Rate top gamesMy personal choice for the greatest videogame ever made as of 2020. Not only is the Van Der Linde gang's saga, An utterly heartbreaking slow death, But it is one written which such poise and consideration that it remains burned into my mind to this day. It is a game that against all odds is utterly uncompromising in it's vision and scope and the world that you will inhabit and the stories you will experience will be folktales in your gaming portfolio for years to come.
It often feels restrained and realistic. You will find yourself giddy for a heist, and then tapping your feet aching to get out of danger for the sake of your gang members. You have such a raw connection to them through learning them like a book as you progress through the story, They remind you why you keep playing even when the game has a few lukewarm missions and they remain consistently entertaining with campside stories and friendly insults in passing. This is a feature of the game that extends to wildlife as well. Red Dead 2 remains remarkably faithful in simulating the habitats and daily activities of hundreds of species.
It all feels so real and it draws you into the game bit by bit as you pick your way through the game's content. And in the very end it all remains just as real life memories do, Moments. Listening to the horses hooves clod off the red sand as I slammed my way through a particularly bad sandstorm, Watching townsfolk look up from their newspaper to eye me like vultures as I saunter into town for the first time, Watching a boy sprint in the other direction as he sees me reach for my revolver.
Experience this world, Experience Arthur's story and remember to take your time before it all passes like a gust of frontier wind.

Red Dead Redemption is the gold standard, the epitome, the finish line for every game manufacturer out there.
This is the most exceptionally well-built game I have ever played in the past 3 decades of my gaming life.
Heart-stealing story with tears worthy ending. You literally become the character - Morgan and Marston - you play.
There are no bugs to be found. None. The graphics, schematics, special effects, lightning, gun fights, horse rides, terrain, map, shadows, heck everything is just perfect.
The game's length is like sweet spot, neither too lengthy nor too short. The side quests are all special treats.
And. That. Music. Man. So relaxing and pleasing.
I'm not sure how they pulled it off, but Rockstar games have overdone themselves with this one.
If you are into gaming and haven't played this, you aren't into gaming. Simple.
Thank you RDR2 devs for this gem of a game.

Ending lowkey made me cry… genuinely a beautiful game that shows you just how insane story games can be
I think this has to be the only game I have ever played that got me feeling emotional towards the ends when {spoiler} dies. (you know who).
Honestly one of the best games I have ever played.

This game I've ever played the main character was so relatable and so rich and deep the graphics were amazing which even stands its ground to this day it's a must-player for everyone the only thing I didn't like was the combat which was too easy and kind of boring
