Xbox One X Games with Great Storylines for Beginners

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.

'Quantum Break' has a really interesting story. It combines time - travel elements with a mystery - filled plot. You play as Jack Joyce, who has to deal with the consequences of time - breaking experiments. The game has live - action sequences that blend well with the gameplay, adding to the overall narrative experience.

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.

For beginners interested in role - playing games, 'Dragon Age: Inquisition' can be a great pick. It has an accessible story that you can get into easily. You are the Inquisitor, tasked with saving the world from a big threat. There are different races and classes to choose from, and the story adapts based on your choices, which is quite interesting for new players.

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.

For beginners, 'Tell Me Why' is a good choice. It has a touching and somewhat dramatic story about twins reuniting and dealing with their past. The gameplay is not overly complex, so it's easy to get into while still enjoying the story.

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.
