I played this for the first time in 2024, 14 years after release, mostly because I just wanted to have a more full experience diving into RDR2. I found myself completely captivated by this story, and the gameplay, while dated, offered enough variety to keep me distracted from what was initially supposed to be a main story speedrun. I’m SO glad I played this first. Everything in RDR2 is enriched by this experience.

Solid premise with a decent enough story and fun gameplay. Side missions leaned a bit too heavy on collections for my taste, but the story driven side quests didn’t overstay their welcome.

Tried playing it on the original 3DS, just could not get into it
