Japanese Games with Good Story for Beginners

For beginners, 'Animal Crossing: New Horizons' is a great choice. It has a simple and relaxing story where you build your own island paradise. The characters are cute and the story progresses as you develop your island. Another option is 'Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'. While it's mainly a racing game, it has a story mode where you compete in different cups. It's easy to understand and has that classic Nintendo charm. 'Kirby Star Allies' is also beginner - friendly. Kirby's story of rescuing his friends and fighting against the evil forces is straightforward and the gameplay is accessible.

One great Japanese game with a good story is 'Final Fantasy' series. It often features complex and engaging storylines that span across different worlds, with themes of love, sacrifice, and the battle between good and evil. The characters are well - developed, and the overall plot keeps players hooked from start to finish.

Uncharted 4: A Thief's End. It has an accessible story that's easy to follow. The characters are engaging and the adventure - filled plot keeps you hooked throughout. It also has some really cool set - pieces and exploration elements.

For beginners, 'Portal' is a great choice. It's an FPS in a sense, but with a unique mechanic of creating portals. The story is simple yet engaging as you are guided through the test chambers by a rather sarcastic AI. It doesn't have complex controls like some traditional FPS games.

Journey. It's a short but very impactful game. You play as a robed figure traveling through a beautiful and mysterious desert. There's no complex combat system to worry about. The story is told through the environment and the interactions with other players (if you play online). It's a great game for those new to PS4 and interested in story - rich experiences.

Horizon Zero Dawn. It has a relatively easy - to - follow story. You play as Aloy, a hunter in a post - apocalyptic world where machines rule. The story gradually unfolds as you learn about Aloy's past and the secrets of the world she lives in.

Journey. It's a short but very impactful game. The story is told through the journey of the character through a beautiful and mysterious world. There are no complex controls, making it ideal for those new to PS4 games with a story.

Minecraft Story Mode is a good choice for beginners. It has a simple yet engaging story. You follow the adventures of Jesse and his friends in a world made of blocks. It's easy to understand and has a lot of humor and heart, with choices that can affect the outcome of the story.

Forza Horizon 4 also has a decent story mode. It's not a traditional story - driven game in the sense of a complex narrative, but the way it gradually unfolds the racing world, introduces new challenges and characters in the context of the beautiful British countryside, can be quite appealing to new players. It has a light - hearted and accessible story.

Detroit: Become Human. This game offers multiple storylines based on the choices you make as an android. The stories are about android rights and self - awareness. It's a great game for beginners as it's not too complex in terms of gameplay but has a very interesting story concept.
