It's not a perfect game, far from it. It's pacing and some of the restrictions and linearity of the missions can be extremely frustrating and confusing sometimes, but even despite it's many issues, RDR2 is a masterpiece of story telling, characters, immersion and detail. Arthur's story and character is one of the most realized things I've seen in any game, expertly voiced cast and characters with an attention to detail that surpasses any video game in the last 20 years.
