Not all video games consist of shooting down enemies and racing cars on a track. Some of them have in depth stories that you'll be dying to finish. They'll let you take on the role of a character and control their actions and dialogue choices. That's why it'll actually feel more like you're watching an interactive movie than playing a game. If you like that idea, here are a few games you should check out:

1. Life is Strange
This is a story about your average college girl--except she's able to travel through time. After she learns about her powers, she does whatever she can to prevent her loved ones from getting hurt. Of course, it's never a good idea to mess with time, which is why her plans don't always end up working out. You'll be in charge of making the character's decisions, so make sure you give her a life to be proud of.
2. Until Dawn
If you love horror movies, then you'll love this story about a group of teenagers who spend the winter together in a cabin. You'll get to control pretty much all of them, which means you'll be in charge of whether they live or die. If you make the right choices, you can finish the game with everyone still alive. But if you make the wrong moves? Your favorite characters will be gone.

3. The Wolf among Us
Do you love fairy tales? Well, this game is about the Big Bad Wolf. Of course, it also includes Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, and all of your other favorite fables.
Imagine being dropped into a gritty world where classic characters from childhood stories walk the neon-drenched streets of New York, hiding in plain sight. The Wolf Among Us is a choice-driven narrative game by Telltale Games that lets you step into the shoes of Bigby Wolf, the sheriff of Fabletown, tasked with maintaining order among the mythical beings who've taken refuge in the mundane human world. The game weaves suspense, mystery, and the hard-boiled charm of a detective noir, making it a binge-worthy experience that blurs the line between playing a game and directing an epic saga of intrigue and betrayal.

It doesn't matter if you love The Walking Dead, or if you've never had an interest in it before. This game has entirely new characters (with the exception of Glenn and Hershel). You'll play as Lee, a man who's on his way to jail when he learns about the zombie apocalypse. With the help of a little girl you're bound to fall in love with, he tries his best to survive in the new world. When you're done with the game, there's even a sequel for you to play!
5. Beyond Two Souls
This is the perfect game for all of you science fiction fans. You'll play as a girl who has special powers that others try to use to their advantage. At points, you'll play as her as an adult. At other points, you'll play as her as a little girl.
