Reviews
Kotaku - Kirk Hamilton - No VerdictThis game has heart; the kind of heart that is difficult to pin down but impossible to deny. It is a wonderful story about terrible people, and a vivacious, tremendously sad tribute to nature itself. There is so much beauty and joy in this expensive, exhausting thing. Somehow that makes it even more perfect—a breathtaking eulogy for a ruined world, created by, about, and for a society that ruined it.

VG247 - Kirk McKeand - No VerdictRed Dead Redemption 2 is a brave prequel that isn't afraid of taking risks. It is innovative, surprising, stunning, dramatic, and generous – a highlight of this generation and a benchmark for other open world games to aspire to.

Eurogamer - Martin Robinson - RecommendedAn astounding open world unlikely to be rivalled until well into the next gen, saddled by a throughline from the last.

TrueAchievements - Dave Horobin - 5 / 5 starsRed Dead Redemption 2's vast, detailed and stunningly beautiful open world sits as the perfect backdrop for its compelling and well-paced story filled with epic set pieces. With deeper gameplay mechanics, a larger cast of diverse and interesting characters to meet, and a wealth of content from side objectives to mini-games, RDR2 is a shining example of what makes Rockstar's games so special.

Easy Allies - Brandon Jones - 10 / 10.0Rockstar achieves a new level of open world immersion in the second chapter of their wild west epic. Big choices lead to surprising consequences, and lots of customization options generate an attachment to your surroundings. Incredible visuals and spontaneous events create a beautiful, breathing world to explore.

Push Square - Robert Ramsey - 10 / 10Red Dead Redemption 2 is Rockstar's best game, and it's gripping from start to finish.

TheSixthAxis - Adrian Burrows - 10 / 10The hype being created for Red Dead Redemption 2 and the expectations of the passionate fan-base made a part of me believe that Rockstar Games could never deliver on all of their many promises. They did, and then some. From the feeling of a realistic living world they've created to the emotional bonds you build, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the video game experience of this generation.

GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 10 / 10.0The years spent shaping Red Dead Redemption 2 into what it is has been worth it.

Gaming Nexus - Nicholas Leon - 10 / 10.0An astounding triumph that will certainly stand above the pack this season, Red Dead Redemption 2 is a unique game about unique people. The writing, visuals, and gameplay combine to make an absolute standout of a title, one that has been well worth the wait.

Gamersky - 不倒翁蜀黍 - 10 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 is the game that I would like to keep playing for years. The wild west is marvelous and full of interesting events. The story is both solid and attractive. What's more, The interactive system makes a great progress and you can interact with nearly everyone in various ways, and it feels really real. RDR2 definitely will be one of the greatest video games of all time.
[HR][/HR]
Generación Xbox - Adrian Fuentes Berna - Spanish - 10 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 offers an unprecedented level of interaction with NPCs. Its level of detail and brilliant way of telling Arthur Morgan's story in a completely open adventure make the Rockstar game a masterpiece.
[HR][/HR]
IGN - Luke Reilly - 10 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 is a game of rare quality; a meticulously polished open world ode to the outlaw era.
[HR][/HR]
Windows Central - Asher Madan - 5 / 5 starsDespite some minor issues like stuttering in interiors, awkward camera angles in smaller houses, or the relatively slow start to story the campaign — Red Dead Redemption 2 simply overrides its small perceptible flaws with what is nothing short of a truly spectacular experience. Simply put, it is one of the best games ever made, setting a new standard for open world titles going forward.
[HR][/HR]
IGN Italy - Gianluca Loggia - Italian - 10 / 10.0One of the best open world games ever, with the single best story ever written for a videogame.
[HR][/HR]
IGN Spain - Gustavo Maeso - Spanish - 10 / 10.0A titanic videogame, a masterpiece that, like everything, will have passionate lovers and other players who do not get too caught up. Everything also depends on thematic genres and preferences. Maybe not everyone likes the stories of 'Indians and cowboys'. But this interactive universe created by Rockstar tells a story fantastically constructed and allows us to live a unique adventure. And for that reason, we believe that this production touches excellence. And for that, it takes the first 10 in the history of IGN Spain. Good trip, cowboys!

DualShockers - Ryan Meitzler - 10 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 may just signal the dawn of a new era for open-world games, and it's an experience that I have no doubt players will be investing tens (if not hundreds) of hours into its immense, deep world and completing its story full of action, suspense, and deeply investing character moments.
[HR][/HR]
GamingTrend - Ron Burke - 100 / 100Red Dead Redemption 2 raises the bar for sandbox adventure games. It's organic in a way almost unseen in any genre, creating an authentic open world that is as cohesive as it is compelling. This title will set the bar for action adventure games for years to come.
[HR][/HR]
Press Start - Brodie Gibbons - 10 / 10Red Dead Redemption 2 is a triumph in world-building, character craft and downright skulduggery. Being bad has never felt so good as Rockstar toe the realism line while still keeping their sharp, trademark tongue in cheek. It's the keen attention to detail where Rockstar succeeds and this outlaw prequel comfortably outperforms their best works and in time, I believe, will be regarded as a once in a generation game.
[HR][/HR]
Game Revolution - Jason Faulkner - 5 / 5 starsThe astounding thing about RDR 2 is that there's not only a staggering amount of story, side quests, and places to explore but that it's all high quality and doesn't feel tacked on.
[HR][/HR]
Twinfinite - Ed McGlone - 5 / 5.0Red Dead Redemption 2 has certainly benefited from Rockstar allocating almost a whole generation's worth of development time to perfect what they wanted to accomplish. The result is a game that is easily one of the best games this year, and this console generation, but that's not all. It should eventually go down as one of the greatest games ever made.
[HR][/HR]
Gameblog - Gianni Molinaro - French - 10 / 10There's a new sheriff in the open-world action game genre in town. Red Dead Redemption 2 is sure ambitious but it succeeds everywhere he travels : exploration, gunfights, stealth, main quest, characters, side quests, customization, acting, hunting, fishing... Name one element, it delivers. And it sure looks like one of the best looking games ever seen and has many secrets yet to be discovered. And so it can be considered as a masterpiece, an extraordinary, legendary game that we will talk about with sincere admiration for ages.

Game Debate - Jon Sutton - 10 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't just a great game. It's a game that sets an impossibly high new bar for how open-worlds can be handled. Its depiction of late 19th-century America feels both historically accurate yet abundantly open-ended, slow-paced and yet alive, grim and yet majestic. It makes the original Red Dead Redemption feel like a warm-up, the doodles on the page before the real thing has come to life.

Digital Trends - Steven Petite - 5 / 5 stars'Red Dead Redemption 2' is unrivaled in design, gameplay, and storytelling.

Attack of the Fanboy - William Schwartz - 5 / 5 starsWith Red Dead Redemption 2 Rockstar Games has set the bar so high that other games of this nature seem infinitesimally lesser because of its existence.

Game Informer - Matt Bertz - 10 / 10.0Rockstar has once again created a game that redefines the open-world experience. Red Dead Redemption II is a triumph that every gamer should experience for themselves
[HR][/HR]
PlayStation Universe - Jack McCaskill - 10 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 not only lives up to expectations, but it smashes them and feels like the missing half of a story we never knew was incomplete. Improving on its predecessor in every way that counts, it also reignites interest in its landmark prequel, enhancing the overall experience to an epic scale and giving gamers an odyssey quite unlike any other.

GamesRadar+ - David Meikleham - 5 / 5 starsOne of the top three open-worlds of all time, and the best game Rockstar has ever made. An all-time Old West masterpiece.
[HR][/HR]
Hobby Consolas - David Martinez - Spanish - 99 / 100Rockstar delivers a masterpiece in every aspect. Its organic and evolving open world, characters, storyline and gameplay mechanics made us feel "free men". Red Dead Redemption 2 also brings the best technical elements of this generation.
[HR][/HR]
Wccftech - Alessio Palumbo - 9.7 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 may not be perfect, but its minor shortcomings are like tiny blemishes on a stunningly beautiful face. In a way, they only serve as a reminder of how this world isn't made for perfection. Every single aspect of the game will put you into the very shoes of an outlaw roaming America with his gang as they try to escape the law long enough to make the money needed to disappear for good. It's an epic, memorable and engrossing tale which also elevates the open world genre to new heights with the brand new interaction system, a cast of memorable characters and a ton of high-quality content to play for a long time.
[HR][/HR]
GamePro - Tobias Veltin - German - 96 / 100What a ride! Red Dead Redemption 2 is the next Rockstar-Masterpiece and the best game in this console-generation so far.
[HR][/HR]
Critical Hit - Darryn Bonthuys - 9.5 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 is a story of endings and new beginnings, of the birth of legends and the consequences that come with creating a myth. It's all wrapped up in an immaculate presentation, told over dozens of hours and adventures that leads to an inevitable conclusion: Red Dead Redemption 2 raises the bar for the sandbox genre and stands tall as the definitive western game of this or any other generation.
[HR][/HR]
Destructoid - Chris Carter - 9.5 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 is the epitome of ambition and like most things Rockstar, will meet the expectations associated with it. With all of the advancements since the last Red Dead and everything they've learned from Grand Theft Auto V under their belt, the series is in a better place, able to provide a more natural and less gamey world to explore.
[HR][/HR]
Gameplanet - Chris Brown - 9.5 / 10.0Despite stumbling at the very beginning Red Dead Redemption 2 cements Rockstar Games' place at the very top of the games industry. It's been eight years and well worth the wait.
[HR][/HR]
CGMagazine - Brendan Frye - 9.5 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption 2 is the best game Rockstar Games has ever made, as it deftly combines one of the richest open worlds ever made with one of the most compelling stories of this generation.
[HR][/HR]
Xbox Achievements - Richard Walker - 95%A stunning, elegiac western that features some of Rockstar's best writing to date, Red Dead Redemption 2 is also the studio's finest open-world to date, handcrafted with real, tangible care and attention, defying the boundaries of what a video game can be. Arthur Morgan will also inhabit a special place in your heart, as a likeable, relatable rogue striving to find his way in the world. Good ol' Arthur.
[HR][/HR]
Metro GameCentral - GameCentral - 9 / 10An incredible technical achievement and a hugely accomplished Western epic that, despite a few minor flaws, represents Rockstar Games' most engaging and ambitious work so far.

Worth Playing - Cody Medellin - 9 / 10.0Red Dead Redemption II is exactly the kind of game you'd expect from Rockstar.
[HR][/HR]
Cubed3 - Tomas Barry - 9 / 10The first collaborative project between all of Rockstar Games' studios is something truly special. While no single element of Red Dead Redemption 2 is revolutionary, due to its ambitious scope, it's greater than the sum of its parts. Few single-player experiences excel simultaneously at telling a deep and poignant story, whilst also providing the player with such a huge extent of freedom and possibility. The universe is exceedingly broad, varied, and beautiful, not to mention overflowing with interesting characters, wildlife, and things to do. The sense of polish and finer details really bring things together, along with the excellent musical score, fantastic voice acting and the title's intense and visceral cinematic qualities. Fans of the original Red Dead Redemption will be enamoured by the sequel. It doesn't just accentuate the West, but animates it on a new level, with a greater sense of life, community, and narrative. It's epic.

VideoGamer - Colm Ahern - 9 / 10Few worlds are as well-realised as the one Rockstar has created for Red Dead Redemption 2. Thanks to some wonderful scripting and stellar performances, the characters you randomly meet in the wild are captured as well as the ones you spend most of your days around camp. How do you follow Red Dead Redemption? You make Red Dead Redemption 2.
[HR][/HR]
Daily Dot - Joseph Knoop - 4.5 / 5 starsWe suspect it will still stand among Rockstar's greatest games, but perhaps not its greatest saga.
[HR][/HR]
Gamers Heroes - Johnny Hurricane - 9 / 10Surprising absolutely no one, Red Dead Redemption 2 is easily a game of the year contender, if not the winner. Rockstar Games knocks it out of the park once again, and we are eagerly awaiting Red Dead Online.
[HR][/HR]
USgamer - Mike Williams - 4.5 / 5 starsEight years after the masterpiece that was Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar Games is taking a second shot. New protagonist Arthur Morgan gets a better supporting cast, an absolutely beautiful open world with more visual variety, and a ton of things to kill or collect. There's some occasional tedium in travel, and a few bugs and annoyances, but nothing that prevents Red Dead Redemption 2 from being an excellent game.

New Game Network - Alex Varankou - 82 / 100Red Dead Redemption 2 is an enjoyable sequel that builds on the foundation of its predecessor, with much to do and plenty to see, all wrapped up in some of the best visuals you've ever seen on a console. With great characters and satisfying action, it's a Wild West worth exploring.
