Best New Games with a Story: Any Recommendations?

Super Mario Odyssey is another great one. Mario goes on a journey across different kingdoms to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. The story is simple yet engaging as you explore each unique kingdom, from the sandy deserts to the bustling cities, and interact with all kinds of characters. It's a classic Mario adventure with a great modern twist.

One great game is 'Life Is Strange'. It has a complex story that involves a lesbian relationship. The characters are well - developed and the story is full of choices that impact the relationship.

'The Girl on the Train' by Paula Hawkins is also a must - read. It's set on a train commute, where the main character witnesses something strange. As the story progresses, you get drawn into a web of mystery, lies, and secrets. The unreliable narrator adds an extra layer of intrigue to the whole narrative.

As of 2024, I'm not aware of any brand - new 'sc games for story' specifically. However, the game development industry is always working on new projects, so there could be some in the pipeline that haven't been announced yet.

One game like Kingdom Story could be 'Clash of Clans'. It has a similar concept of building and managing your own kingdom. You need to construct buildings, train troops, and defend your territory from other players. Another option is 'Castle Clash'. It also involves creating a stronghold, recruiting heroes, and engaging in battles to expand your influence. 'Empires & Puzzles' is also a great choice. It combines puzzle - solving with kingdom building and strategic battles against other players.

One game similar could be 'Café Enchanté'. It has a unique story and characters. You get to interact with various beings in a café setting, much like how in 'Maid Story' you interact with different elements in its world. Another is 'Obey Me!', which has a similar concept of building relationships with characters through different scenarios and tasks.

One game like Bakery Story is Restaurant Story. It has a similar concept where you manage your own establishment. You can decorate the restaurant, choose the menu, and serve customers. Another one is City Story. Here, you build and manage an entire city, which also involves aspects of resource management like in Bakery Story. And then there's Farm Story, where you take care of a farm, grow crops, raise animals, and can also interact with neighbors, much like in Bakery Story.

One such game is 'Final Fantasy Tactics'. It has a complex and engaging story that, like many games with a Final Fantasy (FFT) feel, involves political intrigue, magic, and a diverse cast of characters. The story unfolds in a medieval - fantasy setting where different factions vie for power.

A game that comes to mind is Guacamelee! It has a unique art style and engaging combat. The platforming elements are on par with Celeste, and it also has a great story filled with humor and charm.

Valheim could be considered. It's a survival game set in a Viking - themed world. You have to gather resources, build structures, and fight various creatures. The exploration aspect is strong as you sail across the seas to discover new lands. Factorio is another game. Here, you are mainly focused on building and automating a factory system. But like Rune Story, it involves a lot of resource management and strategic thinking.
