Top 3 Best-Written Video Games

It takes a lot to make a great game. You have to get all the
key elements right. The gameplay, story, art style, and challenges must all
work together. Even though the gameplay is up there as the most important
element in a game, the story is a close second.

.

Many games have immersive plots that keep gamers glued for
hours of gameplay. The strong character building makes gamers feel connected to
the protagonists and antagonists alike. The unexpected twists and fulfilling
ending keep the game memorable years later.

Most well-written video games

While there are many video games with excellent writing, we’ll
try to keep this list short by focusing on the top three.

.

Witcher 3

The Witcher 3 is more than just a visual magnificence.  One may even say it has the best video game
storylines. The narrative
storytelling is outstanding throughout the world. Not to mention the
dialogues among characters that are so fluid and relatable as if the characters
are sharing your sentiments.

.

Gamers don’t need long to realize the quality of the
writing. Right after the tutorial, the dialog between Geralt and Vesemir is
convincing enough. The writing team lead by Jakub Szamalek definitely did a
terrific job on writing, editing, and rewriting each scene. It’s no wonder
gamers love replaying the game simply to enjoy the story.

.

Metal Gear

The Metal Gear series is another good example of best
story-rich games. They’re practically theaters in game form. The story has
interesting characters and interactions that push the story forward with plenty
of actions.

.

Kojima deliberately writes the Metal Gear series to be
insane. Breaking the fourth wall is the norm for the Metal Gear series ever
since the first one. A notable one is when the Psycho Mantis read your memory
card and ask if you enjoy the games you play.

.

Dragon Age – Origins

This game is a decade old and yet gamers still see the need
to praise its greatness every now and then. Are they to blame? Certainly not.
Blame the game creators for making such a wonderful game with excellent
writing.

.

David Gaider, the lead writer of Dragon Age Origins is a world-builder at heart. For some, his
worlds feel similar to the one J.R.R Tolkien made for his trilogy. The
narrative is well thought of too. In addition, almost everything has a
backstory. Even the weapons have their own backstories.

.

Talking about backstories, we should also discuss the elves.
They have all the generic telltales such as pointy-ears, lithe, and affinity
with magic. Their backstory, however, is so much darker than the elves you’ll
find in many other games.

.

RPG fans also love the dialogues in Dragon Age that make
each character
stand out and unique. Players need to tend to each character in
different ways because the characters judge your actions. There’s no one size
fits all when it comes to character handling.

OK, so those are the three video games that many gamers
agree to have top-of-the-line writings. Is your favorite game one of them? If
