One that shouldn't be overlooked is 'Advance Wars'. The story might seem simple at first, but as you get into the game, you realize how it ties into the strategic battles. You have different commanders with their own motives and the story of the war between the Orange Star, Blue Moon, and other nations is quite interesting. And of course, 'Pokémon Emerald' has a lovely story with lots of heart, especially when it comes to the bond between the trainer and their Pokémon.
One great example is 'The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap'. It has an engaging story where Link shrinks down to the size of a Minish to save Princess Zelda. The adventure involves exploring a detailed world filled with unique characters and quests.
A really good one is 'Pokémon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald'. The story of becoming a Pokémon master, stopping Team Magma/Aqua from their evil plans, and exploring the Hoenn region is full of charm. There are also the relationships between your Pokémon and the other characters. 'Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga' is also great. The story of Mario and Luigi going on an adventure to save Princess Peach's voice from the evil Cackletta is hilarious and full of fun gameplay elements related to the story.
Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald. The Pokemon series always has a good story. In these versions, you start your journey as a Pokemon trainer in the Hoenn region, aiming to become the champion. Along the way, you encounter different Pokemon species, battle against Team Aqua or Team Magma, and uncover secrets about the region's legendaries.
Red Dead Redemption. While it's an open - world western game, the main story is excellent. You play as John Marston, a former outlaw trying to redeem himself. The story takes you through the wild west, with memorable characters, shootouts, and a great exploration of the era's values and the concept of redemption.
Metroid II: Return of Samus. The story follows Samus as she hunts down the Metroids on their home planet. It's a story of survival and exploration in a hostile alien environment. The isolation of Samus and the sense of danger add depth to the story.
One popular 'gameboy advance visual novel' is 'Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney'. It features engaging courtroom battles and a great storyline. Another is 'Hotel Dusk: Room 215' which has a unique mystery - solving element with its noir - like atmosphere.
Uncharted: Golden Abyss. It's part of the popular Uncharted series. The story is full of adventure, with Nathan Drake exploring ancient ruins, facing dangerous enemies, and uncovering secrets. It has the typical Uncharted charm with great writing and exciting plot developments.
I would say 'The Outer Worlds'. It has a great story with a lot of humor. You're in a corporate - controlled future and your choices matter a great deal. 'Assassin's Creed Odyssey' is also good. It's set in ancient Greece and the story of your character's journey, whether you choose Alexios or Kassandra, is full of historical events and personal vendettas. 'Control' has an interesting and mysterious story about a secret organization and a strange building with otherworldly powers.
Team Fortress 2 has a great story. Although it may not be as straightforward as some other games, the backstories of the different classes and the ongoing conflict between the two teams are really interesting. The comics and the in - game hints all contribute to building a unique and humorous story world.
I'd recommend 'The World Ends with You'. It has a unique and captivating story set in modern - day Shibuya. The concept of the Reapers' Game and the character development are really interesting.
