12 Video Games That Will Change How You See The World

12. Hotline Miami

Hotline Miami sees our mask-wearing, Travis Bickle-inspired anti-heroes travel across the city, shooting, bashing and punching their way through the skulls and flesh of an impressive foray of hideouts, clubs and brothels.

As tougher and more powerful Mafia bosses fall to the might of our katana/MP5/ninja star/[insert favourite weapon here] combo, we eventually find ourselves in front of the cryptic Janitors; the puppeteers behind the phone calls that had been directing our mass-murdering sprees.

Not only do the Janitors deliberately avoid a reasonable explanation as to why we have been a tool for their Mafia-clearance business, preventing any self-justification for our seven hours of Scarface, but they outright tell us that you, not the character, but you, have been crushing brains and stabbing gangsters because you enjoyed it.

The Janitors are even modelled on the developers themselves, just to smash up the final remnants of that fourth wall we thought we were safely hidden behind.
