More about Red Dead Online
None of the 399 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written June 2026 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 57 percent of the 3,037 reviews written there were positive, against 83 percent overall, and those are 5 percent of everything written about it. It sells extras on top of the sticker price (currency, free-to-grind); the score docks it lightly for that.
Finishing takes 11 hours; clearing it takes 130, which is 12 times the campaign.

What players say
game is full of bugs and glitchs, runs like a dogs breakfast, tried to complete my first mission in tumbleweed have to bash the gang members in the saloon could't select weapons, couldnt punch even though i was pressing the buttons for the size of this game and the sad state dont bother
2 more reviews, 1 not recommended
you cant even play online for 10 mins and your already getting hacked by hackers . and i had to disconnect my pc from the power cord. this game will end up destroying my pc. 100% not recomended
Pretty fun if a bit repetitive. The community is the only questionable aspect. like GTA 5 the game is infested with people who want nothing more than to ruin your experience and that is exacerbated by cheaters who will teleport directly to you and blow you up or set your honor as low as it can go. The mechanics on the other hand are clean and you get the quintessential Red Dead experience when things are going well.
