Review of Red Dead Redemption 2(Xbox One, PS4)

Howdy y'all, this time SpartanCommander and his buddy, Martin rides off into the sunset to review one of the most hyped games of recent years (probably due to GTAV's commercial success). But can Martin's Desperados pull of the train robbery? or will he get arrested in the process? Let's find out!


This game is a prequel to the events of Red Dead Redemption, set in the good ol' days of 1899( 12 years before RDR1). Our gunslinging,  hombre, John Marsten's crew of outlaws has to evade the law [insert the Clash reference here] in an effort to protect his family.


Before we get into the scores, shout-outs to:

There' colorblind modes which can be changed on the fly.  So you can play this game with minimal-to-no issues.

Audibility 10
There are in-game subtitles so you can understand what's going on in game

Now... this is my only issue with this game. If you are using melee weapons like your fists, knives etc, But the issue exists when your gun is drawn, the controls drastically changes. When your gun is drawn the controls change from classic-style GTA controls to  the default controls in FPS games,

This makes the game unplayable for  players who has functionality in one hand. EA and DICE did the same in Battlefront 1(https://disabledgame.blogspot.com/2015/12/review-of-star-wars battlefront-pc-xbox.html), it's the same case with Rockstar has done the same!(seriously, we're paying £60 for this!)

Now here's another factor that really brings my blood to the boil- the controls in Red Dead 1 was perfect! why fix things when they are not broken!?



Gameplay 10
Well. You'll get what you paid for. the story is fun to play.  with tonnes of stuff to do.  There's also an online mode  with loads of stuff to do with your friends. Yeah, you'll get what you paid for!

In conclusion this game is brilliant, with stunning graphics on Xbox One X- even better on PC... if it does come out for PC that is!  An excellent gift for the GTA addict



  OVERALL SCORE- 87.5%




If they  have kept (or added an option for) the controls from RDR1 it would've been a perfect score!

See you guys in the next review!
