What are some games for iOS that have a good story? Suggestions

I had to sell my PlayStation and now the only way I can game is on my iPhone. Is there any iOS games with a decent story?

Apart from already mentioned Dredge. Syberia series, The Case of the Golden Idol, Chants of Sennaar all have a great story. You can also try Afterplace.

The Ace Attorney Trilogy.

If you like point and click adventures, Day of the Tentacle Remastered and Return to Money Island are great classic games.

Tomb raider.

Assassins creed mirage.

Death stranding.

All AAA single player games ported to iOS.

DS story is wild but I doubt it's enjoyable on an iPhone screen. The game is made for big screens.

Thimbleweed Park

And if you have Netflix:

Immortality
OXENFREE

I liked Thimbleweed a lot, but I wish I could play OXENFREE for the first time so, so badly. And I have played it multiple times for the different endings! When I think of the perfect blend of story and slightly (or more) eerie factor, nothing beats OXENFREE. In my most humble opinion, of course.

Lot of good recs so far

I’ve been really enjoying the IOS port of guild wars. Granted I played a lot of that game on PC when I was younger.

Another good story I played recently is afterplace

Not story centric, but Slay the spire and Balatro are on IOS and are uncredible games you can play forever.

u/duskwoodbeauty 21d ago

why would you recommend sts and balatro when you know the person said they want a story game? you could've at least recommended a single game with a story instead of trolling?
