Story in video games can be more than cinematic. TLOU, GoW, Uncharted, and most of the rest of those there are all cinematic games, not story games. Try out Return of the Obra Dinn, Papers Please, or Disco Elysium if you want a look at how very good stories can be brought across in ways other than treating the game like a very long movie.
dark souls 3 story? WTF those souls games is just a bland the unkindled/hollow bobobo the sun and the king and kill these muthafuckas and you become the next king. All this at the begining, the rest is just enemies and boss fights until a cutscene at the end.
​
you lack the try of divinity series, but you have bioshock infinite there so you have an amazing story game
Doom has story. But the meat (and probably potatoes) of this is the gameplay. Like Bulletstorm. It’s not that the story isn’t important, it just doesn’t overshadow the gameplay.
Ah man! You don’t have my favourite story driven franchise there. If you haven’t already, you should give the new Wolfenstein games a try. The gun play is really satisfying and the story is very good.
Well, if you like over the top action stories it’s very good.
Edit: fun fact, the devs that make Wolfenstein are working on an Indiana Jones game too! I noticed Indiana on your list so thought you might be interested in that too.
I love the voice acting in some (God of War)
I love story driven games too, nice list of games
How can you have gears of war but not halo!
You love cinematic games.
There are so many great story games out there that aren’t AAA action games.
Doom. Story??
You might wanna give a try to half life 2 considering your list
OK then?
Any reason, other than karma farming, that you felt the need to make a post about it?
Also…doom? A story game? Seriously?

I can say I never played any of them for more than few minutes. If you have to pick one for a noob like me, which one would you pick?
Is there any particular you don’t list Mafia 3?
Max Payne I and II
If you haven’t played it yet, Cyberpunk. In my 30 years of life, Cyberpunk is the 2nd best game I have ever played.

I think the story in No Luca No is criminally underrated
what’s your absolute favorite on the list? 🙂
i dont see omori on that list, not a complete list
you should play outer wilds and hifi rush! both have amazing stories
There’s an Indiana Jones game?
Have you played Bioshock, Prey 2017 or Fallout New vegas?
Obligatory you need to play Ghost of Tsushima post.
If you like story games, hit the JRPGs they are great for story games, my fav is The trails games
I see Control there. Please play Alan Wake! Especially giving the fact that sequel was just released recently.
So which has the best story??
Bloodborne and Gascoin Family quest 😢
I’m currently playing Detroit become human and the character building is awesome in it so far really interesting concept
I recommend you trying Detroit become human
I wouldn’t consider Diablo 2 a story game.
If you’re a fan of Control, you should definitely play Alan Wake 2. Remedy really outdid themselves with this one.

My brother, where is Alan Wake?

I’d put on Planescape Torment, Disco Elysium, and both Pathologic games.

Me too! Also, I recommend Subnautica and Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Also incredible games in my opinion
Where is everyone getting these lists from?
Might I recommend the Persona & Yakuza/Like a Dragon series?
Both series have amazing stories.
Doom is not a story game.
So what is the story in dark souls?
Days Gone!
Play the plague tale games if you haven’t already. Those are some of the most gripping story games I have ever experienced.
These games are all masterpieces.
