Andy Robertson writes: "Games like Heavy Rain and Uncharted 2 spend too much time serving the story, rather than putting gameplay first. Sometimes this works. Heavy Rain is obviously an extreme example with its choose your own adventure delivery, and it is undeniably a compelling way to tell a story. Also, in a backwards kind of way I loved Uncharted 2 for this, but it means that I actually preferred watching the cut scenes to the gameplay sections."
These are the best short games on Xbox Game Pass. They offer a variety of different experiences that can be enjoyed without commitment.

Well I guess we know where all that gamepass money is going right into a giant s labelled bucket
I've really wanted to play A Short Hike and Airborne Kingdom for a while now so it's cool they've been added but yeah I don't see this exciting the masses
GF365: "These are our picks for the best side-scroller games on PC. The genre was popular back in the day, and these modern games prove the genre is still alive and well."
No just no, don't try to say uncharted serves narrative to much when both 1&2 had an awesome story with amazing gameplay nuff said. As for Heavy Rain leave that game the way it is it's one of the most intense and engaging games ever, I wish there were more like it.
Cant games have both? Great gameplay and great narrative?
Why choose if you can do both...
Exactly, a talented enough team can put together both without breaking a sweat. UC2 has enough of both and is lacking in neither(IMO anyway), so apparently ND has found a pretty good balance. It is only when one is emphasized more than the other so much that it becomes a detriment to intended experience that it becomes a problem.
"Games like .... Uncharted 2 spend too much time serving the story, rather than putting gameplay first " Interesting perception...
How many other games that year won 50+ GOTY awards?
Glad the author likes the games though.
