Picked this up slightly late to the party but the benefit here is the additional content with the game of the year edition this adds the legends and killers extra maps for multiplayer, additional weapons and outfits, undead nightmare quite a fun twist in both single and multiplayer mode.
Gameplay is very much on the theme of GTA, but it's more than just a copy of that with a western theme, though as the franchise has move forward GTA V being newer does have a bit more polish still this is graphically strong and rewards longer play time. Starting off you're introduced to the basics of horse riding and shooting I would certainly suggest sticking to the storyline for a while rather than wandering off early on to explore the area (which is quite vast) Horse riding takes a bit of practice but you'll soon pick it up in case you're worried about travelling around a large distance without cars and planes you can set up camp then fast travel to locations you've been too, use a stagecoach and the horse riding speeds are a bit quicker than real life.
There is quite a lot to do here initially you are limited in skills and weapons somewhat slow to start give it a few hours to get up to speed. Other areas included some excellent side quests and gambling. Depending on how you play you can decide to be a good guy or a more dubious character this is reflected in the "honour" system this isn't fixed and can go up and down good deeds make the player more favourable to citizens and lawmen, whilst shady characters benefit from bonuses from outlaws. Fame can't go down only up and you get some perks for higher rankings up to the level of legend.
Very enjoyable game a bit slow off the mark in the early stages but picks up speed nicely once you have done a few missions.

Bought this expecting Original Version, got Essentials
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 September 2020
Save yourself the extra few quid buying the Amazon Choice Essentials Version for a few quid less, because I bought this thinking I'd get the Original Game of the Year and got the Essentials version.
