Not only is that game very much not overrated to me, you gave me a great idea with this thread
Just replayed the Mass Effect series (again), Inside, MW 2019 and was thinking which older game should I replay next and…BAM…Red Dead Redemption 2 it is
Just popped in for my 2 cents. Probably the top 3 best games I have ever played. I went through withdrawals after I finished it. I just about cried during some scenes and wanted to buy 1000 acres in Montana and be a cowboy while I was playing haha.
Only game I can compare rdr2 with is elden ring. I’ll explain in what way. Both games give you the feeling that you are controlling someone somewhere that is who the game tells you he is, they hardly feel like video games to me.
That’s what defines both these games for me, not their graphics, not their combat, but the fact that you are as free to do whatever you like as you can be.
For rdr2 in particular it baffled me how I probably never listened to the same line twice, it felt like I was controlling someone in the real world 150 years ago in the usa.
I suspect the only game that has the potential to give me that feeling again is starfield.
I totally get they’re enjoyable, solid experiences that a lot of people love. It’s just not for me.
It’s kinda like how NieR: Automata is my favorite game of all time and I’d declare it a masterpiece, but I totally get why many people my be turned off by it.
