Sad games for pc. The best games for the computer with an interesting and exciting storyline. Death of Squad Noble in Halo Reach

It is possible that you have already noticed for yourself a couple of projects that could be discussed. If these were older hits, during which we shed tears, then Red Dead Redemption would definitely be on the list. But we will try to tell you exactly about the recently released games that broke our hearts.

But enough introductory speeches, here are some of the saddest games of the past five years. By the way, which game made you cry the most? Leave the names in the comments.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

• Developer: Starbreeze Studios
• Publisher: 505 Games

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a heartbreaking story in which you immediately find yourself in the middle of terrible events. The game has simple controls, and the passage itself will take you only a couple of hours.

You play as brothers who travel to distant lands to find and bring special water. It is believed that she will be able to heal their terminally ill father, although the journey itself will be a real test for them. In the process, you can visit several completely different locations and enjoy stunning views.

Because of full walkthrough takes only a couple of hours, it is almost impossible to tell more details without spoilers. But, summing up, one thing can be said for sure: this is an incredibly beautiful game with interesting (and even unusual) gameplay, where not only puzzles, but also several bosses are waiting for you.

Life is Strange

• Developer: Dontnod Entertainment
• Publisher: Square Enix
• Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, X360, XBO

At first glance, Life is Strange doesn't look like a game with a deep story at all. But you just have to give it a chance, and you will not be able to tear yourself away from the monitor for a minute. And the most terrible moment will be when you have to put the gamepad aside. The focus is on dialogues and opportunities for exploring the world. Therefore, the project from Dontnod Entertainment is an excellent choice for novice gamers and those who value a deep storyline.

You control a young girl named Max, who was admitted to the prestigious Blackwood Academy in her final year of high school, where she can pursue photography. In fact, she returns to her hometown of Arcadia Bay, where she again meets her best friend childhood Chloe.

Since Max moved in with her parents, their friendship has gradually weakened, turning the girls into nothing more than just old acquaintances. One day Max discovers that he has superpowers that allow you to rewind time. And, thanks to this, return his friendship with Chloe. But with all that said, there is something deeper lurking in Arcadia Bay than it might seem at first glance.

In the course of the passage, you will learn many secrets that a quiet town carefully hides. Along the way, making emotionally difficult choices that depend on further development plot. it episodic play, and since the entire season has been available for a long time, we recommend that you pay attention to Life is Strange.

The gameplay is focused on solving puzzles and exploring the world, so there will be no special difficulties with controls and other moments. Just go and play. Let's not be a spoiler, but Life is Strange has an ending that has kept the controversy between fans going on to this day.

Life is Strange: Before the Storm

• Developer: Deck Nine
• Publisher: Square Enix
• Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO

We've been waiting for a sequel to Life is Strange since the release of Season 1. Dontnod Entertainment did a great job creating a wonderful story that kept us in front of the monitor until the very end. And while we don't yet have a full-fledged sequel to the franchise that takes the story a little further or introduces completely new characters, we do have a prequel.

Developed by Life is Strange: Before The storm it was a completely different studio. Instead of Dontnod Entertainment, which worked on the first season, Deck Nine took a very different approach and gave fans even more than they could chew. In this part, you will control Chloe Price, Max's best friend from Life is Strange.

And again, in order not to spoil the details, especially given the fact that the second part is inextricably linked with the original game, which is also on our list, the sequel covers the time period when Max leaves Arcadia Bay with his parents. After which Chloe is left in disarray - another fact well known to us after the release of the original Life is Strange.

It is in this part that we can get to know Chloe Price in more detail and find out what kind of trouble she got into. It would seem that she had nothing left, when suddenly she finds a new friend who can take Max's place. The story tells about Chloe and the girl who was wanted at the very beginning of Life is Strange - Rachel Amber.

Be that as it may, this is another "emotional swing" among video games. And if you decide to launch Before The Storm after completing the original Life is Strange, you can get a closer look at Chloe's life and learn about her relationship with Rachel.

The last of us remastered

• Developer: Naughty Dog
• Publisher: Sony Computer Entertainment
• Platform: PS4

Naughty Dog really knows how to do great games and have been producing amazing Sony exclusives for several years now. So, one of the studio's releases, The Last of Us, immediately fell in love with the public. Largely thanks to the gameplay and narrative.

In fact, The Last of Us tells about a post-apocalyptic world that has survived a global catastrophe - a pandemic caused by a mutated mushroom. This is a special virus that, when it enters the human body (through inhalation of fungal spores, blood or saliva of an infected one), causes irreversible consequences and turns the victim into some kind of zombie. Technically, though, it's not really a zombie.

As the game progresses, we control Joel, whose familiar world collapses at the very beginning. However, after a small temporary leap, we learn that in a world full of chaos, corruption and uncertainty, his life even managed to improve a little. Soon another shock awaits him and a meeting with a little girl Ellie, whom he is forced to protect during their journey on foot across the country.

As you can imagine, this is a long journey, so it will take Joel and Ellie a long time to reach the end. During this time, they manage to become very close and attached to each other. But the longer we delve into the story, the more we realize how dark this world has become.

The game completely captures the attention, and so much so that you can not tear yourself away from the monitor until you complete it. And for all the time that you spend on it, you will definitely become attached to some of the charismatic characters from The Last of Us.

What Remains of Edith Finch

• Developer: Giant Sparrow
• Publisher: Annapurna Interactive
• Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO

The walking dead

• Developer: Telltale Games
• Publisher: Telltale Games
• Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, PSV, X360, XBO, Mobile, Ouya

Telltale Games studio really cares about their projects. They develop and release not only their own games, but also those that develop in popular universes (like Batman and Game of Thrones). Typically, this is an interactive movie in which the main plot twists depend on the player's previous choices.

The main action of the game The walking Dead takes place in the world of the popular AMC comic book and TV series The Walking Dead. Therefore, in the process, you can even see a couple of familiar faces. And yet, the focus is on precisely own characters who are trying to survive in the popular TWD universe.

In the first season, we meet the prisoner Lee Everett, who is being transported to prison. Until suddenly the apocalypse itself frees him from custody. Having found freedom in a new world where chaos reigns, Lee meets a little girl Clementine, who is left on her own. He immediately takes on the role of her protector, protecting her from the realities of a new, even more cruel world.

Overall, the game is an interactive drama over several seasons. We strongly recommend that you play the first part to fully enjoy the heartbreaking story, the final (fourth) season of which is due out very soon.

Blackwood crossing

• Developer: PaperSeven
• Publisher: Vision Games
• Platforms: PC, PS4, XBO

Blackwood Crossing is the debut project of the PaperSeven studio, which invites players to try on the role of the girl Scarlett. As the game progresses, she is forced to take care of her younger brother Finn, but the longer you get to know Blackwood Crossing, the more clearly you understand how much the world around you is changing and how many strange things around. In addition, as players learn more about Scarlett's life, they will have to solve challenging puzzles.

Like What Remains of Edith Finch, the game is ideal for novice gamers and those who just want to enjoy the narrative without the "extra" action. The main highlight awaits you at the end, when you finally understand what is going on with Finn and Scarlett.

Ordinary people tell stories about going to work, sitting with friends in cafes and sleeping during breaks. To live brighter and have more cool stories in your arsenal about how you rescued princesses from the clutches of dragons, saved the world from the Forces of Evil and hijacked cars of civilians at your leisure, do the right thing - play games.

An important point: this is not the top of the generally recognized best games, these are toys recent years, in which we, employees of 2x2, have buried more than one night and which we would recommend to everyone. Believe us, we will not advise you badly.

The Witcher 3. Wild Hunt

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE

Geralt, a specialist in destroying monsters, travels through the fantasy world in search of the girl Ciri, who can stop the advent of the Wild Hunt (just take it for granted that this is bad and scary). He walks through the fields and forests, kills griffons, sleeps with beauties and jokes during breaks. And a reaper, and a gamer on the pipe.

Any part of The Witcher is obscenely good, and with each next toy in the series, everything only gets better. This is even unfair in relation to competitors, who, a priori, should be very ashamed of what they are in comparison with The Witcher. "Wild Hunt" is super-developed quests, many of which hide an unrealistic cool story... All completed quests and decisions affect the ending of the game, which is cool and motivating. Combat system here I have received many advantages since the time of the second part, Signs gained in usefulness, the world is as detailed and open as possible.

It will appeal even to those who just love cool novels. And adored, how much the most epic coubs spawned by localization!

Journey

Platforms: PS3, PS4

You are a mysterious someone, your goal is to get to the sooooo distant mountain. The synopsis of the plot is described by this more than completely, but you can not even imagine how magical and unusual gaming experience hiding behind it. This is very meditative and beautiful game- music, graphics, landscapes - in which you will have to go through very picturesque locations.

Everything here is really unusual and unusual. No map, no clues, no multiplayer per se, but! During the journey, you can meet with another player and move with him to that very mountain... You do not know absolutely nothing about your companion - except that it is a living person. You have no means of communication, except for the semblance of shouts, and only at the end, after completing the "Journey", you see the name of your companion in the credits. Sooooo unusual and cool gaming experience.

Grand theft auto v

There is no point in promoting GTA. Every Pokemon has known about the delights of this world since time Vice city... But the fifth part (aka the 15th game in the series) is something. Jesus Christ Rockstar Gone 266! million! dollars! in the development of the game! There are 3 main characters with elaborate characters, whose stories are intertwined. The final goal is to rob the US Federal Vault, carrying out more than $ 200 million in bags and pockets. Oh, my!

In GTA V there is maximum freedom: an open dynamic world, the ability to switch between heroes at any time and as many as 3 endings of the main storyline... Steal, go to strip clubs, steal cars, love, watch TV, do yoga, play Tamagotchi, take selfies, transport contraband! Everything is possible here.

And breaking news for those who slept in the burrow last years: multiplayer finally appeared in GTA V... Now all the same can be done online with your gang, and it is not at all necessary to have friends. But be prepared for a Game of Thrones-style death - very, very sudden.

Deponia The Complete Journey

Platforms: PC

Deponia is cool humorous quest that boosts logic and erudition... Ideal for those who hate shooting games and consider ordinary quests to be primitive and boring. The plot of the quest is that Rufus, tired of life on a small planet littered with garbage, one after another makes ridiculous escape plans.

Friends level Ikyu will not be required to pass, do not be alarmed, but the puzzles and plot are really cool and the solutions aren't always obvious. Deponia The Complete Journey is one of best representatives in its genre. The only thing is, be prepared for the fact that localization killed a good half of the jokes, so if English permits, go through the original.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360, PS4, XBOX ONE

A fabulous cooperative puzzle-adventure game with not the most intricate plot, but a very powerful moral background. There are two brothers, whose mother died a long time ago, and then suddenly his father was very sick. He can only be saved by the sap of a huge tree that grows behind mountains, forests, fields and generally very far away. A strong and dramatic story that the creators managed to tell without using words (at least understandable to humans) at all.

There is no cooperative as such here: you will play as both brothers at the same time(prepare joysticks, it will be hard without them). At first, the brain will refuse to understand how this is at all possible, but over time it will get involved and even begin to enjoy such a process. The gameplay is original and intuitive: only two buttons for interacting with the outside world, and two sticks for controlling the brothers.

There is nothing here besides the main storyline, and it goes through quite quickly - in 4 hours. All scenes and tasks are very original and atmospheric, there are no repetitive mechanics, but there are gorgeous colorful landscapes. The story itself is cruel, bloody in places, but, most importantly, very magical and emotionally powerful.

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE

Online team shooter by Blizzard with fantasy art. In the future, the machines still rebelled, as the Terminator promised. But the Overwatch organization was able to overcome the rebellious robots. Everything calmed down, the guys from the organization ceased to be needed by humanity, because of which they were forced to go home. But after a few years, crime picked up steam, and Overwatch members had to re-team up and take up arms in order to save civilians.

Multiplayer Ideal raised to the absolute. From the experience of Team Fortress 2, which is played even after almost 10 years since its release, it is in principle obvious: team shooters live outside of time, like Tsoi, once they conquer their audience. Blizzard did not impose its game - the noise around her rose and did not subside from the first days of the beta release... And after the release, the servers, which were designed for something inhuman, fell. The stream of people wishing to play turned out to be more than this very "inhuman" one.

Overwatch is very different characters , each with its own history and skills, a bunch of arenas and modes(3 cards each). Persians do not need pumping or customization, everything is decided only by your personal skills- nothing extra. The gameplay is intuitive and straightforward, and due to the drawing, even your girlfriend will like it: it will stick to the monitor while you are doing the destruction.

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX ONE

The nuclear boom spawned the post-apocalypse. Only those who managed to get to the bunker survived. Everything is either half-destroyed or half-mutated. After 200 years, the hero gets out of the bunker and goes for a walk around the ruined world in search of his son, Sean the lamb.

Admittedly one of the most anticipated projects of 2015 rather successful than not. The locations are worked out, the enemies are very terrifying, the quests are interesting(although, in fairness, there is also a wild boredom like "but bring me this thing that lies quietly across the road"), the overall plot is gaining momentum, and in the end it turns out that the hero is involved in some wildest story. For fans of the original dilogy, it will cause pain and burning below the back, for everyone else it will be very playable.

Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE

Hipster Adventure Movie Quest, very cool interactive daily routine where you live the life of a student girl Max. At a critical moment, a gentle creature discovers the ability to rewind time and correct mistakes. At first, the skill is used mainly for everyday student trifles, but in the course of the action it turns out that the city of Max is in danger of an apocalypse, and it would be good to prevent it.

The game was released as a series, by episodes, and if the first parts are similar to a girl series with a teenage drama, then somewhere from the middle, the sufferers fade into the background, and the main thing becomes The Hell of the Twin Peaks Girl Disappearance. Every decision and action has its fruits. and sooner or later will surely come around. Included - cool soundtrack, well-developed detective plot, realism with a pleasant dose of mysticism... It is disappointing, however, that the final choice is the same for everyone and does not depend on your previous decisions.

Uncharted 4: A Thief "s End

Platforms: PS4

The main character Nathan and his wife bought a house, chose the curtains to match the color of the sofas, and happily live a quiet life until Nathan's older brother is announced, long years presumed dead. Oh yes: in the previous parts of the game, Nathan was a treasure hunter. Little has changed here: suddenly a living brother says that a treasure awaits in Madagascar, and the guys go in search of the mythical Libertalia.

Impossible beautiful exclusive for Sonya, which made a lot of hard-core PCs get a console. "The way of a thief" is elaborate third-person action game with puzzles, shootouts(weapons have increased in the arsenal, and the shootings are approaching the title of ideal), action scenes at the level of Hollywood action movies and the ability to choose answers in dialogues. But be prepared for a very poor Russian localization.

Need for Speed ​​(2015)

Platforms: PC, PS3, PS4, XBOX 360, XBOX ONE

There is no point in talking about the legendary Need races for Speed- they earned their name back in the distant two thousandth. This is not just a game, this is a real era. The 2015 restart has everything that the mutated series managed to lose in the last parts: both advanced car tuning and a brave new open world, and racing from the police.

At first it seems that the restart of the series is not an idea of ​​the creators, but of PR people who wanted more gold from an already obsolete product. But in fact, it turns out that the game of the 15th year has absorbed all the best from the previous parts, and the output is The very essence of Need for Speed... A must for anyone who has ever felt an adrenaline rush at the keyboard, joystick or real steering wheel.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX ONE

Welcome to the interactive Game of Thrones. You are a Dragonborn who comes to the province of Skyrim very conveniently just when you need him most. The world is facing death from dragons, and you have to overcome a bunch of difficulties to stop the fire breathers and their master Alduin.

The world is also infinitely open here, the player can do whatever he wants. The graphics are wildly beautiful and cause multiple aesthetic orgasms... A plus complete freedom of creativity: you can start a family, you can become a thief, a murderer, a noble knight - but at least a princess. There is spectacular battles, the ability to pump certain hits and skills... The plot is good because certain RPG engines generate their own stories that is original and addictive.

The most honest Skyrim trailer ever.

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360

Everything here is as gloomy as in horror stories about "black-black street in black-black city". People were mowed down by a disease that turns everyone into undead, and the main character goes on a long trip to restore the white balance and stop the impending Age of Darkness. And so you walk the world, completing quests and fighting enemy creatures.

It won't be fun here or just - only difficulty 180 leveled and fear, only hardcore... Remember "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" on Dandy, in which, dying, you found yourself at the very beginning? It's about the same, but lighter. Each creature taller than half a meter kills you in two spits, and each death throws back strongly, taking away the accumulated experience. But at least not to the beginning.

fosters character and works magic with nervous system , and against the backdrop of a clear trend towards simplification of games, delightful and especially valuable. Mandatory for those who really like to overcome difficulties.

Tomb Raider (2013)

Platforms: PC, MAC, PS3, XBOX 360

2013 Tomb Raider is a prequel to the very first game in the series. Here Lara famously transforms from an archaeological university graduate into a fierce sex symbol for all gamers. In the story, Lara and an expedition are looking for a lost civilization, but a terrible storm destroys the ship, and then throws all the survivors to the shore of the apparently uninhabited island.

When Crystal Dynamics announced that its plans - modernize the most famous game woman, the world held its breath: of course, restarts are a terrible thing. But in the end it turned out to be very good: a perfectly executed third-person combat system, pleasant gameplay and a realistic system for acquiring survival skills. Truth, brain-cracking puzzles have gone into oblivion for which old Lara was so famous. But this is offset by a large number of advantages - take at least good competitive multiplayer system and Lara's chest that retained its elasticity.

Killed joysticks Dandy and childhood will never let go, but time goes by. In recent years, Mortal has been gaining momentum and evolving, and in the top ten it is felt especially powerfully: bones crunch here louder than ever... For example, Sonya and Johnny Cage had children who inherited their parents' love for blood and also rip out the insides of everyone. For example, in the 10th part, you can destroy, kghm, the manhood of a father by the hands of his own daughter.

New Predator Heroes, as well as those who returned from vacation (for example, Tanya from part 4). All in all, ideal k-to-combos for fighting games. And the variety has increased: now each hero can be prioritized in battle... From controversial moments - an opportunity arose ... buy Fatality... The archaic keystroke system still works, but now you can get away with it simply by paying.

She's "Look Dog", "Watch Dogs" and how else this name just not joked around. A guy in a fashionable cap is engaged in magical hacking - he hacks the phones of rich and respected people "using bluetooth". At one party they fire him and start a chase, during which the hero's niece dies in an accident. And he decides to become an avenger.

Basic the plot is not that wow, not particularly memorable or stands out in some way... But there are funny dialogues and jokes, which smooths the situation. Full beauty and detail around, although there are problems with physics and textures... There will be many storyline Easter eggs hide and seek games, action games, shootouts, races and good assignments outside the main storyline.

True, we never understood how the doggies are connected with all this.

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360

First Person Adventure Shooter RPG Blend in which you play as a guy whose vacation went wrong. Jason Brodie (this is you, meet me) comes with friends to an exotic island, where they hang out, take off, take selfies, jump with parachutes, until one day they are captured by the sadistic pirates. Jason manages to escape, and he is eager to take revenge on a terrible revenge.

A cool open world with frighteningly realistic graphics and a plot from which there is no desire to break away... Players will need to storm pirate territories, hunt for all kinds of animals and evolve from a weakling into a tough guy who saved friends and matured during the time you spent with him. A special must for fans "Lost".

A shooter that captures the imagination and strikes it to the deepest wilderness... Private detective Booker receives an order: to get to the flying city, whose location is not really known, and to rescue the girl from there. Then it turns out that some kind of utter horror is going on in the world and a destructive war is about to break out.

Subject blanks are very classic- a princess in a tower, a hero with a dark past, the world is on the verge of disaster. But all this is summed up in such a way that the result is something completely new.... And although the world of the game is fictional, you still immerse yourself in it and believe: atmosphere and detail take their... Here, what's cool every little thing is important, but only. Spectacular fights, for real complicated story narrated in a movie-like shooter form.

Platforms: PC, PS4, XBOX 360, IOS

Something very terrible happened in the world: everything fell apart into small pieces, and the only place that survived is the Bastion. The blond guy, for whom you have to play, wakes up in an incomprehensible place and is going to go towards this very Bastion, where he learns that the fortress has been destroyed, and in order to restore it (and the world) and destroy the universal Evil, you will have to make a lot of efforts than you and get busy.

Very nice and detailed adventure game, in which it is far from immediately clear that WTF is happening here . You travel to different locations, fight with local bosses and difficulties, then move back to the Bastion, where you choose which weapon you will take and what potions you will throw before the trip. Closer to the middle, you are already taking shape choose the right equipment strategically, which adds a decent amount of advantages to the game.

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 460, PS4

Fantasy adventure, which at first glance looks very much like Bastion (the same developer, after all), but in fact is something completely different. You will have to play as the red-haired singer Red, whose life was recently attempted and who is determined to fiercely avenge it. On her side is a huge talking sword Transistor, in which the consciousness of an unknown person is placed, who saved Red's life.

Outwardly, everything is similar to Bastion: an action-RPG from a third person in which you have to travel through the most beautiful fantasy world, fight and do all sorts of small things. But game process since the first game the studio has become deeper, the story is more personal and the atmosphere is atmospheric. If you give free rein to whining, you can say about monotonous battles and a fairly short duration of the game.

Platforms: PC, PS3, XBOX 360

A high-quality puzzle experiment with fairly difficult puzzles- for logically thinking mazachists who like to test their intelligence and do not think of life without difficulties. The plot is simple: the main character, Chell, wakes up in one of the chambers of the highly scientific Aperture laboratory and makes an attempt to escape. She has a portal cannon at her disposal, with which you can move yourself and other objects.

At first it will not be very difficult, but this is only at the beginning.: further, even primitive things will become confusing, and an empty room will turn into a quest. Extremely good localization and a lot of high-quality humor... It is obliged to please those who love brainstorming and want to get maximum profit from games.

Admit it, once or twice you've shed a tear playing games. It's okay, we are all adults here, so you can cry. This is a sign of maturity!

For years, developers have tried to create games that would touch the strings of the soul of all gamers. Some emotions, such as joy, fear, and anger, are fairly easy to evoke with the right combination of environments and characters. But you know that good is the one that made the player experience intense and long-lasting sadness. Making a game that "makes the player cry" is what the developers have been trying to do for years.

Usually these attempts are terrible and insincere, but at times they are quite successful. We have collected games that have caused tears, sobbing or outright sobbing. So grab a box of tissues and get ready to let your emotions run wild. But keep in mind that you may stumble upon spoilers.

When you return home after studying abroad and expect to be greeted by your parents and younger sister, you find that they have mysteriously disappeared. It confuses you a little, not to mention that there is a storm raging outside, and your beloved family home seems to have secret passages that your little sister happily made hers.

At first it may seem like you're being told about the plot of a horror story, but the stories you uncover as you explore Gone Home are heartbreaking and sad. The wife is looking for an opportunity to trick a distant spouse (who is trying to come to terms with the fact that his science fiction may just be a pipe dream). Your father's latent injuries are likely related to the fact that he was abused by his uncle.

But most of the grief you will feel is that your little sister seemed to find the breakup with her friend too serious to handle. You read her diary entries and see how she loses her will to live - all this is a heavy burden falls on you. The ending will undoubtedly make you cry, but there will be different reasons for each.

None of the games Metal gear cannot be called life-affirming, but Metal Gear solid 3 is the only one that ends with your character saluting and shedding mean male tears over the grave of his mother / mentor / love interest. Creator Hideo Kojima raised questions of loyalty, nationality, and the futility of war in Metal Gear Solid 1 and 2, but decided to bring it to new level and in Snake Eater he began to fill up the protagonists with these questions.

These questions came up thanks to game bosses - unlike Foxhound and Dead Cell in the previous two games, there was no need for the Cobra squad to kill Snake. They weren't trying to take over the world or take revenge on a shady patriotic organization, they were just a bunch of old soldiers looking for someone worthy to end their struggle. Why not gain glory through a tough victory if your opponent wants to die, you don't think so?

The character's motivation is usually pretty trivial. You kill bad guys who are trying to take over the world, or you are trying to get revenge or save someone. In the Shadow of the Colossus It is not that simple. Plot details slowly loom throughout the game, revealing that a young man named Vander is working with a vile deity to bring his beloved back to life. According to God, this will be possible if Vander kills 16 colossi.

Over time, killing these mysterious titans begins to affect you. They don't bother anyone, go about their business, and then your punk kid jumps on their backs and hits them in the head until they die. They do not attack cities or kill people. They sleep as they have slept for millennia. Eventually, your search-and-kill instincts weaken, and you realize that Vander is not such a good guy, and not even a justified antihero. He is a grief-stricken child who made a terrible choice and now he must see it through to the end.

Brother and sister are hiding in a bomb shelter. You can see how the small handle is pressed against the glass from the outside as the bombs fall. You hear one of the bombs crashing down onto the roof and wake up in the mysterious world of Silence. The beginning is very heartbreaking because you couldn't have let that child into your sanctuary in this alternate dimension.

Small mention: in the previous game, if you were the ruler of Silence, it meant that you were close to death in real world... So imagine the feeling of dread gradually overtaking you as you realize that your little sister looks like the Queen of Silence. As you progress, you must choose between friends, leaving some behind, and even watch your trusty caterpillar pet sacrifice itself to save you. This is awful as hell.

In the end, you have to choose whether to stay in Silence with your brother, but die in the real world, or kill the Queen of Silence to return to your blasted city, knowing that you can wake up next to your dead brother. It's a tough choice, and whichever decision you make, you will shed waterfalls of tears (or at least you will have a huge lump in your throat).

Marcus Phoenix is ​​not the most interesting protagonist. His partner Dominic Santiago, on the other hand, is much more curious. He is a complex character, with motives that go beyond "kill all that Locust and maybe learn something about your father." You see, Dom is looking for his wife, Maria, who went missing on the Day of the Invasion. Throughout the first game (and part two), Dom seeks out information about Maria, occasionally gaining glimpses of hope by showing her photos to other survivors. And then ... he finds her.

You might say Gears of War is for fools. You might say this is a dumb game with a terrible storyline. Say what you want - it doesn't matter. The moment Dom finally finds Maria, who has turned into a tortured and empty shell, is so epic that we screamed. Dom's voice actor, Carlos Ferro, even acted out the scene with a thrilling costume to bring this moment of despair to life. And that was in Gears of War 2, so we were completely dumbfounded.

Nintendo hasn't provided any explanation for Mother 3's lack of worldwide release, but we feel like we know why this game was never officially translated into English: she's too sad. We assume that Nintendo simply had to abandon the translation after several months of work, because the translators, through tears, simply could not see the text. This is the most logical explanation.

Like Earthbound, the story is often chaotic, dumb and funny. But there is a small town in it, which is haunted by a series of unfortunate events: tragedy strikes a happy village along with a narrator pondering whether the city's residents have experienced sadness before. If the happy characters struggling with the death of their family members aren't enough to keep you mumbling in front of the screen, then the last few minutes have a chance to completely destroy you.

Most zombie games prefer bloody turmoil to psychological hardship, but The Walking Dead from Telltale - not the majority. The first season follows a man named Lee, a little girl Clementine, and the (usually short lived) survivors they meet while trying to escape the zombie apocalypse.

There are many stressful moments in the game, but small decisions leave their mark: how do you justify the actions taken in front of Clementine. Each time Lee explains why he left one of the survivors to die, and then a small window pops up ("Clementine will remember this"), it shows how your choices shape a person in their youth. Not the best feeling when the choice is to "live but hate yourself" or "die." Oh, is that all? Clementine isn't the only one who will remember this. Perhaps she will cry even less than we do.

Great if you haven't played Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. After all, the game was released primarily on the Wii, so it didn't create such a buzz. However, if you missed it, then consider that you missed the best Silent Hill of all years. And at the same time, you have missed the opportunity to cry excitedly. Because the game will make you cry as well as tremble with fear.

The funny thing is, you may not even understand why you are so sad until you get to the end of the game, but even that is not the most depressing. After all, then, when you go through the game, and start remembering the events that happened, you will complete the puzzle to the end, and your world will fall apart. You remember the end of The Sixth Sense, right? It's kind of like that, however, you also find that you were a terrible father.

In fact, death is not the worst thing in a video game, especially in an RPG. Hell, characters die in almost every battle and just come back to life using a cheap item. So death doesn't matter. Just pop Phoenix Down in your mouth before rigor mortis begins and the heroes will be back on their feet after a few seconds.

People probably screamed when Iris died in Final Fantasy 7, but for some reason, she couldn't be resurrected. Perhaps Sephiroth's blade is too sharp or something. Whatever it was, she died and remained dead. We couldn't believe our eyes. She'll be back later, right? Krono returned to Chrono trigger(unless you, the monster, save him) so of course she couldn't die? Yes. But she died. And our hearts were broken.

Millennial Kaim suffers from amnesia. It seems that the lack of memories is a curse, but after playing Lost Odyssey for several hours, we were convinced that Kaim had better not remember his past. Throughout the game, he will sometimes recall the events of his life, which will be played on the screen as short text stories with sound effects.

And these memories are truly terrifying. There are dozens of such forgotten memories, and we eventually had to stop reading them. Some talk about lost love, some talk about forgotten friends. Others are just depressing. And even if you avoid those disastrously dark memories, the story itself is just as cruel. At some point, you help the children collect flowers for their sick mother, and then when you bring them to her, she dies, and you stand there awkwardly, watching the children cry. That's what's going on there.

Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons is a story about a teenage boy and his younger brother who embark on a journey through a fantasy world to find a cure for their sick father. Although, in fact, this story is about losing, overcoming and growing up. The game begins at the boys' mother's grave - her death in the water, witnessed by her younger brother, happened due to the fact that he could not swim. But this is only one of the few difficulties that the brothers must overcome together.

Together they must step over obstacles and outwit enemies, and the player must guide the brothers together with each of the controller buttons. This mechanic stops working in the bitter final scene, from detailed description which we will abstain. Suffice it to say that she made us tremble and ... cry. Terribly hard.

Yes, yes, you are a mischievous child, and you suddenly wreak havoc by playing with ancient artifacts. Yes, yes, it turns out that you are the chosen one and must save the world. Yes, yes, your adventure to save the Earth is inextricably linked to the destruction of your world and your identity. Wait, are you serious?

Terranigma looks like a garden variety of action RPG for the SNES, but its storyline is unique and harrowing. The protagonist Ark must destroy everything that is dear to him in his home underworld (even the girl he is in love with, damn it), in an attempt to bring the Earth back to life after ancient peace. Halfway through, he learns that his whole life was part of the evil creature's great plan. Maybe after his complete destruction, he will be reborn anew in the world that he helped create? Or maybe he just disappears into oblivion. Anyway, Ark's life sucks.

Well, being anything other than the main character in Halo is deadly. Almost everyone the Master Chief interacts with will end up exploding or transforming into creepy creatures. But Halo Reach really hit the jackpot by introducing a whole new squad of super soldiers and killing them one by one.

Of course, players who were familiar with Rich's story should have expected a happy ending. But seeing nearly all of your friends die in front of you as humanity grapples with the real threat of extinction is horrible, especially knowing that this was Bungie's last contribution to the Halo franchise. If it weren't for all this heavy talk of sacrifice and courage that weaves into the narrative, Reach would probably be the saddest big-budget shooter ever made.

Like a sip of coffee after a lollipop, to The Moon is very bitter. The game tells the story of a dying man who has hired a pair of doctors who can create artificial memories to fulfill his last wish: to go to the moon. The only problem is that he doesn't know why he wants to go there.

Then the doctors must rewind his memories back in chronological order, in an attempt to discover the reason for his fascination with the moon. As they explore, they will see moments of silly joy and quiet sadness. There are no threats to the world here, just embarrassing failures or disappointments with a wife. Despite the 16-bit graphics and sci-fi premise, almost everything here is completely ordinary, but rewound and accompanied by a fading ECG sound, so your eyes will be in a wet place at the end.

The plot in games is needed in order for the gameplay to capture the player. Moreover, if there are cartoons, TV series, books, then it should include characters from all TV series and books a little. Otherwise, fans may not like the fact that the same characters and missions are constantly featured. The game will lose rating and audience.

If it is new, then it should contain a logical plot. The developers must come up with a world for toys, heroes, the development of which will include a deep storyline, otherwise it will be very difficult for the players to be interested. Let's take a look at the best games with an interesting storyline. So let's start our top story games.

The best PC games with a good storyline

Metal gear solid

This series of games is considered the most difficult and interesting of all the existing ones. It is not for nothing that she is in the first place. The plot ideally combines both fantasy and realism. In each series, game templates borrowed from others are torn apart here. Metal Gear Solid became famous for its dramatic plot, film performances, extraordinary characters.

It contains vampires, ghosts, and the rest of the evil. Besides there are references to the war in Ossetia. Although Metal Gear Solid has some animeness, it still differs from all the others in its variety and originality.

Witcher

The witcher became truly cult game... CD Project has proven itself well. Series of games won thousands of awards, as well as the title of "Game of the Year". The Witcher contains an intriguing narrative, one of the best plots, a varied landscape, where the character goes through missions one after another.

The Witcher is a thoughtful, entertaining and awe-inspiring game. Her features a comprehensive character development, various equipment. And the improved interface, the presence of unexpected side quests make The Witcher unforgettable.

Assassin's Creed

Assassin's Creed is a strong addictive toy. Especially suitable for stealth lovers - for those who like to do everything quietly and unnoticed... The plot allows you to quickly switch between protagonists. GTA is famous for this approach, but more on it later. You can travel around the world in Assassin's Creed using crews, in which the character the player plays for can ride as a driver or as a passenger.

Weapon there is a taste and color for any player. There are brass knuckles, revolvers, reed swords, kukri knives and much more. Of the minuses - no multiplayer mode in the "Syndicate" part. This is done to make the map look "live".

Mass effect

Mass Effect brought the best sci-fi storyline ever. The universe is very well worked out in it, the characters are bright and do not at all look like computer models. The scale is striking to the eyes and is very similar to the scale of the universe. Star Wars... The creators of The Witcher borrowed a lot from this game for the development of videos.

Mass Effect is considered the best of all the games that existed before it and is worthy of being considered a classic of the genre. Among the features it is worth highlighting the possibility of transferring saves from part to part. In this case, all the current parameters of the main character will be transferred. Thus you can create a character in the first Mass Effect and play all the parts with it, while not only the characteristics will be available in subsequent series, but also the perfect choice in the previous parts will affect the subsequent plot.

Half-life 2

V Half life 2 at that time, an unprecedented interaction level character with the outside world. Initially, Half life 2 was supposed to be dark. But since almost half of the plot was leaked before the game was created, the developers had to change it. However, it got even better.

This is a first person shooter. A large number of weapons just pleases the soul of the player. Various puzzles, when solving which the player uses the physics engine. The plot is linear - the main character must save the captive Alex, but at the same time it is very thoughtful, deep and interesting.

Kingdom Come: Deliverance

Kingdom is a realistic action RPG universe. The player is presented with a large open world. Kingdom Cam is set in the medieval years. The protagonist's parents are killed, and he is sent to avenge them. In this game you have to pay particular attention to your hero, since the clothes wear out, get dirty in dirt and blood, and the hero gets tired, requires food and drink, which you still have to get yourself or steal. Saving occurs only after sleep. You need to pump skills, as well as monitor relationships with other characters, since every decision you make affects the passage... Realistic combat - shooting without a target, by eye, sword fighting, like live.

Bioshock

Bioshock is a hardcore shooter with superbly rendered huge world... It has multiplayer mode with three worlds, and no less interesting Single player game... A bunch of various enemies of varying complexity. Autosave works. To fight the enemies here can be used both magic and conventional weapons. And for those who like to explore every corner of the world, the addictive game rewards generously with coins or useful loot.

Planescape: Torment

PlaneScape Torment is focused on finding yourself here. Here the emphasis is on communication with the characters, storylines and atmosphere, rather than on the battles. Computer role-playing game... home goal of the game: Find out the origin of the protagonist. The trick is that after each death, the hero forgets everything that happened to him, but constantly experiences deja vu.

Spec Ops: The Line

An excellent shooter that can be completed in one go. But there are also moments in which you want to take a break in order to be sad, since the game is very strong conveys the mood... Developed in the genre of action, third person. At first glance, an ordinary shooter in the Far East turns into an exploration of human nature and cruelty. High complexity. There are flaws in the form outdated gaming process that does not interfere with enjoying the indescribable atmosphere. There is multiplayer, but it is geared towards single player mode.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

Helheim is made in the genre of action adventure. The plot begins with the main character goes to the underworld Helheim to bring his lover back to life. But on the way to him, she is overcome by other people's voices in her head, driving her crazy. In this case, the gameplay is divided into two parts: solving puzzles and monotonous battles.

Gta 4

GTA 4 will send you into the world of gangster action. In addition, here any gamer can find a hobby to their liking. Someone just will explore neighborhoods city, rob banks, and the other to help NPCs. GTA 4 offers excellent detail cities, gorgeous soundtrack, excellent physics and unlimited possibilities. The trick is in the ambiguous exciting plot and scenario. And main feature is that any action in this virtual world, will respond in the future and return like a boomerang at the most inopportune moment, as in real life.

Dragon age

Dragon age- a world for adults that will capture you and will not let you go until you pass it to the final. A cool plot revolves around the Gray Wardens, who can turn anyone into a demon. Before you start, you must choose the race for which you will play. There are several of them - a man, a gnome, an elf, and classes - a warrior, a robber or a magician.

The plot has a double bottom - all committed actions may affect on the outcome of the fate of your character in the future. You exterminate monsters, communicate, perform tasks offered to you. Something similar to The Witcher. Dragon Age is hard to master the first time around. But if you start playing it, then it is worth the time spent.

Mafia 2

The first thing that catches your eye when you start playing Mafia 2 is the smartly made cars. There is one trick - the player is obliged to collect the playboy magazine of those years in question.

Here you will not be able to peacefully exist and spend time, as can be done in toys, where the character is an elf or a dwarf. The plot of the mafia makes you get involved in it immediately and is full of violent emotions and unexpected turns... The cozy atmosphere of the mafia disposes to play it for hours, and excellent graphics only improve this positive property. The only problem that in comparison with the first part - nothing new has appeared in it.

The last of us

The last of Us is a world in which you need to stay alive. Mushroom spores are destroying humanity, and now your character has to survive in this terrible world and restore the faith in himself to the few remaining people. However, the latter do not want this and try to survive as best they can.

The plot is quite logical and calm, without any ridiculous appearance of enemies, pathos or any omissions. The last of Us is for those who do not like shooters, but love to survive with improvised means. It is necessary here look for supplies, weapons, first aid kits in order to survive. There are a lot of locations, and the character dies from just two shots. And if you're lucky. Sometimes from one.

Everything that the character goes through, the gamer experiences with him, the plot is so realistic. It can definitely be recommended for all gamers to pass.

Fahrenheit

The plot is linear, but there are several endings. All dialogues are constructed in a very interesting way and the illusion of nonlinearity is created. If you want to play it, then it would be better to sit down and not be distracted by anything else. Good spelled out and thought out some moves of the storyline. Let's say the police arrived at the hotel for the main character. The screen is divided into three sections. In the first two, the main character and the police are sneaking up to his number. On the third, the priest who needs to be called. Nowhere to run. The main character must run up to the phone, and you will already play as a priest and decide what to do. This is the trick of the game.

Even those who do not like to go through quests play it.

Alan wake

The story of a writer who got lost inside his own novel, going out in search of his wife. He lost her when he went on vacation with her to the lake. This is a deep plot around which events will develop.

Each part of the character learns to handle new types of weapons. Alan wake presented to gamers very competently, even though it has only three locations. The player needs to study them inside and out. This is a shooter with many zombies, despite this it is attractive in its own way.

Heavy rain

This is a quest with a completely non-linear storyline. The quest features a maniac, a kidnapped boy and many people. They are all trying to find the kidnapped boy. Depends on the player actions of people and the course of the game, respectively. A great plot is like a theater in which a protracted performance is staged. The ending is entirely up to you.

Heavy Rain will delight you with its beauty and manufacturability, as well as high-quality traced characters. The trick is that it is oversaturated with details, but this makes it even more tempting, making you want to go through it to the end.

The walking dead 2

The walking Dead immediately throws you on a rainy day for heroes. For in the very first minutes, the main characters die, which, it would seem, should have been played. A whole streak of failures begins. You can get one of several endings here. The authors decided not to repeat themselves, as in the first part and wrote the second according to a completely new scenario.

The trick is that the heroes at the moment look like petty and pitiful little people, but this makes them even more attractive. The only drawback is the drawing. The faces look like stone, although the game has a place for a tearful ending.

Fallout

The positive aspects of FallOut are that the player in any part of the series can influence the world, each subsequent part of the toy makes references to past episodes. Its plot develops in a post-apocalyptic world, where the main character is entrusted with a great mission to save humanity. The battles take place in the first two episodes in turn-based mode, in 3 and 4 there is already real-time. As in any toy about the post-apocalypse, you have to fight against the monsters that have appeared.

The role-playing system FallOut, quests and choices that are given to players - all this has a positive impact on the gamer. And also high-quality music and a beautiful soundtrack for the game will not leave anyone indifferent.

Dark souls

Dark Souls is hardcore. The trick is that it makes the player bang his head against the keyboard when the character he is playing for dies in one way or another. And there are a lot of deaths in it, in different shapes and sizes. Here he will have to move along the storyline himself and find the locations that are needed for the character, instead of the clues already placed, as in other games.

At first, the plot is indistinct and confusing, but then it takes on meaning. The player has freedom of action. By dying, the player is given the opportunity to continue to contemplate the location. Another of the chips is a variety of bosses and an atmospheric world.

The most important thing that attracts people to games is of course interesting story... And sometimes you just want to be able to worry and even cry thanks to a well-thought-out plot and well-chosen characters. It is about these games that will be discussed in this top. I tried to find the most Interesting games, with a gripping plot and touching moments from which you will surely want to cry. (Personally, my opinion, and it may not coincide with yours.)

Fifth Place: Life Is Strange

Oh, and a funny student life: fun, study, Good friends, malicious enemies. It is about all these things that the wonderful game in the interactive cinema genre - Life Is Strange - tells us. We play as the main character of the game - Max Caulfield, who is studying at the prestigious Blackwell Academy as a photographer, in the hometown of Arcadia Bay. But at some point her head is visited by a knowledge (similar to a dream) about an impending cataclysm, which will wipe out the entire town and its inhabitants from the face of the Earth. Waking up, Max finds herself in the lesson, where she is asked some questions and informed that she alone did not submit a photo to the competition. Later, the lesson ends, and our heroine goes to the toilet to wash, and already there, in the toilet, the main plot begins. After following the butterfly and turning around the corner of the booth, she notices that a guy entered the toilet, followed by a girl who were arguing loudly, and a guy who snatched a pistol and killed the girl. Here, our Max managed to prevent the tragedy with a movement of his hand by rewinding time (the main feature of the gameplay is to rewind time). I will not tell you about the most touching moments of the game, as it will be a spoiler, but you should know that there are a lot of them. The game is done on high level, and that's why she deserves the fifth place in our top.

Fourth Place: Ori and the Blind Forest

Incredibly beautiful and wonderfully fantastic platformer that will tell us about the life of the little Ori. The plot tells us about a fantastic magical forest in which a large number of incredible creatures live. Ori is the guardian spirit of the forest, who was miraculously thrown far from home. He was found by an incredibly kind and sweet creature named Naru, this semblance of a bear became native to Ori and replaced his family. So they lived together, until the moment dark spirit Kuro did not steal the vital energy of the tree of "Life", from which the forest began to rapidly rot, overgrow with thorns and devastate. After which Naru died, and Ori continued his journey. Soon when his life path came to an end, and he fell to the ground, he was resurrected by a nearby tree of "Spirits". Later, Ori meets the forest spirit Sein, who knows how to fix the situation in the forest, and Ori embarks with him on a magnificent journey to help the forest. The game is incredibly interesting, beautiful, wonderful music and a lot of touching moments. That is why Ori and the Blind Forest is in the fourth place of our top games that make you want to cry.

Third place: Walking Dead

A world full of zombies, dangers, unfriendly people ... And you are in this world. This is exactly the beginning of the exciting interactive series from Telltale Games. In the first part of the game, we have to play as a prisoner guy named Lee, who was on his way to court when the epidemic began. But during the trip, an accident occurred, after which he met the second main character of the game, a little girl named Clementine, who was left alone in this cruel world. And now our heroes have a task to survive and reach a place where our heroes can live peacefully. As the game progresses, our heroes meet new characters with whom they will have to interact and survive together. I must say right away that events will unfold rapidly, in the spirit of the works of J. Martin. A unique and original storyline, memorable characters - all this makes the Walking Dead game great and clearly deserves third place in our top.

Runner-up: The Last of Us

A calm, quiet evening, nothing foreshadowed trouble, when suddenly explosions began to occur throughout the city, and biological weapons created from mushroom spores were sprayed into the atmosphere. The main character, named Joel, had a very difficult life, he lost his wife, and soon, at the beginning of the infection, the military killed his daughter as well. When everything calmed down, Joel became a smuggler and met an incredibly brave and cheerful girl named Ellie. This teenage girl is the key to finding a vaccine against fungal infection. Incredible adventures filled with beautiful battles and dramatic moments await them. Due to its plot and dramatic inserts The game Last of Us is worthily occupying the second place of our top.

First Place: Valiant Hearts: The Great War

The First World War, what do you know about it from the lessons of history ?! And in this game they show what was really happening at that difficult time, those moments of experience, those emotions that covered people with their heads during certain events. Our story begins with a character named Emil. He, following his son-in-law, went to war in order to save him from hardships. As the game progresses, we will be introduced to a variety of characters: Emile Chaion, Karl, Walt, "Lucky" Freddie, Anna. Having felt all these heroes in the course of the game, you begin to empathize with them and understand their actions. But the most touching moment in this game is, of course, the finale (I won't talk about it, so as not to spoil it). For all its plot and touching finale, the game deserves its first place. Among all the games listed, it is this one that is recommended for immediate passage (which, by the way, can be viewed
