There are two types of gamers in the world: those who play for the score and those who play for the story.
The stories of the best video games can make an impact even more than a movie or book when they’re done well, and that’s precisely because you’re a part of it. It may have taken mediocre decades to get there, but in the end the best stories in video games can compete with Hollywood movies.
Whether dealing with emotionally open indies or AAA games that know how to empathize with their main character, there are countless reasons why we want to keep our virtual heroes alive. Buckle Up: These are the greatest (virtual) stories ever told.
