Although it's still hotly debated amongst critics of all generations, we've finally arrived at a point in time where video game stories can at least contend with some of the best film and literature has to offer. Sure it's still debated, and whether or not you think gaming has its own 'Citizen Kane moment' is something that might forever remain entirely subjective - but there's always those games that alongside brilliant gameplay mechanics and art aesthetics, wear a tight and polished script with pride. Getting narrative beats to land as they're intended is something developers are still tangling with in games. On the one hand you've got titles like Call of Duty that'll lock you to a particular track to lead you through a level, and on the other the likes of the Metal Gear Solid series which, following the first Playstation title has become increasingly fascinated with just showing you cutscene after cutscene. Both methods can work wonders, and often it's a combination of the two that brings to the front exactly why we love video games so much. Often when it's done well there's no method of storytelling anywhere near as engaging, as making you the one that uncovers that last clue, saves the victim or delivers that final blow elevates whichever experience to hand into so much more. Disclaimer: We'll be touching on spoilers for each game throughout.
