10 More Great Video Games That Never Got Sequels
6. Second Sight
The summer of 2004 was a weird time for psychic third person adventure games. Like buses, we went from nothing for ages, to having two at once. Psi-Ops may have pipped it on the release window schedule, but the better game was definitely IO Interactive's Second Sight (don't psychically @ me to change my mind).
A strong story, in which you play supposed amnesiac John Vattic, events don't quite play out how you'd expect them to in this mind-bending espionage tale. To spoil it wouldn't be fair, but I will say the endgame is one of the strongest twists I've personally experienced.
Gameplay itself was great fun too, as you gradually unlock Vattic's latent psychic abilities, becoming stronger and able to manipulate more of the environment and enemies themselves as you try and discover how you ended up this way.
But by some weird, Twilight Zone logic, Psi-Ops seemed to be the stronger seller of the two, leaving people to turn a blind eye to Second Sight. There was just no accounting for taste in those days...
