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,

Well, if you can pick it up for 10 bucks or less, give it a shot but the story will not blow you away. I played WD2 and legion last year and there was a significant downgrade in story and characters between them. Gameplay was fine but I liked the spider drones in WD2 better than the new drones there.

It also felt much more political and "modern", similarly to what they seem to have done for FC6. So depending on your age and maybe political opinions, this might be a pro or a con. I agree with the notion that it becomes very repetitive too.

Other people here suggested Uncharted and Witcher, definitely go there instead if you can!!
