Which is why I've cultivated a list of video games with little to no combat, perfect for anyone wary of the video gaming medium who just want to experience storytelling in a new way.Įach game listed below is regarded for one of two things - it's storytelling capabilities or its ability to play with the video gaming medium. The idea of committing hours to a story filled with activities they aren't interested in is understandably unappealing and for that reason the initial rejection of the video game medium makes sense. Just like with books, movies and plays, everyone has their favorite genre. For that reason, the people who say that video games "aren't for them," likely have only encountered one version of video gaming that really doesn't appeal to them - the game with battle and strategy and everything in between. However, just because these assets can enrich and deepen a game, doesn't mean it's for everyone. At first combat and other tactics can seem distracting, but they exist just as much as an immersive factor as anything else in a story would. The more video games you play that involve these assets, the more you'll understand how seamlessly they blend into a narrative and how they make the medium something completely separate from the other ones storytellers are used to.
