2015’s best video game stories: Life is Strange, Until Dawn, and more

2015 isn’t short of great and memorable video game stories, whether it’s playing the role of a detective and solving a murder, escaping the clutches of a serial killer, or battling your demons as a vigilante.

As games and their developers continue to mature, the importance of telling a great story alongside creating fun gameplay will keep rising. The days of only playing Super Mario-type platformers with minimal plots are long gone. We now expect well-written characters and interesting narratives, and for the most part this year, developers haven’t disappointed us.
