Games made by Rockstar are like Tarantino's movies - the setting might be different, but the distinct vibe is there. There are tons of open world GTA-likes out there, such as Sleeping Dogs and Saints Row, but none of them brings me the same kind of joy as actual GTA games. This one, despite being less similar, does. Never was a huge fan of westerns and horse riding, but loved it in this game. The gun shooting is super satisfying, didn't hear such amazing weapon sounds for so long. The story wasn't really long or complex, but meaningful and brutal, kinda like in GTA IV. The console controls kinda sucks - thumbstick aim is godawful by definition, also hated clawing my pointer finger to adjust the camera angle while mashing the A button to accelerate. Other than that - the best game I've been playing lately, hope RDR2 holds the bar.
