Cinema view of the game Red Dead Redemption 2

A world really alive ?

In addition, we note that the temporal aspect of things is taken into account, a person will not be in the same place depending on the time of day, or performing the same task.
You will have to go to a specific point on the map at a specific time of the day or evening to meet an NPC (advertised as over 1,000). They will make your task more or less complex, a marshall passing at a specific time of the day will not hesitate to shoot you during a robbery for example, you could have dodged it by arriving earlier.

You will have to pay attention to act in harmony with your environment.

Our Review from Red Dead Redemption 2

After a few weeks of excitement, we must recognize that at first glance, we take a visual slap, But we will try to keep a cool head in order to deliver you the fairest verdict possible.

Sound revolution open-world ?

We must recognize that Red Dead pushes the limits of open world a little further thanks to the liveliness of the NPCs present in the game (character not playable) and to the creation of a organic world coming to life before our eyes thanks to multiple interactions. We can say that the world is more alive than for most games. It is not uncommon during a stroll in the woods of non-static NPC crusaders with scenes of fights that can take place, we see them discussing among themselves, getting organized, tackling tasks… in short, live without your intervention. You will then have the choice of helping them or going your way.

The writing assignment directed by Rockstar is pushed to your climax thanks to lively dialogues and not without interest. We appreciate the dialogues provided by Dutch, who armed with a foolproof charisma, will put everyone in their place.
In addition, there are always interesting things to learn, whether at the side quests or the story itself.

It must also be recognized that the musical soundtrack is masterful, with wide and broad music, the atmosphere is perfectly translated, we find ourselves in the universe of Tarantino between "the 8 bastards" and "Jungo Unchained".

You will also find that the characters evolve according to the adventure, so some "weak" at the start of the game will seem more "solid" as they evolve. Conversely for others, your opinion via vis-à-vis some will evolve throughout history. Considerable work has been done by the Rockstar teams with personal stories for 2/3 of them and over 70 pages of script that were composed for each of the NPCs, titanic work.

The characters around you will interact according to your style, clothing but also moral. So it will not be uncommon to see the doors close by half if you decide to switch to the dark side of the force, however you will arouse the admiration of some.
If you lend a helping hand, you will be seen as a hero by others, and side missions can be unlocked. There is no right or wrong solution, whether you choose the path of good or bad, every behavior has its pros and cons.
An honor meter will let you know how you are perceived at any time.

You will have in this organic universe, measured the consequences of your actions and the impact they will have on your evolution within history. So you will have to make choices, should I help the village sheriff? intimidate such a witness? or even why not kill him so that he doesn’t speak?… you see.

In terms of abuses, once this has been committed, a "wanted" gauge will activate like stars in GTA. Here, the marshalls will quickly crisscross the area and you will have to get out of the blue zone, if you do not want to be stopped in the second. be aware that once you leave the area, the search gauge will decrease, but until it is completely empty, you will be harshly tracked.
In addition, if you commit a massacre the searches will extend to the whole region. you will then have the choice between paying the premium so that the search field on you is lifted or else make you go incognito by changing clothes, shaving …
In order to limit stalking, you must therefore be careful not to be too impulsive in your violent actions.

The "wanted" or "searched" gauge is completely red when the search index is at its maximum

The negative points of the Open World

• you will not be able to complete all missions in the order you want, you are completely free in your movements but will not unlock the missions unless you have completed them to unlock the next one. This requires a lot of movement and is, in our opinion, one of the first faults of the game, since you will lose a lot of time in peregrination.
• Furthermore, expect a slow title. Unlike a GTA, where you can go across fields at more than 200km / h thanks to a state-of-the-art Ferrari, the actions are just as "punchy" but carried out more slowly, we take the time to admire and think at least before acting.
• We observe that the gameplay is basic because although wide (we get a little lost in the multitude of actions that are offered to us), we feel a certain heaviness in moving our hero, who actually moves slowly. In addition, when you are on horseback and stamping a rider for example, you have the impression of taking a wall in front of you. In addition we can find ourselves blocked at the entrance of a building if a character in the game is in front of our hero who does not have the idea of ​​putting himself in profile to facilitate the passage, we remain blocked while the NPC decides to move.
• We found some bugs, so when we tried to sit at a table to play the domino inside our camp, we found ourselves sitting on the knees or squarely in the body of a woman, who would not have not have the idea to get up to give us your place. Besides, during a mission where we had to bring a certain Micah to your sister (our ex boyfriend), after he is tempted to kill himself , and that we had to take him back on our horse to the station, we found latency. Because poof, after a fall, we had to wait more than 10 minutes for it to decide to get back on our horse without us being able to encourage it in any way whatsoever.
• The world is vast, but we don't meet so many characters as that. Most often, during our long crossings of cities in cities on horseback, we appreciate the beauty of the landscape but the world, although alive may seem slightly empty and lack animation. Most often we come across a few species of animals and scenes are set up. Here a traveler asks you to help him find your animals, there a man is stuck under a tree trunk, another screams for help because he has just been bitten by a snake or we see the Ku Klux Klan burn a cross during a ceremony. This can be explained in particular by the time we are going through because in 1899, the earth was less populated than today. The developers who wanted create a universe as realistic as possible.

You would have understood it the title is not entirely without flaws since some interaction problems with NPCs appear here and there, let's hope that Rockstar decides to resolve its few rare bugs quickly with a few updates.

More, missions following a life cycle, they can move from one place to another depending on the season, this is due to variations in climate. Smart on paper but for the player, it's not always easy to find your way around.

And what about the band to Dutch Van der Linde ?

• Our hero, Arthur Morgan unlike John Marston, who was in redemption, does not lace, he obeys the finger and the eye of your leader, what interests him is to be effective, whatever the means. he will impose your opinion with authority.
• Dutch Van der Linde : the leader of our gang, he seems impulsive but has an incredible charisma, with him "it moves".
• Hosea Matthews, the oldest in the gang. He seems wiser than your chief. He will try to reason with it. He thinks before acting and is always perfectly looked.
• Javier Escuela : seems to be the darkest personality of the band, he has no mood, except to satisfy your slightest urges. His dark eyes inspire the fear of all your opponents.
• John marston : its band is not very popular, it does not seem reliable. He is accompanied by your family Jack and Abigail.
• Sadie adler : joined the gang following the assassination of her husband by an opposing clan, she wishes to take revenge and is endowed with a strong character.
• Bill williamson : he is the "ugly duckling", and tries to assert your past as a soldier to shine in the eyes of the band but has trouble finding your place.

The band at Dutch Van der Linde

In general rule

Personalization : the places seem very diverse, customization is very advanced, even in the smallest corner of your look: hoolster, hat, color and style of boots, shirts, jacket …

graphically : The fineness of the graphic quality of the image is pushed to its climax. The traces of our footsteps in the snow are magnificent, doubled at the cinema view, it feels like the "8 bastards of Tarantino". The nature that surrounds us is also more animated, we can admire the effects of the wind on the canvas of our tent, see the movement on the branch of a tree when a bird takes flight …
There is no Clipping (decor appearing progressively) and no drop in Framerate (fluidity of the game). From a graphics and animation point of view, it is the most successful console game.

According to our information, we are getting very close to 60 hours of gameplay for the main story and over 100 with side quests.

For travel :

• our character moves with ease, even if we notice heavy movements when we move our character. In addition, like many games, you can activate the cinema view which will ensure that our mount follows a suitable route, so you can focus on the dialogues.
• You can also get around faster by train
• Have access to a rapid movement card once the camp has been improved.
• Our hero can swim on the surface but does not seem to be able to dive.

And for the links who unite us with our mount?

Our horse seems to be sensitive to its environment. In the event of a gunshot, he flees, if you whistle at him for too long a distance you will have to come closer so that he can hear you. Predators can scare him, he will then regularly move backwards. To strengthen the bonds and so that he obeys you better, you will have to learn to calm him down, take care of your well being, by washing him, feeding him regularly …
Once the stages have been crossed, your mount will be easier to maneuver, will obey better, will be able to make new movements such as arching, making tighter turns, moving sideways, will be less destabilized by the shots…

Your stable will contain up to 3 horses. you’ll need to develop bonds with each of them and start from the beginning with a new mount if your horse should die.

Of course, we also take care of our well-being thanks to nuclei of health, of energy, of cold blood for us and our horse. These cores will empty regularly over time and you will need to fill them up in order to keep yourself in good health and so as not to affect your missions. If Arthur lacks sleep or is hungry, we will see him running slower, having trouble aiming…

So you will have to eat healthy because too wheeled, you absorb shocks better but are less enduring, while skinny you will be less healthy but will have more energy.

The title is in VO in English but subtitled in your language natal if you wish.

the mini-games :

• Domino
• Poker
• knife game
• Failure
• Blackjack…

Just like for the first opus, we find the famous poker games

Probably the game most anticipated for 2025, after years of waiting, Rockstar finally points its nose, the title is finally available. From our first hours of play, the title is stunning with realism, we feel a universe worked with care and graphically the most successful title across all consoles. You will enjoy a best resolution with the Ps4 Pro and the X Box One X. The best graphic rendering is offered by the X Box One X console.

In addition a real story has been put in place, which gives meaning to our actions. The universe seems as realistic as possible by integrating many parameters (variety of dialogues with NPCs, world in perpetual motion, variety of reactions …). What we like less is the difficulty we experience in handling our hero because of a slow gameplay. We would have liked to have handled our character with more dexterity and speed of execution in your actions.

Overall, the title is very good but not without some flaws here and there, it is less "dynamic" than a GTA and leaves more room for admiration for the quality of the graphics and its writing work than for pure and hard action. We find the brutal universe specific to Rockstar with many scenes of firefighting, but the album is more contemplative. In addition, the missions offered to us are varied and not without interest. All mixed with a screenplay brilliantly.
