I’m on the lookout for some awesome narrative-driven games! I’ve loved titles like Life is Strange, Heavy Rain, and Detroit: Become Human. Other greats for me include A Plague Tale, Uncharted, and God of War. What are the best story-driven games you’ve played?

You can’t forget about Dragon Age: Origins and the Mass Effect trilogy for great narratives. They’re classics for a reason!
For intense narratives, I’d go with Spec Ops: The Line and Nier: Automata. They really evoke deep feelings.
Nier: Automata actually left me in a reflective state for days after finishing it. It’s a gem!
Spec Ops made me question a lot about morality in gaming; it’s a unique experience.
The Last of Us series is a must-play—both one and two! I also really enjoyed the story in the Dead Space games; they creep up on you!
TLOU is fantastic, and I’d also throw Red Dead Redemption 2 into that mix for its deep storytelling.
Dead Space’s story really overwhelms you, especially if you pay attention to the lore throughout!
Have you played INSIDE? It might not be as popular, but it’s really impactful in terms of narrative.
Absolutely, INSIDE has such a unique story! I’m shocked more people don’t rave about it.
Mass Effect has an incredible story, and I’m also a fan of the classic Legend of the Dragoon. Those narratives are timeless!
Mass Effect as ‘old school’? Ouch! That hurts my nostalgic heart.
I’m diving into the Mass Effect trilogy for the first time! I’m excited to see what all the hype is about.
Disco Elysium is hands down one of the best for storytelling and writing. If you get into it at the right moment, it completely grabs you!
I’ve tried Disco Elysium before, but couldn’t get into it. Maybe I should give it another shot since everyone loves it!
I started Disco Elysium once and didn’t vibe with it, but when I tried again, it turned out to be one of my all-time favorites. Definitely worth a second look!
Alan Wake 2 surprised me with its ride! The gameplay had its hiccups, but the story was totally engrossing.
I agree! The story could easily be a movie—the acting was top-notch!
Yeah, I had to turn down the difficulty a bit because the combat felt overwhelming!
Ghost of Tsushima had an amazing story, with side quests that really enriched the experience. Can’t wait for more from that series!
I’m with you! The side stories really brought extra depth to the main plot.
It’s such beautiful scenery and engaging gameplay, I hope they release a sequel soon.
Mass Effect hits hard. The way it blends its story with gameplay is phenomenal!
