The issue of cost in reference to game criticism is always an incredibly complicated one. Sure, a game’s cost sets a player’s expectations but the quality of a game doesn’t correlate with how much of a good deal it is. That said, as solid a port as this is, it’s clouded by the shadow of a lost opportunity. An opportunity for a remaster/remake of John Marston’s story brought to PC and current-gen consoles with even a fraction of the refinement and mastery found in its modern sequel.

My only real gripe so far is the sometimes wonky physics, but I assume that was part of the original game/code, and is not an issue pertaining to the port. It's basically GTA in the old west (just as Bully was GTA in a high school), so if you enjoy your anarchic open world games, then you'll most likely love this as well, even if you aren't too crazy about the wild west setting.a b c d Parkin, Simon (May 17, 2010).

Immediately then we're off to a good start with the Switch release. In fact, at 1080p we're in essence matching the base PS4 version's native resolution already. But native resolution isn't the only factor for image quality. After all, anti-aliasing type plays a big role in tidying up the shimmering, the noise, and other visual artefacts too. Sadly - but perhaps inevitably - the Switch game uses FXAA post-process anti-aliasing, whereas the PS4 version can tap into temporal super-sampling via AMD's FSR2. In truth, FXAA doesn't look quite as good as the 2x MSAA found in the Xbox 360 original, but the burden on the GPU will be much lower. a b Quesada, Daniel (August 17, 2023).
