world that feels real, lived in, and instantly familiar.
I am not wanting to finish this game because of it's quality, seriously, it is in my top 3 games of life
The first and only game that I went for 100% completion. There is no better game than this in terms of immersive story telling, world building, characters you actually care about, graphics and sound. When the end came around (before the long epilogue), I think I actually teared up. No game has ever made me tear up. Rockstar, please stop wasting your precious developing resources on Red Dead Online and make a tru RDR 2 DLC, or get on with your next massive open world project.
