In fact, the entire chapter is highly reminiscent of several sections of a certain OTHER rockstar game, which also stars a bearded rugged man in a stained white button up shirt with suspenders, in a similar sort of a “South American” setting, who too murders many men, many many many many men (and in particular, men who hold authority in a government role) who wish death on him, with guns, and with an ability to seemingly slow time with his focus.Īnd did I mention the music? Because the electronic trumpet hybrid style of song that you hear during this chapter is entirely different from the musical tunes heard in the rest (or remainder) of the game. The shootouts are so cool in that South American setting. Now this is the kind of setting that I am NOT used to from this game” The linear structure is a nice break, the severe change in setting provides a very nice sense of a neat type of novelty.

The reason is? It is extremely cinematic and conducive to canon style gameplay (my favorite kind - basically where you’re able to act and move and behave in gameplay the same way the character would in a cutscene).

When you’re me, you are the kind of person who says “Chapter V is the best chapter in the Red Dead Redemption II or 2 kind of game”.
