https://www.cnet.com/news/why-im-worried-about-red-dead-redemption-2/ > I have no doubt that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be a good game. It'll probably be even better than that -- it'll probably be great. And to be clear: I love the original Red Dead Redemption. As in, it's in my top five games of all time... and I've played a lot of games. Admittedly, the gameplay trailer for Red Dead Redemption 2 released on Thursday looks fantastic. The graphics are stunning and the gameplay looks fluid and deep. > With all of that out of the way, based on the reaction so far, I seem to be the only gamer who's not completely over the moon about Red Dead Redemption 2. The first Red Dead Redemption was better than fantastic -- it was magical. That's why I still regard it so highly almost a decade after it was released. And nothing I've seen from the trailers has convinced me it's going to be as bold as the first.
