    Like others I bounced off RDR2 on the first try for all the same reasons, but mainly the controls..

    But... I enjoy any game that's fun to play, but my favourite gaming experience is when I'm genuinely blown away by a world, when it stops becoming a series of mechanics and you're entirely sold by the illusion and drawn into the world.

    For me personally the early Asassins Creed games were my fix for this, but on the current/previous generation I can't think of anything that comes close to RDR2, it's mind blowing what they achieved. It does control like a dog, the combat for me and aiming is hateful. Even some game mechanics like the wanted system airdropped in from GTA doesn't fit in such a realistic world.... but I'd argue its all almost forgivable for everything else they achieved.

    As someone else said, only negative is it makes other open world games like Assassins Creed look so dated, it almost makes them redundant.
