I purchased this game yesterday, and it is with out a doubt the best game that I have played this year. The story starts off a tad slow, however, it keeps you completely emerged throughout the entire time. Patiently waiting for multiplayer!

I'm about 12 hours in to this game and I'm not hooked. Which blows my mind because this is my kind of game. I absolutely loved the first. This one has a much slower pace, and the life, dead eye, and stamina system is the worst of any game I've ever played. They really need to do something about that in an update. I recommend it of course, but have something else to do when you get bored for the day, which is crazy to say about this game.

The first chapter of rdr 2 is tediously slow,then it picks up the pace and becomes really enjoyable,If you like exploring,I’m not into the robbing and gunfights but the hunting is fun,this isn’t a game for a young child tho

I the a 75" Samsung QLED TV and this game is amazing on it. I also have a smaller 55" in my room which my older non 4k xbox is hooked up to. This game is awesome on both of them. So much depth, so much to do. Bravo rockstar!

I got into RD 1 several years after it came out and found out how much fun I was missing. Red Dead 2 has continued on with he fun. It's tough to beat the Wild West and it's a welcome change in settings from most other games.

If you were a fan of the original Red Dead like I was then you'll absolutely love this game. There's so much to explore in this massive open world, a slew of challenges and hunts to complete, interesting characters to interact with and learn about. The only caveat with the game lies in its actual gameplay, which at times can feel slow and sluggish thanks to Rockstar's almost ridiculous attention to detail. Thankfully it doesnt detract from the overall experience. The graphics are incredible and you can definitely tell the game was crafted with a lot of TLC over its long 8 year development, and that's just the single player campaign. Here's hoping the same amount of effort goes into the upcoming multiplayer mode.

I got this game for my husband and we have both enjoyed playing it. Really immersive experience and lots of fun. Definitely make sure you have some spare time if you want to play this game because it is lengthy and deep.

This game is fantastic!! Visually stunning. Great story. I love everything about this game, the only thing I wish is it had an instant fast travel to anywhere on the map. A little into the game you can semi fast travel to locations. This one small complaint aside this is a must play in my opinion.
FYI I’ve seen some people complain they didn’t play past the “snow level”. This is still in the introductory of the game. I admit this part was a little tedious even though I enjoyed it, but get into the open world and give it a chance. If it’s not for you fine but give it a chance. I love riding around on my horse shooting bandits, robbing trains and coming across memorable encounters. (Game looks fantastic one the Xbox One X in 4K!)
