NieR Automata
!The way that game makes you suspect that the machines are alive, innocent beings (at least as innocent as androids are) is creepy af.!<
!Not to mention that final part when you have to choose between killing 9S and A2, and don't even get me started on some of those side quests!!<
That game started dark and just kept getting darker when i thought it wasn't possible.
Idk to me it's kind of like saying "TV series' aren't good at storytelling" because it really depends on what game you're playing. I've played games that I think have fantastic storytelling that ties the whole experience together and I've also played games whose bad storytelling ruined the gameplay. On average, I think most games have at least decent storytelling, but I think it's improved a lot with newer titles.
