Which games have the most entertainingly written books/lore/codex entries/etc.?

[StaceyPowers]

What games do you think have done the best when it comes to books, codex entries, or other written lore? I think the Dragon Age codex entries are fairly interesting and easy to read.

Witcher 3 has a bunch

Thief 3 Deadly Shadows, I still remember one of the lines from it:

"Where are you, where are you, little Miss Ann? I'm in the pot boiling with Seamus and Sam. - Children's Rhyme"

DeusEx

Tomb Raider reboot

Those had the most interesting secondary lore.

The Witcher 3 books are pretty good and explain a lot of things we don't understand in the game. I've been playing Witcher games for a good 8 years and I still didn't understand much of the lore but the book somewhat enlightened me. I said somewhat because some things did further confuse me.

BioShock series is definitely not going to be left out which is based on the novel and philosophy of Ayn Rand. It's one of the greatest games based book I have ever read.

I didn't know that had a book. That would be an interesting read.

Yeah, it does have a book 📙 and it's an interesting read from my angle of view when I read it last year.
