If you can envelope yourself in this world, accept its incredibly leisurely pace, and embody Arthur Morgan, you’ll have an experience like no other video game.
Missions just start, or are found. Items are bought by browsing a store, not browsing a menu. You exist in this space. It is not a theme park.
Complete a mission far from home and you’ll spend a LONG time on horseback. Get dirty and you’ll have to pay for a bath. Run out of food and you’ll stop to make more.
They’re video games that feel like video games.
