Looking for AAA singleplayer games with a great story.
First of all, sorry if this isn't the right place, but I don't know where else would I post.

Anyway, as the title says, I'm looking for singleplayer games with a great story, that I haven't played, obviously.

Here is my Steam library:
https://steamcommunity.com/id/unturorum/games/?tab=all

My favourite games of all time are (not in this order):

-Alien Isolation - because of its amazing atmosphere, fun and intense gameplay, it's actually a scary and an original horror with no generic jumpscares, and I love the original film

-Assassin's Creed (2, 3, Origins, Odyssey) - 2 and 3 for their amazing stories, Origins and Odyssey mostly for the open world gameplay and all of them for their incredible soundtracks

-BioShock (all 3, but I don't like 2 as much as 1 and Infinite) - story, atmosphere, gameplay, soundtrack, pretty much everything

-Fallout: New Vegas - I love it for the replayability, choices and overall RPG gameplay and 50s atmosphere

-Dishonored 2 - oustanding art style and level design, fun and creative gameplay

-Prey - for every reason I like BioShock

-L.A. Noire - brilliant story, characters, soundtrack, I just love it, it's an absolute masterpiece and truly an 18+ game

Worth mentioning, I also enjoy Far Cry (getting New Dawn on the next sale), Wolfenstein (getting Youngblood as soon as I can), DOOM (getting Eternal whenever it comes out), Just Cause (I'll wait until 4 becomes cheap) because they're fun games. I liked Resident Evil 7 and I'll get 2, also whenever I can, but I'm not interested in the others.

Also, I'm really not a fan of Skyrim and Witcher, even though I know that they're great games. I don't mind Borderlands, but it's not so good in my opinion.

And finally, I'm looking for AAA games because I just don't enjoy playing poor quality games, simple as that.

Thanks in advance.

Mass Effect Trilogy, except the ending sucked.

Planescape; Torment
Baldur's Gate

K.O.T.O.R. (Knights of the Old Republic) 1 and 2

Fallout 1 and 2, ♥♥♥♥ that bethesda garbage.

I see no mention of the Mass Effect series.
edit: nevermind someone beat me to it.

You can get the first 2 games on Steam and the third game on Origin as well as Andromeda (but the 4th game isn't directly connected to the story of the first 3 games). But it sounds exactly like what you might be looking for. A AAA game with a great singleplayer story.

The first Sonic Adventure. The original Dreamcast release was the best, but the Steam version can be improved with Dreamcast conversion mods.

Because Fallout Tactics and BOS didn't suck..

3 & NV are great games. 4 is ok. Certainly not garbage. Never played 76 before you start crying about that.

Amazing storyline worthy of sitting aside 2, brotherhood and revelations not to mention FREE on on Ubisoft store.

While the story is not the best, combat method and companion building is quite different to other games.

Did I mention either of thsoe games? No I did not. AND, Fallout 3 and 4 are bastardizations of Fallout, New Vegas actually TRIED to fit in with the feel and fun that 1 and 2 had. (probably cause one of the devs for new vegas actually worked on the original fallouts if I remember right)

And 76 is just a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mod for Fallout 4. Hell even the final boss fight is just a revamped dragon fight from Skyrim, it's a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ shameful travesty of a cash grab.

Didn't have to mention them, just proving a point. Some Fallout games sucked even before Bethesda took over. Strange how you missed that..

Ummm excuse me sweaty, but Tactics didn't suck.

Jokes aside. It really didn't. It butchered the lore (not as bad as Fallout 3 or 4), but it still had pretty good gameplay for the time. Still holds up to today's standards imo. You're right about BoS though...that game was so bad that not even Bethesda considers it canon.
