Please can you recommend me a great story based game without loads of empty space.

Hey!

I just finished playing Clair Obscur and loved it.

I also really enjoyed Baldur’s Gate 3, the Phoenix Wright series, Mass Effect, Dragonage: Origins, Persona 5, The World Ends With You, Paper Mario: TTYD, Disco Elysium and more I can’t think of at the top of my head.

Essentially I like games with characters you grow to love, a strong narrative, humour or meaning and that don’t waste your time.

I don’t love games with giant open worlds or meaningless side quests, so for example Skyrim has never been for me due to the former and I didn’t like Dragonage Inquisition due to the latter. I’m also not a Zelda fan. I tried Paradise Killer which would usually be my kinda thing but I also really struggle when the game doesn’t really point out where to go at all. I need some direction!

I also like games with some good female characters! They don’t have to be the protagonist, but I really liked Clair Obscur and BG3 for these reasons.

Thank you so much. :)
