FYI, Fakespot gives grade F on the Red Dead Redemption 2 Amazon reviews. Grade F means that fake reviews are very likely.
In the first month after release RDR2 reviews have been in the 3-4 range on 3 local Amazon sites pages I use. Then, on two of them they climbed to 4.5 within few weeks. One explanation is that people who really played through the whole game started reviewing during the holidays, but then Fakespot would not detect them as fake reviews.
For comparison, Fakespot on other recent open world games:
Witcher 3
Grade A (low chance of fake reviews) [edit actually ranks F]
Breath of the Wild
Grade A
Horizon Zero Dawn
Grade A [edit actually ranks a C]
Wish I had the privileges to post this as a new thread. If someone who has them reads this, feel free to open it yourself.
