I wish I could consider this a favourite game, without a shadow of a doubt it is Rockstar’s best story, and I personally don’t think that the story would’ve worked in any other medium, there is no other medium that allows us to connect with a protagonist like this, to spend so much time with them. That being said, the story and gameplay are very disconnected to me, it is Rockstar’s game design at its worst, and that’s just so disappointing. As a long-form interactive story, Red Dead Redemption 2 ranks highly, but as a coherent and connected game that merges that story with the actual gameplay, it suffers greatly. Treat your employees like people.
