PC games with a great story narrative?

[lysan]

Ok guys, I've just finished Mafia II, great story I really enjoyed playing it, these type of games are really like playing a movie.
However I find that it's very difficult to find a good game where the story is great including the voice acting.

So I need some suggestions of what other game that are out there i can play with a good story.

 

[Zetta]

An oldie but still fantastic - The Longest Journey

 

[Asp Explorer]

All I can say is

Planescape: Torment

 

[Imo]

The Homeworld Series (Homeworld, Homeworld 2 and Homeworld Cataclysm).

The Homeworld Series (Homeworld, Homeworld 2 and Homeworld Cataclysm).

Got those

All I can say is

Planescape: Torment

That one keeps popping up, need to check it out I guess.

 

[Jenner]

Old Bioware games like Mass Effect and Knights of the Old Republic are some of the best.

 

[Asp Explorer]

That one keeps popping up, need to check it out I guess.

And so you should

Cheap on GOG just now

 

[Jenner]

Fallout 1 and 2 and New Vegas.

Wing Commander series. (Schlock but good fun)

Baldur' s Gate 2

 

[lokvette]

Bioshock, 1 2 and 3 Metro 2033, and Metro last light, and for something really old F.E.A.R. Half life, yeah the are FPS but the stories are great.

Mafia III has a pretty good story and characters, but if you want me to recommend top ones - Witcher 2/3, Sleeping Dogs (if you are in to serious undercover cop stories) and Mass Effect 1/2/3.

The original Deus Ex had an amazing story, second one was okay if a bit too short. Human evolution was absolutely awful though, don't know about the latest as that was enough to put me off the franchise.

 

[Frank]

All I can say is

Planescape: Torment

There's a good reason why this one keeps popping up. It's a really really good tale

There's also Outcast

and if you can stand a very bad game, Anachronox has a brilliant story

 

[lysan]

Actually I found dead space in my lib, i had forgotten all about that one.

 

[Ian Skippy]

All I can say is

Planescape: Torment

Its awesome, but old. If that bothers you a lot you can try torment: tides of numenera. Both are great, but also more like reading a great book than watching a movie.

 

[Arry]

Red Dead Redemption? Not sure if you can get it for P.C.?

 

[Ian Skippy]

Red Dead Redemption? Not sure if you can get it for P.C.?

no.

 

[Cmdr Nemo]

Last years version of HIT MAN, followed by this years version.

 

[[VR] optimal_909]

no.

Which is a shame, a HD remaster of it would sell like hot cakes.
I had it on PS3, great story even by the very high R* standards.

 

[Agony_Aunt]

All I can say is

Planescape: Torment

This. Although it does require you to really read the dialogues and think about your choices.

An oldie but still fantastic - The Longest Journey

This, oh this. The Longest Journey is probably my strongest emotional experience in gaming.

In similar fashion, the latest additions into adventure genre - Life is Strange and Oxenfree - have similar qualities, though nothing will ever get close to TLJ in my books.
