The Greatest Stories Ever Played: Video Games and the Evolution of Storytelling
Kuhusu kitabu hiki cha kusikiliza
We all know that video games are fun, but can a video game make you cry? Can it tell you a powerful love story? Can a video game make you think differently about war? About the environment? About the choices you make?
Whether it’s playing through blockbuster-esque adventures (Uncharted, God of War, The Last of Us), diving deep into hidden bits of story and lore (Red Dead Redemption II, BioShock, Journey) or building relationships that change the fate of the world itself (Persona 5, Undertale), video games are bringing stories to life in ways that are immediate, interactive, and immersive.
Focusing on some of the best, most memorable, experiences in gaming, The Greatest Stories Ever Played examines the relationship between gaming and storytelling in a new way.
