Really good character work, really pretty world. The pacing is all off, but once you get to actually play the game maybe a few hours in beyond all the tutorials and cutscenes, it strikes a lowkey level of fun. The amount of stranger encounters makes exploring the world exciting. Not a fan of the morality system, which was in LA Noire, too, and all it did was force me not to experiment with the mechanics because then I become an uber-murderer jerk. The notoriety system was also a bit wonky. Sometimes I'm out in the middle of nowhere and somehow a witness or policeman will find me. I get it's to start the 'chase' element of the gameplay that's kind of inherent to criminal stories in GTA/Red Dead, but it didn't fit as well here. It apes a lot of good westerns, but generally does it well and without being too on the nose with it, and I like good westerns, so I enjoyed this all things considered.
