I've spent an ungodly amount of time with Red Dead 2 and your enjoyment of this game is entirely going to come down to what perspective you bring into it. While it has high-action sections, the vast majority of the game is spent in slow and quiet moments. Sometimes it gets a little TOO slow for it's own good and for the sake of realism.

It's a really special world that's been built here and a game that sets a high bar for other open world games in the genre.
