What are some good games with an amazing story and decent gameplay?
Horizon Zero Dawn offers a long, refreshing experience. The Mass Effect series has its strengths, and Andromeda is enjoyable even with the Metro trilogy's reception. Tomb Raider’s reboot trilogy feels atmospheric, while DMC 5 provides entertainment without being overly impressive.
Dishonored series offers a solid experience. If you're comfortable with a non-first-person perspective, Oxenfree provides an unusual and unsettling narrative with solid replay value. For a story that prioritizes enjoyment over intense action, consider Firewatch, Everyone's Gone to the Rapture, Gone Home, and What Remains of Edith Finch. Alien Isolation works well for movie fans. Tomb Raider titles are visually appealing and feature compelling plots.
Red Dead 2 offers an unexpectedly compelling narrative. I enjoyed playing it on the PS4 and then again after its release on PC.
Lots of people talking about Dishonored. I was halfway through the first part when I stopped playing and came back to my save. It felt tough then, so I’d have to start over. I actually own three copies now—one with a proper title. My goal is to get the Legendary Collection, but it’s priced at £54.99 right now. Maybe wait for a sale. Death Stranding seems like just repetitive exploration from what I’ve seen, and Crysis feels dated. Even a remastered version looks average in graphics. I’ve played Bioshock 1, 2, and Infinite; I think the DLCs are worth checking out. I heard all three titles will have another remake or remake coming next year. I own Oxenfree but haven’t played it yet.
I also revisited Alien Isolation three times during the middle then paused, returning a few months later to try again... It looks good, just needs more time and the right mood. It becomes monotonous when I enjoy exploring everywhere and have to do it for the fourth time. Metro 2033 is all I own but never played yet. The Talos Principle isn’t really a puzzle game? Half-Life probably isn’t it, though it feels quite dated. Portal is solid and I’ve played both. TR doesn’t seem to enjoy being a digital version of Angelina Jolie. - Give me a special ops killer or a psycho clown.
It seems like you're reflecting on the game experience. While the story and atmosphere are engaging, the repetitive cargo delivery feels a bit monotonous. The blend of setting and soundtrack is strong, though. Many would prefer the original version over the remaster, which sometimes looks superior. In my view, the remaster isn't as impressive.
The three key moments from each series are highlighted:
1. **The Walking Dead Season 1** – a gripping tale of survival in a post-apocalyptic world.
2. **Persona 4 Golden** – a story blending action, mystery, and emotional depth.
3. **The World Ends with You** – a fast-paced narrative about choices that shape your fate.
