10 Most Rewarding Evil Playthroughs In Gaming

1. Cult Of The Lamb

There are times during Cult of the Lamb where players can forget how immoral their behaviour is. After all, the titular character sounds like a messiah, since they opens their doors to strangers, feeds them, offers them gifts, and carries out their requests, no matter how demanding they are.

But at the end of the day, the sinister sheep is running a cult that does every culty thing imaginable.

The Lamb performs plenty of good deeds, but they're all a means to an end. Giving the followers gifts and food manufactures loyalty, making it easier to manipulate them. Letting them drink alcohol and embrace their carnal desires generates sin, feeding The Lamb's power. Once the cult leader has bent his subjects to their will, they'll gladly kill each other, sacrifice themselves, and literally eat their own crap to appease their so-called saviour.

Playing nice doesn't work in the long-run, since it causes The Lamb to level up sluggishly, cutting them off to the best items, upgrades, and Doctrines. 

By cracking the whip and imprisoning a few dissenters, the commune will shower their woolly leader with devotion, allowing them to level up at break-neck speed. Once players realise the depraved lifestyle makes everything easier, they'll never want to be good again.
