15 Video Games With Complex Stories

Death Stranding

Death Stranding is one of those games whose plot unfolds in a fairly straightforward fashion but whose events are anything but. From the very get-go, you’re inundated with details about B.T.s, Porters, Bridge Babies, the Chiral Network, Timefall and the Seam, with even more to learn about the actual gameplay. But along with extensive lore that fleshes out the post-Extinction world, the characters have their own detailed backstories and motivations that tie into the overall themes of isolation and connection.
