It was definitely a breath of fresh air to see story DLC that Rockstar put out. One that only left me wishing we actually saw what could've come out for Grand Theft Auto V.

I enjoyed the overall story and characters getting revisited almost as much as I enjoyed the main story. The main missions felt a bit short, and I didn't realize that the final mission came when it was coming. It didn't need hours extra, but I feel like an epilogue at least would've left me feeling satisfied.

One of my main issues with going through the main story of RDR now was that the gunplay felt outdated, or at least didn't click with me. This led to the some of the loops here feeling like drags; saving the cities from hordes, clearing cemeteries, etc. The shorter cities weren't bad, but some of them had 5+ bubbles to clear, and it just started to lose me.

Overall a good piece of the "remaster" package, and a good DLC that I wish we got more of.
