Next on the list is Destiny , which is another incredibly important video game series from this decade, which took on a life of its own in popularity. The franchise burst onto the scene first in 2014 and has had several expansions and a sequel since t

I’m Commander Shepherd and this is my favorite AAA game of the decade. The first Mass Effect was a competently written RPG with a lackluster game behind it. The third Mass Effect was a slightly over-wrought story with a lackluster ending (but not riot-worthy lackluster, I should stress). Mass Effect 2 was perfect – the Seven Samurai hero collection, the brilliant characters, the fantastic cover-shooter RPG. I only wish the twist of the first ten minutes hadn’t been spoiled by marketing – if I could have only gone in blin

Riding on a horse on an old town road is a dream come true for western fans. That said, getting around the giant environment without one is a pain. There is basically no fast travel. Horses also don’t come if you are too far away so if one gets stranded in the middle of nowhere then it is time to start walking. That problem is almost never apparent in Grand Theft Auto V thanks to the cellphone and the abundance of all kinds of terrain vehic

In the epilogue portion of RDR2 , you’ll run across a character voiced by Steven Ogg, the very same man who voices Trevor Phillips in GTA V . It isn’t just his voice, though. The character has the same mannerisms and personality as the violent, hyperactive GTA protagonist. He’s even also named Trevor Phillips. It could be possible this is some ancestor of Trevor’s, maybe a great-grandfather. Or maybe Trevor just found a way to time travel back to the Old W

It isn’t just console games that have dominated this decade, as many mobile video games have also started becoming incredibly popular. With smartphones becoming even more advanced throughout the decade, amazing games have been created for them. However, one of the games that really exploded in popularity was a ridiculously simple game called Candy Crush. There was nothing tough about this one, it was simply all about landing three or more of the same candy in a

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild has so much to offer in terms of exploration and discovery that it was almost impossible for me to ever feel anything other than childlike wonder when venturing out in its open world multiplayer Guide|Https://openworldpedia.com/. I couldn’t put it down, but when I finally had to, I just couldn’t stop thinking about

Landon Ricketts is a major character in the first Red Dead Redemption . He was formerly a famous gunslinger during the golden days of the American West. John Marston meets him while on the trail of Javier Escuela. Ricketts teaches him the third level of the Dead-Eye skill and the two are allies on a few missions, before parting w

Red Dead acts the same way Rockstar’s other successful series Grand Theft Auto does in that there are some upgrades you can make to your equipment that matter and some that are purely for aesthetics. For example, you have plenty of options available for engraving, varnishing, carving, and covering your guns with leather, but there are really only one or two upgrades you can make that affect your gun’s functionality. So if you don’t really mind paying money to look fancy without adding much functionality, go right ah

The Tomb Raider franchise is very close to my heart and I’ve followed its ups and downs since the very beginning. The Tomb Raider reboot brought the franchise to a new audience and severely kicked up its production value. Rise of the Tomb Raider felt like a pinnacle of that achievement. The narrative is engaging, the challenges varied, and the game was enjoyable from start to finish. Lara Croft dominates in this game and I’m here for

Rockstar fumbled the multiplayer portion of Grand Theft Auto V at the time of the game’s launch in 2013, but it is now inarguably the biggest part of that package. The game still sells today and there is no hard data to suggest people skip the campaign in order to play multiplayer, but given the amount of people still playing Grand Theft Auto Online , well, one can at least infer it. Red Dead Redemption 2’s online portion was also botched and could eventually get better, but as of right now it is

When it comes to video games exploding in popularity, there is nothing quite like Fortnite . Who would have thought at the start of the decade that a free online battle royale game would have become one of, if not the most popular game of the dec

You can even blow up that pesky and notorious train, which is infamously known as the bane of Rockstar games. The last option is a sort of zombie mode, which is a good combo with the other mods on this list if you want to plow through unsuspecting hor

Despite the realistic tone, Rockstar has never been afraid to include some absurdity . In RDR2 you can find a man claiming to be a sasquatch hunter in the Valentine saloon. He’ll talk at length about the existence of Bigfoot and whether Arthur believes him or not, some fans will remember he knows what he’s talking about. The same character appears in the Undead Nightmare expansion for the first game. He gives Marston the mission to hunt down the sasquatches around the area of Tall Trees. And if you do some exploring in RDR2 , Arthur might just come across a skeleton that lends some truth to the man’s cla
