Voice acting and character performances are becoming more and more advanced, and the strong character-driven narratives in gaming this year have brought some extremely talented actors and actresses into the spotlight. Check out our video below to see how we ranked the best video game performances of 2018.

Our first place winner goes to Roger Clark as Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption 2. His outstanding voice performance fits perfectly into the cowboy setting, and he evokes emotion and complexity that captivated us from the beginning. In second place is another beloved Red Dead 2 character, Sadie Adler played by Alex McKenna, and another runner-up in this category is Benjamin Byron Davis as Dutch van der Linde. Clearly, Rockstar hired some pretty impressive talent for their latest game.
