Kojima's games are not known for good story telling. All of them are down right bad. People who like it tend to not mind cringey and over the top melodramatic dialogue...

If you want to play a deep game with an immersive and engrossing story play planescape torment.

I mind the cringy, boring and melodramatic stuff, but I find that the stuff that does work in his games incredible enough to slog through it.

Planescape: Torment is on a very short list of games where some of the story or setting just randomly pops in my head again. Really one of the best.

The gameplay was pretty awful though, and I never really got into the incredibly cluttered Infinity Engine graphics. Would love a proper 3D remake that either improves the gameplay or makes it even less relevant.
