This game has a really good story. Like, a REALLY good one. I definitely think it is worth playing, and this deserved GOTY over God of War 2018 in my opinion. My gripes with this game have to do with Rockstar's stereotypical system for making video games. The mission/level design is so painfully boring and uninspired that it makes me groan everytime I have to do one. You go from point A to B on your horse, shoot up like 50 people, retrieve someone or something, then ride your horse back, all while the story is about the characters trying to better themselves and the outlaws of the West are dying out. Im not sure what else I expect coming from Rockstar, the makers of GTA, but I sometimes find myself wondering what if this game was structured something more like Disco Elysium, or Resident Evil 4? Where instead of having a hundred filler and boring missions doing the same thing, each individual mission has a new and amazing mechanic to help tell the beautiful story that is RDR. The story aside, the online mode is as good as dead. No updates from Rockstar and the most toxic people ever. Also, in a game with so much to do, you often find yourself wandering around aimlessly with no real goal in mind. I've had some good moments with friends, but nothing to cement it among my favorites game of all time. The game should have been a TV show tbh
