Best Lore-Rich games on PC
These games place substantial fictional history, characters, and setting details around their main action. They span shooters, online RPGs, open-world adventures, Souls-like games, and turn-based combat, so the tag describes depth of worldbuilding rather than one gameplay style.
- Extensive setting and backstory
- Story connected to worldbuilding
- Mostly action-oriented gameplay
