Well, it's essentially GTA5 in terms of gameplay (and writing, humour, etc.) except you ride horses instead of driving cars.

And if you're like me and find the horses hard to get the hang of, the first 5 - 10 hours will be mainly falling off of horses, crashing into trees on horses, falling off of cliffs on horses, accidentally trampling & killing people (and twice their poor dogs ) on horses...

I did get mostly proficient eventually though. I still SOMETIMES crash full speed into a wagon and go sailing through the air, but it's quite rare.
