Examples of games with effective coherent worlds

An example of a game set in the future;


 Halo


Halo creates a coherent world that is believable despite being set in the future.It uses a story with many parallels to our current world. For example the issues of religion and wars caused by religion. All the aesthetic elements of he world make you believe in the setting and the worlds even though it is something quite far fetched. The world has a strong sense verisimilitude, we believe in it even if it is based on things which don't exist.










An example of a game set in the past;


 Red Dead Redemption


Red Dead Redemption is an example of a game that is set in the past. It uses the costume and aesthetic qualities of the time period to really make the player feel like they are in the time period. With everything fitting in to the time period the player can be immersed into the world without their sense of cohesion being interrupted by something feeling out of place.
