I mean to be fair most video game writing is kind of terrible but we've had Portal for well over a decade now. It's their own fault if they haven't found it yet.
Portal is probably the best written game I can think of. But there's even other stuff too. Baldur's Gate 3, Cyberpunk 2077, BioShock, Metal Gear Solid if you're weird enough...etc. People need to just open their minds.
Who in hell'd say that? If there's something i owe a decent comprehension of dialogue, world-building, and narrative it's videogames, be it New vegas or my favourite HOI IV mod and its lore dumps alongside mild schizo posting.
I met two of my closest friends thanks to video game fandom, and writing fanfic for that same game gave me the confidence to try writing and publishing my own original fiction.
Not to mention gaming is just fun, and a great way to de-stress.
I’ll never regret the time I spent in Sunless Skies. Watching my player character create their written masterpiece while I’m tearing across space to give them something to write.

You’re totally right, we’ve had great writing in games for a long time now.
