Top 10 Games: Drama
The highest-graded drama games we have reviewed, best first.
Fire Emblem: Fortune's WeaveFour campaigns, one autosaved file, and the best Fire Emblem since Three Houses by a comfortable distance.Read the review
Like a Dragon: Infinite WealthTwo men in their fifties in Hawaii, one of them dying, in a turn based comedy that keeps turning into the saddest thing the series has made.
Metaphor: ReFantazioAtlus takes the calendar and the social links out of high school and hands them to a fantasy election, which turns out to be a better fit.
What Remains of Edith FinchA house full of sealed bedrooms where each death gets its own genre, and one of them is the best scene in the medium.
Yakuza 0A bubble era crime tragedy that will pause its own funeral to make you manage a cabaret club, and both halves work.
A Plague Tale: InnocenceTwo children crossing a plague ridden France with a sea of rats behind them, in a game that hits far above its budget and never varies its verbs.
Hellblade: Senua's SacrificeBinaural voices circling your head make a stronger case for headphones than any game before it, and the swordplay makes none at all.
Mass Effect 3The finest hours BioWare ever wrote sit twenty hours before an ending that answered a trilogy of choices with three coloured lights.
Detroit: Become HumanQuantic Dream's most ambitious branching drama, gorgeous and genuinely reactive, even when its android rights allegory swings a sledgehammer
MixtapeThe best written release of the year so far and barely a game at all, which is the whole argument about it in one line.
