friend of mine put it best when she said “ on the one hand, the extremely tight narrative of the missions clashes aggressively with the open-world design, punishing you for straying from the path while the rest of the game encourages you to do just that. On the other, those tightly choreographed sequences allows RDR2 to tell a surprisingly mature and thoughtful story unlike any other in the entire interactive medium”

story was very very good, especially toward the end. epilogue felt like 10 more hours of pulling teeth we really didn’t need that. gameplay really was not fun but i did like running around on my horse following raccoons around
