    I'm a fan of the Grand Theft Auto games but this was the first Red Dead game I've played. Figured I'd give a shot because it got great reviews and I know a lot of people that like it but it wasn't for me. The story and dialogue are entertaining but where it loses me is how slow everything is. Movement is slow, to pick up items is a chore, to run and go fast on your horse you have to constantly tap a button (I didn't mind this in GTA because at least you had cars where you could hold down the button). I know they wanted to make it a huge open world and have a lot of RPG elements, but for me everything loses it's fun by making it so realistic. I like video games to escape reality and only play the fun parts but in this game it just feels like your doing a bunch of chores to get to the exciting parts.

    Rockstar hit it out of the park with this one. Highly immersive game from beginning to end. Great story, relatable characters, and tons of side content to do that manages to feel important instead of just busywork. It's so easy to just get lost in the world, getting sidetracked from whatever you were doing because some other interesting thing popped up. I played it for probably over 100 hours, and played every day for a solid month. Have not played the online mode, so I can't comment on that; however, I would highly recommend it for the single player alone.

    "Red Dead Redemption 2" for PS5 is a stunning open-world masterpiece. With enhanced graphics and smoother performance, the Wild West comes alive like never before. Its deep narrative and dynamic gameplay make it an unforgettable journey through the American frontier.

    Very addictive. The story got me fully immersed in the game. The first day playing it i played for 12 hours and didn’t even realize it. Great game with side missions to prolong the fun. Highly recommend the game. My only regret is how long i waited to buy it for myself.

    Bought this game in Feb 2020. The purchase process was easy. The store associate was friendly. The pickup was easy and quick. Played the game twice. After GOW 4, this game had the best cinematic gaming experience. Great music, great settings, very good game play. Can access some of the premium game items early in the game making it easy to progress to higher levels. This game is stand alone and earlier releases of this game need NOT be played to understand this story. The ending was unexpected but satisfying. Overall, highly recommend to purchase. Thanks.

    Stellar Graphics, Convoluted gameplay

    First off being a huge fan of the first Red Dead Redemption, I couldn't wait to get my hands on this game, but I had to, and then wait some more, and a bit more, then, again, a bit more. Having already lost a little steam from the waiting game, I was certain that once the game was in my hands that I would once again have the exciting world of an outlaw cowboy at the onset of the 20th century at my fingertips. To a large extent I was not disappointed, the visuals are beyond simply impressive, they are near reality in a box. But a game is not good simply because of its A/V fidelity, it needs a lot more to reach that status. Overall the thing about this game that ultimately pushed me back to playing AC Odyssey was simply that there was too much gameplay with too little direction, and as near as I could tell, there was no way to return to the game, after a break, and find out what objective you left off at. This forced me to go back to an earlier save point and start the mission over. Frustrating for someone who is a casual gamer that does not always have/get to finish each mission before needing to stop playing. Overall I would say that Rockstar created a mind-blowingly beautiful, albeit convoluted at times, poorly directed game.

    This game is amazing. The graphic is amazing (base PS4 model), the world is amazing, all animations, everything about this game is perfect. It is an ideal "being a cowboy" sort of fantasy. I love westerns and wild west setting and this game is dreams come true. The world is one if not the best looking world game ever designed. Everything is so well designed that is breathtaking. There are almost 180 animals in game, the world feels organic and alive. I like gun play and all game mechanics. It is stunning bro. Well deserved 10/10. Game like this is released once every 8-10 years to I will make the most of it. Living the dream wooo hooo !

    The game is very realistic, and has some very strong violence; however you get what you buy, and you should know this is a very realistic western game!

    I cant believe I held off on playing this game for so long, I truly didn't know what I was missing. Perhaps the most immersive open world ever. Incredible graphics, stellar audio (sounds and spoken dialogue), thrilling missions, and no lack of activities/random encounters. Easily put 100+ hours into the game on my 'honorable' file and as soon as it was over, I was eager to jump back in for another play though on the bad guy 'dishonorable' route. Certainly the best game of the last several years, maybe of all time. This one cannot be missed.

    I came into this game completely blind to the story and previous game which was no problem whatsoever as this is a prequel to the original Red Dead Redemption. To summarize my experience: this was hands down the most invested I’ve ever been in a character and it felt like I was role playing through a movie for most of my experience. The acting was next level and I'm not sure how else to describe this experience other than it was a masterpiece. I am a huge RPG fan and this has to be the most complete one I’ve ever played. Hopefully this sets a standard for games to come.

    The story engulfs you in the struggles of a Westerner in 1899 America. The environments are detailed and amazing in true Rockstar fashion. This is a game you don't want to miss.

    The most important thing to understand about this game is it is NOT GTA but in the wild west...Red Dead Redemption 1 and 2 are both about creating an engrossing western experience. It is not just running around shooting everything, it is being a cowboy. You have to take care of your horse, your guns, and yourself. The story is rich and full of unique and awesome characters, the combat is very satisfying and all the different things you can do are tons of fun, whether it be hunting legendary animals, fishing, poker, or just riding around on your horse taking in this insanely detailed game world. Pick this game up!
