Once you get a feel for the character movement and get your horse to trust you, the gameplay becomes a lot less clumsy and a lot more controlled.

Graphics & Sound: The game is gorgeous; it is truly one of the most beautiful visual achievements in the history of video games.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
25 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
When animals, people, voice overs, music & sound effects, the weather system, the variety of minigames and the micro-systems play really well, they elevate the game immersion to great heights!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
20 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gunplay is satisfying, the animations are beautiful, and the environment is simply breathtaking.
Optimization
Players who bring up Optimization mostly praise it.
12 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Stunning PC Optimization & Storage Efficiency: In an era where modern games easily balloon past 150GB to 200GB+ for much shorter campaigns, squeezing a massive, detail-dense ~70-hour epic into a lean ~115GB install is a masterclass in asset compression.
