I love this game.
I put 224 hours into it in the months immediately following release, just playing it without objective. I came back to it 5 years later to get my Platinum, and spent another 200 hours grinding for it. Most of the time that kind of grind makes me hate the game by the end. Not so with RDR2. There are definitely things I don't love about this game. How slow everything feels. How much you have to grind. How particularly unfair the Gambler challenges are. But all of the little things that bother me pale in comparison to what I love about the game: its amazing story, and completely jaw-dropping immersive world.
