To be honest I dislike those best game posts that pop up here and there from time to time but mostly because those games are taken out of perspective. I find it difficult to compare plot of games which are not related to each other at all like for example Fahrenheit and Final Fantasy XIII.
So I want to know what you would choose for THE BEST STORY DRIVEN GAMES EVER in their separate categories.
I had problems sticking to just one game for each category so I chose those which deserved to be mentioned in my opinion.
Best Story Driven Games (no order)
1. Phantom Dust Probably one of the strangest games I ever played. It's more or less a card game made into an action game with a compelling story formed around two characters on a dusty planet. | |
2. Breakdown Though Breakdown was not the best game game-play wise it's still a great game that features dimensional and temporal travel. This would fall into the category action. | |
3. Gothic II I loved the second installment in the series. It's a good looking western rpg which has an awesome German voice cast and a great story. | |
4. Mass Effect Most people surfin' on GB will probably know this game since it's also one of the more recent. Though I didn't love the combat I sure liked the story. An action rpg. | |
5. Terranigma Rebuilding the world piece by piece is your goal in this SNES classic. It's a jrpg mixed with western characteristics. You battle in real time but gain levels. | |
6. Indigo Prophecy A very fast paced story to tell and worth to be played. This game can be counted to the action-adventure genre | |
7. Shenmue II A game which had a great atmosphere and a story worth telling. To bad this story was never finished. An action-adventure like Fahrenheit. | |
8. Valkyria Chronicles One of the best told and looking stories ever packed into a strategy game. | |
9. Final Fantasy X A lot of unexpected events happened in this game and I never ceased to love it. One of the best jrpgs ever made. | |
10. Lost Odyssey A game that proved to me that a game with a looooot of text doesn't have to be bad, on the contrary the short stories in the game were really deep and thoughtful. A jrpg at its best. |
