yeah, this list really isnt like the peak of writing in games IMO, out of these is probably also say BioShock

like Silent Hill 2 alone sweeps anything on this list, and stuff like Brothers and Edith Finch use the strengths of the medium to put forth their themes better than anything else on the list. Out of these BioShock probably has the strongest justification for delivering its story through the medium of video games while actually doing it well. Alan Wake does a good job of this too but is so repetitive with such bland characters that I cant really give it the trophy for writing

at least TC didnt put BioShock Infinite or wed have a real problem
It just depends on how linear you like your stories. Bioshock is less on rails, more atmospheric.

Some people also care about story being told in a cutscene vs a video game interaction like exploring.

I'm kind of confused that so many people are saying Bioshock. Aside from the twist, it's pretty bog-standard video game writing.

Because some people value storytelling through a medium. It isn't what this topic is about, as I asked what is just the best story/plot, but people get attached to worlds and atmosphere. I probably shouldn't have put bioshock, as its story and plot is pretty standard despite its exceptional method of telling that story

Rapture is an intrinsic part of the story, and in my opinion, it is one of the most interesting pieces of fiction in games. The plot of Jack and Andrew is very good on its own, too. And a good plot twist is good storytelling.

Also, standard compared to what other games? It's got a great story.

I agree. It's why I put it on the list. It still isn't as interesting as fft's discussion of how the church controls men through faith, and how people like to be controlled imo
