Rockstar Games first appeared in front of gamers in 1999 with Grand Theft Auto and Monster Truck Madness 64, which it released right after. We are sure that even they did not know, but the game they published would be the first game of the legendary GTA series. Since then, Rockstar Games has enriched the GTA legend with many side stories and main games. Of course, we are still waiting for GTA 6 to come.
Even though it made its name with GTA, Rockstar Games never took shelter behind this series and over the years, it has managed to become one of the most popular game publishers in the world by publishing many different games for many different platforms. Let’s take a closer look at some of the best PC games published by Rockstar Games and briefly see the features they offer to gamers.

If you can beat the opponents, you will have complete control of the school.
Post-war crime-ridden streets: LA Noire

1947, Los Angeles. World War II has just ended, but the city is still boiling hot. Just at a time like this, our police detective Cole Phelps defies all the bad guys in the city.

For romantic bums: Max Payne 2 The Fall of Max Payne

Our story gets deeper and deeper in Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne, the second game in the legendary Max Payne series. Moreover, this time we get a little emotional because our story is based on love.

A true legend: Max Payne 3
- Year: 2012

It must be admitted that the first game that comes to mind when it comes to the Max Payne series is Max Payne 3, the third game in the series. Max Payne 3 is a true legend for both Rockstar Games and the gaming world. This time, our hero is in Sao Paulo, Brazil, so everything is on fire. Using the technology of the period in the best way, the game manages to take the series one step further with its new gameplay features.
A story full of blood, sweat and dust: Red Dead Redemption 2
- Year: 2018
- Metacritic score: 97
Red Dead Redemption aside, Red Dead Redemption 2 aside. We are in America in 1899 in the second game of the series. The bloodiest times of the Wild West are simmering. In such a period, our character Arthur Morgan starts to run away with his gang after the notorious robbery. He must continue to commit crimes in order to survive while escaping the bounty hunters and federal agents who are after him.
For multiplayer lovers: Red Dead Online
- Year: 2019
Satisfied with the interest in Red Dead Redemption 2, Rockstar Games invited gamers to an online multiplayer world with Red Dead Online a year later.

Of course, there are much more challenging missions waiting for you in this multiplayer world and much better rewards to collect as you complete these missions.
