RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2
Red Dead Redemption 2 is a slow burn. It’s Breaking Bad in video game-form- it knows where it wants to go, but it wants to earn its ending and all its huge moments, and so it takes its sweet time to get to those moments, setting up everything bit by bit. It’s masterful storytelling- but while there are many who enjoy that sort of thing, some just find it to be a bit too slow. It is that pacing that makes Red Dead Redemption 2’s already hefty runtime of roughly 50 hours feel even longer. Add to that a section in the middle of the game that sort of kills the momentum – at least for a while – and the pacing begins to feel even more uneven.
