Honestly, the game starts off very slow so you’ll need to a little bit patient. But your patience will be greatly rewarded because the game goes full throttle once the narrative picks up its pacing. Hunt down wanted bandits, win quickdraw duels, fish, rob trains, hunt animals, play poker and so much more in this massive open-world masterpiece.

Revolving around a Karma system, you can choose to be a heroic savior or an evil anti-hero by how you play and the important story decisions that you choose.
