A weary outlaw, a gang falling apart, and a whole Wild West dying right in front of you.

Like Cyberpunk, the gap jumps out. Picked on gut feeling between two games, Red Dead Redemption 2 stays low, behind three quarters of titles. And then you look criterion by criterion, and it crushes everything. Fun, the urge to return, art style: ahead of 98% of games. Almost first as a desert island pick. Controller feel and soundtrack, very high too. That tension says something true: a game of wild richness, admired more than devoured, whose slowness does not always spark instant love.

Next to other open worlds, it pushes detail and believability further than anyone. Few games breathe this much life around you.

So, who is it for? For you if you take your time, if you like to sink in and savor every scene. Much less if you want pace and action right away: there, its slowness will weigh on you.
