      In a way, I've been putting off playing this game precisely because I'm *so* excited to experience it. Because I know I can only experience it for the first time once. I know from past narrative adventure games how much I enjoy that kind of experience, another notable game from this past decade is Obduction from Cyan Worlds. It was extremely anticipated for me because of how impactful their earlier games, particularly Riven, were to me. I've played through it a few times, but the first time, as I actually pieced together the full story, absolutely blew my mind. I know those games aren't for everyone, but I get the overwhelming impression that Outer Wilds will hit at least as hard for me. It's like I'm waiting for a special occasion or something, but maybe that'll just be playing the game itself. Cheers for the reminder to play it!

    Probably the best story game I've played recently was Spec ops The Line. In the beginning its nothing more then a gears of war style three man arm generic shooter, but slowly it turns into almost a mental fight for survival. Its a genuine masterpiece that is loved by everyone who has played it. It's a actual travesty that the game was not a success as launch. It now has a cult following and it rightfully deserves it.

    "Back in the 90s storytelling in video games was still really primitive" The 90s ended with Planescape: Torment, famously one of the greatest stories ever told in a video game. Maybe I've misunderstood the statement but it feels like storytelling hasn't really improved since then.

    A Plague Tale. Two of them have been released the second one is currently on game pass. They are absolutely amazing games and truly tell an amazing story with extremely committed voice actors and are absolute in my top 10 games. But i will say replayability isnt exactly the best because it a pretty linear story.

    If it wasn't for Game Pass, I would have never really tried Yakuza/Like a Dragon or Persona series if it wasn't for it being part of the service. Always games I wanted to try but didn't want to pay for it since they're not my typical games I would go for, but now easily they're two of my favourite franchises of all time and help me get into other games I wouldn't have necessarily tried.

    GTA is actually not satire at all. Satire requires comic mockery and misrepresentation of a particular subject or set of subjects in order to criticize it towards a specific, usually political end.
    GTA is actually what’s called a “lampoon” which is a general and direct comedic mockery of a subject matter however without the direct political implication of the satire. In other words, the mockery is democratic in that nothing is safe from it, whereas satire picks its targets willfully and carefully as a type of commentary or criticism. Another good example of a lampoon is the show South Park. SP can get away from being so shockingly offensive mostly because of this element- since no body is safe from ridicule nobody is singled out in particular. GTA has always been the same- no one is safe from the writers at R* so no one gets exceptionally upset

    I recently finished Ghostwire Tokyo and I give it a solid 8 out of 10. The gameplay was great, most of the side missions were fairly unique not too "fetch questy" some of the boss fights left a bit to be desired, and having to rescue 240,000 souls is a big of a slog, but there are a set a beads you can wear that will make this task easier. I agree with you on Halo Infinite's campaign it, would have been better if members of the UNSC were captured and Master Chief had to rescue them and rebuild the UNSC, and this would introduce new characters into world of Halo so that Master Chief (and by extension the player) had new people to interact with. I absolutely loved the Witcher 3 it was amazing, I played it during the pandemic on game pass, then bought the game of the year edition and played it again! RDR2's story was amazing, and so many other games of the last decade that I can't even think of, Arkham Knight just came to mind, that was in 2015 wasn't it?

    If we’re being honest a lot games were always shite. Look at the countless nes, snes, n64, ps1, ps2 etc. games that sucked ass. It has absolutely nothing to do with “games were better back then” or “modern games are better”
    My point is there have always been shitty cash grab games that come out broken or glitchy, it’s not a problem exclusive to any era of gaming. People just like to simplify and pretend things are “this or that” when they typically fall somewhere in between or completely outside that spectrum

    If you didn't play the games why even put them on ur list. Sounds like you did a Google search for top story games the past 10 years

    No way did you include Starfield lmao
    It's the most milquetoast nothing game ever, it literally has no plot, find artifacts, fast travel to unity, do new game plus, THERE IS LITERALLY NO STORY OR CONCLUSION

    GTA V was not perfect at all, far from it. Especially when it comes to the story.
    Red Dead Redemption II waa far superior in every way.
    Another fail of a list video from you, why am i not surprised.
    And Starfield is a perfect story game?! You guys are cracked lol.

    GTA 5s story is pretty good but not perfect, they killed off Johnny Klebitz from GTA IV the lost and the damned and got him back with Ashley (which is dumb because at the end of TLOTD Johnny left her and the biker gang behind), they disrespected and wasted his character
