I am wary of this kind of casual reduction of videogame plots to one-sentence summaries that is all frequent in online discussions. For all I know, the plot of Grim Fandango could be said to be "you're the chosen undead, and you must quest for some items" and Grim Fandango story is one of the best. There's probably not so much of Grim Fandango story in Dark Souls, given there is not so many friendlies in the latter. If anything, I would compare it to System Shock 2, but in fantasy genre rather than sf. The story of System Shock 2 was fine, though maybe not that famous because Half-Life beat it to market. Obviously those are examples from 90's and there is always the question about modern games; AAA as well as those made on lesser budgets. Funny the author of the blog roasts titles such as Firewatch and Spec Ops: Dubai.
