What are some good games with really awesome stories?

(With a Linux version or at least works good with Proton) Edit: just bought disco Elysium, going to post updates in the comments when I try it tomorrow. It's on sale until tomorrow in case anyone is going to purchase it.

  • I'm surprised no one has mentioned Final Fantasy 14

    • HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED MMORPG FINAL FANTASY XIV WITH AN EXPANDED FREE TRIAL WHICH YOU CAN PLAY THROUGH THE ENTIRETY OF A REALM REBORN AND THE AWARD-WINNING HEAVENSWARD EXPANSION UP TO LEVEL 60 FOR FREE WITH NO RESTRICTIONS ON PLAYTIME

      • AND THE AWARD-WINNING HEAVENSWARD EXPANSION UP TO LEVEL 60

        *and the award winning heavensward expansion and also award winning stormblood expansion up to level 70

    • Probably because DT has seriously damaged many people's view on their storytelling ability

      ARR->EW is a fucking great ride though

      • To quote myself from a different thread:

        I liked how Dawntrail played out, but I feel there are a ton of stuff in there that met the cutting room floor. I think Krile was supposed to be present more, Solution Nine feels empty despite bring vast, and I thought we were finally getting a rideable train. But anyway, I understand the mixed reception, still, the game had to have its next Realm Reborn world-building steps after Endwalker concluded ARR, and they couldn’t do much without being the slog A Realm Reborn was.

        • couldn’t do much without being the slog A Realm Reborn was.

          I agree with everything else you said, but not this. I've seen multiple people write out different mild rewrites of areas and bits of the story to make it more interesting, and it wouldn't have been much more work to flesh out the MSQ into more than just "go here talk to person" to the extreme it was. It didn't have to be a slog

          Hell, had they just picked between the two completely different stories in this expansion (hi Stormblood critique from 2017) and kept with that for the whole epac they could have produced something far less of a slog at least, and actually really GREAT at best (just look at the content design after all)

          Shit my queue just popped I'm off to fight THE BEST BEE GIRL EVERRRRR
