5 indie games that do storytelling better than most AAA titles

Indie games have been where a ton of innovation in gaming has come in recent years, including narratives in video games. While massive AAA hits like The Last of Ushave channeled prestige television, indie games have embraced the interactive medium, weaving stories that would be hard to tell any other way. One of the biggest strengths of indie games is that they aren't expected to sell several million copies, so the storytelling can be more creative, without having to worry too much about anyone being pushed away by non-traditional storytelling. For this list, I went with narrative indie games that either tell incredible stories or tell their story in a way that feels creative and different, while still being great narratives.
