Third-person action game set in 1911 where you play John Marston, a former outlaw blackmailed into tracking down his ex-gang members. The government's holding his family hostage until he delivers. You ride across the American frontier and into Mexico, taking on story missions that involve gunfights, horseback chases, and dealing with locals caught up in a civil war. Between missions, the open world offers hunting, poker, bounties, and random encounters with drifters and lawmen. Combat relies on a cover system and Dead Eye targeting that slows time for precision shots. Marston's path crosses ranchers, revolutionaries, and snake oil salesmen as the Old West gives way to federal authority. Suits players who want a slower-paced shooter with exploration between firefights.
