RDR2 is a western action-adventure game developed by Rockstar Games, most famous for its GTA series. If you haven’t heard anything about the game yet, then you’re a lucky person and downloading Red Dead Redemption 2 immediately to your PC, Xbox One or PS4 is a non-negotiable option.

Graphics – 5/5

Not many believed that the company could create another masterpiece that could surpass its famous predecessor. However, Rockstar keeps proving us wrong. If you’re a fan of GTA V, then you’ll notice how much more cinematic is Red Dead Redemption 2. It had always been this way between the series, but keep in mind that there’s a 5-year gap between two games. You can feel the progress in every aspect whether it’s heavy animations, textures or spectacular events like gunfight on top of exploding train.

Gameplay – 5/5

Red Dead Redemption 2’s gameplay doesn’t experience the lack of original ideas. The best stories that are told here usually take place where you don’t expect them. It might be a simple sinister side quest that you stumble upon when following a serial killer or a man searching for gold in the middle of the river. There’s also the main storyline with captivating missions and violent turnovers. It takes place 12 years before the original game in 1899, being a prequel, not a sequel as many have expected. However, it’s definitely not disappointing as you get to see the American west when it was properly wild.

One of the best things that could be mentioned about Red Dead Redemption 2 is its vast and thoroughly detailed open world. If you thought that San Andreas was big, then RDR2 will amaze you. It feels not like one or two cities but rather like an entire country of the late 19th century from Iowa to Indiana and South Carolina to New Orleans. A very convincing image of a country that remained long ago in the past.

Controls – 4.5/5

Red Dead Redemption takes the player from dusty urban landscapes to open-world western wilds. You’ll have to learn how to ride horses and hunt on deers if you want to survive here. Thankfully controls are not complicated, and you’ll get used to them soon enough. Sometimes occasional glitches may appear like disappearing characters or missing marks to trigger missions but those are very rare and don’t affect the general impression of the game.

Replay Value – 5/5

One of the best things that add up to the replay value is the number of details. This Red Dead Redemption 2 review would be incomplete if we didn’t mention the lamps that flicker across the night in old towns, green pines in the mountains, old oaks in the plains, killed deer slinging on the back of your horse and thousands of others little things that contribute to the atmosphere making you want to play it again and again.

The Bottom Line 

Red Dead Redemption 2 is undoubtedly a masterpiece. It’s perfect in so many ways that it’s hard to find any flaws here and that’s really unnecessary, to be honest. Rockstar Games have managed to create many titles that became canonic in some way or another so whenever you see the logo near another game it’s guaranteed to be a good one. Download Red Dead Redemption 2 now and for the next few weeks, you’ll be enjoying one the most beautiful and richest open world games that you can find.
