I had a lot of expectation for this game upon its PC release. Now that I have finally played it there are mixed feelings. If you are a RPG fan some parts of this game will most certainly entertain you and keep you in awe, just do not expect full RPG mechanics to be present since it is a Rockstar game and it is most comparable to GTA for instance. Therefore any fan of either RPG-s or GTA should like RDR2? No... One thing that has fully been able to annoy me at every point in the game is pacing. I understand Rockstar wanted to create a realistic dynamic world with many things to do in it, but the damn pacing... At any point the game can make you walk slowly, follow this guy on a horse, do this thing that takes 5 minutes. I am not impatient but just the sheer amount of things I need to wait for is retarded. Still very much enjoyed the story, the characters and the world (however slow it feels). Maybe the pacing problem is specific to me and the game is still very fun and cool to explore so I'd recommended 7/10

Ah yes

Needs no review. Good on ya CDPR, keep bringing in the good stuff. You've got my vote in these dark times.

Hour 1 - Oh hey look I got dropped a skin by random, it does look really neat.

Hour 1500 - Wait, where is my money? Skins! I spent it on skins! Oh wow look another case in the update!

Hour 1550 - YOU MONSTERS, YOU BLEW IT UP, DAMN IT ALL TO HELL!

Hour 1600 - Gambling sites you say? Oh look I got 100 dollars, damn this game is fun again!

Its HELL, leave the skins kids, really, leave them.

All in all pretty skill based, ME LIKE.

Highly recommend the game to any open-word survival games fan, and if you've ever been interested in dinos as a kid this is a game for you. I noticed a few minor and major problems devs should turn their heads to. But all in all the game is way too fun to notice them (unless you are my friend Mitch then you notice everything). Even better when played with friends

Incredibly fun with friends. I recommend this to anyone who likes open world games with elements of survival. Pwnage level 100!

Still banger almost 10 years later.
