Players usually want a good story in their games. I can enjoy a good story too, but sometimes I just want to get going and do stuff without listening to several minutes of dialog in-between action.

Do you know any games where there’s no story (or very minimal/skippable one), and the game mechanics alone carry the game?

EDIT: Thank you all for the suggestions. There are some that I’ve never heard of and look very interesting. Will definitely pick some of them up.

    Mount and Blade 2: Bannerlord. There is a small background storyline that you can choose to follow, or completely ignore. When I play, I create a story in my head.

      I amassed a huge amount of gold and then wasn’t sure what to do. The story said I had to find some guy but I kept just chasing him around the map and could never catch him.
