the perfect western game, replayed it after playing through RDR2. the gameplay/combat is way more snappy and satisfying than the prequel, switching weapons is faster, enemies have less health overall, turning off auto aim is actually feasible and cover is not necessary to fully enjoy the gunplay, the hit reactions that the weapons provide plus the sound design is also superior, this is the undeniable better game when it comes to bring an solid third-person shooter experience. only thing that I think it's better on RDR2 is the Dead Eye mechanic, it's somewhat stiff to use here.
the atmopshere and music is also outstanding, basically the perfect representation of an spaghetti western.
the dialogue and voice-acting is also pretty fantastic, Rob Wiethoff as John Marston kills it on every delivery, the ending is one of my favorites in gaming, the message behind it is tragic and mature, I can't think of an better way to end this franchise and this story.
this game also suffers from the classic Rockstar's outdated mission design though, prepare to face countless hours of horse riding and herding cows while following NPCs and go to point A to B with nothing new to offer, it's not worse than RDR2 though as the second half of the storyline is basically just shootouts and action, at least is more fun.
overall an fantastic game even today, close contender for the best game Rockstar put out on their history of incredible titles.

Fun game with a killer story. Getting revenge as John's son was so satisfying.
Very good story with gameplay that holds up, I played RDR2 first and I still prefer the story of that game.
Really, Red Dead Redemption could be considered the first game that I truly experienced, and remains one of my absolute favorites.
Looking back, nine-year old me really shouldn't have been given this game for Christmas, but man do I love my parents for having done it.

Dare I say I love this game even more than RDR2.

What a simple and yet incredible story. A man who will do anything to get his family back. He will go to the ends of the earth and kill people he once called his family to get his home life back. In the end, however, all of that crime catches up to him in the most unfair way imaginable. Killed in his own yard by corrupt government officials. The entire journey ends in a tragic manner, that is until your son several years later kills the man who called the shots. This game in a nutshell is about unfinished business. John Marston is a puppet who is used by the government to hunt down his former gang members. He has no choice but to go along with them or risk anything happening to his family. By all accounts, John Marston is a stupid man. Not a well educated man and not good at articulating himself in any setting. That’s what makes this game’s story so sad. Everything that John does in this game is ultimately rendered meaningless, because John was so focused on getting his life back that he never made an effort to distance himself from the government. They used his stupidity against him and they succeeded.

Que jogo bom, no começo eu não tinha me apegado muito, mas quando eu engatilhei, NOSSA SENHORA. Foi cinema, pra mim a experiencia teria sido melhor se eu não tivesse tomado spoiler, mas dito isso, jogão.
Gold!
Rockstar never misses. Only issue being that I’m not really a fan of the getting from one way to another by riding a horse through a giant open area for like 3 minutes. And also few of the missions are like what the freak. Hopefully (and probably likely) that’ll be better in Red Dead 2.
so much more clunky and boring than rdr2 which makes me frustrated that i’m playing it second- but still pretty good

Story is very good, and the gameplay just as much. Open world design is pretty standard for 2010.
Red Dead Redemption struggles to balance its spaghetti Western and epic Western aspects, but the story is riveting.
Standard great and well made game for the 2010s everything that isn’t the main story falls short due to the overarching tale being so exciting
Replay for the first time in three years;
What can I say? My favorite game of all time.

What a stellar, STELLAR game. John Marston riding into Mexico is the only sector in all of gaming which has gotten me sentimental as an adult without nostalgia playing a factor. Let's not even mention that ending lest we spoil someone's fun. This is how you make a cinematic game. Instantly among my favorites.
Tremendo juego, hasta es posible que me gustara mas que el Red Dead 2

Pas un seul mot pour Arthur dans toute l'aventure, connard ingrat de merde
finished on the switch lol this was. Okay? no way in hell am i 100 percenting it i feel like i got the experience i needed. took me more than a month to complete because of that stupid beaver side quest 😭 kinda clunky and dated at times but john was okay as a protag! couldn't care less about the other characters. lots of riding around and filler missions. was relieved when it ended. don't think i'll be picking it up again.
Janky ahh mechanics, great story tho.
Shoutout nonna for copping this one for me fr
Most missions are super boring, great overall story though
Me encanta, me encanta, me encanta. RDR1 es mi RDR, con perdón de toda la gente que ama y adora RDR2. A diferencia de ese juego, este es mucho más rápido, conciso y en lo personal, más divertido. Cabe mencionar que ambos juegos son géneros distintos: si bien el primero es un GTA en el viejo oeste, el segundo es un Immersive Sim. Hay público para ambos y entiendo porqué la Humanidad entera piensa que el segundo es mejor, pero no puedo negar que el 1o es exactamente lo que quiero cuando pienso en un juego Western (junto con Gun, pero ese es más una caricatura del Viejo Oeste)

Amazing game.
John Marsten is a fantastic protagonist. His attempt to achieve redemption is compelling.
The world is expansive and feels alive. It is really immersive.
Gameplay and graphics are a bit dated, but not too bad.
Combat is a little clunky.
Most of the missions are enjoyable, but there is some strange stuff in this world.
There are some memorable characters in addition to the protagonist.
The soundtrack is really good as well.
The ending is actually shocking.
