The whole game is an anomaly, plagued with some pourly addressed design challenges and a bit of jank, BUT, it is also wonderfully unique, has everything you could want in a shooter, instant action, high skill ceilling and it ruined gunplay for me with its longer TTK and deep shooting/bullet mechanics (most other shooters are just point and click by contrast).
Mass Effect 2 kind of pisses me off, ngl. The characters are so good, but the plot is really kind of bad. Forcing Shepard to work with Cerberus makes zero sense, especially since my Shepard went out of their way to murder Cerberus employees for what they did to their squad.
Driver San Francisco kinda. You spend most of the game in a coma, but you do wake up and do some real stuff for the ending.
Depending on your definition of nothing happens, Mad Max too. At the start of the game Max loses his car, meets this car fanatic and for the entire game he helps you build the “Magnum Opus”, the most badass car the wasteland has seen. At the end, you lose your Magnum Opus, he gets killed, and you get your original car back. You have a big impact on other people throughout the story, but as far as the protagonist is concerned, he is pretty much exactly where he started.
spoileryou can choose to return everything the way it was to restore the timeline and rescue the town.
In “What remains of Edith Finch” you arguably don’t change anything. You just discover what has already happened, then you leave and the story ends. Even more so with “Dear Esther”. Less so with “The Vanishing of Ethan Carter”.
Alan Wake? Unclear what happens and what doesn’t, but one possible interpretation is that the main character is just stuck in a room typing on a typewriter for the entire game.
In Xenon, when you finish level 4 it just restarts at level 1. 🙂
That part at the beginning where you’re sitting at the table with Pagan Min and he leaves briefly giving you a chance to escape. If you just sit there and don’t do anything for like 10 minutes, he actually comes back and takes Ajay to place his mother’s ashes. Then the game ends without a shot fired.
Similarly, Far Cry 5. At the beginning, when you’re told to arrest Joseph Seed, you can choose to just turn around and walk out the door. The sheriff will agree with you, saying it’s best to just leave him and his cult alone and it would’ve only ended in your deaths if you tried to arrest him. Then the game ends.
Playing Persona 5 Royal on the switch every time I have 15 mins or more to spare. It’s almost replaced doom-scrolling entirely for me. Excellent game I failed to get into years ago but this time I think I started while I was in the right headspace.
If you are considering this game and are at all busy, get it on Switch if you can. You frequently go through 40-60 mins of scripted events/dialogue without a chance to save, so the ability to suspend and pick up where you left it is a life-saver. It also prevents me from getting distracted by other games whenever I open Steam. Maybe I’ll finish it this time.
