Red Dead Redemption 2 (XBox One)

Red Dead Redemption 2 is finally here after a short delay which I commend Rockstar for doing to get the game right for release day as opposed to releasing a buggy mess. It's been eight years since the original took videogames by storm and is my favourite Rockstar franchise but is it still as good all these years later? RDR 2 has you playing as a new protagonist in Arthur Morgan in what is essentially a prequel to the first game. I feel as though there is a better cast of characters or a stronger set of characters in RDR2 than in the original game although quite a few do crossover. The story is outstanding and it affected me in a way a story often fails to achieve where you will become emotionally invested in these characters with all the paradoxes and contradictions that can evoke. In terms of how good the story is I would put it in the same league as say Metal Gear Solid or Silent Hill 2 (albeit a completely different overall narrative and story arc) but all three games will linger in your mind long after completion. If I was to levy a criticism on the story it would be that some details are overemphasised at the expense of others and I would have liked to see certain characters get a bit more focus. It can also be said that the story peaks a good 4-5 hours before it is actually finished which is the biggest issue with it but overall and by the time the credits roll it all ties together fantastically and does leave me wanting to fire up the original all over again. In addition to the normal campaign missions there are many side missions to undertake as expected from a Rockstar title. Some of these side missions are genuinely funny but some are also duds with a notable amount of 'fetch quests' but I wouldn't go as far as calling any of it grating. There's also a number of activities such as poker, blackjack, fishing, hunting and other things to do as in RDR. Somewhat disappointingly there is not much new here but everything that is here in terms of activities is done very well. Maintenance also returns and is added for your horse where the most intrusive element I found to be was horse grooming which was just annoying. It's not really required or you can work around it but it definitely has more of a vibe for realism than for fun in that regard. Arthur's appearance will also change depending on if the player decides to have his hair or beard cut which is a nice touch and is easy enough to customise to your own liking. The key difference here being that it grows organically which I don't recollect being in GTA 5 but I may be mistaken. As in GTA 5, bank and stagecoach robberies are in the game and depending on your path Arthur Morgan can be honourable or a savage. This is dependent on your actions with the main missions, side missions and strangers where interactions can repeat which may cause some irritation but it's completely up to the player as to whether they choose to proceed. Largely all of the padding is entirely optional. At the time of writing the RDR2 online beta has opened which I have played very little of. I must admit that I don't really have much interest in this which will be a cash cow for Rockstar and I don't blame them wanting to make money off of it but it's just not very interesting to me. There is a clear difference in terms of story which is much stronger in single player but to compare the two would be offensive. ---Summary--- (Scored out of 10) Graphics - 9 - Mostly good but there are some irregularities when it comes to the lighting where characters can light up like lambent from Gears of War. On the whole though it's a great looking game with fine little details such as mud, footprints and tracks looking very nice. Sound - 10 - The star of the show it really is exceptional all the way through and puts many Hollywood films to shame. Gameplay - 8 - I have seen some criticism for the combat being too loose but I found it to be good seeing as it can all be customised in terms of auto-aim which I prefer to be off. There's perhaps an overreliance on deadeye but it all works well. Lifespan - 8 - I've finished the campaign and it must have been at least 20 hours. I can see myself going back through it at some point and I've not completed all the challenges or made it to 100% yet. As I said, online doesn't really appeal to me but if it does to you then the game has got even more longevity. ---Verdict--- Red Dead Redemption 2 is a masterclass in how great videogames are made and it deserves all the praise it is getting and then some. This isn't just game of the year for me but is even in game of the decade as far as that conversation goes. There are some minor gameplay niggles but the execution of everything else is near flawless or as close to it as you're going get. Go buy this now.

Myself I've been playing RDR2 since 26th October, then the RDR2 on-line for the last couple of weeks. Having seen some of the 1* reviews.... Let us all be aware this game is visibly stunning but it is not COD, nor intends to be. So if you want to run around shooting everything, then do not buy this game. It's not for you. The Story ... A single player game. Somewhere between a RP and FPS imo..... It is smooth and plays beautifully... You rob, hunt, fish and make some moral decisions ... What decisions you make, defines how the game plays for you. In story mode there is lots to do, loads to find and all sorts of fun to be had. But it is not COD, it indeed is really quite adult and the over 18 rating is correct..... Unless you want little Jimmy blowing people apart, literally, with a shotgun. There are endless YouTube reviews and details for the story, so if you want to know more..... The RDR2 On-line game.... Ostensibly it's the same map, the same quality of map, horses, characters etc etc ....... Then the game play ...... Awful, terrible, appalling, heart breaking and just so, so depressingly terrible after the Story. The On-Line is presently described as a BETA by R* ... It is quite blatantly not a BETA, rather it is a test bed to see how much they can sell to people in real life transactions...... For one example; a Mauser pistol......... In the story mode, where I can find all sorts of things like Gold nuggets and bars etc where a nugget is worth $25 and a bar $500 ... the gun is $250. It's nicely affordable. In the on-line version .... Where I can find basically nothing, not even a tin of peas.... Where earning money is incredibly difficult, R* made the gun $1,000. This is just one example of the broken economy. Also if any 'exploit' is turned up like the fishing was being used by 'grinders' to make money ... R* stopped that very quickly. In the story I can catch a wild horse, saddle it and make it mine.. in the on-line? No....... In the story I can sell that horse... Can I sell any horse apart from one I have bought? No. So after many complaints within a week R* changes the prices because it is 'responding to the players' ...... The Mauser is now only $600.... errrm? Then a couple of days later another patch which Nerfs anything which makes money, it raises prices on many things and the player's are back to square one.... There are no solo lobbies ... So Griefing, the activity of idiots killing everyone then sending messages saying 'Ha Ha!' are rampant.... The economy is broken ... There is little to do......... BUT they have managed to open the micro transactions store where for just $89.95 you can buy 300 gold bars. If you think the $89.95 sounds a lot - it is ......... If you think 300 gold bars buys a lot, it doesn't. Personally I adore the story mode, it is fantastic and a genuinely great experience ... I dislike the On-Line to an equal extent .... Apart from the paid for reviews on YouTube.... No players have a good thing to say about it.

Red Dead Redemption 2 was seriously one of, if not the best games I have ever played. I got this game around a year ago now and I am still finding new things to do in the story mode nevertheless. That is how detailed this game really is. The main map is huge with so many places to explore, and many things to do. There are side quests on top of “stranger missions, as well as challenges/achievements that can allow the player to have up to 600 hours on this game, on story mode. That is not even counting the online mode, where players can interact with the world with their own original characters. Don’t even get me started on the main story. The main story was breathtaking, it had many character arcs that left me feeling so in tune with Arthur, the main character, and his story. And the side characters even had in-depth stories, truly immersing you into the western world. The game mechanics are unique, and do not feel forced in. The game is realistic and deals with hard and complex topics, like if you need food you have to go through multiple tasks to hunt the animal, but it doesn’t feel tedious like other games might. The game even has a Journal mechanic giving you more insight into Arthur’s character, which is my personal favorite of the game. The journal is a great storytelling mechanic that does not feel forced in at all. The graphics in this game are so pretty. Everything feels so real, like animals play together and the sun reflects off of the snow in the mountains. Truly marvelous to just stop and stare sometimes off of a nice scenic mountain. This game is a 10/10 and I recommend it to everyone I come across, truly brings a new era into the gaming world for sure.

I played this game online and never owned a physical copy! Now I do! One of my all time favourite games! A must play for all gamers young and old!
