I've been a fan of Red Dead series since the beginning and they keep getting better and better. This is the most immersive and realistic Rockstar game to date! The game starts slow because of the tutorials, but after that it's amazing

This game is a true example of what can be done from a studio given time and resources. The detail in the world is astonishing. SO much to do and the world actually feels lived in. Makes you never want to leave. Highly recommended.

While I preferred some of the missions in the first game, this feels like a very solid second game. I can't call it a sequel since it is a prequel, but it is still a great game and fills in a lot of the plot from the first game.

This one stands out as far and away the best game I have played this year. Simply amazing the detail and scope of the world and random events. Some of the most enjoyable playing I have had on consoles in as long as I can remember.

Rockstar Games did a very good job with Red Dead Redemption 2. The graphics are very clean and detailed and it has a great storyline. I would recommend for every person that plays video games to add this to their collection!

I spent such a long time playing this game, and didn't even see everything it had to offer! Arthur Morgan is such a well fleshed out protagonist, and you really get attached to him and his world. Beautiful game.

This game is such great value. Hours and hours of side missions, random encounters and just riding around admiring the environment and ambience. Some of the controls aren't as intuitive as I'd like, but you get used to it.

Gameplay is easy to pick up, the environment is emersive with a good story mode and lots of extras along the way. Havent made it far in online mode... so far it seems good but could use use extra character modifications.

-It's real purdy.
-It's real big
-It's real deliberate.
This is a game that seems to have taken to heart how I played RDR and spun it out as far as you can go. You need to slow down and play at the pace it's built for rather than try to push it. But that works perfectly for me. I never run (unless I have to to get things done), I never push my horse (again, see above). The rhythms of a time long gone feel great.
It has some control quirks but I've adapted to those pretty well.
Highly recommended.

The first time I played this game I was so impressed with the graphics and sound of the wildlife and people you interact with in the game. I hoped that the online will get better but it’s still a work in progress.

This is probably one of if not the best video game I have ever played.
Just buy it, you won't be disappointed.
Unless you hate Rockstar Games and fun. Then just keep your opinion to yourself.

Truly incredible game. The graphics are so clean that you would think you have been transported to the wild west. Very immersive game, and online will only make it better when that is released.

There is so much to do in this game. If you like old west things bonus. You can play poker, Dominos, hunt, fish, oh yeah there is a story and missions too. Game does eat up a lot of free time.

Absolutely stunning visually! Rockstar also spent a lot of time getting the story perfect as well. There is so much you can do in this game you might never finish it. Well worth your time.

This game deserves ever accolade it is receiving. A gorgeous game with great game play. Controls take a bit to get used to but that is a minimal negative to an overall outstanding game. A++

,,, there's a lot of hours to be spent on here. As a return on investment, it's a no-brainer. It's fun and entertaining with so much to do. The graphics are amazing; the graphic details are the same between the PS4 (pro) and the Xbox (X) but the sound on the Xbox is better than the PS4. The character controls are a little clunkly for modern games and the story unfolds pretty slowly (that's intentional) but when the action begins (out of nowhere!) you can quickly die if you're not prepared, which can be frustrating. It's a good time.
