Xbox One Games with Great Storylines

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.

Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection. It has an easy - to - follow story that is full of adventure. Nathan Drake's quests for treasure are exciting and the characters are charming, which is great for those new to story - driven games.

Ori and the Blind Forest has a beautiful and emotional story. The story of Ori's journey to save the forest is presented in a way that's accessible even to beginners. The gameplay is intertwined with the story, and the art style makes the whole experience even more immersive.

Definitely 'Alan Wake'. The story revolves around a best - selling thriller novelist, Alan Wake, who finds himself in a nightmarish town where his written nightmares come to life. It has a very unique and spooky atmosphere that adds to the story. Then there's 'Sea of Thieves'. While it may seem like a simple pirate game at first, it has a great underlying story about pirates, their legends, and the search for hidden treasures. You can uncover the secrets of the sea as you sail with your crew.

Another one is 'Red Dead Redemption 2'. The story of Arthur Morgan and his gang in the wild west is a masterpiece. It shows the struggles, loyalty, and moral dilemmas of the characters. The game's narrative is driven by both the main storyline and the interactions with the other members of the gang.

'Mass Effect: Andromeda' has a great story. It takes players to the Andromeda galaxy where they lead a new team on a mission to colonize new worlds. The story involves exploring different planets, interacting with alien species, and uncovering the secrets of the new galaxy. There are multiple paths and choices that affect the outcome, adding to the replayability.

I would say 'The Outer Worlds'. It has a great story with a lot of humor. You're in a corporate - controlled future and your choices matter a great deal. 'Assassin's Creed Odyssey' is also good. It's set in ancient Greece and the story of your character's journey, whether you choose Alexios or Kassandra, is full of historical events and personal vendettas. 'Control' has an interesting and mysterious story about a secret organization and a strange building with otherworldly powers.

Finally, 'Sea of Thieves' has a unique story. It's a pirate adventure game where you can create your own story to some extent. But there are also main story quests and lore that involve finding treasure, fighting skeleton pirates, and dealing with the supernatural elements of the sea. It's a fun and engaging story, especially if you like pirate - themed adventures.

In 'Gears 5', the story is about Kait Diaz as she uncovers her family's past and battles against the Swarm. It has intense combat sequences and a story that delves into the lore of the Gears of War universe. The characters are well - developed, and the story keeps players on the edge of their seats as they fight through hordes of enemies to uncover the truth.

I'd recommend 'Ori and the Will of the Wisps'. It has a heart - warming and engaging story. You play as Ori, a small spirit - like creature, on a journey to save the forest of Nibel. The story is beautifully told through the game's visuals and music. 'Cuphead' also has an interesting story. You play as Cuphead and Mugman, who have made a deal with the devil and must now fight through a series of challenging bosses to pay off their debt. The art style and the story's premise make it really unique.
