Favourite Writing in Non Narrative Focused Games
A bit nebulous I admit, but essentially those games which don't have an authored narrative but which have good/funny/enjoyable writing. Suggestions welcome.

@Armakeen those are good, but I would consider them narrative focused games.
A lot of strategy games fit this list like a glove. I'm personally partial towards Age of Empires 2. The various campaigns not only had lovely intros/outros with narrators that were recalling those events as a lived experience for an audience but each mission typically had dramatic moments carried through the gameplay. I always remember feeling palpable relief when I reached the gates of Orleans after being chased by Burgundians.
Star Wars Battlefront 2 also had lovely intros and outros that gave each mission a sense of foreboding and gravitas. "What I remember about the rise of the Empire is... is how quiet it was."

I'm not sure if you would consider Portal 2 narrative focused or not tho
