Alright, so in general video games have really really bad writing in them. And a lot of them can get away with that, because they’re still fun. But there are quite a few video games that actually manage to have good stories. Here’s a list of some that I’ve played.

• Arcanum: Of Steamworks & Magicka Obscura
• Bastion
• Bioshock
• Chrono Trigger
• Golden Sun 1 & 2
• Her Story
• Persona 5
• Planescape: Torment
• Portal
• Puzzle Agent
• The Stanley Parable
• Thomas Was Alone
• To The Moon
• Transistor
• Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines
• The Witcher series (especially the 2nd and 3rd games)
• The Wolf Among Us
• The World Ends With You
