The game looks beautiful, but that's where the positives end for rdr2. Rockstar seemed more interested in making a movie than making a video game. The controls are clunky and at time non-responsive. The game is too dependent and animations, thus you never feel like your controlling anything. Basically, the player watches things happen instead of being the reason they happen. Everything is scripted, including many gameplay sequences. The story is shallow and seems really forced in the mid to late game. Rockstar certainly doesn't deserve all the praise they've received. I could go on but this should be enough to get my point across.
