I already own several popular titles like Spider-Man, the Uncharted collection, Ghost of Tsushima, God of War, and Life is Strange, plus some other ones I can’t recall right now. I’m really into games that have amazing stories and character development. Are there any fantastic narrative-driven games for PS5 that I might have overlooked? I’d love some recommendations on what to play next. Also, if you had to rank story-heavy games, which ones would you suggest I tackle first? I’m open to any genre as long as the storytelling is top-notch.
The Last of Us Part 1 and 2 are must-plays if you haven’t tackled them yet. Also, give Disco Elysium a shot if it’s on PS5; the writing is top-notch. Red Dead Redemption 2 nails character development like no other. Horizon Zero Dawn and Forbidden West also deliver great narratives, especially if you enjoy sci-fi. And don’t overlook Cyberpunk 2077; it’s improved a lot and the main story really hits home.
Control has this wild supernatural story that gets pretty mind-bending. The whole Federal Bureau of Control thing is fascinating and the main character Jesse is really well done. Detroit: Become Human is another solid pick if you’re into sci-fi stories about androids and choice-driven narratives. Also check out Death Stranding if you want something completely different, though it’s definitely weird and not for everyone.
If you haven’t tried it yet, give Persona 5 Royal a go. The story is amazing and the character development is top-notch. I was hooked for over 100 hours, it’s definitely worth your time.
The Witcher 3 still holds up incredibly well for storytelling if you missed it
