Story Telling In Games

Borderlands - Borderlands is my favourite game of all time and it has been since the first game which was released in 2007. The second game was released in 2012 and the Pre-Sequel was released in 2014.
The story: (First game is set on a planet called Pandora. Second game is set on Pandora. Pre-Sequel is set on Elpis.)
(You can take the role of one of four characters: Lilith, Brick, Mordecai or Roland.) In the first game the story is that there is a legend called the Vault. It contains everything you could have ever wanted, making you rich instantly if you can obtain its valuables. You have to search Pandora for parts of the Vault key in order to open the Vault, whilst helping other people along the way. Goal: Get to the Vault and kill the Guardian that protects it to get rich.
(You can take the role of one of four characters: Salvador, Maya, Axton or Zer0.) In the second game, there is a man called Handsome Jack and he is trying to find the Vault. He has a company called Hyperion which is destroying the planet you are on, Pandora, in order to find this Vault. HJ quickly becomes your enemy and you have to try and stop him from tearing everything apart. Like the first game, you also have to find the Vault and obtain its valuables once again. You have to protect Angel throughout the game, she is Handsome Jack's daughter and she fears him.
(You can take the role of one of four characters: CL4PTR4P, Nisha, Athena or Wilhelm.) The Pre-sequel is set shortly after the first game where Hyperion's base, Helios, is currently being built. It is also set after Tales from the Borderlands Episode 3. You work for Handsome Jack and you have to help him obtain a Vault key and then go out and find the Vault yourself -Same as the two previous games.You alternate between the present and the past to try and put the missing pieces of the story together.
You can buy DLC for all the games to add more characters into the main story, and add additional information to the story.

Five Nights at Freddy's (There are four games)
You play a security guard in the first three games. You play a young child in the fourth game.
There are animatronics that people are having suspicions about. They move around at night and their main goal is to kill anyone who gets in their way of trying to escape. You're job is to survive six hours for seven nights, once it reaches 6am all of the animatronics will disable. They disable at this time because they know that there is no way they can escape in the daytime with all of the people who visit the pizzeria that they are currently at. Five nights at Freddy's has one of the most complicated story-lines I have ever seen. There is so much back-story to everything that happens. When you play the fourth game, you have to go through six nights in your bedroom, you are in a coma trying to recover from a bite that one of the animatronics caused in the pizzeria. The animatronics haunt your nightmares which you can't wake up from. In between each night you play as the child in the past going to the pizzeria everyday, this allows you to piece the story together further.
There are theories that everything in the four games is just a dream. The next game to be released is called 'Five nights at Freddy's world' which will be the fifth (and probably final) game in the series. The storyline is immersive and it makes you want to find out the truth behind everything that happens.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock
'Time-corridors' start to open up all over London. This connects Elizabethan, Victorian, modern day and future London. The two main characters: The Doctor and River Song have to investigate and close these corridors. They are attacked by Cybermen, Daleks, Silurians and the Silence as they try to save London.
The storyline is okay, but the gameplay itself could have been improved to make the story more immersive and more interesting.

Tales from the Borderlands
Tales from the Borderlands consists of five episodes, each released separately on different dates. You play as two characters, Rhys and Fiona. The goal is to find the Vault and get rid of Handsome Jack for good. Handsome Jack was killed in the original Borderlands games but came back in TFTB, he is now inside Rhys' head and Rhys is the only one who can see/hear him. You have to find something called the 'Gortys Project', this will help you find the Vault.

Until Dawn
Eight teenagers (you play all of them) go to a cabin and they are being hunted by a creature called a Wendigo. The goal is to survive the night on a mountain and wait for rescue in the morning.
There is also a 'murderer' on the mountain who you are trying to avoid as you search the mountains for any sign of help. Your choices have an impact on who lives and who dies throughout the game.
You visit the cabin in memory of two friends you have lost.

Life is Strange
You play a girl called Max who has the power to go back in time. You have to find out what happened to a girl called Rachel Amber, she went missing and no-one seems to know why.
Max has to use her powers to save her friends if they get into any trouble, Only one other person knows about Max's powers: Chloe,
You also have to stop a tornado from destroying the town by using your powers.

Stories within films tend to be more immersive than ones in games. The stories in films are more thought out compared to games. However, writers have to make stories in games interesting in order to keep them entertained. Same goes for films.
