One of the most legendary games I have ever played. There is so much substance in this game and details within the story that transcend the bounds of typical games. Modern AAA games have little creativity and attempt to pander to everyone, making them lose the depth of their stories and garnering little interest for the rest of the play-through. This game alone reminds me of how classic games had one motive and it was to develop things because they were fun to them and just because they can. I would like to touch on the subject of the storyline but that would leave too many spoilers, but let us just say that you can choose to play as an absolute devil of a gunslinger or a selfless being; with respective outcomes to the storyline. You can ride horses, rope bandits and hogtie them, choose the Cattleman lifestyle or semi-automatic, hunt animals and harvest flora to craft special tonics. The introduction to the game does take a while and reminds me a bit of Oregon Trail strangely in the sense that you are met with the harsh conditions and the members of the gang make decisions to make their survival – portraying how crude the world is in that age. There are several things that I can go on about for this game but the rest is to be enjoyed and experienced. If you are a fan of mystery, older way of life, history, scientific advancement, drama and incredible suspense with an even more astonishing climax this is the game for you.

Red dead 2 for ps4 is a very big open world game awaiting a ps5 remaster. The story mode characters are the best part of the game when you've played red dead 1 you'll know part of johns story and how red dead 2 basically leads you into red dead 1 its really dope being able to see marstons gang before they split up and seeing how there life was on the run in the wild west. As for online its really slow paced , pvp and game modes. Includes some story missions and roles you can take up such as a bounty hunter collector and a trader the game slowly gets updated which kills it for alot of players including my self which i still play time to time for the memories but the content they release is only exciting for the first hour or so and then the game is back to being boring again.

I bought a PlayStation 4 based off the promise that this game would launch on the console and I am not disappointed! The graphics are the best ever in a video game I’ve ever seen, the open world is lush and organic feeling, the writing is amazing and overall this is a game that is already one of the greatest of all time! Amazing job by rockstar games. If you have a PS4 or Xbox one this game needs to be in your collection!

This game is excellent! This is not my first time playing Red Dead Redemption 2, but I had to buy the game for my self I was absolutely hooked. I love that there are spontaneous side quests that pop up around the map. Each and every one of those storylines are very well written and provide variety to the game. Sometimes I don’t feel like going on the story mode missions, so instead I have the choice to explore the world and complete fun challenges and mission. Seriously, this game never gets old I can play for hours on end without ever getting bored.
