10 BRUTAL Video Games (Where You Don't Have To Kill Anybody)

4. Final Fantasy VII

One of the most acclaimed games in the legendary Final Fantasy franchise, the seventh title released in 1997 was the first in the series to receive a release in the west and holds a special place in the heart of many a gamer as a result.

Then, after years of rumours and speculation, the game made a triumphant return, with a remake exclusively on PS4 dropping earlier this year.

While it may not be possible to complete the Final Fantasy 7 remake without getting at least a little blood on your hands, players can still make a choice to avoid unnecessary violence in the game.

During chapter 16, the player has the choice of ascending the Shinra Building by either taking the stairs or the elevator. If the player takes the stairs, they can avoid conflict by avoiding out two battle sequences, but will instead have to walk up all 59 floors.

No one ever said being virtuous would be easy...
