Yeah, RDR2 can be frustrating. It can be rigid, it can be fiddly, it can be patronizing.

But that does not change the fact that it has some of the best writing and characters, as well as some of the best vocal performances, of any piece of fiction in any form of media I have ever seen or experienced.

The trifecta of Sadie, Arthur and John are all amogst the ranks of my very favorite fictional characters of all time (and not just in video games).

... if you kinda hate this, I completely understand. But if you are patient, and if you like a subdued storytelling, than you have one of the most overwhelming and emotionally evocative epic westerns of all time waiting for you.

"You did your worst, you tried your best,
now it's time to rest."
