Hey everyone! I’m on the hunt for some incredible story-driven games—ones that pull us into their world with gripping narratives, deep characters, and immersive gameplay. Some examples of what I’m looking for include the Homeworld series, the Horizon series, The Last of Us, some Indiana Jones or Tomb Raider games, etc. So I’m not too picky about the genre.
If you’ve played any unforgettable games with amazing storytelling, do tell! What games had you hooked from start to finish?
I haven’t played it yet but apparently this 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" is fantastic. I’ll quote a friend who just finished it: “Just finished Clair Obscur. Probably not 100%, but I’ve beaten the superboss and completed the story. It has the exact same feeling as finishing a really good book that makes you feel bad in all the good ways, the kind that has you stare off into the distance after putting it down for the last time.”
Personally I feel like I haven’t played a great story driven game in a long time. Maybe Baldur’s gate 3 could appeal to you. Still not sure it sucked me in as much as Horizon did though.
On a deep sale, the Jedi Fallen order and Survivor are good story games.
