The prominent rise of the gaming industry over the last few years and subsequent money being pumped into the form of media has enabled game studios to create meticulously detailed character models with impressive motion capture.\u00a0It has also left them\u00a0able to afford skilled voice actors and scriptwriters. This\u00a0has subsequently resulted in games being able to tell more immersive and captivating stories than ever before, exemplified by titles\u00a0like\u00a0Life Is Strange<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Story-Heavy Games To Play If You Loved The Last Of Us, Ranked By Metacritic<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Life Is Strange\u00a0<\/em>was developed by\u00a0Dontnod Entertainment and\u00a0tells one of modern gaming’s most well-constructed stories, earning it the Best Use of Narrative accolade from the\u00a0Develop Industry Excellence Awards<\/a>. Thankfully for Life Is Strange<\/em> fans who are looking for something else to play, there are numerous other games that offer similarly impressive and encapsulating stories<\/a>, such as the ten on this list.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>Heavy Rain<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The highly influential<\/a>\u00a0Heavy\u00a0<\/em><\/a>Rain<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>tends to get a bit of a bad rap today, though the fact of the matter is: not many of\u00a0this list’s entries\u00a0would exist without it.\u00a0Quantic Dream’s\u00a0Heavy Rain\u00a0<\/em>begins\u00a0with a father tragically losing his son before his life spirals out of control shortly after. The game puts players in multiple other characters’ shoes, which was a unique feature for its time.<\/p>\n

Heavy Rain\u00a0<\/em>may not have the polish that\u00a0Life Is Strange <\/em>and other recent games possess, but it still tells an interesting, powerful story that will have most players gripped from beginning to end.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>The Walking Dead<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although it seems like a distant memory now, it was only a decade ago when films, books, and video games were being inundated with stories featuring zombies<\/a>, undead, or infected villains.<\/p>\n

It’s clear how overdone the form of media was becoming when playing The Walking Dead <\/em><\/a>today, as even the characters don’t seem surprised that a zombie\u00a0apocalypse is taking place and many of them just accept what’s happening straight away. This particular element may have aged badly, though the rest of the\u00a0first season\u00a0still holds up, as it tells a fantastic story that isn’t afraid to pull on the heartstrings. The subsequent seasons weren’t as well-received as the first, but they’re still worth checking for those that found season one enjoyable.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

2018’s The Awesome Adventures of Captain Spirit\u00a0<\/em>is an obvious choice for this list as it was developed by\u00a0Dontnod Entertainment and published by Square Enix, the same teams that worked on\u00a0Life\u00a0Is Strange.<\/em><\/p>\n

The game wasn’t as critically acclaimed as\u00a0its predecessor,\u00a0exemplified by its\u00a0Metascore ranging between 75 and 79. However, the game is still worth checking out for anyone who loved Dontnod Entertainment’s gameplay style in the\u00a0Life\u00a0Is Stange <\/em>series. Moreover, the games are set in the same universe, so it will certainly be interesting to anyone wanting to know more about the game-world.<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/a><\/i>\u00a0certainly differentiates itself from\u00a0Life Is Strange\u00a0<\/em>with its gameplay that supplements frequent combat sections<\/a> with common RPG elements. However, it earns a spot on this list through the similarities in decision-based storytelling.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Story-Heavy Games To Play If You Love The Witcher Trilogy<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

CD Projekt Red’s adventure sees the protagonist Geralt finding himself in numerous complex situations where he needs to use his judgment rather than his sword to find a solution. Along with the main story, the game has many memorable side quests, particularly the Bloody Baron and Ghosts Of The Past questlines.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

6 <\/span>Alan Wake<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Alan Wake<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>puts players in the shoes of an author,\u00a0as he and his wife travel to a town named Bright Falls in hopes of helping his writer’s block. Things soon turn sinister as Alan’s wife goes missing, and strange, unexplainable\u00a0events start to occur.<\/p>\n

The game utilizes\u00a0Resident Evil 4<\/em><\/a>-like combat as players tackle numerous enemies throughout their journey to save their wife and resolve the horrifying mystery inspired by\u00a0the work of American author Stephen King.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Detroit: Become Human<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Detroit: Become Human<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is the second game on this list developed by\u00a0Quantic Dream, the first being\u00a0Heavy Rain.\u00a0<\/em>The gameplay and storytelling style of\u00a0Detroit: Become Human\u00a0<\/em>have\u00a0many similarities to\u00a0Heavy Rain<\/em>, most notably the way that leading characters can die throughout the game depending on the player’s\u00a0decisions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Beyond: Two Souls<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is another game from worth Quantic Dream that is worth checking out, though having three entries from one game studio on this list seemed like overkill.\u00a0Beyond: Two Souls\u00a0<\/em>has an impressive cast that includes Willem Dafoe and Elliot Page.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>The Last of Us<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Naughty Dog\u00a0<\/em>set a new standard for storytelling in 2013 with their morbid post-apocalyptic adventure<\/a>,\u00a0The Last of Us<\/a>. <\/em>Although it seems silly now, many people were dismissive of the game before it released, as they believed\u00a0it would just be an\u00a0Uncharted\u00a0<\/em>clone looking to cash in on the previously mentioned zombie-hype; a criticism that quickly subsided when the game was released.<\/p>\n

Its\u00a0storytelling was particularly innovative in how much of it is told outside of cutscenes, through more natural interactions during gameplay and notes from survivors. Moreover, the game’s heavy story showed that mainstream gaming audiences were\u00a0ready for more emotional storylines\u00a0that focused\u00a0on\u00a0difficult\u00a0subjects.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>Yakuza\u00a00<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Yakuza<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>series is perfect for anyone that wants to experience a story-driven adventure but doesn’t want it to be too serious<\/a>. Although\u00a0the franchise touches upon numerous tough subjects regarding the Yakuza crime-organization,\u00a0it ensures to switch up the pace by littering the small open-world<\/a> with weird and wonderful side quests and activities.<\/p>\n

RELATED:\u00a010 Story-Heavy Games To Play If You Loved Red Dead Redemption 2<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Although the side quests are often utterly bizarre, they still tend to tell interesting stories that will keep players invested and interested in how they’re going to end, despite how nonsensical they can often be.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Chrono Trigger<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Although this list is primarily focusing on more modern titles, it would seem unfair to ignore the retro market completely.\u00a0Chrono Trigger<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>certainly isn’t just a token entry on this list, however, as the game tells a fantastic story with an impressive\u00a0number of endings.<\/p>\n

Chrono Trigger\u00a0<\/em>is considered to be one of the greatest JRPGs of all time, which will\u00a0likely fall short of surprising for\u00a0anyone who knows that the\u00a0design team consisted of people like\u00a0Yuji Horii and\u00a0Hironobu Sakaguchi, who were the creators of\u00a0Dragon Quest\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Final Fantasy\u00a0<\/em>respectively.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>Mass Effect 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

When it comes to decision-based storytelling, the\u00a0Mass Effect<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>series is the first franchise that springs to mind for many people. Not only do the games require players to make difficult decisions that often have devastating consequences, but they also build a detailed sci-fi universe with Codex entries that provide intricate lore and locations that can tell a story without a single word being said.<\/p>\n

Although\u00a0Mass Effect 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>is widely considered to be the best entry in the series, it’s worth playing through the first game before delving into\u00a0Mass Effect 2 <\/em>to understand the game’s meticulously crafted world\u00a0in full.<\/p>\n
