Best story games you have ever played

Here are the ones that stayed with me in no particular order (not an exhaustive list):

Dragon Age: Origins (PC). All subsequent DA games cannot hold a candle to the original masterpiece. Sunk many hundreds of hours into this.

Resident Evil 4 (original and remake). I've played the original RE4 multiple times across the PS2, GameCube & PC. The remake was a brilliant ode to a brilliant game. I should probably get started on another run..

Last of Us (PC). So immersive, so good. Can't wait to play the sequel.

Cold Fear (PS2 & PC). I remember sitting with my cousin as he played through this game on the PS2 and enjoying every minute of it. I developed the testicular fortitude to play this on the PC a few years later. An underrated gem of a game.

Def Jam: Fight for NY (PS2). So many good memories. So many great songs.

Days Gone (PC). I love me a zombie apocalypse.

Max Payne 3 (PC). This was the first Max Payne game I played (yea, yea). I had a reawakening during the COVID pandemic playing this at barely 20 FPS on a Thinkpad with a GT 540M. A personal hardware and PC building renaissance ensued. Sick game.
 
My best picks are
1. the metro series (although i didnt play anything after the second game since my laptop is weak af)
2.the long dark
3.The og modern warfare games 1-4
 
Finished playing the Uncharted series, lastly played it maybe 5-6 years ago on my PS3, now on the PS5. Loved it, though 1 was a bit poor IMO (it hasn't aged well.)

Red Dead Redemption 2 - What a game. The emotional storytelling of this... This game is the reason why I am so hyped for GTA 6.
Detroit Become Human - Incredible story telling for sure. Absolutely loved it.
GoW 2018 - Played it maybe 2 years ago now. It was my introduction to the entire God of War lore. Seriously good and couldn't keep my controller down.
GTA 4 - Played on the PS3, maybe a year ago now. I loved the dark and serious, gritty nature of the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 - Played before and after the Phantom Liberty update. Phantom Liberty was easily the best part of the game, and the final mission. Just wish it came out with more DLCs.
Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney Trilogy - Currently playing the game on my tablet, loved the first installment, Episode 4, I believe. The twists and turns were so good man.

Looking forward to reading more great story game suggestions from y'all! :)
Must add Sleeping Dogs. It really is a shame there's no sequel. The final few missions were incredible! :) Haven't played the DLCs unfortunately.
