RDR has a critical lack of cool missions, miles and miles of terrain with little interesting to do. Yes, the scenery is majestic, one could be forgiven for thinking he's in a Malick film, but those are usually a mere two hours long. Still, the characters and authenticity of the setting are so good that I found RDR memorable all the same. A masterpiece? Not in the areas of exciting, branching missions, nor as a sandbox type of game, but it arguably does everything about it as well as feasibly possible, given the inevitable emptyness of its setting.
