Hey everyone! My girlfriend and I just finished playing The Last of Us 2, and after seeing her experience such a gripping story, she’s eager to dive into more games with me. We’re looking for more story-focused titles, so I’m hoping to get some recommendations! Here are some games I’ve already played and plan to play with her:
– Detroit Become Human
– Red Dead Redemption 2
– Firewatch
– Rain World
– The Stanley Parable
– Portal 1 & 2
– Death Stranding
We love everything from horror to comedy, so all suggestions are welcome!

Well, you can’t go wrong with The Last of Us 2! But joking aside, I’d suggest you explore the first game if you haven’t yet. It’s just as captivating!
You guys should definitely check out The Walking Dead Definitive Edition! It’s all about making choices together to shape the outcome, which can be really fun. Also, Disco Elysium is excellent for a narrative experience. And don’t forget the Hazelight Studios games like A Way Out and It Takes Two; perfect for couples!
I highly recommend playing Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice, especially with the lights off and good sound! It’s an incredible experience. You might also enjoy the Plague Tale series for its gripping story. And for something a bit lighter, Haven is a lovely couch co-op game about a couple. It’s sweet yet melancholic!
You might want to look into Observer, a cyberpunk horror game with a great story. Heavy Rain is another must-try if you enjoy immersive cinematic adventures. If you’re open to something with a more cartoony vibe, Goodbye Volcano High is a unique narrative-rhythm game about friendships and existential themes. Lastly, the Alan Wake series and Control are fantastic for their plots and eerie atmospheres!
For a bit of a twist, Silent Hill 2 has one of the best stories ever told in gaming. If you prefer something lighter, Transistor could be a great pick! It’s about a famous singer whose ex-bodyguard gets transformed into a weapon and they have to fight against a corrupt society together. It’s got a beautiful but tragic romance that I think your girlfriend would appreciate! Plus, the gameplay is super engaging!
Haha, true! Just finished the second, but I think we might revisit the first! It’s fantastic!
