The logical answer is: IT DEPENDS.

Is it a platformer? Is it an RPG? Is it a shooter? Is it a big game like a AAA game, or just some test game for school or something?

Truth be told, if you are not required to know about the story to play or enjoy the game, even some of the most cliche stories might work, or even no story at all!

A game is art, the first thing to consider is to make it more enjoyable for most people to play it, then think of a story to SAY something, not just be there in the background. If you have a small game with great mechanics and some interesting story (please note: not an epic story necessarily), more people will love it an crave for more, if not, maybe is time to go back to the whiteboard.

Cheers mate, and good luck!
