Red Dead Redemption 2 was produced by Rockstar’s Games. It’s an open world western adventure.With its universally beloved story.While a few people may complain that the story takes a while to pick up most everyone agrees the ending is an emotion-filled ride that was worth the wait. “Red Dead ( that one )was really good,” Senior James Norris said.

The attention to detail fits the impeccable standards of a rockstar with most of the game being historically accurate. Many have complained about Red Dead lacking impactful gunplay and clumsy movement. But overall this is one of the best written triple A experiences around.

God Of War is a beautifully crafted game made at Sony’s Santa Monica Studio which was based on Norse mythology. From the booming appearance of the world serpent with his bassy voice, the cast of well-acted voices and memorable characters, it was loved by many.While some complained about the confusing story and jarring ending, most playing the game weren’t coming in for the story.The God Of War franchise is an action based game with a rhythm to its combat unrivaled by most action games. The new God Of War is improved in this department. The leviathan ax is the refined epitome of the evolution of combat feel. “I thought God Of War was amazing. It was really good, the game mechanics where insanely awesome, the physics engine too,” junior Connor Mcdonald said.

With a magnetic weighty kinetic feel, throwing and catching the ax was a major selling point for the game.Take a look
at Metacritic and you’ll see the story is confusing and the ending was frowned on most everyone loved the relationship between Kratos (YOU) and Atreus (BOY!) with strong themes of parenting and raising children during hard times. God Of War is an excellent experience I would recommend to anyone with a PS4.

Spider-Man developed by Insomniac Games is a near perfect successor to Spider-Man 2 from 2004. They brought back the mechanic of webs attaching to buildings and refined the game feel that fans already loved. Although “When you jump off the empire state building you go really fast, but it feels like your normal swing speed. Physics wise it doesn’t make sense, it just makes you feel like nothing really happened,” freshman Johnny Gardener said. The modern installment was able to appeal to even the most devoted Spider-Man fans, including almost every suit he’s ever worn. It has a story that was very good and as many will say the mechanics, design, and story make you ‘feel like Spiderman’. This is going to be excellent experience for all fans of the Marvel universe, find it on ps4.
