A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Looking for a game with a great story... Could it be Watch Dogs: Legion? (lemm.ee)

So two-part question here:

If you've played Watch Dogs: Legion, did you like it?

And especially, did you like it for the story?

This makes me think the game is not primarily about the story: https://opencritic.com/game/7405/watch-dogs-legion

I played WD2 and enjoyed that quite a bit though never finished it.

I want the next game I play on my PC (via Steam, etc...) to have a great story. Recommendations greatly appreciated.

Other games I've played with what I thought were great stories: Psychnoauts 2, Portal 2, Soma (though I'm not really into scary games), Firewatch, Metro all, The Talos Principle

Cheers,

Witcher 3 has a pretty dope story. I also enjoyed The last of us, even though I am not much into shooters or zombie games.

Baldur's gate 3 and actually the other Larian studio games are also having good stories. Yakuza is supposed to have a nice story too, even GTA5 has a cool story.

I tried Witcher 2 and never finished it. Just not my thing, I concluded.

I had no idea GTA had a story at all, so thanks for that idea.

I played all the games in the trilogy and read the books too, but Witcher 3 is completely worth it and much much better compared to the previous games in my opinion. You can buy it when it is on sale, play a bit and return it if you still think it is not your cup of tea. The beauty of this game is that a lot of the side quests are not fillers and almost every one of them has its own story that compliments the main quest line.

The Witcher 3 DLCs are also incredible. And if they release the mod support that will make it even better.
