    Depends on the game/genre. The Diablo and Warcraft novels supplemented the in-game lore and were competently written. And there’s a lot of crossover between fantasy nerds and RPG players.

    The actual writer for the first two Mass Effect games wrote some of that game’s novels, too (which I have not read).
