When I think about narrative-driven games, my mind immediately drifts to Life is Strange, which just so happens to be one of my favourite ever video game franchises. There are many reasons for this. The stories in each game are incredibly well written. They grip you, and seep so deep that you’ve no choice but to feel exactly how the developers want you to feel. Furthermore, these games aren’t all sad. There’s actually a lot of cheer, fun, and joyous moments too.
Unsurprisingly, Dontnod and Deck Nine have set a high bar for narrative-driven adventure games, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t plenty out there that aren’t worth your attention. So, we’ve taken it upon ourselves to go out there and find the best games like Life is Strange on Nintendo Switch and mobile – we promise, these are hella awesome.
However, if you’re after something a little less heavy on your emotions, our picks for the best games like Dark Souls, or the best games like Skyrim, is worth checking out.
