If you asked me what the best game ever made was I'd have to think about it, but then i'd probably say Red Dead Redemption 2. One of the best written stories and characters I've seen in ANY medium let alone gaming and the game world is phenomenal, other open worlds wish they could be this.

Playing this game for the first time during the Covid lockdown really hit different and extra-hammered home that "the world is broken and everything around you is changing and falling apart but you gotta find meaning and hope in it all and save what you can anyway" vibe which is a major theme in the game, really added to it lol and was an experience I'm glad I had.

I truly unironically believe that this game and the first one will go down as this generation's Godfather movies and deservedly so.
