Spec me a game with emotion / story

almoststew1990 · 26 Mar 2015 at 23:18

I can't remember the last time I played a game and cared about the character I was playing as or the NPCs, or had a story with any kind of pull and emotional weight to it. Has anyone got any suggestions for a game that ticks this box??

"My top game of 2013 and probably of all time. A truly unique game in which you control a pair of brothers on a quest to save their father. Powerful."

Maybe...

Walking Dead
To The Moon (In a bundle at Bundlestars)
Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons

Spec Ops: The Line. As a third-person shooter it is pretty average but the story can get to you.

F.E.A.R.

Mafia 2

S.T.A.L.K.E.R. titles

Deus Ex

Morrowind

The Last of Us, if you have a PS4 of course.

To the moon is okay too.

That's one that Ive bought in a sale and never played- I think I'll give it a go!

I might get Brothers too based on the reviews...

As has been mentioned, Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. It is incredible.

Also, To The Moon got me a bit too....It is hardly a game though tbh.

Hotline Miami 2 :cool:

As others have said, Brothers is a good shout. The Walking Dead also.

Another vote for Brother, played it through with my son, loved it. Very moving game.

Worthy of the praise and is also good fun.
