What makes Red Dead Redemption 2 so good? The press likes how players are drawn into the story as cowboys and the challenges they face.
- Level – 100 points: “Not just great for western fans. No other game probably offered so many ways to live out in the open world while simultaneously showing such an interesting, rough, and moving story. A great experience with a somewhat slower start.”
- Easy Allies – 100 points: “Red Dead Redemption 2 tests the limits of immersion. Few games look so good, play so well, and offer so much. It asks you to slow down, turn every page of its dramatic story, and enjoy every last breathtaking detail. It challenges you to be ready for anything and make the right decisions when they matter most. […]”
- XGN – 98 points: “Red Dead Redemption 2 exceeded our expectations. Rockstar knows how to create a massive, living open world where Arthur and the Van der Linde gang seek happiness and fame. A new standard for action-adventure games has been set.”
- GamePro Deutschland – 96 points: “It [the game] raises the bar in almost every aspect to a new level that, at least in this generation, will probably not be surpassed by any competitors. Red Dead Redemption 2 is another Rockstar masterpiece and an example of what modern video games can achieve. Both narratively and staged, but above all, technically. The best game of this console generation so far.”
