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,

Cyberpunk 2077 has a great story if you're into the cyberpunk genre. It's got its own spin on a collection of really great cyberpunk stories rolled into one narrative. It's the closest thing outside of the books themselves that makes one feel like they are in something written by William Gibson himself.

Ok. You said the magic words for me: William Gibson. I'm in.

No idea why I never made that connection in my own head before, but thanks!

The main crux of the plot is kinda like Johnny Mnemonic. Except the data in V's head that's slowly killing him/her is Keanu Reeves instead of the cure for some disease.
