One of the most legendary games I have ever played. There is so much substance in this game and details within the story that transcend the bounds of typical games. Modern AAA games have little creativity and attempt to pander to everyone, making them lose the depth of their stories and garnering little interest for the rest of the play-through. This game alone reminds me of how classic games had one motive and it was to develop things because they were fun to them and just because they can. I would like to touch on the subject of the storyline but that would leave too many spoilers, but let us just say that you can choose to play as an absolute devil of a gunslinger or a selfless being; with respective outcomes to the storyline. You can ride horses, rope bandits and hogtie them, choose the Cattleman lifestyle or semi-automatic, hunt animals and harvest flora to craft special tonics. The introduction to the game does take a while and reminds me a bit of Oregon Trail strangely in the sense that you are met with the harsh conditions and the members of the gang make decisions to make their survival – portraying how crude the world is in that age. There are several things that I can go on about for this game but the rest is to be enjoyed and experienced. If you are a fan of mystery, older way of life, history, scientific advancement, drama and incredible suspense with an even more astonishing climax this is the game for you.
