unpopular(?) opinion: RDR2 is a boring graphic novel deceptively advertised as an open world FPS. The pacing is slow, the gunplay is garbage, and the core 'gameplay' loop is just a chain of unskippable CGI. I bought it based on the reviews, played for about an hour while experiencing an increasing sensation of buyers remorse. Never again. It's the last game I bought without pirating it first to see if its any good.
If you play on PC you can mitigate a lot of the slow/survival aspects with mods
I quite like it. Once you get used to the timings of actions you can be quite fast and fluid in combat and it's good enough to carry the game by itself, much better gunplay than gta. And the story is not the worst, though it is a slog occasionaly. Graphics do a lot of heavy lifting
