Best PS4 Games of Q4 2018
Red Dead Redemption 2
Ever since experiencing John Marston’s story in Red Dead Redemption fans have been absolutely dying to jump into Rockstar’s Wild West once again.
Undoubtedly among the biggest games of 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 certainly didn’t disappoint, with a fascinating and massive open world, absolutely gripping main story, and frantic shootouts.
Red Dead Redemption 2 functions as a prequel to the first game, telling the story of the Dutch Van Der Linde Gang, and their downfall. While John Marston is a major character, the real star of the show is the grizzled main character, Arthur Morgan.
As badass as he is likable, Arthur’s story arc is incredible, with the character going through massive growth and introspection across the experience.
Rockstar has doubled down on immersion for Red Dead Redemption 2, putting an emphasis on hunting and keeping up Arthur’s appearances.
The game’s control scheme is still that familiar but somewhat clumsy Rockstar style, however, shootouts in the game are so hectic and grandiose that they feel like an amazing experience, regardless of controls.
Outside of the main story, there are plenty of stranger missions to tackle, and a ridiculous amount of mysteries and easter eggs to uncover.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is one of the most ambitious games ever made, and most of that ambition paid off in one of the best open world experiences we’ve ever seen.
