The storytelling of Red Dead Redemption 2 was phenomenal. The world built by Rockstar truly brought the western setting alive. Top notch cinamatography and game direction was unmatched as it truly felt like I was watching those old time western movies again. It was very easy to get lost with side stories/missions when playing. The slow story burn was hard to enjoy at first, but once it got going........ well, it really got going. My only complaint was the epilogue being quite long. I definitely would've enjoyed it more if I played the first game.
