Tetris doesn't need any storytelling, Mario doesn't need good storytelling,.
My favorite videogame are fighting games like Street Fighter or King of Fighters, platformers like Mario or Donkey Kong, and Strategy games like Civilization. None of them need a good story, Civilization doesn't even have a Story, you create the story as you play.
Videogames arent primarily a storytelling medium like literature or films, they are about gameplay. Not even RPG's need stories, classic rpgs dungeon crawlers barely had one, a modern example of that is the Etrian Odyssey franchise (although now they are making games with developed stories)
