In my opinion, *The Last of Us Part II* has the best pacing for narrative development. Its deliberate unfoldment of character arcs and emotional tension keeps players engaged, allowing for impactful moments. The story's rhythm masterfully balances action with poignant storytelling.

God of War (2018) masters narrative pacing by telling two stories simultaneously - the immediate journey with Atreus and the gradually revealed backstory of Kratos. The constant drip of character development during gameplay, rather than being segregated to cutscenes, keeps the story moving even during exploration.
