  2. Curlique on May 29, 2022 at 8:29 pm

    Not to be rude or anything BUT WHERE THE FUCK IS THE WALKING DEAD!!!!!!!



  3. Antonym Vanguard on May 29, 2022 at 8:30 pm

    Yeah, not bad Mojo! Got a few recommendation for The Witcher game, but just dunno bout the third person Fighting parts though



  4. William Moyle on May 29, 2022 at 8:30 pm

    I’m just glad Firewatch got some much-deserved love. That game’s story is soooo good



  5. Chris Kim on May 29, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    I think it’s funny how these guys use Life is Strange as the click bait and doesn’t give it number 1 after bringing all the video’s views lol.



  6. Aryan on May 29, 2022 at 8:31 pm

    Am I the only one who came here for the *Walking Dead*



  7. mrpepre on May 29, 2022 at 8:32 pm

    life is strange was a great experience, but nier will always be my favourite game of the past decade.



  8. Digvijay Singh on May 29, 2022 at 8:33 pm

    Nier is so good . That storyline blew me away .



  9. Aty S. Behsam on May 29, 2022 at 8:34 pm

    And OF COURSE the video starts with Nier: Automata because thAT SHIT IS GOOD.

    But it should have been MUCH higher in the list!



  10. I KNOW EVERYTHING on May 29, 2022 at 8:35 pm

    Life is strange ♥️ best



  11. Yashwanth Boddeda on May 29, 2022 at 8:36 pm

    Quantum break is the best sci fi narrative game ever made



  12. Militech on May 29, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    Life is Strange is shit and very boring



  13. Hassanal Estino on May 29, 2022 at 8:37 pm

    I question watchmojo’s choices regarding their listing and ranking, it feels like they don’t have a concrete research in just about every category, Last of Us, What Remains of Edith Finch, Legend of Zelda: Breathe of the Wild, The Walking Dead, etc is not even mentioned. I feel like their researcher is just too lazy enough.



  14. WatchMojo.com on May 29, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    These games are hella good tho



  15. Gaudeamus_Igitur on May 29, 2022 at 8:38 pm

    Bitch where is Mass effect?



  16. Dante Liu on May 29, 2022 at 8:41 pm

    Where is Detroit become human!?



  17. Tamirez Natividade on May 29, 2022 at 8:43 pm

    Just wanted to tell you that Jesus Christ loves you so very very much even if you don’t believe it and He died for our sins so that whoever believes shall not perish but have eternal life in Christ Jesus <3



  18. Gergő Molnár on May 29, 2022 at 8:43 pm

  20. Player Two With James And John on May 29, 2022 at 8:45 pm

    It’s odd that Life Is Strange is on Crappy Games wiki. I think it’s a good game.



  21. peepeepoopoo on May 29, 2022 at 8:47 pm

  27. DarkKnightNiner on May 29, 2022 at 8:57 pm

    Watched 3 of these top 10 stories in videogames and not even an honorable mention for either of the two new Wolfensfein games… Like have you guys not played those? Lol



  28. jay the no longer blue mama on May 29, 2022 at 8:58 pm

    If anyone likes story driven games you should look into the game what remeins of Edith Finch



  29. KerrBox on May 29, 2022 at 8:59 pm

    i’m starting a gaming channel, and my first video is going to be uncharted part 1 of the nathan drake collection. my next video is going to be part 1 of a different game but i don’t know what it should be, i don’t want it to be another PS4 exclusive, i have an xbox one as well, any suggestions?



  30. b r e a on May 29, 2022 at 8:59 pm

    Life is Strange was a great story. Unfortunately, I found that I could barely get through it based on the cringe dialogue alone. It felt very ‘adults think teenagers talk like this’. I had a very hard time liking Chloe because of very cringe dialogue. Max and Chloe are the main characters and their dialogue was the cringiest. Very difficult to play through lol.



  31. m00nheartz on May 29, 2022 at 9:00 pm

    beyond two souls?



  32. Akhand Tripathi on May 29, 2022 at 9:00 pm

    If you make this list a few months after you would have got rdr2 as content



  33. irfan on May 29, 2022 at 9:04 pm

    great list



  34. gorillaz242 on May 29, 2022 at 9:05 pm

    Do a top 10 games of the 8th generation



  35. Roudy Hambone on May 29, 2022 at 9:06 pm

    Hmm.. I was almost shocked n disappointed that "The Last of Us" didn’t make this list.. then remembered I played it on PS3 first then PS4.. the remaster 🤣



  36. ShadowOfNexxus on May 29, 2022 at 9:09 pm

    Mafia 2 should 100% be number 1



  37. Premsingh Bayas on May 29, 2022 at 9:11 pm

    It’s too good
    Please make on best story driven games.



  38. Mr PGR2 on May 29, 2022 at 9:13 pm

    LiS is a MASTERPIECE



  39. J on May 29, 2022 at 9:13 pm

    Hehe I saw Life Is Strange as the thumbnail I had to click.🦋❤️



  40. Chandan Ramteke on May 29, 2022 at 9:17 pm

    Where is Life is strange before the storm?



  41. Mr PGR2 on May 29, 2022 at 9:18 pm

    the end of act 4 is EPIC



  42. Neptune Death on May 29, 2022 at 9:18 pm

    I knew Witcher 3 would definitely be in no 1.

    If we remake this then RDR2 would definitely be no 1 followed by Witcher 3 of course.



  43. Digvijay Singh on May 29, 2022 at 9:18 pm

    I played witcher 3 , nier and persona 5 and I found nier to be the best story wise , then comes persona 5 and then witcher 3 . Witcher is great but not the best imo.



  44. Installing Windows on May 29, 2022 at 9:20 pm

    How tf did this guy choose something as stupid as life is strange



  45. Mr PGR2 on May 29, 2022 at 9:21 pm

    Playstation>Nintendo>Xbox



  46. Lee Coulon on May 29, 2022 at 9:23 pm

    I’m biased, but HZD should be higher than some of these. What story is grander than the extinction and the rebirth of our entire planet! Very disappointed…



  47. Jayden C on May 29, 2022 at 9:24 pm

    everyone saying LIS smh I’ve heard nitw is actually better



  48. Gulags nd Communists on May 29, 2022 at 9:24 pm

    I’m only here to find one as good as RDR2



  49. Kenneth Rodriguez on May 29, 2022 at 9:26 pm

    witcher 3 is a masterpiece



  50. Cuzzy Muscle on May 29, 2022 at 9:27 pm

    Just finished the Witcher and it definitely deserves to be top of the list
