It was really really good.

Only a handful of gameplay missteps held it off from being a masterpiece.

And yet no one talks about it. I see more people today talking about Bioshock Infinite than RDR2 and that's a shame.

even with those "missteps", it's still a masterpiece, IMO.

Thank goodness they spent resources for shrinking horse testicles.

Modern R* games have severely railroaded story missions that allow no creativity, despite the otherwise open-world nature of them

I made it about halfway through the game before I got tired of riding to every story mission, then riding to a location, having a shootout, and riding back.

Never felt like a problem in GTAV because driving is inherently more fun than riding a horse in a video game lol

It is amazing. One of the best made even. Loved it all the way through.

I'm 15 hours into my first playthrough of it and while I do think the game is a masterpiece for some reason it always feels like a chore for me to play.

There's some massive gameplay mistakes as users have just mentioned

EXTREMELY restrictive join the dots main missions, losing your big guns if you get off the horse too fast, clunky controls.

But in terms of attention to detail, world building, atmosphere, content, story, characters, exploration. It's just wonderful.

You can just feel the burning passion the devs had

I don't think RDR2 is glossed over at all. It's called a masterpiece all the time.

I'm still blown away that I'm finding out new small details about it nearly five years later. Like how Arthur's pupils dilate based on the light. Or wolves mourning the loss of other wolves.

It's a great cowboy simulator but it's a boring game.
