10 Videos Games That Totally Trolled Players

8. Batman: Arkham City - Be Kind, Rewind

Batman Arkham Trapped
Warner Bros. Studios

You'll see that there are certain developers that love this sort of thing... The sequel to Arkham Asylum included a bunch of bonus content featuring Catwoman as a playable character.

Being Catwoman, she's not about doing all the good things we know Batman for. Instead, she's being all sneaky and stealing stuff. Still, when you get to the end of her mission, Batman is trapped and injured somewhere. You're given the choice of saving him or using the distraction to escape.

If you decide to escape and let Batman fend for himself, you waltz out, it's cuts to the credits, it looks like you've beaten the game, and...wait a second.

The game rewinds and picks up from if you made the "good" decision, because that's what you're supposed to do and moral ambiguity is for suckers, apparently.
