Leviathyn.com | Over the years of gaming we have seen many great releases, of which many contain compelling and engaging stories and have left us heart-broken, overwhelmed with delight, or simply in shock. So here’s a top 10 list to narrow down what we believe to be the best narratives in gaming.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
Uncharted is missing!!!

Good to see Grim Fandango on the list, Manny is the ultimate reaper
Erh Skyrim? I have no idea why is even on this list, its not a narrative at all, it focuses on quantity not quality
Star wars: The Knights of the Old republic I & II?
And where the hell is Metal gear solid (Any of them)
