Red Dead 2 Might Be Rockstar’s Best Story Ever – Beyond Highlight

Red Dead Redemption 2’s story has captivated many of us here at IGN, including the cast of our weekly PlayStation show, Beyond!

Watch the video above to see host Jonathon Dornbush speak with Brian Altano, Barrett Courtney, and Max Scoville discuss what they’ve enjoyed about Arthur Morgan’s story as they dive into Rockstar Games’ latest, and why they think it may have surpassed all of the studio’s previous narratives.

On a personal note, there are so many games on this list that rank among my all-time personal favorites, and seeing them laid out has me wanting to revisit them. In some cases, I went ahead and listed the collections or follow-up editions rather than the original game, because they\u0027re better deals, include extra content, or are just easier to pick up and play in 2018.\r\n\r\nWritten by Seth G.
