Best Story-Driven PC Games You Need to Play

Here's a list of the best games that will blow your mind with their stories:

Best Story Games 2022

Assassin’s Creed Origins

Origins takes place in Egypt. Our character in the game is Bayek, a Medjay. His duty is to protect the Pharaoh and the Egyptian people at the cost of his life. But a group called the Order of Ancients kills the Pharaoh and his son. Bayek then rolls up his sleeves for revenge for his son and turns Egypt upside down. Thanks to its side quests alongside the main story, this game actually turns out pretty great.

HITMAN 2

There's barely anywhere you don't go or a mission you don't take on in this game. One moment you're secretly taking people out in a Formula 1 paddock, the next you're at a concert venue. While sneaking into bamboo houses in a resort area, you're also trying to infiltrate special locations in crowded settings. It's a great game, especially when you look at it from the perspective of stealth games.

Far Cry 3

On a vacation with our friends, we suddenly find ourselves taken hostage. The game's villain, Vaas, has captured us. Our goal is to escape captivity and reach our friends. But at the start, our character is a bit of a coward. Luckily, our older brother helps us, but he dies in the process. Then we make a vow to kill Vaas and save our friends. With the support of the island's inhabitants, we rise up against Vaas. While we tear down his outposts, we also try to rescue our friends. The most striking part of the game's story is its final stretch, because at that point, you're asked to make a choice, and your choice affects the ending.

Crysis Remastered

In this game, we play as a character named Nomad. Our character is part of the USA's Delta Force. We head toward an island off the coast of North Korea, because there's an ancient spacecraft there and we need to find out what it is. But the North Koreans don't know we're there — at least not until the fighting starts. Meanwhile, the fighting isn't just between us and the North Koreans. The aliens have turned hostile toward us as well. We fight both enemies using the abilities granted to us by the nanosuit we're wearing.

Detroit Become Human

We leave Scandinavian lands behind and head into the future. Androids have taken over everywhere around us. They're in every job, from childcare to policing. And of course, they do their jobs well. As a result, human labor is gradually being pushed out of the workforce and unemployment starts to rise. Half the population doesn't want us around. People try to rough us up when they see us on the street. The best part of the game is that everything unfolds based on our choices. In other words, there's no single fixed story. We can be an android trying to find middle ground with humans, or a rebellious, anarchist android. In fact, it gives us a perfect opportunity for empathy. Its story and visuals will impress you quite a bit.
