Superb world building, gameplay mechanics, and production value. However, I find the story is uninteresting and gameplay bland. It's a pretty usual revenge, outlaw, love narrative with a combination of riding horses/carriages for hours, then shooting some enemies. I can see the appeal, but it's not for me. I'm not much a fan of wild/old west period-piece games, but I figured I'd give this a shot, given it's currently the 7th all-time best-selling game.

But, again, the world building and set-piece design are about as good as they come. I also thought the illustration of the "taming of the west" was well done - showing the spread of factories and industrialization, the contrast of the barren west to budding industry.
