Come on. Do you really need a random person to convince you to get this? You know if its for you or not by now surely.
It is a masterpiece of atmosphere and character writing. The gameplay is fluid and fun. Performances are out of this world.

So this is an unusual circumstance where I am not even close to finishing the game, but already love it. In fact, I purposefully neglect main mission tracks to explore the world. From what I have read, the story does go places, and gets better so I have a lot to look forward to on that front because I liked what I have seen so far.
That said, my preferred way to play is just to go out and see what unfolds. I might go hunting. I may help out a damsel in distress. I might start a drunken fight in a bar. Whatever happens to feel right in the moment. It's been a greatly immersive, and wonderful time, and I am in no rush to "finish" the game.
Controls are more deliberate that what most people are accustomed to. One has to get over the snappy controls of a typical FPS. This is not that. There are settings you can tweak to approach this. Just understand the game has it's own deliberate pace. I frankly enjoy that aspect. It means you have to pay attention, and play mindfully instead of spamming buttons. At the same time it is not something you have to think about. It is pretty easy to grasp, and becomes second nature. Much like touch-typing, your fingers will know what to do if you play mindfully. I read/hear a lot about players shooting someone when they meant to do something else. I've done it as well. But then they blame the controls for not making sense... which is odd because they do not change (nor do the prompts). My advice is to slow down, and make sure you are doing what you mean to do.
Anyway, if you loved the first Red Dead, and/or enjoy a open-world in a western setting, I highly recommend this game. Take your time. This is not a game you gulp down in order to rush credits. Savor every sip. Find a pace that works for you.

The detail in this game is truly amazing. You can really tell that Rockstar put a lot of love into everything. There is so much to do aside from the story that you could spend hours just playing poker or dominos alone. This is a game that you can really get some enjoyment out of for a long time, and with online coming out Friday for everyone, there is even more reason to play.

My son and I each played Red Dead Redemption 2 separately, and we both absolutely loved it. The world is incredibly detailed, the story is powerful, and the gameplay is top-notch. Even though we played on our own, we had a great time talking about our experiences, the choices we made, and all the little things we discovered. It’s so good that we’ve both gone back to play it again. This is one of those games that really sticks with you and keeps pulling you back in. Highly recommended for anyone who loves a great open-world adventure.

Enticing story and immersive world. You'll feel for Arthur. Will probably change the open-world gaming industry. I was blown away by how immersive it was. You can talk to a random NPC and see them 5 hours later referencing your previous convo. So many inter-related "easter eggs". The things you do will be discussed on newspapers/random NPCs gossipping, it was so impressive.

I am still playing the story mode and it has been great so far. The map feels huge due to the limits of movement but it has so much to do that will be sure to take all your time

First things first, this game is so realistic that I half expected tumbleweeds to roll through my living room while playing. The graphics are so jaw-droppingly gorgeous that I couldn't help but stare at the sunset for way too long, completely forgetting I had a mission to complete. Sorry, Arthur, your horse can wait a bit longer!
Speaking of Arthur Morgan, our protagonist, he's the definition of a cowboy with heart and charm. He's got more personality than a saloon full of rowdy cowpokes. I found myself getting emotionally attached to him and his ragtag gang of outlaws faster than a bullet leaves a revolver.
Now, let's talk about the world they've created. It's vast, breathtaking, and full of surprises. I rode through lush valleys, galloped across dusty plains, and stumbled upon hidden treasures that even the most seasoned gold digger would envy. But hey, be careful not to go off the beaten path for too long, unless you want to become dinner for a hungry bear or end up tangling with a group of overzealous bandits.
One thing that had me chuckling like a drunken cowboy was the random encounters. From a grumpy fella trying to find his lost dentures to a nudist asking for directions, this game sure knows how to keep you on your toes. I couldn't resist playing the hero and lending a helping hand, even if it meant losing precious time in my quest for redemption.
Now, let's address the horse in the room—the horse mechanics. Y'know, I never thought I'd be so attached to a digital equine, but dang it, those horses stole my heart! They're so realistic and responsive that I found myself whispering sweet nothings to my trusty steed, hoping it would make us both gallop faster. And let me tell ya, there's nothing quite like crashing headfirst into a tree and watching poor Arthur get launched like a ragdoll while his horse looks at him with sheer disappointment. Hilarious!
All in all, Red Dead Redemption 2 is an absolute blast, whether you're itching for a gunfight or simply looking to play cowboy dress-up. Just be prepared to get lost in the immersive world, forming bonds with your digital companions, and laughing until your belly aches. Saddle up, pardner, because this game is a wild ride from start to finish!

Game Of The Year

This game is definitely going on the "best games of all time" list. Think of it as Grand Theft Auto, but American Western times. But it's a whole lot more serious and respectable. It's really more than just a game. If you take the time to stop and look at your surroundings, you'll realize the amazing world that Rockstar Games created. This game is phenomenal in all the right ways. I can't think of a single bad thing to say about it. It has everything. The storytelling, side missions, beautiful landscapes, hundreds of animal breeds, weapon customization, hunting, fishing, animal skinning animations, crafting and cooking, treasure hunting, multiple outfits and clothes for your main character, even horse customization with saddles and mane styles and more... The way this game represents it's characters throughout the story, it makes you care about them. Heck you'll even care about some random fellow on the side of the road with a broken leg and a heartthrobbing story that you'll stop to help him out. Or you have a choice of being the most ruthless outlaw of all time and shoot him in the other leg and take all his money. You can be as good or as bad as your heart desires and benefit from different perks of the Honor System. Everything in this game is made to such a quality that no other developer can do. Not Dice, Activision, Bethesda, Ubisoft or even Bioware has enough talent to come close to creating such a masterpiece that is Red Dead Redemption 2. Naughty Dog comes close with The Last Of Us. But even then this game provides so much more than others. So just buy the game. Even if you don't like Western films, you will still appreciate this game for everything it has to offer.

This is the best game I’ve ever bought in years, but eventually, we’ll have to pass our old games down to the next generation.
