What have been the games whose writing really got into you?

Talos Principle is the best story I’ve played hands down.

I just played around 6 hours of it, but Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 intro made me cry. With everything going on in the world right now the sense of despair is very relatable.

I just finished playing Triangle strategy and sometimes that games writing gets so good but feel what the very characters are feeling. What about you? What have been those games that have gripped your hand and made you feel every turn of the page?

Between maps, you have a config interface where you pick a pilot, guns and a vehicle to put it all on. But you also have a window with Intel. You have to pay ingame money to unlock this Intel, in the same you have to pay to unlock pilots, guns, vehicles, maps. They prices are not negligible. I unlocked every single piece of Intel, many times before I unlocked other more useful things, because it was *that* good. I wanted to read more. I wanted to know more. I should point out that most of the Intel was self sufficient : it wasn't a huge story cut up in parts. I could read one Intel and there was no incentive to buy the next more expensive one to know the end. But it was quality military sci-fi and so much lore building. And here and there, hints about cool equipment combos to try out in game (this pilot in that mech with those guns and gizmo). It was a complete shock to find such quality in what is otherwise a shooter. Yes, many action RPGs have encyclopedias worth of lore, disseminated freely throughout the world, on items, etc. I think the presentation here helped. But I was genuinely surprised at how good and enjoyable it was to read. I literally sat down and few times spending like an hour reading through bits and pieces and going to play a map or two only so I'd have enough cash to unlock some more. I hope I get to enjoy such surprisingly good writing in a game again in my gaming lifetime (and I've been playing for about 37 years, I should add).

I actually didn't like the first Plague Tale. I found it somewhat boring and quite bad. Fast forward to 1 or 2 years after that, I totally forgot about the first game and I'm browsing the PC gamepass library on my new gaming laptop and I see this cool looking game called A Plague Tale Requiem, I decide to try it and I'm instantly hooked. The story was the best video game story I had ever experienced, and the graphics were the best video game graphics I had ever seen, later I found out that this game was a sequel to the first Plage Tale that I didn't bother completing because of how terrible it was. It's astonishing how much better Requiem is, it's like a totally different franchise, it's like going from the first GTA to GTA5
