Best Fantasy Games with a Story

The Best Fantasy Video Games with Awesome Stories

See the ranking

There are plenty of Fantasy and Science Fiction video games out there. Here is my list of the Best Fantasy Games ever. These games all range from first person shooters and adventure games to RPGs and cover PC, XBOX, XBOX 360, and Playstation systems.

I'm a huge fan of fantasy games, specifically, fantasy games that have a compelling story. If you are looking for “Gandalf with Guns,” look elsewhere. But if you want a fantastic, story-rich game that you can lose yourself in – much like a good fantasy novel – then here are my picks for the best RPG games with a good story.

Note, because these are a list of the best games with a solid STORY, there will be omissions of some of the more popular fantasy games such as

Morrowwind, Oblivious, Skyrim, Diablo's, Divine Divinity: Origin, etc.

While the games listed above are great video games, they are not rich in story, which is why they (and other games) are not included.
