Red Dead Redemption

The Best Game of All Time?

Before playing Red Dead Redemption 2 (RDR2), I had never really played a role-playing game. Not that I was necessarily against them, but none had ever really drawn me away from the games I grew up playing. To me, online and split-screen multiplayer were what made gaming amazing, because of the stories that would come from those shared experiences. My first time playing RDR2 opened my eyes to the fact that there was another kind of shared experience in gaming, even if you weren't playing at the same time as someone else. This shared experience would come through the characters, story, and emotional moments that different players experience as the game unfolds.

Favorite activities in the game

Shoot bad guys
Ride a horse
Hunt and fish

I would recommend that anyone with the ability to play the game do so. This is because, unlike watching a movie, you are becoming the main character of one. A movie where almost every action has a reaction. It is easy to become engrossed in the world in a way that is different from any other game. The graphic design, sound design, and story are unparalleled by anything I have ever experienced, and I am jealous of anyone who gets to experience playing it for the first time.
