Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for some incredible story-driven games—ones that pull us into their world with gripping narratives, deep characters, and immersive gameplay. Some examples of what I’m looking for include the Homeworld series, the Horizon series, The Last of Us, some Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider games, etc. So I’m not too picky about the genre.
If you’ve played any unforgettable games with amazing storytelling, do tell! What games had you hooked from start to finish?
They are both cliché to recommend at this point for video game stories, but my personal favorite video game stories are Planescape: Torment and Disco Elysium.
If you’re up for Japanese-style games, I also love Xenogears and Final Fantasy X.
If you need something newer (other than Disco), Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Uncle Chop’s Rocket Shop, Citizen Sleeper, and Death Stranding are all recent highlights.
