10 Hardest Moral Choices In Recent Video Games

In Arkane's Deathloop, a group calling themselves the "Visionaries" discover a temporal anomaly on the island of Black Reef. Intent to live forever, they harness the energy of this anomaly to create a stable time loop, reliving the same day forever in what they refer to as, "amortality."

Why?

To party. Each day they they rage like freshman until the loops resets and they do it all again. No hangovers, no responsibilities, and no memory of the day's events. It doesn't sound so bad.

Unless you're protagonist Cole. Because he does remember and it's driving him mad. As he sets out to kill the Visionaries he's repeatedly confronted by Visionary Julianna. As you later learn, she's also his daughter.

At the end of the game you have to make a choice: break the loop by killing Julianna and yourself - the last two Visionaries - or preserve the loop, reconcile with your child, and live in amortality? And what of the anomaly itself?

That's a lot of energy that will have to go somewhere if the loop ends. It's a big choice to make with little information and makes you realize that Cole and the Visionaries aren't so different: doing what they want regardless of the consequences.
