Edit: holy shit I turn my head around for one second and I got 40 replies? THANK YOU ALL :D <3
I just rewatched Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and following Bane’s and Miranda’s story made me realize that I’m a bit saturated in regards to playing as the hero, the protagonist, the “good guy” in PC games. While I love saving the world as much as the next person, I’d love to play as some perhaps self-righteous villain, or antagonist, or simply somebody portrayed in a way that’s meant to make the player sympathize with questionable morality or, at the very least, be conflicted about why you suddenly find yourself rooting for them.
I’m mostly looking for story driven open world single player games, but any recommendations are welcome. :)
Echoing Spec Ops: The Line.
It’s no longer available on Steam, but if you can find a way to play it then you should. Probably the most necessary game about war at the moment.
The only bad thing about Spec Ops: The Line is you can’t talk about what makes it so good without massively spoiling it.
Yes. But anyone else reading this comment needs to know it is so good.
Third recommendation of this game… I gave it a cursory try over 10 years ago…
Don’t look up anything about it and finish it this weekend. It’s short and linear. If you appreciate a well-crafted narrative with a message, you owe it to yourself to play the full story.
Came here to say this. It holds up really well and remains relevant.
It’s not even that old, why’d they remove it?
Licensing, I think.
Though the recent news of Israel engaging in white phosphorous strikes makes a girl think, dunnit?
Way to legitimise piracy
Probably music licenses expiring. The game’s soundtrack has a lot of prog rock in it.
