Yeah, it was so predictable, but as I'm reading the tests I'm not convinced at all by what the game has to offer.

Tomorrow is going to fucking suck. I'm getting the game tonight to install, get a small taste and then work all day tomorrow. I may cry.

Not surprised by the scores, but it's still good to see. Looking forward to getting into this one tonight. What a year for gaming it's been.

The review criticises the core gameplay mechanics (such as player movement and gunplay), and the world feeling contrived at times (due to stumbling upon 'random' events at their apex, instead of before or after critical moments, or the payment of a fine ending your pursuit by officers for serious crimes). In case anyone was wondering.

Oh whoops I forgot a link. Here: https://kotaku.com/red-dead-redemption-2-the-kotaku-review-1829984369

I cannot recommend this review enough. It's one of the best I've ever read.

Intentional or not, Red Dead Redemption 2 can be read as a meditation on failed leaders, and even as a potent critique of the internal and external cultures that Rockstar has helped perpetuate. Dutch Van der Linde is every inch the manipulative boss, frightening not only for his violent nature but for his ability to marshal people to work against their own self-interest. Time and again he reveals his shameless hypocrisy, and his promises of a new life are consistently shown to be empty maneuvering. "This isn't a prison camp," he says at one point, uncannily echoing every supervisor who has ever coerced an underling into a technically optional task. "I am not forcing anybody to stay. So either we're in this together, working together to get out together, or we're not. There simply isn't a reality in which we do nothing and get everything." I half-expected him to promise everyone bonuses if they hit their sales target.​

Really never heard of Slant Magazine but what is there reason for that number? I rather not go read any reviews myself, I've done so well when it comes to staying away from knowing anything about the game in fear of spoilers.

games scores usually drop as time goes on, but the difference is how much they drop

this could only drop one point when all is said and done
How many reviews are there? MC is dead for me.
If it's 40+ it's probably be either 95-97, that's usually how these go after the first batch of reviews.
my guess is it'll end up at 95. usually some nore critical reviews come out a bit after the embargo is lifted

Some of the things the reviewer in the IGN review gushes over makes the game sound like a chore to play honestly. I mean I'm sorry, but slow manual looting is not, and will never be a good thing
