Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC is an action adventure, open world game in which the player can roam freely with some elements playing out in third person, others in first person play modes. The player can commit crimes, but must then be prepared for law enforcement to hunt them down, ready to bring to bear the full weight of the law on the miscreant!
About the Game
RDR2, as the game is affectionately known, was released for other platforms before the PC release, and this saw the game gaining the title of best-selling game of all time, before the PC game figures were included. The reason for the game’s popularity is not hard to see.
Unlike games where mayhem and destruction are key, this game allows you to sink into the beauty of the Wild West scenery, and to form empathic and sympathetic bonds with other players and NPCs (non-playing characters) in the moments between the action driven sequences – of which there are also many.
You play as Arthur Morgan, a member of the Van der Linde Gang, and the linear storyline guides play through set story arcs, with Arthur completing missions and achieving objectives as he goes along, guided by the overall narrative.
Once each mission is complete, Arthur is free to wander the open world, exploring widely and uncovering new places and, occasionally, stumbling onto his next mission which he can play through before returning to his original point to continue from there.
Despite the tightly plotted story arcs, the game is strongly player driven, with your decisions deciding where the game will take you next. You can linger along each journey, catching villains committing crimes, helping people in distress and helping them with side missions, or you can pass them by, ignoring all the NPCs in your determination to get to your next destination.
Great Graphics
Given that the game sets a high consideration on the aesthetics of the game, it will come as no surprise that huge amounts of detail have been put into creating the best looking game play, backgrounds and movement shifts possible.
Shadows and reflections are more detailed and realistic than ever before with higher resolution and sharper definition. Trees, grass and snow all look and ‘feel’ more authentic as you play over them, with subtle alterations in sounds helping to give a realistic impression of the terrain over which you are playing.
Movement is more responsive too, with drawing weapons seeming fluid, and walking, riding and running authentic as far as the graphics and physics engines are concerned.
New Features to Look Out For
Horses – there are new breeds of horses for you to catch, tame and ride, including the speedy Warped Brindle Arabian; the Perlino Andalusian, an excellent hunter; the Red Chestnut Arabian, beautiful and fast; and several others. Try them all and see which best suits Arthur’s style of riding, fighting and tracking
Guns – there are several guns in this game that were only available in the online version of the first game, including the High Roller Revolver and Le Mat revolver, while the M1899 pistol is entirely new to this game
Talismans - keep your eyes open for gadgets and amulets that will give you aid. These include a shark tooth that helps you and your horse work as a team, a turtle shell that increases your health recovery speed (permanently) and a crow beak that boosts your looted ammo (also permanently)

Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most immersive video game experiences I've ever had. The stunningly crafted open world, the depth of the characters and the richness of the story are equally impressive. The graphics in the game are beautiful and detailed, as if I've stepped into a real-life Wild West movie. The varied missions and activities provide hours of fun, and the night landscapes and weather changes create an amazing atmosphere. Red Dead Redemption 2 is a true masterpiece, a worthy sequel to the first part, and a game in which all aspects of the gameplay experience come together perfectly to provide players with an immersive experience.
**Graphics** – Absolutely stunning visuals, with breathtaking landscapes, detailed environments, and incredible animations. However, the game can be demanding on weaker PCs.
**Story** – One of the strongest parts of the game. From beginning to end, the story pulls you into the world and makes you genuinely care about the characters.
**Atmosphere & Music** – The world feels incredibly alive and immersive. Everything from the clothing, weapons, NPCs, voice acting, sound design, and soundtrack fits together perfectly.
Cons:
**Occasional glitches** – Some cutscenes, animations, and gameplay moments can have funny or annoying glitches.
**Horse riding & shooting** – Both can feel somewhat clunky at times, especially when you're trying to move or react quickly.
**Optimization** – The game can be quite demanding, and FPS/performance may vary depending on your hardware and settings.
Score: 9.5/10
One of the best games I’ve ever played. The pacing can feel slow at certain points, especially early on, but the incredible world, characters, atmosphere, and emotional story make it absolutely worth playing. Red Dead Redemption 2 is the kind of game that stays with you even after you finish it.
Best game of all time and will still be the best in the future. This will be the last great game that any video game studio has published. GTA VI will be shit compared to this Masterpiece. Better than any movies made ever.
Best Game ever
Best story mod of any other games
Better than GTA Vi
Rockstar killed the online mod for profit
The online mod should have been as popular as GTA Online
It's so good you will be bored when playing other games
I stopped playing RDR2 after my old ps4 broke, but I had really been missing it. I just really didn't feel like dropping the money for something I already paid for just to play it on PC. Once I got the urge to be playing again I looked on instant gaming and was able to get a steal of a price for special edition RDR2 story mode and online. It is so worth it to play such a comfort game, and the key has been working smoothly for the two weeks I have been using the purchase.
