What’s your favorite game that seamlessly integrates lore into its environment?

What titles excel at embedding story details in environment, architecture, and NPC behavior rather than just cutscenes and text dumps? Whether it’s environmental storytelling in ruined temples, audio logs tucked behind hidden doors, or dynamic world events, share games where exploration uncovers a rich, implicit narrative.

One of my favorites is The Witcher 3. Its rich lore is seamlessly woven into the environment, with detailed towns, monsters, and texts that deepen the story. The world-building immerses players, making every location feel alive and integral to the narrative.

'Hollow Knight' scatters cryptic ruins and echoing halls that drip history through atmosphere alone, inviting players to piece together forgotten kingdoms.
