Red Dead Redemption 2 is typically the game I think of whenever someone asks me what a "complete" game is like. An amazing story. Breathtaking scenery/setting. Gameplay that works perfectly. And aside from the occasional glitch, a game that really does make you feel like you're in it. The only downsides I've seen are pacing. In the mid-chapters, pacing is somewhat slow, and when compared to the beginning, can seem pretty boring. I kinda liked that though, because it gave me time, time I wished I had later on. It took me roughly 80 hours to complete the story and, yes, that's a long time, but you'll wish it was even longer.

That's the way it is.
