20 Best Video Games Of 2018

3. Red Dead Redemption 2

An unprecedented achievement in the craft of digital entertainment, Red Dead Redemption 2 is the result of a company with endless funds and endless resources, creating something with the purest sense of escapist artistry.

There's not one corner cut; not one idea that didn't make it through to the final version. The story of Arthur Morgan is told across a staggering 70 hours of single player time, resulting in Rockstar spinning a yarn that directly addresses how carefree and violent their own in-game methodologies have been.

The result of this open world packed with millions of tiny details to see, combined with an authored, character-driven tale of life in the Old West, results in arguably Rockstar's finest work to date.

If not for some awkward movement mechanics and the occasional character-breaking sequence of open world carnage mixed with self-reflective cutscene, this would've taken the top or second spot.
