But what really makes it a good story is the relationship between Kratos and his son.
Both characters develop throughout the story, as does their bond.

10Mass Effect Legendary Edition

But it remains a captivating narrative throughout.
This gives a broader picture of the whole situation.
8Marvel’s Spider-Man
As in mostSpider-Mantales, New York City is in danger in this game.
The threat, this time, primarily comes from Mr.

Meanwhile, there is something sinister going on at her school that impacts young girls.

The main characters are great, too, and remain compelling despite occasional clunky dialogue.
That is until his long-lost brother arrives on the scene and brings him into another whirlwind adventure.

Yet, the Drake siblings aren’t the only ones.

However, this story manages to separate itself from the others because of its high standard of writing.
The script is funny and deep.
And Nathan Drake’s story about struggling to give up the life he’s always known is interesting.
