unlabelledView post →There are some games you play, and then they end. There are others where the credits roll, and they remain as a fond memory. But very few games stay with you long after they are over. For me, “Red Dead Redemption 2” was never just a game. It was a world where I truly felt I was living. In this world, I didn’t just complete missions; I gathered memories. I rode long distances on horseback at sunrise, moved silently through the rain, and sat by the campfire at night, listening to the sounds…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Usually, in long-form narrative games, I stick to the main storyline and try to enjoy it like a TV series or movie, but in this game, there’s story even in the newspapers, man. The people who said there are hundreds of subtle details were absolutely right; catching those little nuances is genuinely satisfying. You really have to pick up and read the newspapers found in the cities—they usually appear after you complete missions. Also, make sure to explore the mountains, rocky areas, and forests;…

unlabelledView post →All them years, Dutch... Words fall short — but the lesson doesn’t. I would normally talk about the aspects of the game, the gunplay, graphics, mechanics, story etc. but I will not. This is not the type of game where you give scores. Unlike other games where you control a character, you become Arthur Morgan. You make small choices, build trust, face consequences, and slowly learn patience all while navigating a world that responds to your every action. The Only Advice: just play. Fall and get…

My expectation: “Yeah yeah, cowboy game… I’ll play it for a few hours.” Reality: - emotional damage - existential crisis and everlasting depression - 30 hours spent just riding through the wilderness - crying over fictional characters at 2AM But let’s do this properly: Red Dead Redemption 2 lets you play as the vagabond Arthur Morgan in 1899,…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I hate the way it feels to play Crimson Desert. It's definitely inspired by Red Dead Redemption 2 in the exact way that I was worried about -- a game that cares more about looking good than being enjoyable for a human to play.

unlabelledView post →maybe the ur-example here is Red Dead Redemption 2, which appears on many GOAT game lists and has a mission structure that in large part involves walking your horse slowly while having a conversation followed by mediocre gunplay (I love RDR2! it’s great! except for the bad guy being named Micah)

unlabelledView post →I start the game as Arthur Morgan — a walking contradiction. A tough outlaw, a gentle soul, and a man who apologizes to his horse more than he apologizes to people. I hunt, I fish, I help every stranger alive… and Dutch keeps saying “Trust me, Arthur.” Bro, I don’t even trust myself near the ‘Greet / Antagonize’ buttons. Arthur’s journey hits harder than any shotgun blast. He goes from “Let’s rob a train” to “Let’s fix our sins before the credits roll.” Character development? Peak.…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Unable to play this game on steam, unfortunately rockstar permanently links your steam account to the launcher and if you change emails or any information about your account you wont have any access any rockstar games you've purchased. They will outright refuse to unlink your steam account and will waste your time for weeks (literally) with there tech support.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It’s hard to put into words what Red Dead Redemption 2 means to me. This isn’t just a game, it’s a world I lived in, a story that changed me, and a character I’ll never forget... Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t just a game, it's an experience. A slow-burning, heart-wrenching, beautifully crafted journey through the dying days of the Wild West that has left a permanent mark on me. From the first time I rode through a snowy mountain with the Van der Linde gang, to THAT Sunrise, I was…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Red Dead Redemption 2 is so good. Basically what sums up Red Dead 2 is that I'm going into random saloons to play poker next thing I am sucking snake venom out of this random NPC's leg for the third time to robbing a bank, fighting a bear and Dutch yelling "GET DOWN HERE YOU INBRED TRASH". The level of detail Rockstar has put into Red Dead 2 is mind blowing. This is my second playthrough of this game , my first playthrough was on a PS4 were I got 250 hours recorded on there. This is a game that…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It may sound dramatic, but I really do wonder if I will ever play something this great again. A beautiful experience in every aspect. Multiplayer is the only reason this game loses points. Filled with hackers/modders, and entirely abandoned by rockstar.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Red Dead Redemption 2 started as a complete mystery to me. I had never played the first game, barely knew any of the characters, and the three previous times I tried to start it, I quit during the snowy opening hours. The reason was simple: the Western genre has never been one of my favorites, and games in the style of GTA never really appealed to me either. This game seemed to combine both of those things, which made it difficult for me to get invested. What changed was a friend who kept…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don’t usually leave reviews, but this is one time I really want to. To say this game is a masterpiece would be an understatement. You can feel its soul from the very first second to the very last. It’s a game that will make you laugh, cry, and leave you with a kind of emptiness afterward that very few things can create. RDR2 is not just a game. It’s a world that makes you fall in love with it and then emotionally destroys you. It’s a game about beauty and horror. A game that leaves a mark…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Keep in mind before reading that the review doesn't concern the game. It is one of the best games i've ever played and i'm truly saddened to write this review. What prompted me to was Rockstar's complete disregard in their customer support. I've been unable to play the game for over 3 weeks due to an issue concerning their 2FA on the client, that i never activated. Unfortunately, my old Rockstar Account was created a long time ago with an email address that has since been deleted, making it…

unlabelledView post →Red Dead Redemption 2 is a monument of "effort" that is rarely seen in the gaming world. Rockstar Games has built not just a game, but a detailed, melancholic, and living canvas that makes you forget the outside world once you step in. It might be jarring at first for those accustomed to the fast pace of modern games, but the true magic of this game lies within that very slowness. The game's map might be the most organic open world ever created. Here, nature is not just a backdrop you pass…

I can't even play the game because the rockstar account is tied to an email i no longer have access to. It would be such a simple fix but the support team is too lazy to help and would rather close my issue in 2 seconds. Truly sickening and disgusting rockstar support team

Story is incredibly captivating, characters are fully fleshed out, and the world wastes no time in immersing you the moment you step foot into it. RDR2 is one of those games where you can clearly see the time and effort spent by the developers, with historically accurate assets, environments, animals, clothing, you name it. Even outside of the main story leaves zero gaps in its gameplay with hundreds of well developed…

And Arthur Morgan is the greatest character I have ever seen. It’s hard to even describe the range of emotions I experienced while playing it. This is not just a video game - it’s a true work of art. The best Rockstar Games game and one of the greatest games ever made.
