My favorite all time is Bioshock. I think that the setting, messages, playthrough, and even music is so well made. Enjoyed playing that game from start to finish. Including Bioshock 2 and Infinite (Even though Infinite was so different from the other 2)

While not a huge fan of story based games, I enjoyed playing Far Cry 5. Maybe because of the religious cult aspect.

The Outer Worlds was decent too. Cyberpunk2077 was decent, despite the bugs.
 
Pathologic 2. That game is so hard it's cathartic.

Even dying (which will happen to a player many times) adds to the story.

You play a plague doctor in a village trying to fight the "sand pest".

Resident evil and silent Hill were great games that I'll always remember. Both freaky and challenging

omg YES that triology is solid, gameplay is fun. I CANT BELIEVE andromeda was so bad.... also assasins creed 2, brotherhood, revelation triology is kinda fun... only character from the hole franchise that I actually cared about, Ezzio Auditore... also Assasins Creed III is cool... Las of us series are superb, the first tomb raider: a hero is born, from the new franchise is great, half life, splinter cell conviction its a great one, Dead Space is pretty cool, Ghost recon wildlands, not breakpoint, wildlands is awesome..
Red Dead Redemption 1 is awesome, of course 2... Now if you really wanna go immersive and freeky you can play Fallout 4 and mod the shit out of it, it can be any game you want, also the expansions from the comunity are amazing: Depravity, Outcast, Valkyrie, etc...
For any story game (not BF4 lol for that use low settings) I would recomend using Reshade.me and/or a ENB fileter. You can color correct and really bring those graphics out, sharpening, xmao, flares, etc. .. setup fake anamorphic bars and throw some digital flares and gaming is like a movie.

The Suffering - Prison is Hell

The game really stuck with me through the years. I have wanted to buy an old playstation and the game just to relive it, but never get around to it. I like the overall craziness of it, the sci-horror setting. I don't think I'll ever play it again, just to remember how much I liked it then.

Bioshock had a great storyline btw. Really liked the first game in the series. Wasn't as big a fan of the third installment and I'll leave it at that.
 
For me that's a three way tie between Metal Gear Solid 3, Metal Gear Solid 5, and Spec Ops: The Line.
  • MGS dialogue is cringeworthy to say the least. But 3's writing was so good and somehow it got me so personally invested in the story that I ended up loving the game so damn much. The last thing you do as part of the final boss fight genuinely made me sad. Even if Kojumbo thought it was a good idea to use analog button presses for firing a gun when the triggers were right there.
  • Metal Gear Solid 5 retains the... bad... dialogue of previous games. But again. The writing and how it somehow manages to make you emotionally invested in the game. I feel like the longer (in hours) a game is the more likely it is to kind of draw you in. If anyone is new to the series and wants to play it make sure to play peace walker first. I mean, you don't have to, but it adds context and meaning to the beginning of the game.
  • SO:TL. I heard a lot about the game so I went into it with high expectations. Those expectations were met and exceeded. I can't talk about much of anything beyond the premise without spoiling it. Play it. It is kind of overpriced at $30 for little over seven hours of content so i would wait for a sale but that's just my opinion and i suffer from terminal not wanting to spend money disorder.
  • Death Stranding. I know I said three way tie but this just popped into my head just know. Call me a Kojima shill but I really liked it (inb4 "walking sim" they actually found ways to make the walking engaging and interesting. That sounds like a joke but it's not.) DS has markedly better dialogue than MGS games and there were several scenes that probably would've emotionally impacted me had I not fried my brain from, you know, existing in this pandemic rn.
Sorry for the long post. I have trouble picking a favorite thing out of a set of things.
