I'm commenting on RDR2 because it's my last finished game, and I also had trouble getting into it at first three years ago. Particularly the slower pace and the pretty low intensity of events, initially when you're at Horseshoe Overlook (the first camp the gang stays at). The thing is it builds up slowly, bit like a movie, or a show. And it never stops upping the ante, at some point it throws at you spectacle after spectacle, and at this point you are possibly so invested in the characters (character writing being nothing short of excellent) that you're all in this cowboy fantasy. Basically it's a slow first quarter and then you're in for surprises
Will have to play Stray. It's very intriguing.
