Red Dead Redemption 2 is not perfect, but yet again, no game is. However, it is the most expansive and detailed game so far, and even today, five years later, when it comes to realism, attention to detail, and even graphics, it has not really been topped. Additionally, there are numerous random encounters with various outcomes based on your choices, side quests with the usual hilarious and deep comedy of Rockstar, and an emotional and engaging story about redemption that makes you think about yourself and the world you live in.
The one or two real shortcomings I recognize in this game is that the combat is really mediocre, acceptable yes, but not particularly enjoyable after a number of hours, and that Sadie is a bad caracther because she goes against the message that the game tries to portray, wich is that revenge is a fool`s game, she is also a mary sure, who can fight dozens of outlaws with little gunslinging experience. otherwise, i think this is one of the best games ever made.

@Schmliff0 Yes it is shown that she hunts by herself and with her husband, while that gives general gun knowledge I don't think it really translates to killing people that are also shooting back and running, taking cover, and ducking, she's just extremely good at shooting in the first combat scene she's in, the revenge thing is more that revenge is frowned upon in the red dead universe, almost everyone that takes revenge is negatively impacted, Arthur doesn't thing the gang should be taking revenge instead they should be trying to get to safety by staying quiet, when dutch does it he frowns upon it, but when Sadie does it, he also does, but refuse to got with her in the final mission she takes revenge and for some reason it's a low honor act, Sadie also doesn't suffer any consequences, she kills everyone she wants and gets to live happily ever after, while for others that did the same there were consequences, I think she's lucky yes but there should have been some sort of consequence for all of her dumb acts, she gets Arthur in danger, gets an innocent man killed, and nothing ever happens, that is my problem.
@HarleyS0 I understand your viewpoint. It felt more natural to me when I played it, but it was 4 years ago. Perhaps the narrative does fail to punish her. The way I saw it, she was lucky because she had people to pick up her slack and slowly learned over the course of Chapter 3 and 4 before taking the helm in 5. I will reevaluate on my next replay.
