I recently had a playthrough of Red Dead Redemption 2, and this article lists all the things I felt. When I played it the first time in 2018, it was slow – painfully slow. But I liked it; today it feels like relaxation and deceleration.There was an episode of The Big Bang Theory a few years ago where Sheldon said he was going for a walk, then he went to his Xbox and played Red Dead Redemption Part 1. This is how I feel about Part 2.

I also like that we play a 40-something cowboy in the latter age of his career, and you see that his best days are over. When he runs, he runs fast, but when he stops, there's a slow moment where he's going slower, jogging out, and you feel it.
Or I feel it as I'm the same age 🥲

And then there are these explosive moments where it's fully epic - a train approaches, and we slowly step above a wagon with a rifle in hand, looking epic. This is cool, stylish, and why I love that game.

Also this time, it had the same effect as the last time I played it. Back then, I was stunned by the gameplay, by the story, by everything it offers. After that, I played an Assassin's Creed game—I think it was Odyssey—and I was getting on a horse in the game, and I hated it. It felt stiff; it felt horrible, and it was a difference between night and day. And now, after I played it a second time, I think it destroyed my interest in other games again.
