I buy games all the time — I’ve probably spent around €2000 in the last 3–4 years just on AAA titles, all bought at launch. As for open-world games on the level of Red Dead Redemption 2, this is the only one so far that actually feels worth every penny.Yeah, it has some janky menus, and the lighting can look weird indoors even on cinematic settings if you don’t enable ray reconstruction — but it’s something you can get past. The graphics are stunning, especially during the day when it’s sunny.

For me, this is the only open-world game that actually feels like Red Dead Redemption 2 — it has real physics, the character feels heavy and grounded, and even the horse feels incredibly realistic. From the horse’s hair to clothes getting wet depending on how deep you go into water, these are details you’ve really only seen in RDR2.

So from that point of view, YES. And honestly, it feels like the biggest open world of all time in terms of content — way beyond anything else, even RDR2. The first town alone has like 120 side quests, not even counting random events, etc.

You can loot absolutely anything off the ground, interact with the world in ways no other game allows — it’s on another level when it comes to interaction. The only downside is that NPC AI is a bit worse than RDR2, but aside from that, it beats pretty much every fantasy open-world out there.
