Best of 2018: Video games
by BEN COWLES
WITHOUT a doubt the best game this year is Rockstar Games’s Red Dead Redemption II (RDR II).
Not only is it a marvel to play and behold and its gameplay mechanics, story, characters, voice acting and its open world setting push the medium forward, the game’s political undertone is also fascinating, especially for us lefties.
