My choice for most impressive storytelling in videogames in Naughty Dog's Uncharted 4. The company is known for being ahead of everyone else in several things, storytellin being one of them. The game starts with main character Nathan Drake reuniting with his supposedly dead brother. His death was big hit for him, enough to bury their dream; finding the legendary Libertalia. The pacing and interwoving of imagery with story and moods of the characters is masterful. The narrative works so well because you really become invested in the story and if you are Uncharted fan, you have some shared past with our hero Nathan. The brothers travel around the globe trying to outsmart the villain Rafe, who is probably my favorite one because the believable and masterful writing.

Chat has always been a very important feature in many multiplayer games that focus on teamwork. Our bizarre times has spawned most weird "politically correct" phenomenon in EA's new Battlefield game. The chat censors words such as "white man", "lag", "nazi" and "jew". This is absurd considering it is a multiplayer war game that takes place during World war 2. I'm interested what will be EA's take on this and how will they explain or change it. I would guess it is to lessen toxicity in chat, but my presonal opinion is that players should not be mollycoddled and controlled this way. BFV is a game for adults and we should be able to handle profany.
