Looking for Engaging Third-Person Games with Great Stories

-

I’m searching for a solo game that features a third-person perspective (no first-person games, please!). I really enjoy games with a rich story and a captivating atmosphere. Something like Control would be perfect. I’m experienced in gaming but don’t want anything overly complicated, particularly when it comes to boss fights—so skip the Souls-like games. Any suggestions?

You should definitely check out **The Witcher 3** if you haven’t already—it’s renowned for its amazing story and graphics. **Days Gone** is another great choice that combines story-driven gameplay with zombie action. And don’t overlook **Mad Max**; it has a solid narrative and is really fun! For a unique experience, give **Marvel’s Guardians of the Galaxy** a try; it’s surprisingly good with fun gameplay!

Thanks for the long list! But with so many suggestions, which one would you say is your top recommendation?

For something highly acclaimed, consider **The Last of Us**. It’s story-rich, emotional, and has solid gameplay. Other great options include the **Uncharted series** and **Beyond Good and Evil**—both have engaging stories and fun gameplay!

If you’re okay with some older graphics, I’d recommend **Gothic**. It has a good story but the controls can be a bit clunky. If that’s not your thing, **Kingdoms of Amalur** is a more modern pick that you might like—though I know its side missions can feel a bit repetitive.

I’ve tried Kingdoms of Amalur, but I got bored with the side missions; they started to feel like chores.
