Red Dead Redemption 2 is out now, and reviews for Rockstar’s cowboy epic have continued to ride in. The takes are coming in like a stampede, so we’ve collected up all the critics’ scores to save you the trouble – and it’s off to a strong start.
It’s perhaps no great surprise that the game would perform well – Red Dead Redemption was a classic of the PS3 era. More recently, the developer’s latest release, a little game called Grand Theft Auto V scored extremely highly, and is one of the highest-earning pieces of culture ever created. With such pedigree behind it, Red Dead Redemption 2 was probably always going to do well.
And it’s been far from disappointing – I’ve seen plenty of five-star reviews, as well as a healthy number of nines and tens, all adding up to a massive 97 on Opencritic – making it one of the top scoring games in more than a few years. That makes it all the more frustrating that there’s currently no word regarding Red Dead Redemption 2 for PC. We’re pretty sure it’ll happen one day, but for now, Rockstar are keeping us PC players in the dark.
