I just wrapped this game up the other day for the very first time. I never got to play it on the seventh gen consoles, instead I recently played the rerelease for eight and ninth generation. The visuals of said version were quite impressive (I don't believe there were any changes to the textures of the game but it does run at a higher resolution and 60 fps) which I think really help this game contend with more recent titles. This game is an amazing journey following the impossible and thankless redemption of John Marston as he tries to escape his old life and repent for his sins. The voice acting is top notch, as most Rockstar games feature, Rob Wiethoff (John Marston) has such an iconic and gripping performance. Thanks to Wiethoffs amazing performance and great writing I got to fall in love with Marston, despite all of his previous crimes. This attachment that Rockstar crafts is what makes this game have so much weight as Marston works closer and closer to redeeming himself postponing the inevitability of his fate. For 2010 the gameplay is still great, what we expect from Rockstar titles, things like the "Deadeye" mechanic and their patented "Euphoria" ragdoll physics keep the game fresh and entertaining while still giving weight to your actions. This game was an absolute treat and makes me excited to revisit the prequel. I regret that it took me this long to get to this title but having already played Red Dead Redemption 2 I feel as though I have a great appreciation for this game. 4.5 stars, 90%, A
