It is worth noting that most of of which is not singles, but in whole series.

Assassin's Creed

The Assassin's Creed series has been popular with PC users since 2008 (station gamers were able to appreciate its merits a year earlier).

Captain Shepard is ready for the mission

Characteristically, during the gameplay, you can perform missions that are not related to the main process.

And the main "trick" of the series is the ability to transfer saved files from one part to another (there are three of them today, the fourth is being prepared for release.

So Captain Shepard out mass effect 1 may well continue its work in the 2nd and then in the 3rd part, which, accordingly, has an impact on the development of the plot.

Overview of the game Mass Effect 3

That's it, end. The coming of the Reapers was inevitable, Captain Shepard knew that one day the day would come when the entire galaxy would tremble from the crushing blow of the ancient machines... And that day had come. Mass Effect 3 - the last chapter in Shepard's story, the long-awaited finale

Best games on PC with a good story: TOP-10

GTA

Speaking of story games, you can't help but notice the series grand theft Auto is about a criminal hero who works both for himself and for various groups in major American cities.

And the names settlements changed (except London and Manchester), but you can usually recognize the prototypes, for example, San Andreas is part of Los Angeles, and Vice City is Miami.

The game has complete freedom of action for the character - he can earn money relatively in safe ways(for example, delivering people), and performing tasks of the employer (most often dangerous), and even simply robbing passers-by and stealing cars.

In the latter case, however, sooner or later you will have to face the police - however, you can also try to deal with them (previously saving before that).

dragon age

Those wishing to get into medieval world, filled with political strife, wars and intrigues, it is not necessary to invent a time machine.

Simply download and install the game dragon age, which takes the player to a fantasy land with a real alternative history.

An exciting plot, in which you can even find a love line, and a huge number of options for its development allow you to spend on game process not a dozen hours.

It is noteworthy that the comrades-in-arms, who also have their own serious and developed abilities, help to complete the tasks.

Review of the game Dragon Age: Origins

Having played enough with fantastic universes in Star Wars Knight of the Old Republic and Mass Effect, the developers from BioWare decided to return to the roots at least for a while. Their Dragon Age: Origins was still at the development stage positioned as a computer RPG old school

Mafia

game project"Mafia" today consists of 3 parts.

This is quite enough to plunge first into the era of the United States of the 1930s, and then into the post-war years of the same country.

Playing as the main character, you can take part in the emergence of the first American mafia clans that developed during Prohibition, or help other modern, but sometimes quite noble criminals to carry out their activities in the late 1940s.

Unique story line and good graphics are the components of the popularity of this game.

Moreover, in the first part (released later with an addition that turns the world in modern) there is even a simulator of "free activity" called "Walk", where there is no plot.

Witcher

The work of the Polish science fiction writer Andrzej Sapkowski impressed millions of readers of the series of books about the witcher Geralt.

No less popular among gamers was the game created on the basis of a book plot, where the hero has to perform the usual witcher work - to destroy evil spirits, protect loved ones and even save the kingdom.

Interesting! The originality of the gameplay gives the presence love line, worked out much better than in most other series. In addition, as the game progresses, it is noticeable how aging main character, which is also unusual for RPG games.

This is not to say that games with a linear plot are bad. Of course, there are a lot of great games in the world that do not need a plot at all, and if there is one, it is deeply corridor. However, just as a big sausage sandwich is better than a small one, so is a non-linear plot better than a linear one, especially when it comes to some kind of role-playing project. If that's what you think too, then you'll be interested to know about the ten games that, in my opinion, had the most non-linear story.

A lot of people don't consider The Walking Dead to be a complete game. Say, a cartoon, some where the player sometimes needs to press one button. Of course, such a point of view also has the right to life, but as far as the plot is concerned, there is complete order with it. The player will be required to make a choice quite often. Sometimes ten times a minute, and sometimes once a minute. And, if at first everything goes more or less linearly, then when new characters are added to the story, the decisions made by the player will affect the plot more and more, and the moral pangs of choice will haunt the gamer constantly. Moreover, the scriptwriters use a rather familiar, but still effective technique, according to which they are first tied to some minor hero, or even several, and then offer to sacrifice one in order to save the other. In total, if my insanity does not change me, there are 3 endings in the game, among which there will be absolutely no good ones at all.

If it seemed to you that 3 endings are worthy, then there are 18 of them, and some of them are very, very difficult to achieve, and many, in despair, simply take them and watch them on the Internet. This is also not a game in the literal sense of an ordinary gamer, but a movie, but the movie is atmospheric, unusual, and, I must say, sad. The plot revolves around serial killer, who calls himself the Origami Master, whom the main characters catch, catch, but cannot catch in any way, and in some endings the killer remains at large, and playable characters end their lives very badly. Choices are required much more often here than in The Walking Dead, and if you like that, be sure to wait for a game called Detroit: Become Human. It's made by the same guys as Heavy Rain, who promise even more endings and even more branching.

Fallout 2 and 3.

To be honest, the plot of the third part didn’t seem to me, something out of the ordinary, so I immediately had a desire to put only part No. 2, but, knowing that young people associate Fallout not with isometrics, but with a first-person view, then the third part in the face of the same New Vegas I left - let it be. However, in Fallout 2, the plot is cooler. Here, almost every task can be completed in at least two ways. More often than not, there are more ways. You can pump for a long time, and then go to the final boss, or you can do it right away, without breaking anything at all, and kill him there without a single shot. True, if you do so, then in the final story about the fate of the cities in which the Chosen One was supposed to visit, nothing good awaits them - the cities. Any of your actions can affect the fate of entire settlements, and the hero will be able to remain in the memory of people with the same degree of probability as a good hero and an evil scoundrel. It all depends on personal preference here.

From this game, I personally managed to squeeze three endings, although they say that there is at least one more. These endings are diametrically opposed, ranging from defeating evil and ending with self-transformation into an evil demigod, who, while you watch the credits, will begin to destroy humanity. The game was made by the same citizens who worked on the first two parts of Fallout, which in itself is a sign of quality. As in Fallout, the main ramifications here will break off in the course of the dialogues: answered the wrong way and the wrong one - please take a different storyline. By the way, it was precisely because of the dialogues that many of those who enjoyed playing Fallout did not want to play this RPG, since there were too many of these dialogues, and there were too few battles, in the end it turned out something similar to a text novel .

Probably, in terms of the number of endings, this game is the record holder today. Moreover, some of the endings were many months after the release, and it cannot be ruled out that someday the developers will show us one or two more hidden, and no one has reached endings. And everything in the game would be very good if not for its absurd plot and surreal atmosphere. The protagonist wanders around the office, trying to understand what, in fact, is happening, and the voiceover communicates with him, telling him what to do and where to go. The nuance is that the order of actions, as well as their choice itself, is a personal matter for everyone, and it is not necessary to follow the instructions. But you can follow. For example, in one mission, the voice will suggest pressing three buttons in turn for two hours. And those who do not disobey, who do not think that the game is looped, will receive one of the rarest endings in the history of video games in general.

There are alternative endings and the opportunity to go differently in the first two parts, but the third is still cooler. If you do not take additions in the face of Stone Hearts and Blood and Wine, then in total there are 3 full-fledged finals in the game, as well as 36 states of the game world in all the regions Geralt has visited. Well, in the course of passing the players, more than 300 different main and secondary scenarios of various events await, starting with the most powerful quest with the Bloody Baron, and ending with correct execution, some small mission, where you need not just to report that the dwarf pharmacist was eaten by wolves, which will also be considered an accomplishment, but to find his body and find out that it was not the wolves who ate it, but local pensioners. I will not spoil, because the game is relatively new and big, so many people are playing it now, I will only say that, despite the generally positive atmosphere of this action, there are not just bad endings, but also very bad ones.

I do not presume to judge, but, in theory, the greatest non-linearity was traced precisely in the first part. Then the game did not yet look like a corridor shooter, and the developers were still trying to put it really unusual story, which can be played over and over again by trying different variants solutions. The exact number of endings could not be established. Basically, everyone comes to the first - the green ending, at the end of which Shepard remains alive. But in fact there are 3 more that are different, but not very much. You can destroy the Council, or leave, save the fleet or destroy. Also, the finale depends on who it is decided to appoint as consul. In general, this is a normal game with a solid plot, made at a time when developers were not yet completely lazy, and gamers were not considered full sheep.

Arcanum.

Here with non-linearity is also complete order. As in Fallout 2, almost every mission can be completed in different ways. For example, bandits don't let you on the bridge and demand money for the passage. You can kill them, you can complain about them to the constable, who, however, will only make things worse, you can pay them, or intimidate them, persuading them to let them pass for nothing. And so everywhere. After passing, each area that you happened to walk through will find its own fate - good or bad. For each of the options there will be 2-3 outcomes. Well, as for the hero, he can also end up in different ways. He can die, or he can become a god if he has a sufficiently developed communication skill. In general, in terms of non-linearity, the developers of Arcanum pulled out almost everything that could be pulled out at that time, and it is impossible to complain about the limitation of the choice of actions here.

Yes, that's Stalker. Many then can say, well, since Stalker, then let there be GTA 5 and Borderlands, but we are talking about non-linear games, and it is difficult to argue with the fact that the Shadow of Chernobyl is non-linear. The game is non-linear, if only because it has open world, and interactions with different characters can indeed be diametrically opposed. Well, there are alternative endings, of course. They are divided into two types: True and False. The first are positive, there are only two of them. The second ones are negative, there are five of them in total, and it must be said that it is sad, much easier to end the life of the protagonist. For example, if he has a lot of money in his pockets, the Monolith will punish him for being greedy, if the hero wants to destroy the Zone or humanity, the Monolith will punish him for cruelty, and so on. In general, the result is one of the most, if not the most non-linear first-person shooter.

Baldur's Gate and Dragon Age.

Well, and, of course, a classic. In the end, it was decided to stage two games at once, because it is impossible to decide which one is more deserved. Personally, I like Baldur's Gate more, but if we talk only about it, then they may ask - where is Icewind Dale? Then in general you have to remember all the classic, isometric fantasy of 20 years ago, which was much cooler than modern Pillars of Eternity or the hyped, but miserable Torment: Tides of Numenera. In both of these games, we managed a combat squad, solved problems, thought about how to act so that everything was fine, chose the lesser of evils, and sacrificed some kind of ally in order to achieve the goal. In general, just what many who want to spend time playing video games as interesting and varied as possible love.

The plot is the main component in games (which have at least some kind of plot). All the players who fell in love with game worlds for their thoughtful plot have long wanted to influence in some way, to do what they want, to turn where they want, to kill who they want. It is about such games that we will talk with you today. You can influence the plot in different ways, you can simply change the cosmetic part of the plot, change some points, and of course you can create a different, completely new ending to the game. All games on our list will have these qualities, or some of them. (This top is based on my personal opinion and may differ from yours.)

Fifth place: Fable Anniversary

Morning in the village, next to dad, mom and younger sister, it seemed that it could be better ?! But at some point, your village is attacked by hordes of bandits-robbers. You skillfully hide behind the fence and at the moment you notice that your village has flared up like " Christmas tree", the first thing the main character thought about was, of course, his family. In a swift impulse, our boy runs to his house and finds his father dead. After mourning his death, he notices that a bandit is rapidly rushing at him, and, pressing his head, expects death. But lo and behold, he is rescued by a local master hero, and takes him to the school of heroes, where our character will have to be reborn into a real hero of Albion. a game appears in which you can not only change the elements of the plot, you can also change the appearance of the hero depending on your actions (good and evil deeds), also your physique and beard will change depending on the choice of the hero class. will change public opinion(people will revere or fear). And finally before last assignment your appearance will change beyond recognition (horns, red aura, flies, glowing eyes or white hair, a halo over your head and Blue eyes). By the standards of the time period in which it was released, the game is very non-linear and therefore takes an honorable fifth place.

Fourth place: Dishonored

The country is affected by the plague, and you act as the main adviser and bodyguard of the queen and her daughter. Having sent you to other countries for help, the queen expected a more pleasant outcome of events, but nevertheless you were refused help, and with this you returned back to native city. After entering the harbor, you are met by the queen's daughter named Emily, who is glad to meet you again and offers to play. Soon you meet several representatives of official power and after, the queen herself. After giving her the letter, you notice that there are no nearby guards, and running people can be seen on the roofs of neighboring houses. Taking out your sword and pistol, you are trying to protect the queen, but alas, this does not work, the queen is killed, and the young princess is kidnapped. Soon, guards with influential officials come running to you and accuse you of murdering and kidnapping royals. In prison, you are tortured, and soon you receive a letter and a key to the cell, and try to break free in order to find the princess and help the rebels return her to power. The game is made in the genre of stealth action from the first person. You have an incredible number of opportunities to complete the game, almost every task will have two or more options for solving a problem. It is also possible to complete the game without killing anyone, which will affect the appearance of the city, and the inhabitants in general. For its non-linearity and the ability to complete the game without killing Dishonored gets fourth place.

Third place: The Walking Dead

The next place in the top 5 non-linear games belongs to The Walking Dead. The whole world is plunged into chaos, due to the sudden appearance of a zombie virus. And in it you play the role of an ordinary surviving guy named Lee, also next to you is a girl you saved named Clementine. Your main task will be to reach a safe place and, possibly, find the parents of a little girl. As the game progresses, other characters will join your group (Kenny, Katya, Duck, Carly, etc.). Each of the characters brings their own individual character to the game, makes us worry about him or, on the contrary, hate him. The choice in the game has to be made almost every minute, choosing the right dialogue options or doing the right things. Unfortunately, the whole choice put before the players will only affect individual cutscenes and the attitude of other characters towards you. The final can end with three possible outcomes, which will be expressed only in the form of a cutscene. Incredibly difficult decisions you will have to make during the game, kill or save, help or hurt, protect or insult, all this makes the non-linearity that we talked about earlier more interesting and more fun. Due to its general non-linearity and interesting variable plot, the game deserves the third place in our top.

Runner-up: The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The vast world of the kingdoms of the North, filled with monsters, and just bad people. In this world, there is a small group of people, changed by mutations, who call themselves witchers, and are created in order to fight incredible hordes of monsters. You play the role of Geralt of Rivia, a witcher of the "Wolf" school, one of the last witchers on earth. The main task of the third part of the game will be to find your adopted daughter Ciri, and save her from the clutches of the Wild Hunt. Your friends and others will help you with this. kind people. An incredible number of entertaining quests, and the same incredible variety of methods for completing these tasks. For example, let's look at one of the moments of the game, when you arrive in Velen, in order to find out from the locals about Ciri, in one tavern you meet a group of dirty bandits who, having entered the tavern, immediately turned their gaze against you, then you have a choice , kill, ignore or befriend them. Depending on your decision, both the ability to access the baron of those places and the opinion of people in Velen about you will change. Also, after making a decision in this task in favor of ignoring, you can hear the conversations of these bandits on the topic of robberies and violence, and even then change your mind and kill them. For the incredible non-linearity of both the main plot and additional missions, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt deserved to take second place in our top.

First Place: The Stanley Parable

The office is somewhere in the city center, or maybe not. Big company, maybe not. And a Stanley office worker who spent his whole life pushing buttons that popped up on his monitor. But at one fine moment, the commands stopped coming to his monitor, and the main character decided to find out what was really the matter. Leaving his office, he noticed that all the employees of his company had disappeared somewhere, and he was left alone. Then he decides to go in search of answers to his questions, guided or not guided by a voiceover that told him where to go and what to do. The value of this game lies in its unique non-linearity, you have a huge choice of what you want to do. You can listen to the announcer and go where he says, you can disobey him and go the other way, you can listen to him every other time, you can not listen at all, you can stand, you can turn back. And all this will lead you to one of several dozen finals of the game that will not be similar, and even surprise you with something. Because of this freedom of choice and non-linear plot The game Stanley Parable takes the honorable first place in our top. Or does it not take? You decide!

Well, that's all, I hope you agree with me about the games in this top. Good luck on the battlefield!!!

Wandering the Internet, I found on PlayGround.ru top 10 games with most captivating story. All this was carried out with the help of the voting of the site participants ...

P.S. I disagree with some places ... but alas.-_-

Endless rain, resounding blows on the water, a dark and confusing story with kidnappings, murders and sudden lapels-turns ... Well, how can you get past it? Quantic Dream always works out each dialogue for a very long time and carefully, calibrates every word in the angry tirade of villains and does it at a quite decent Hollywood level. "Heavy Rain" would make a great movie!

"Interactive drama", however, also turned out to be gorgeous. First, they draw us an almost perfect american dream- a big house, a well-paid job, happy family. And then they slam their face against the rough wall of reality, take away all the benefits of civilization and throw poor dad Ethan Mars to the very bottom of suffering and constant questions Why did everything go wrong?

Each scene with self-sacrifice is literally overflowing with the same “psychologism”, which more than once makes you feel empathy for, if not real, but convincing virtual actors. One cut off of a finger is worth something! Only for the sake of such "deep" and memorable moments is it worth playing "Heavy Rain".
