What’s an RPG without a decent story attached to it?

From action-adventure titles to RPGs, several different genres have the ability to excel in the narrative department.

To do so, the studios have to put significant focus on storytelling and hire talented writers.

BEST RPG STORYLINES

If they do, then a brilliant main narrative is achievable.

14Yakuza 0

Most of theYakuzagames have a strong story.

The best, however, features in Yakuza 0.

The tale mainly revolves around an empty lot.

You play as two people closely associated with the Yakuza who live in different parts of Japan.

Both protagonists are masters of marital arts and tend to like to solve things with their fists.

BioShock The Collection

So, much of the gameplay revolves around beating people up.

Somewhere, beyond the sea, BioShock’s city of Rapture has fallen into disarray.

Each installment boasts unforgettable twists that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

Moreover, the parameters of these games are uniquely mesmerizing.

What truly sets this game apart is its gripping storytelling, atmospheric world-building, and captivating gameplay mechanics.

11God Of War

The story premise ofGod of Waris rather simple.

The said wish is for her ashes to be scattered at the highest point of the nine realms.

Naturally, things get a bit deeper and more complex as time goes on.

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.

It’s all very compelling due in part to the excellent writing.

10Mass Effect Legendary Edition

Technically, theMass Effect Legendary Editionis three games instead of one.

Yet, there is one overriding story throughout the three sci-fi adventures.

Your customizable protagonist, known as Shepard, is the leading person trying to stop the invasion from happening.

Yet, despite their usefulness, humans aren’t always particularly nice to them.

And during the game, you start to see the androids become tired of being mistreated.

So, they begin to rebel.

Miles and Peter Spider-MAN

Most of them want to be treated fairly and as equal citizens.

So, the tale seems to be inspired by equality disputes from the real world.

In fact, it perhaps goes a little too close to those real-world issues at times.

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.

Yet, he also has to manage his civilian responsibilities as Peter Parker.

Yet, this one is so well-written that it deserves to be highlighted.

Shadow Of The Tomb Raider Underwater Cave Exporation

you’re able to see this in the characters, who all have great depth and understandable motivations.

Naturally, this makes you care about them, which the game uses to create some emotional scenes.

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

But what really makes it work is how slowly it all builds.

At the start, it just seems like a nice coming-of-age tale.

Things keep getting wilder and darker as the episodes go by, though.

Red Dead Redemption 2

The pacing is impeccable and keeps you on the edge of your seat.

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.

This time, he is after Henry Avery’s lost treasure.

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

This is a classic treasure-hunting tale that you expect to see in games like Uncharted.

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.

With each installment, we join her as she uncovers the secrets hidden within ancient tombs.
