Para iniciar a review, primeiro devo dizer que zerei primeiramente o Red Dead Redemption 2. Red Dead Redemption 1, foi um jogo que sempre sonhei em jogar, mas não possuía os consoles da época, a vinda para o Switch foi uma bela oportunidade para conhecer esse jogo de 2010. Aqui temos o controle de John Marston após os acontecimentos do Red Dead Redemption 2, dando um desfecho para o restante da gangue. O jogo mesmo sendo de 2010 possui gráficos lindos e mecânicas que não são tão datadas, a história era exatamente o que eu desejava em um jogo deste estilo. Devo dizer que certamente a franquia Red Dead já marcou história na indústria de jogos. Minhas únicas ressalvas e o motivo para o jogo não estar em 5 estrelas são: O corte do multiplayer nesta edição de Switch e por ter algumas missões repetitivas de mais, mas nada que me fizesse cansar do jogo.

Well, this wasn't as good as I expected but it was still nice!
The story drags way too much and there's too much "fetch" missions and it only really gets going near the last 3/4 hours.
The gameplay is nice, although in small spaces, like inside houses or huts, sometimes it's a bit hard to control John, this is also a problem in RDR2 lol. The gameplay is similar to RDR2, although without some of the more realistic elements that are present in the sequel.
Content wise, it's good! You have a couple of minigames you can play, you can do bounty hunts, some interesting side missions and 57 main missions.
Graphically wise it still looks quite good for a 14 year old game, I'd have liked some more improvements but whatever.
The soundtrack is ok, could've been used way more.
The voice acting is good, like in all the Rockstar games I've played.
RDR1 is (understandably so) a more barebones version of RDR2 so I may be being too harsh because I played RDR2 first.
Overall, it's nice but the story could've been better paced and some characters more fleshed out.

Logo de cara tenho que falar que prefiro as missões desse primeiro jogo doq o 2 e não só isso a história também eu prefiro a do primeiro, talvez por ser um jogo de escopo muito menor que o 2 foi aproveitado melhor cada missão (por mais que tenha uns erros grotescos de uma missão "spoilar" outra)
Não sei se vai fazer sentido pra vocês
Mas sabe quando você é adolescente e parece saber a resposta pra tudo? Aí você faz todo um roteiro que por mais que contenha algumas coisas absurdas é bem junto ao que você quer demonstrar?
E depois você adulto tentar recriar um roteiro similar e você já... Não é que você ficou mais burro ao envelhecer é que você adquiriu tanto conhecimento e já não enxerga uma verdade só e começa a ficar muito turvo a mensagem que você quer passar?
É oq sinto do red Dead 1 pro 2!
E pensem numa sequência de jogos boa é essa! Enquanto o primeiro é sobre a redenção de seus atos em que todos os personagens vão fazer questão de lembrar ao John que ele foi um criminoso.
O 2 é mais sobre a redenção do indivíduo, espírito de paz se quiser pensar assim. O Arthur vai remoer que é uma pessoa má enquanto muitos a sua volta vão aclamar ele como um homem bondoso.
E eu poderia ficar comentando por horas e horas sobre os dois jogos
Mas no final é apenas foda de
Surreal revisitar esse jogo
Primeira vez que joguei eu tava no meio da minha adolescência então rejogar agora teve todo uma resignificação junta!

not the promised masterpiece due to some very annoying flaws, but god damn if it isn't a fine game.

wish it was shorter, the game could do without making you do around 50 favours for a single npc before they finally decide to be useful.
the game mostly consists of a awesome story buried in an absurd amount of favor quest,
john : come on do that thing you promised
guy : sure sure.... uhhh could you do me one last thing for me ?
john : god damn sure, but if you ask again i'll kill you
he'll ask again 5 more times and john does not in fact, kill him, this would be fine if it wasn't the entirety of the game, this game is about 17 hours in lenght, and i say it could be 7.
i left satisfied and pleased, but still expected more from the internet's claimed greatest game of all time

After loving the 100+ hour experience that was red dead 2 I decided to come back to this game as i a) wanted to see john marston's story in the original and b) saw that it had recently been re-released for the ps4 and switch and could easily access this great game without having to go out and look for a physical ps3 or 360 copy of the game.

Almost 14 years later and this game still holds up exceptionally well. From the 3D open world rockstar games I have rolled credits on (everything except gta 4, red dead revolver and bully), I think this game might have perfected the cover system that has been in these games since from what I remember SA. I find the cover system in rockstar games in general to be pretty clunky, with SA barely protecting the player and V and RDR2 struggling to put the player behind any object whatsoever as in those games half the time I pressed the cover button my character would have a 50/50 chance to hide behind a shitty crate or hug the wall. However I never felt that problem in RDR1 as John pretty much went exactly where I wanted him to be, and the cover itself did very good protection allowing me to enjoy finding my opportunities to kill specific enemies in a tough encounter.

I didn't have high expectations of New Austin in this game, as I found it to being laughably underutilized and boring in red dead 2, but this game somehow managed to make traversing an almost completely baron wasteland actually enjoyable, as the stranger missions, gang hideouts and wide range of animals made exploring it extremely rewarding.

I also didn't know what to expect with the story, but was pleasantly surprised by how well it still holds up to today. It made me like RDR2 even more as the mysterious characters like Bill and Dutch in this game were given an opportunity to be developed further in RDR2 and in a way that made going from 2 to 1 feel extremely natural and enjoyable.

I was however spoiled on a couple major events in the story which admittedly did take a hit on my desire to see this game's storyline to the end, but I'm glad I did as it's narrative and characters are very strong and compelling. Aside from John, Bonnie MacFarlane has risen as one of my favourite characters in this universe, Nigel West Dickens and his antics always made me laugh, and the entire mexico saga I believe is one of the strongest chapters I've seen in a rockstar game.

Overall, this game still holds up incredibly well today, and it's re-release on modern systems allows accessing it's great story easy and accessible to all. This is definitely a must play, especially if you enjoyed RDR2, and is certainly in the upper echelon of Rockstar's phenomenal games.
