I am the result of a popular culture that took off in the 90s and established itself as the dominant culture over the decades. Video games, cinema, manga, anime, comics, comics, literature, series… I am eager to learn and explore the ideas available to me, regardless of the media.

The founding fathers of the most lucrative video game license are also the authors of a title that revolutionized the very concept of an open world seven years before GTA 6. Rated 19/20 by the JV editorial team, it will still be available in PS+ for a few days. It would be a shame to miss such an opportunity.

Red Dead Redemption 2 is available on PS+

Rockstar Games is one of those video game players who can afford to ignore all logic, manage their communications as they see fit, and release a game every seven years without affecting their finances. The most successful video game western in the history of the industry will be released in 2018. Everyone agrees on Red Dead Redemption 2, both the press, which gives it a 97% rating on MetaCritic, and the players. The JV editorial team rightly follows the trend and gives it an impressive 19/20. RDR2 stands out from the competition through the finesse of its writing, its masterful gameplay sequences, its increasingly believable pre-industrial revolution Wild West and of course its open world that is more alive than ever.

One of the great strengths of the title, developed and published by Rockstar Games, lies in its ability to give life to a variety of non-player characters who go about their business and lead lives of their own, as well as a fauna well versed in Darwinism. What emerges from Red Dead Redemption 2 is an attitude to life that is missing from many more modern productions, but which have never managed to reach the heights of their illustrious predecessor.

And for everyone who hasn’t yet ventured into the Wild West from Rockstar Games: Red Dead Redemption 2 is still available in the PS+ Extra for a few days. He leaves the Sony offer on November 19, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Paris time.
