One of the most emotional journeys a video game has taken me on. It's been weeks and I still think about this game every day. Probably some of the most well-rounded and realistic characters that I've ever seen in any medium.

Plenty of well-articulated criticism has been made towards this game since its release. The missions are repetitive, the gameplay too linear, it's too long, etc. But none of this affected me and if it did, only in minor ways.
I love the balance it strikes between the cinematic story that you're playing through and "Realistic Cowboy Simulator 2018". I thought the gameplay and missions were always engaging enough and although parts felt repetitive, the story always carried it for me. Every time I thought something was starting to drag or take too long some crazy shit happened and all that build-up was worth it.

Every evening I wanted to boot it up and play for a few hours to see what Arthur Morgan and the gang were up to this time. Mostly doing story missions but occasionally taking a breather by hunting and doing side quests. I have memories of camping with my beloved horse under a starry sky. Like a great book, it feels like you were really there.

By the end, I was moved and overwhelmed.
Unfathomably immersive with such an engaging story and fantastic music.
What a journey. Can't wait to play this again when I'm like 60 years old.
