10 Video Games That Changed The Gaming Industry In 2018

Of course, this game was practically designed for lists like this. Potentially boasting the best graphics this generation, Rockstar's latest entry to the gaming world has continuously smashed expectations at every turn, with attention to detail so fine and precise it's as close to living, breathing pixelated humans we've got. That's without even mentioning the dedication to realism within each and every mechanic.

From scatted light through things as small as ear cartilage, to hair growing in real time, to those all important weather-reactive horse balls, Red Dead Redemption 2 has set a new precedent for graphical expectation in upcoming video games. No longer will we simply get by on average camera angles and clipped faces, we now need cinematic options and precise dust placement in every big title we get.

Whilst some of the prolonged animations and slow-burn narrative might not have appealed to everyone, RDR2 has surely knocked what we can expect games to look like in the future way out the ball park.
