What's the best story in current gaming 2018-current

[Neuromancer]

What would you say is the best story. It has to be the a game originally released in the time frame in the title. No remasters either.

What would you say it is?

The Last of Us: Part II

Easily. It also generated by far the most story discussion over any other game. Most debates, most discussion, most talk about character decisions and writing decisions. Love it or hate it, no story came close to inspiring more discourse in gaming.

Chained Echoes. For a game that mimics a JRPG it does very interesting things with its characters. Especially the main character. It really disregards tropes.

It’s either TLOU2 or Red Dead 2. Everyone else is still catching up.

 

[DaSk8D00D]

Not a linear story, but the sheer scope of writing in Baldur's Gate 3 and the number of possible scenarios you can experience won't be touched by any other game for a very long time

So is TLOU 2 better story wise than 1? Part 1 is still back logged

Hands down the best story Rockstar was cooking.
