Best Story Games PS5

Great gameplay is important, but a game with an amazing story? That’s what sticks with you long after you’ve put the controller down. If you’re looking for games that deliver unforgettable story, deep characters, and emotional rollercoasters, you’re in the right place. Here are some of the best story games ps5 you can play right now.

| God of War Ragnarok

If you played the 2018 God of War, you already know how incredible this series is. Ragnarök takes everything to the next level—more gods, more drama, and even deeper storytelling. The story of Kratos and Atreus continues from where it left in part one. Watching Kratos and Atreus navigate their complicated father-son relationship while facing the literal end of the world? Absolutely top-tier storytelling. Plus, the combat is ridiculously fun.

| The Last of Us Part I & II (Remastered)

This series is the definition of emotional storytelling in gaming. Part I tells the unforgettable story of Joel and Ellie, while Part II takes you on a much darker, more complex journey. This is one of those game that you don’t wanna miss out. The story picks up in part 2 and the narrative definetely brings justice to characters. Both games are packed with moments that’ll hit you right in the feels. The PS5 remasters make them even better, with stunning visuals and smoother gameplay. If you haven’t played them yet, you’re seriously missing out.

| Baldur’s Gate 3

This game? Pure storytelling magic. Every decision you make changes the world around you, and the characters feel so real it’s almost scary. It’s like playing through a Dungeons & Dragons campaign where you control the story. Whether you’re making morally questionable choices or romancing a vampire (because why not?), this game makes every moment feel personal.

| Life is Strange (Series)

If you love games that feel like interactive movies, Life is Strange is a must-play. These games aren’t about combat; they’re about choices, emotions, and some seriously deep storytelling. Whether it’s time travel (Life is Strange), a journey of brotherhood (Life is Strange 2), or feeling people’s emotions (True Colors), every game in the series will leave you thinking about it long after the credits roll.

| Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2

If you’re into medieval RPGs that feel real, this one’s for you. The first Kingdom Come was a deep, immersive game that didn’t hold your hand—it made you earn every bit of progress. With Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 on the way, it’s shaping up to be an even bigger and better experience. If you want a rich, historical story with meaningful choices, keep an eye on this one.

| Shadow of the Colossus (Remake)

This is one of those games that proves you don’t need tons of dialogue to tell an emotional story. It’s quiet, haunting, and absolutely beautiful. You play as a lone warrior taking down massive creatures to save someone you love, but the more you play, the more you start questioning everything. The PS5 remake makes it look better than ever, but the heart of the story remains just as powerful.

| Persona 5 Royal

If you love story-driven RPGs with deep characters and choices that matter, Persona 5 Royal is a must. You’re balancing school life, friendships, and secretly being a Phantom Thief who takes down corrupt adults in a supernatural world. It sounds wild—and it is, the gameplay is absolute fun and it’s also one of the best narrative-driven experiences you can play. Plus, the style and music? Absolute perfection.

| Ghost of Tsushima (Director’s Cut)

You ever play a game that just gets you? That’s Ghost of Tsushima. It’s the ultimate samurai fantasy—cinematic, emotional, and packed with moments that’ll make you stop and admire the beauty of feudal Japan. You play as Jin Sakai, a warrior forced to decide between honor and survival. Stick to the samurai code and fight with dignity, or embrace the shadows and fight dirty? That’s the core of the story, and man, it hits hard.

But beyond the deep narrative, the game just feels good. Riding your horse through fields of golden leaves, dueling enemies under cherry blossom trees, or just following the wind (literally—there’s no waypoint system, just the wind guiding you). It’s one of those games that pulls you in and doesn’t let go. And with the Director’s Cut adding the Iki Island expansion, there’s even more samurai goodness to experience.

And there you have it—some of the best story games PS5 that you need to play. Whether you’re into emotional drama, big RPG adventures, or quiet, thought-provoking stories, there’s something on this list for you.
