It depends on how story heavy you want, but Persona 3, 4 and 5 that is heavy on the story with gameplay. As for games that is close to a pure story in a game, something like Indigo Prophecy/Fahrenheit and Beyond: Two Souls.


Just stop worrying, and love the bomb.

Heavy Rain

You experience more of the story the better you are/get with the controller.

PS2:

-GTA 3, Vice City, or San Andreas.
-Silent Hill 2
-Scarface: The World is Yours
-Resident Evil 4 and Code Veronica X
-Mortal Kombat Armageddon

PS3:
-The Last of Us
-The Uncharted series
-Heavy Rain
-Far Cry 3 and 4
-The Evil Within (even though I personally have it for PS4)
-Dishonored


It's all shits and giggles until someone giggles and shits.

-Life is Strange
-Telltale's Walking Dead

^ Ignore every other answer until you've at least tried those two

-Bioshock
-Fallout 3 / New Vegas
-Mass Effect trilogy - the first game has very awkward combat, 2 plays significantly better
-Heavy Rain - takes some patience as the story starts off very slow
-Most rockstar games (GTAIV, Red Dead Redemption, LA Noire)

My favourite game of all time, and a large part of that was because how much the story grabbed me. With most games I just wish they'd stop talking so I could get back to running round and shooting things, but with Deadly Premonition I just constantly wanted to know what was going to happen next.

The Disgaea series also has focus on the story, but the game play can be off putting (tactical round based RPG which is complicated as hell).

I second these.

If you're okay with games that have a great concept but minimalist story in terms of dialogue, Shadow of the Colossus and Manhunt have outstanding atmosphere. I also recommend Shadow of Destiny, which is a little-known about game that plays almost like a visual novel. It has some questionable plot holes but the endings are phenomenal and there's tons of twists.


If I offer to help you in a post, PM me to get it. I often forget to revisit threads.

If visual novels are your thing, the Danganronpa and Zero Escape series.
