So if you here can pick one game that you feel has an outstanding story what would it be? I would go with Bioshock Infinite. The whole thing with the scenes you go through plus the ending stuff make it a very smart and well thought out story. I feel like its much deeper than most games that have came out over these last few years. So many games have mediocre or bland tales they tell, its nice when one comes along and brings something special.

Underrated indie, and I have only found one person who has played it. Spiritfarer is incredible, you are basically the grim reaper and have to work through people's problems keeping them in limbo before they pass on to the afterlife. It has kind of Disney cartoon graphics, but the effects are modern, it's very heart felt, and has a deep crafting system like Minecraft, except you develop a gigantic ship. It's emotional and really unique, i've been gaming heavy since Atari and I never played anything like it.

One game? That's tuff, hmm.....

I'm not going to go with any of the older games. And I'm going to choose something that doesn't have shooting or action.

The Last of Us even though it follows similar plots from movies. The acting was good. Also, the scene at the end of the first act was depressing.

Nier: Automata
Spec Ops: The Line
The Last of Us 2
Silent Hill 2
Telltales The Walking Dead

Its very hard to pick. Nier was probably the best though overall, as its very much a story that only works as a video game.

Do you know that movie Badlands with Martin sheen? Some reason I always have similar feelings between that movie. And Last of us.

Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Im not saying its the best Star Wars story ever, but it is certainly in the conversation. KOTOR 2 is also great

I'm really not into story-driven games I guess so I'd probably say something like Ocarina of Time lol. I know it has a lot of cliches and is a pretty simple story but I think it's a good table setter for a lot of the common lore in Zelda games (yes, I know ALttP technically did most of those first), and has a lot of memorable moments that have some punch to them.

I've certainly played games with more depth to the story but there is not really a single one that jumped out to me. I also don't really like it when a game is obviously trying too hard to be talked about primarily for its story. That's not really why I play games, and movies can generally do a better job. Or TV shows if you wanna go by the argument that a game can fit in much more dialogue/story events than a movie

I've seen people claim Kreia is one of the best written characters in all of gaming and can't fault their reasoning.

My first KOTOR 2 play through I was pretty disappointed that Kreia was the villain like who didnt see that coming. But after a couple playthroughs (it is a tragically unfinished game, even with the mods) and you learn her full story, I can agree with that.

Thanka for the replies. I would agree with a few games listed in thia thread. Like the last of us part 2, even though many people want to be haters, it definitely i think my.favorite story of 2020. I connected a lot with most characters and felt their emotions very well. Its definitely a dark storyline
