Some of the Assassin's Creed games that are often considered high in terms of story are Assassin's Creed II. Ezio's story arc is very engaging, starting from his family's tragedy and his journey to become a master assassin. It has a rich historical backdrop set in Renaissance Italy.

Assassin's Creed games have a complex story timeline. It generally starts with Assassin's Creed Odyssey which is set in ancient Greece. Then comes Assassin's Creed Origins in ancient Egypt. After that, Assassin's Creed Valhalla takes place in the Viking era. These are some of the main games in the order of their story settings, which gradually move forward in time from the earlier historical periods to the more recent ones in the Assassin's Creed universe.

I would also put 'Pokemon Sun and Moon' high up. It had a very different and refreshing story. It focused on the Alola region's unique culture and the trials instead of the traditional gym battles. The story was more about the player's journey of discovery and friendship in this new region.

Well, for me, 'Final Fantasy IX' has a wonderful story. It takes us back to the roots of the series in some ways, with a more medieval - fantasy setting. The story of Zidane and his friends trying to save the world from an ancient evil is full of heart. Then there's 'Final Fantasy XIII'. While it got some mixed reviews, its story of Lightning and her fight against fate is quite interesting. And 'Final Fantasy IV' is a great one too. Cecil's journey from a dark knight to a paladin and his quest to save the world is a great narrative.

The AC games are sequenced in a way that often progresses through different historical periods. For example, Assassin's Creed Origins in ancient Egypt sets the stage for certain elements of the overarching story. Then Assassin's Creed Odyssey in Greece adds more to the mythology and Assassin - Templar conflict. And later games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla in the Viking age continue to develop the story with new characters and their own quests while still being part of the bigger story about the Assassins and Templars. It's like a long - running saga where each game is a chapter.

For 'Final Fantasy VI', the large ensemble cast is a huge highlight. Each character has their own arc that weaves into the overall story. The fall of the Magitek Empire and the rise of Kefka is a very dramatic part of the story. In 'Final Fantasy IV', Cecil's transformation is not only a gameplay mechanic but also a central part of the story. The different kingdoms and their politics add more layers to the narrative. 'Final Fantasy VIII' has the interesting concept of drawing magic from enemies, which is linked to the story. The relationship between Squall and Rinoa also has its own charm.

The story in AC Origins is centered around Bayek's fight against the Order of the Ancients in Egypt. It shows the birth of the Creed. In AC Odyssey, the story is more complex. Kassandra/Alexios' story involves not only their own family mystery but also the politics and power plays in different Greek city - states. Origins' story has a more somber and serious tone due to Bayek's personal losses. Odyssey's story can be more colorful and full of Greek mythology elements.

The main difference is the setting. Origins is in Egypt and Odyssey in Greece. This leads to different cultural elements in the stories. Origins' story is more about the origin of the Assassins. Odyssey is more about the hero's personal journey. Also, Origins has a more straightforward story arc compared to Odyssey which has more branching storylines.

One way is to look at the character development. In Halo: Reach, for example, we see the growth and sacrifice of the Noble Team members. Another aspect is the world - building. Halo games like Combat Evolved introduced us to the vast and complex Halo universe. Also, the plot twists matter. Halo 2 had some unexpected turns with the Arbiter's story.

In my opinion, Halo: Reach has a great story. It's a prequel that really sets the stage for the Halo universe. The story of Noble Team and their sacrifice is quite moving. Halo 3 also has a strong story as it ties up many of the plotlines from the previous games. And Halo: Combat Evolved started it all with an engaging story that introduced us to the Flood and the Covenant.
