Understand the slower pace may not be for everyone, but I’m on my 5th replay. First time to ‘really’ take it slow. Still in Chapter 3 and I’ve earned the bottomless satchel, have an assortment of all the cool outfits I want for snow, swamp, camp and town. All of the available legendary animals have long been slayed, and I’m now working my way through the fish. I’ve captured the dream catchers and created countless recipes over a fire.

I don’t think there are very many ‘points of interest’ left to find and after locating all of the cliff-carvings, got a kick out of that interactive payoff! At the cost of 1 rabbit, I got a nifty jacket from Pearson, found a pipe for Dutch, and gave Tilly Sadie’s necklace (which still bugs me a bit), and found a thimble for Jack. The is the first time I’ve paid attention to conversations at camp and truly interacted with them…to the point of finding the Micha glitch and riffing insults at him for about a minute before it finally timed out. I’ve paid attention to Jack’s dog a bit and last night accidentally walked into the ‘moonshine’ mission and poured free drinks for ungrateful townsfolk.

At some point I’m going to work through the treasure maps I’ve accumulated and then go ‘bone hunting’ as far as I can before having to pass the rest off to John. This afternoon I’m going to go steal some horses and burn a field, but I’m being careful not to get too far into ‘3’ as this is my favorite campsite and I want to stay here for quite a while longer before moving on.

Clemens Cove is the last camp where the gang still has some collective hope for the future, still actively cares about each other. Man I love this game.

RDR2 is one of the best pieces of entertainment across all mediums I’ve ever experienced. It is an amazing game and possibly the first that truly felt like you were less of a “main character” and more like you were just existing in “the world” and happened to be caught up in your own adventure with everybody else living their own lives and in some cases adventures.

There is not much you can say negatively about the single player game barring personal preference/dislikes of the genre, games in general or the specific type of game.

My main play through was “good” and it made for a great tragic redemption arc.

Side note……….I’d have let Micah rot in jail. I may have gotten “lost” trying to save him.

I've never played any of them. Seems like I should add them to the list.
