Scummy Behavior from Rockstar

A monumentally huge game with an unprecedented level of detail and the resulting atmosphere, which is difficult to find competition, fantastic audiovisuals, a magnificent soundtrack, an interesting narrative and (un)likable characters whose fates are etched in the memory.

The starting line is extremely simple. Dutch's gang is on the run after a botched heist. He needs to find enough resources not only for survival, but above all for a definitive escape somewhere far away and even further, where everyone will start a new life.
But it's not that simple and the gang doesn't stick together the way Dutch would like. External pressures are gradually added to internal ones, one story event follows another, and conflicts of all kinds begin to increase in intensity.
With your permission, I won't tell you anything about the story itself and even more about its outcome. Luckily, Rockstar also held their tongues, and if you don't let the game get spoiled somewhere else, you'll be in for quite a few big surprises.

Thanks to the large length of the game, the characters have enough room for development, and that there is room to develop.
The creators really didn't rush anything, they let the internal and external conflicts mature properly, and when it bubbles to the surface and it comes to breaking bread, some scenes can make you emotional. More than once, my eyes widened in surprise, I had goosebumps, or I felt outright disgust at the actions of certain characters. And I laughed out loud several times.

Rockstar has also not been afraid of controversial topics for a long time, and the story of Red Dead Redemption is no exception. Dutch's gang plays the absolute primordial role, but now and then the story can easily touch on such topics as slavery, colonialism, treaties with Indians, torture, racism, women's rights, etc. But it is never a significant part of the game, just as from I don't feel that the creators are trying to push any agenda of their own.

You can enjoy John Marston here as one of the gang members, but Arthur Morgan is the main driver of the game. An outlaw, gangster and one of the most loyal and senior members of Dutch's gang. Arthur is tough, uncompromising and not afraid to kill, but he has his own sense of honor and order.
Arthur is primarily yours, and that sense of honor and order may or may not suit your perception of such things. With unobtrusive and obvious decisions, you gradually shape this stubborn lump of model to your own image, both internally and externally.

The gang is chased by one calamity after another, and the oppressive realization settles in the souls of its members that it probably won't get any better. You will know each of them by name, understand why they are with you, and love them. Or to hate him, of course, but never because of some primal evil that the creators would throw at you like a piece of meat to bite into. And that is also the mark of a well-written actor.

I have already come up with the right word to describe this game. Unprecedented. 85%
