10 Video Games Everyone LOVED (That Will Never Get Sequels)

10. Spec Ops: The Line

It's not very often that a game comes out that subverts the standard of the genre it's pigeonholed into, but that's exactly what The Line did.

When Yager released it in 2012, it looked like a run-of-the-mill, cover-based war shooter. And yes, whilst it did have that as its main core gameplay, it was the story that really sold it.

Taking the whole "my country tis of thee" patriotism and turning it on its head in favour of ideologies seen and influenced by Heart of Darkness and Apocalypse Now, it took everyone by surprise.

After gaining traction, Spec Ops went on to score highly and reach critical acclaim... but that was it.

But realistically, where could you go with a sequel?

Captain Walker didn't exactly leave Dubai in the best of states (both physically and mentally). Perhaps we could play as Colonel Konrad as he succumbs to what would inevitably lead to Walker's mission starting?

Whatever we may hope for, it seems that The Line was a one-hitter quitter that will only be more revered as time goes on.
