Ranking The Best Video Game Narratives of 2020 COGconnected’s Game of the Year Awards 2020: Best Narrative For most of us, we play video games to do escape the world for a brief time and find a way to experience the things we could never do in the real world. We race cars at break-neck speeds, battle aliens, or just have enough money to build a nice home and be financially secure. Games captivate and move us not only through their cinematic qualities and unique gameplay, but most importantly through their ability to tell a compelling story. Video games are an art form. Just like reading a book, a great narrative is one where you are engrossed in its world, completely lost to anything outside of the tale before you. There are countless games this year that told captivating tales, but only a handful delivered on a truly spectacular tale. Here are our nominees and winners for COGconnected’s Game of the Year Awards 2020: Best Narrative.
