The Best Xbox Games of All Time, According to Reviews

2. “Red Dead Redemption 2” (2018) — Xbox One

Metacritic score: 97

“Red Dead Redemption 2’s missteps are few. The autosaving system is a little bit cruel, leading you to replay failed missions not from a pivotal point, but often from the very beginning of the mission or the section; the game should have taken cues from Ubisoft’s Far Cry and implemented far more friendly checkpoint saves. And while horseback riding in this game is largely fantastic, it’s odd to spend so much time tapping a button just to create your horse’s pace. This is intuitive — but it feels unnecessary at times, too. The entire Red Dead experience, though, feels fantastic overall.” — New York Daily News
