5 Best Story Games Of All Time

We could write a book about all of the different types of stories in games. But we shall only write a blog here.

A video game with a good story is not just about playing well. It can get you invested in the plot so much that you’ll end up feeling like the character you’re playing.

Good stories help players feel like heroes by giving them access to power and victory, but also by making them feel like participants in their own narrative instead of just passive observers.

In this blog, we have made a top 5 list of video games with the best stories.

What is most intriguing about the game is its story and its characters. In fact, The Witcher 3’s story is a lot more complex than most role-playing games on the market today. It is filled with drama, romance, and action.

3. The Last Of Us (I And II)

The Last of Us is a survival horror video game developed by Naughty Dog and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the Sony PlayStation 3.

In its sequel, The Last of Us 2, where Ellie, who is now 19 years old, is on a quest to find a resistance group known as the Fireflies.

Now that you have both the editions in hand, The Last Of Us can give you a wholesome feeling, however, leaving a few drops of tear at the end.

Ending Note

When you play these great video games, it gives you the space to be in someone else’s shoes. Someone who’s going through a crisis and has to exude courage to overcome their situation.

Our only suggestion is— play these games yourself and dissolve into the “other” lives.
