If there’s one game that's really goated even after these years, it’s Red Dead Redemption 2. This isn’t just some open-world cowboy game shi, it’s a full on experience. From the story to the insane amount of detail packed into the world, this game is easily one of the best ever made, and also can't forget how good and optimized it is.

ㅤLet’s start with the story, it’s seriously S tier. You play as Arthur Morgan, part of an outlaw gang, and what makes it great is how deep and human his story is. He’s not a perfect hero, he’s complicated, and that’s what makes him feel real. You actually get invested in the characters around you, and by the end, it hits you emotionally in a way most games just don’t.
ㅤNow, the world itself is massive, but what’s crazy is how alive it feels. Every corner has something going on. Whether you’re out hunting in the mountains, riding through a thunderstorm, or just chilling at camp talking to people, there’s always something to take in.
The attention to detail is next level, animals behave realistically, NPCs have full routines, even the mud on the ground reacts when you step in it, what else could you want added to the game?

ㅤAnd yeah, it takes up a ton of storage space, but honestly, it’s worth it. For how big the game is and how much is going on, it’s actually really well optimized. It runs smooth, looks stunning, and doesn’t feel buggy or messy like you might expect from something this huge.

ㅤGameplay wise, it strikes a good balance. It’s not overly complicated, you won’t need a strategy guide just to figure things out, but it also makes you think. You can’t just button-mash your way through everything. You have to pay attention, plan things out, and play smart. It rewards you for taking your time and doing things properly.
