The DLC provides decent length of content and along the way we meet the same characters that we met in the base game.

The open world of Red Dead Redemption is fantastic as no game that I've seen has ever done a western setting at such a good level.

The graphics are very well-executed, and the art direction is absolutely magnificent.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.

On the positive side we have masterfully crafted gunplay: you feel every shot you fire, sometimes you have to rely on the trajectory adjustment of the bullet you are going to shoot (kinda reminds me of GTA: Vice City if you catch my drift), and I'll go as far as saying that this game's shooting mechanics feel even better than in RDR 2.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.

We also have some great ambience music and voice-acting: those "wild" guitar riffs still play in my head from time to time, making me question the entirety of my life decisions, and regarding the voice acting... yeah, everything is authentic, the emotions are there, and for a game of 2010, this "everything" sounds very solid.
Steam Deck
Players who bring up Steam Deck mostly praise it.

The game runs really well on Steam Deck LED as I can't remember experiencing any crashes during my gameplay or any freezes.
