8 Video Games That Reward You For Doing NOTHING

8. DON'T Kill Your Friends - Lost Odyssey

I don't know if this needs to be stated, but killing your friends is something that you should try and avoid at all costs. Not only is it going to be a very quiet birthday party if you're cutting kidneys over cutting cakes, but who's going to have your back if you've ended up stabbing friends in theirs?

Thankfully some video games display this message loud and clear to help us avoid such a silly mistake, and while I could speak of countless RPGs that use this trope, we're going to look at Lost Odyssey, mainly because it's a title whose name has become quite apt, as it's faded into obscurity.

This glorious love letter to old-school turn-based RPGs tells the tale of a man who has forgotten his past, Kaim, and is trying to reclaim his memories with the help of a trusted group of allies.

It's a shame therefore when the Big Evil Gongora decides to use his body as a puppet and attack them. In the second battle with this absolute Oaf, Gongora will control Jansen, and if the party attacks their friend it'll likely cause a Game Over.

So what do you do? Well simply put, absolutely nothing! Just take all your counter-attack skills off and wait it out, thus leaving you with a much easier fight once Gongora gets bored! Nice.
