Yoko was the director, not a writer?

What, specifically, did you like?

[medion_no]

If you play for the narrative there are few games that come close to these.

I think the Metal Gear Solid series has some similarities in storytelling. Especially MGS2.

[medion_no]

Xenosaga in PS2.

[The Sorrow]

Metal Gear Solid games (all of them except those not directed by Kojima)
Life is Strange (1 & before the storm), but gameplay here is kinda unusual

[❛❛Vénttea❜❜]

If you're looking for a depressed but very good story, existential and on PC, I would recommend.
- SOMA
- PREY (2017)
- Spec Ops: The Line
- Max Payne Trilogy (Difficult game)

If it's on Console
- 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
- Kojima's Mainline Metal Gear Solid Series

Tbf, even though he is not the main writer. The whole concept, characters, theme, lore and idea is his vision, he has a writer to help flesh out those ideas into a structure and to make it work. This method isn't unheard of in the Entertainment Industry and it's quite common place. In essence it is a Yoko Taro game and a Yoko Taro story because none of it would exist without him. Much said about Tetsuya Nomura for the Final Fantasy Series.

Although where credits due, the whole team as a whole did a create job re-creating the director's vision and the games wouldn't exist without them as well.

Taro is also the writer, not just a director, he also personally wrote a lot of the stories and materian in the side books.
If you like the idea of a deconstruction of the Hero's role in a game, and the ideas Nier plays with, play
Spec Ops: The Line, SOMA, and Prey (2017) as the above commenter said but I would add
Braid
SW: KOTOR 1
Amnesia: Justine
Pathologic 2
Outer Wilds
GOLDEN SUN: THE LOST AGE
The Vanishing of Ethan Carter
The Bureau: XCom Declassified (no, really, its janky af but way smarter than you wold think)
Bioshock 2: Minerva's Den
Disco Elysium

Planescape: Torment.

[medion_no]

But really none of those stories mentioned capture the tone and shape of Yoko Taro's stories. That is something that you can only find in his games.

i know its gonna sound insane and people are free to disagree with me but i really like playing the legend of zelda twilight princess back to back with nier replicant. the aesthetics of the landscape and the monsters are similar. However the style of the narrative is different though of course

Planescape Torment has a LOT in common with Yoko Taro games apart from titties. If one seeks story it is just as good if not BETTER than yoko taro games.

As much as i love PLANESCAPE TORMENT (i betatested the game, and worked on mods for it back in the day): NO. Its a really great game tho.
