The Best Video Game Monologues

In a world where human death was catastrophic, it felt odd to have literal killers, and even more so that Sam could use actual guns to kill them. Combat was never where the game shined, but rather in the rare moments you did have human interactions. Seeing porters and trading valuable gear felt much more impactful than gunning down Mules. For the sequel, it could be great to expand this, letting you see people out and connecting again, free from the desolation of the origi


Thanks to his career renaissance as the titular character in the John Wick film series, Keanu Reeves has never been more beloved. He recently appeared in the highly-anticipated yet divisive Cyberpunk 2077 as the charismatic Johnny Silverhand, and fans widely praised his performance despite being disappointed with the game as a finished prod

However, this is because they are twins, and connected in more ways than their physical appearance. Lockne and Mama become one, sharing a mind and b


Most of the fear aspect in Chernobylite comes from the environment, which is bleak, ruined, and for the most part, dark and foreboding. When a player enters a building, they've got no idea what awaits them inside, and it could be anything from a heart-stopping jumpscare to a genuine, mutated threat. It's a game that gets progressively terrifying as time goes on, and by the end of Chernobylite , players are fighting for their very li


In the original, you have access to a variety of bikes and trucks (and a makeshift hoverboard, if you want to count that). The sequel promises to be even larger, and the vehicles should match. The sequel should let you drive those freighter trucks only seen in cutscenes and give you boats to cross bodies of water. Even short-range air transport could work for reaching those more difficult areas ahem the First Prep


Video games have also showcased some incredible and iconic story points and climaxes. From multiple perspectives regarding topics about life, death, the human condition, and godhood, there have been several video games that feature some incredible monologues, all thanks to superb writing, direction, and top-notch acting. These particular video game monologues can come across differently depending on the game. Some are cinematic and are akin to films whilst others are addressed directly to the player and can even be interactive, creating an experience that is truly unlike any ot


Early in Death Stranding, you'll come across a group called Mules. Much like the animals they're named after, they'll carry anything left with them, even if it isn't actually theirs. They're not killers, but they're obsessed with the serotonin boost they get from deliveries. Then there are the literal extinction terrorists who, yes, do want to actually kill


Fallout: New Vegas has one of the most memorable openings in gaming history, showing players a glimpse of New Vegas and how the in-game world has evolved since the advent of the NCR and Caesar's Legion.

Most of this was seen in the ladders and climbing ropes people left behind, or the Timefall Shelters and zip lines. One of the most impressive, though, were the dirt paths players made by all walking the same trails. More of this could be amazing in the sequel, seeing players terraform the environment even more with the simple act of existing in the world. It feels like the perfect step to show how people leave their mark on the world, thematica

The game's story has been likened to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, even though the pandemic's effects weren't fully felt until months after its release. Protagonist Sam Bridges, portrayed by Norman Reedus , works as a "porter" who delivers goods and services to Americans, in particular connecting them via new networking technology.
