Crosscode.



Don't let the fact its pixel style fool you, this thing is an underrated gem. Everything is well above par and there's plenty of solid story moments you would not expect from a game of this type. It's massive too with plenty of content especially with the DLC attached.

Outside of that plenty of people have suggested the Yakuza series and I will agree with that, but don't discount the spin off's Judgement and Lost Judgement either, both have fantastic storys.

Oh also... Final Fantasy 7 Remake... I mean I assume most people have played it at this point but on the off chance you haven't, well worth the ride even if you played the original...

im looking for a game that is longer than 8 hours ( i would like 20-100 hours ) that has a good story , i dont care about platform , i have all except switch , im really bored and i need a game to fill my time

For pure story/characters:




For story/characters but still retaining some fun action

SOMA

SOMA is the best story that was ever told in the entire video game medium, leagues above 99% of the production and it will shred you apart.

So yeah, if you have not played it, SOMA.

A really underestimated gem!

The execution of the story from start to finish will leave you shattered with all kinds of emotions and lets me think of it a least once a week although i finished the game years ago.

This is a real mindfuck that goes deeply under the skin!

 

[Ulysses 31]

Fall Out New Vegas
The Last of Us Remastered
Jedi Knight 2
Max Payne 1 or 3.

Xenoblade Chronicles

edit: sorry, no switch

He said nothing about not owning a Wii(U) or New 3DS.

The Last Of Us..........part 2

Wouldn't you recommend part 1 first though? I think without part 1 a lot of the impacts of part 2 would be lessened.

Fall Out New Vegas
The Last of Us Remastered
Jedi Knight 2
Max Payne 1 or 3.

I recently played Mass Effect 1 LE and you can bust through that amazing tale easily in under 15 by just doing the main story. And its very, very easy game even on insane, its totally out of whack.

 

[Alebrije]

Elden Ring , Will take more than 100 hours and the story is the one you Guess with the information provided with all items and npc , it's like a puzzle with missing pieces.

If You want a more direct story told by NPC a lit of examples have been mentionated , I would add :

Days Gone , simple basic story but fun

Valhalla ...but Will take more than 100 hours unlock all áreas

 

[The_hunter]

Well since you don't have a switch.. then no.

What where you going to recommend him on switch? I could use the advice.

 

[geary]

Outer Wilds

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Eternal Darkness if you want to go the emulation route

 

[silent head]

 

[NoPiece]

It is a puzzle game, but The Talos Principle has an amazing story.

 

[op22]

Cyberpunk 2077. It has no shortage of abysses to stare into while you slowly evolve from a human to a sentient machine.

I've been meaning to play this is long, I thought of the SOMA recommendations in this thread and downloaded it again last night.
