Red Dead Redemption 2

5. RED DEAD REDEMPTION 2

Only a hair behind TLOU2 graphically in my book. The weather cycle is unmatched. Watching a storm form over the mountains begin to sweep towards you is like watching a god paint before your eyes. Every where you turn you feel like you’re in a western portrait. A beautiful game that tackles a dying American dream, while living your most notorious cowboy fantasy. Where gameplay doesn’t feel innovative, the story, setting, and relationships make up for it more than enough. It’s not for impatient people, it’s an exploration of the wilderness best enjoyed with a pot of coffee or a glass of whiskey. Best open world design.
