A big part of what makes Red Dead Redemption 2 so epic is the sheer size of the world you’re exploring. You can literally spend hours on the fishing mini game alone. But that does mean that since it came out a few weeks ago, it has usurped a whole lot of time and focus.
Which is exactly what motivated this excellent review. ‘Should Your Boyfriend Play Red Dead Redemption 2?’ claims to be merely “a review of the experience of living with someone who plays RDR2“, but it’s literally the most hilariously accurate review of the game you’ll find online.
“My boyfriend has been playing RDR2 non-stop since launch and I’ve had to sit through shoot outs, listen to the murder of innocent bunnies, and watch some bath house girl wash his left leg.” The video description reads.
The girlfriend’s review gives credit where it’s due, complimenting the aesthetic and the music, but her commentary on the more ridiculous aspects of the game is absolute gold.
She laments the dude who says he has a plan (AKA Dutch van der Linde) “probably 600 times”, the fact that every upgrade in the game requires you to “like, kill Bambi or something”, the unsettling realism of the animal killings and horses doing sh*ts, among a whole lot of other insightful criticism.
Please enjoy, the best review of Red Dead Redemption 2 that has ever existed.
The Girlfriend Review is an absolute masterpiece from the YouTube channel Shelby & Daphne, which only has less than 900 subscribers (at time of writing). It looks like that’s going to start growing rapidly though because her video is fire and the audience is already demanding more.
Whether or not you know or even like Red Dead Redemption 2, this review is comedy gold that everyone can enjoy. A solid 10/10, thank you for (not) playing.
