From tip to tail, Red Redemption 2 it's a low, glittering floor. He's a rare blockbuster video game that needs to move players not by empowering gameplay and shy heroes, but by pushing them relentlessly to deal with decay and despair. It has no heroes, only flawed men and women who fight desperately to survive in a world that seems destined to destroy them. Both exciting delights for the future of entertainment and carrying a stubborn torch in the classic video game design. So much, and again, it's, it's perfect.
Great game for: Cowboys, open-world discoisseurs, historical buffs, gaming people who are drawn by a game whose atmosphere mimics the artistic work of film and literature.
Not a good game for: Those are unique to open worlds, as this is definitely a world wide open world. Also, Sonic the Hedgehog fans do not need to apply (the speed of your cowpoke travel is the exact opposite of speed).

Nier: Automata it will probably surprise you. It starts as a fast-moving action game Bayonetta either The Devil Can Cry, telling a story about tropical robots exploring a corrupt future world. And until the first time the credits are filmed, that's what's left. Keep playing, though Nier it will start to turn on and off. It shifts the focus and twists in, it just happens in the imagination of revelations that wrap all the way to the end of a beautiful day.
