Can someone explain to me what are the game's mechanics?
I've tried reading many reviews, and I see a lot of excitement about this game, with people talking about the story, or comparing it to the previous version, or talking about other stuff I'm not interested in.

What I'd like to know, while I'm considering to buy this game, is: what are the game mechanics? Is it a sandbox? Are there RPG-like stats and skills for your character? Can you build a base/hideout? What can you actually do in the game?

None of the reviews describe this.
Anyone can help?
Thanks! :joyface:

It has aspects of sand box, but minimally. I am not sure what you mean by mechanics, The game has a story that can be followed or ignored. No base can be built. Mostly, it is following a story if you want. Gunslinger type play, but no overwhelming bosses to face.

The game is a lot of exploring, hunting, shooting, stealing, fighting, and campfires. Not to exclude horses.

Ok, thanks for the info. I don't think it's my cup of tea then... :meepsad:

Just so you know... Game mechanics are the how each type of thing you do in the game works. For example, the way the game handles thirst and hunger, is a game mechanic. Building a base, is a game mechanic. And so on...

It's a Grand Theft Auto, but with horses instead. That's it.
