Graphics age. Mechanics age. But a great story is eternal. There are games you remember not because they had pretty textures, but because they broke your heart, made you think, or left you staring at the credits in awe. Here are the games with the best stories you absolutely must play.
Disco Elysium — The Best Book That Is a Game
Metacritic: 91
A drunk detective, a forgotten name, and a city that mirrors his mind. Disco Elysium has no combat — instead it has the best dialogue system in gaming history. Your brain is a separate character — 24 skills, each with its own voice, arguing with each other as you make decisions. Every failure is a new story path. A literary masterpiece you will spend 30 hours in and remember forever.
BioShock — Philosophy in an Underwater City
Metacritic: 96
"No gods or kings. Only man." Year 1960, a plane crash, a lighthouse, and a bathysphere to Rapture — an underwater paradise turned hell. A critique of Ayn Rand's objectivism in the form of an FPS horror. Moral choices that genuinely change the ending. And that plot twist at the end? One of the greatest moments in gaming history.
Skyrim — Your Story, Your Rules
Metacritic: 94
OK, Skyrim does not have one brilliant linear story. But it has hundreds of smaller stories that you create yourself. The Thieves Guild, the Dark Brotherhood, the Civil War, Dawnguard — each one is a standalone game. And every player remembers their own story from the province of Skyrim. Because the best story is the one you live through yourself.
