With so many games being released at a constant rate, it can be troublesome to determine which are worth your time and money.

We want to be the ultimate gaming master, owning as many games as possible, along with the skills and know-how so that we can claim victory over the game’s villain. It’s the impossible dream, which is why this guide is going to guide you towards the best games of all time, and how to excel in them.
Final Fantasy IX
The last Final Fantasy for the PlayStation, Final Fantasy IX returned to its pure fantasy roots the series is best known for. For its time, Final Fantasy IX featured stunning cinema-graphics, along with breathtaking environments and detailed characters. Its story-enhancing Active Time Event system not only made this game memorable, but it also brought the series one step closer to the gameplay we recognise today.

Red Dead Redemption 2
Although considered a newbie, having only been released October of 2018, Red Dead Redemption 2 is making a lasting impact in the gaming universe. Red Dead Redemption 2 tells an epic story of life in America’s heartland, drawing the player into an unforgiving landscape and tough lifestyle. You see yourself playing as Arthur Morgan, part of the Van der Linde gang, and after a robbery gone wrong, Morgan and his group are forced to flee. There’s a bounty on your head, with you and your character’s choices determining your chances of survival.
How to be the best
Take it slow. Red Dead Redemption is a huge game, with a vast open world and gameplay this is not meant to be rushed. Morgan’s beard will grow, and you have to shave it, and your character and gang will need to feed – this means hunting and fishing in real time.
