Red Dead Redemption 2 has been talked about so much since its original release that it's hard to find anything new to add. But after spending a lot of time with the game - completing every aspect, encounter, and mission, and racking up a few hours in Red Dead Online - here's our take.


We're throwing our two cents in the wide-brimmed hat and giving you our take on one of the best games of the last 12 months - maybe even this console generation - and why, if you haven't. already done, you have to visit this particular rodeo.


Our quick review

We're not the first, and certainly not the last, to wax lyrical about a Rockstar game, but Red Dead Redemption 2 is a magnificent experience.


It's a stunning throwback to the Wild West for the developer, and once again proves it's just as capable outside of the world of modern crime and supercar capers.


Where this particular game perhaps impresses most though is in its deeply involved, heart-filled story that lives with you long after the last bullet is fired. And with Red Dead Online then waiting for you to continue your adventures, it offers more than many triple-A games put together.


Simply superb. Art, in fact.
