What are some games where you can experience both good and bad storylines?

The Witcher 3 has an amazing story. It's full of complex characters and plot twists.

One reason is that the developers might focus more on the gameplay mechanics. For example, in a fighting game like 'Mortal Kombat', they are so occupied with creating cool combat moves and characters that the story takes a backseat. The story might be just a simple pretext to justify the battles between the characters.

Also, 'Oxenfree' is great. It has a supernatural story set on an island. You play as a teen named Alex and your decisions shape the story. There are multiple endings and the dialogue is really well - written.

Forza Horizon 4 may be a racing game, but it has a great story too. Set in a beautiful and dynamic open - world Britain, the story unfolds through the seasons. You progress through the game by participating in races and events, and along the way, you meet interesting characters and unlock new areas, all while enjoying the beautiful scenery and exciting races.

Red Dead Redemption. While it's an open - world western game, the main story is excellent. You play as John Marston, a former outlaw trying to redeem himself. The story takes you through the wild west, with memorable characters, shootouts, and a great exploration of the era's values and the concept of redemption.

One is 'A Short Hike'. It's a cute little game where you play as a bird on a hike. The story is simple but charming as you interact with other animals and explore the island. Another free game is 'Slime Rancher'. In this game, you take on the role of a slime rancher. The story develops as you expand your ranch and discover new types of slimes.

Definitely 'The Last of Us Part II'. It's a masterclass in storytelling. The relationship between the characters, especially Ellie, is deeply explored. The zombie - like infected add a constant sense of danger and the story is full of heart - wrenching moments. It's not just about survival but also about revenge and forgiveness.

Borderlands. The shooting and looting mechanics are really fun. You get to explore a vast and interesting world, and the character classes are diverse. But the story is all over the place. It's like a jumbled mess of different ideas. There are a bunch of characters with their own little sub - plots that don't always connect well to the main story. It seems more like an afterthought compared to the great gameplay elements.

I'd recommend 'The World Ends with You'. It has a unique and captivating story set in modern - day Shibuya. The concept of the Reapers' Game and the character development are really interesting.
