Rules:

• List up to five games released from 2010 to 2019. In my experience people don’t much enjoy ranking stuff so no ranking is needed. Each game you list will receive 1 point. Feel free to list honorable mentions.
• Feel free to present and discuss the games and to reply to other posts but use spoiler tags if you go into detailed discussion of the story.
• The Last of Us 2 and Final Fantasy VII Remake along with other 2020 games are excluded. Only games released from 2010 to 2019.
• Please don’t harass other users if they don’t share your idea of what a good narrative is.
• When votes stop coming in I will present the results in a separate thread. I might use your presentation as a quote for the results thread.
