Story and characters

Story - The Story is simply the best thing of this game, and as the name says, it's about redemption (and mentally insane people).
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Graphics & Sound: The game is gorgeous; it is truly one of the most beautiful visual achievements in the history of video games.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Gunplay - Like in the old west, most weapons are single-action, meaning the hammer must be manually ♥♥♥♥♥♥ before firing, a thing that is very well implemented into the gameplay.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Voice Acting - It's simply incredible, all actors did an excellent job in portraying the language of the time as well as how the characters should speak depending on their mental states.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
19 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gunplay is satisfying, the animations are beautiful, and the environment is simply breathtaking.
Performance
Players who bring up Performance mostly praise it.
11 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Performance-wise, game ran well over 60 FPS and my PC is not high-end, so thumbs up for that, especially considering how it looks.
