"One of the best games of this generation of gaming."
Consider that the game is supposed to be ABSOLUTELY HUGE, we imagine that reviewing Red Dead Redemption II isn't the easiest thing in the world.
That being said, some outlets have already been publishing their thoughts and opinions on the epic western prequel (yep, it takes place before the first RDR), and early word is nothing short of incredible.
At the time of writing, there were already 37 reviews giving the game a perfect score in their write ups, but here are just a few of the insights given so far:
"Red Dead Redemption 2 is an immense, breathtaking experience that will be treasured for years to come. 10 out of 10." - We Got This Covered
