I recently started playing MediEvil (1998) and was blown away by how much lore and worldbuilding it has. It really got me thinking—are there other games out there that offer a surprising amount of lore that fans might overlook?

Control has a surprising amount of lore, especially if you’re someone who usually skips collectibles. I found myself fully invested in the story after I started digging deeper into the game’s lore entries.
You might be surprised by how much lore Splatoon actually has! It dives into the extinction of humanity and the evolution of squids, plus the intense rivalry between inklings and octolings. It’s way deeper than most give it credit for!
Destiny’s lore is pretty overwhelming, actually. It’s a shame that despite all the fantastic backstory they’ve created, sometimes it feels like the developers scrap it all and start fresh.
It’s wild how Bungie managed to create such a vast universe from what started as a simple multiplayer game.
Path of Exile seems simple at first, but once you start exploring, you’ll find a treasure trove of lore that spans thousands of years. The game is filled with rich cultures and intriguing backstories that really enhance the experience.
The Elder Scrolls series is loaded with lore, especially about the various races, their histories, and even the gods. It’s impressive how much detail there is, making exploring the world so rewarding. For instance, Morrowind really digs deep into the background of everything!
Totally agree! The depth in the lore—from creation myths to detailed faction histories—is mind-blowing.
This is the kinda answer I was looking for!
