Watching her grow and mature is an absolute joy, while the harsh and unforgiving world in which the games are set provides plenty of tension. You'll also be able to shape the narrative with the choices you make and some will even have consequences much further down the road.
Games involving time travel can very easily devolve into an incomprehensible mess of poorly woven narrative threads and nonsensical ideas. This isn't a criticism that could ever be levied against Chrono Trigger, however; a game that many consider to be the best JRPG ever made. Despite taking players to multiple time periods and allowing them to change the future through their actions in the past, the game's narrative is incredibly easy to follow. The characters are all incredibly likable too, and each has their own motivations for joining the fight against Lavos.
It was also one of the first video games to feature multiple endings and allows players to finish the main story at numerous points. Veteran gamers are always wary of games that produce great graphics because they often try to add a lot of polish to a thin story.
This was not the case with Ghost of Tsushima, a game that leverages its graphics to tell a tale of a land ravaged by invaders. No further words need to be spoken, but those that are tell tales of forgotten lore, broken families, the purpose of faith, and the reason and ways people fight against impossible odds.
Players will not soon forget the world of Tsushima after looking at it through the eyes of samurai warrior Jin Sakai. The third installment of the popular game and book and now Netflix series, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is one of the best and most iconic medieval fantasy RPGs to have come out in the last decade. Toe-to-toe with Skyrim, it introduces players to a much darker and more sinister world of monsters and magic. The player must navigate the vast open-world as Geralt, hot on the trail of Yennefer.
On the way, a myriad of quests, tough boss fights, and various secondary storylines help to build a rich and diverse world that any player hungry for lore and story would be delighted to dive headfirst into.
Undertale is a great example of telling a compelling story without splurging on high-tier graphics. Inspired by retro games, the look and controls of this game closely mimic old hand-held console games while bringing in a fresh, extremely touching story.
It's the story of a young child falling inside a mountain, which is protected from the rest of the Earth with a magical barrier. To return home, the child must interact with the inhabitants of the mountain, all of which are various kinds of monsters. Depending on the approach the player takes pacifist or violent , the outcome of the game will be significantly different.
The Metal Gear Solid series is all about the storyline. The third game in the series, however, undoubtedly hit that sweet spot with regards to plot. The rivalry between the man who would become Big Boss and his former mentor, The Boss, was gripping.
The way that the game had a tight ludonarrative understanding of itself was truly brilliant. But the developers know that, and they enjoy it. So, while the game might have all kinds of campy and silly mini-games to enjoy, its plot is one of betrayal, brotherhood, loyalty, and growth into manhood. Every game in the series has a wonderful story to enjoy, but Yakuza 0 hits that tone just right, offering impeccable voice acting and unbelievably smart localization.
In this game, the protagonist and his peers have all been locked inside a school and are slowly being killed off. After each grizzly death, a trial is held and the player must determine the culprit.
Although the heavy anime art and aesthetics might point to a jolly cartoony game about school friends, it has some wonderfully executed twists and turns to enjoy. The stories in each of the Splinter Cell games have been fascinating, but plugging in quick-time events for this installment was a risky, unexpected, and perfect addition for the saga of Sam Fisher.
As expected, the plot had a lot to do with a terrorist coup. It's what was unexpected that made this game so brilliant. The protagonist's life takes center stage as players finally get to dig deep into the life of America's greatest infiltrator. The storytelling is fantastic, creating a perfect post-apocalyptic atmosphere. You get so attached to the characters, that every development hits you like you are actually them. Somewhere around here, we should give huge props to Troy Baker and Ashley Johnson , who incarnate Joel and Ellie respectively.
One you should take. We are here, patiently waiting for the sequel that has been announced and see how deep the story evolves. Dishonored delivers an excellent narrative that explores betrayal and loyalty, as well as the thin line between good and evil. The character of Corvo Attano is well written, there are no plot holes in the story whatsoever. Soundtracks are one the best out there.
Set in a steampunk Victorian setting and gameplay much similar to the BioShock series , Dishonored managed to blend already-seen elements into a unique story that will instantly captivate the player. Buy from the official platforms above, or get it from our friends at G2A. The series main protagonist is a young girl named Clementine , who is found alone by Lee Everett , another survivor. While the game introduces many characters along the way, the only ones that really stick out are the two aforementioned ones.

So hop on this journey into the post-apocalyptic world we already know from the comic books and the television series.

In return, he would be granted amnesty and be able to return to his family. As with all great stories, not everything goes as planned. The Wild West was famous for the many ways you could die back then. The story is well-written, something to be expected from one of the most expensive video games of all time. Your choices do not affect the outcome of the story, so sit back and enjoy one of the greatest pieces of storylines the gaming industry has offered to this day.
Are you sure that you in you is really you? Well a playthrough of SOMA is food for thought if nothing else. The game follows the story of Simon Jarrett , who is visiting a doctor for a brain scan after a traumatic car crash. Things go south soon, as after the brain scan Simon wakes up in a facility, seemingly abandoned.
As the story unfolds and circumstances are being shown to the player, you are presented with a question that is a pain for the scientist for a long time: how much of you is really you? Wanna see what I mean? Play the game. What SOMA lacks in innovative gameplay, makes up it for in the story. God of War has been one of the most successful franchises in the gaming industry. Undoubtedly has some of the best game of the previous generation, yet what it lucked was a great story.
The Norse setting captivated an amazing atmosphere and coupled with the much-improved storyline, it gave us the Game Of The Year. We see a much calmer and wiser Kratos , accompanied by his son. Issues between the two constantly arise and the development of the characters is smooth and interesting. Beyond: Two Souls is one of those games. We played it with the second option. Beyond: Two Souls follows the story of Jodie Ellen Page who has an invisible entity she calls Aiden , following her and protecting her.
Guided by Dr. Nathan Hawkins Willem Dafoe she starts a journey that only she and Aiden can complete. As the story unfolds, more and more information on the entity is revealed, up to the climax of the story. Page and Dafoe are excellent in their captures, successfully delivering the feelings and personalities of the two protagonists.

The images, the sound, the smell. I need to remember, put things in order right up to this moment. Remember who I am. Life is Strange is an episodic adventure game, with beautiful hand-painted visuals, and an even more beautiful — yet intense — storyline, driven by your choices and their consequences.
The game is all about the choices you make, and every choice has a consequence. The story is way darker than you think! You might not get this taste by the first hours of game-play, but trust me, this game can be devastating and mind-blowing beyond expectation.
I wish I could stay in this moment forever. Metalhead with OCD. The board is the one you remember from the original, but there are big and small touches everywhere that make each encounter shine.
