so what games sit should to shoulder with this experience?

GTA V and the first Read Dead Redemption. I need to go back and replay RDR now because EVERYTHING in that game is going to take on a different meaning. In that one we are following Marston around as he goes down his 'Hit List', but there is no connection to those on the list because we never see what they did in the past. We only hear what Marston tells us. In RDR2, we finally get the full story that is only hinted at in RDR. So yeah, gotta replay that and I'm sure my connection is going to be deeper than without the knowledge of who they were/are.
