10 Most Shocking Video Game Plot Twists Of 2018
1. Alice Is An Android - Detroit: Become Human
Directed by notoriously weird gaming icon David Cage, 2018’s Detroit: Become Human is the latest in his string of interactive cinematic experiences. There usually isn’t much in the way of gameplay in these games; instead, players are made to make decision which could heavily impact the narrative.
Cage’s games are relatively controversial among gamers—some love him, and some find him unbearably pretentious. Be that as it may, 2010’s Heavy Rain contained what might be one of the greatest video game plot twists of all time. It’s still a game worth experiencing eight years after release—just keep an eye on that quiet-type private investigator.
Most fans of Cage’s work went in to Detroit: Become Human expecting a Heavy Rain-caliber twist, and they were mostly rewarded. One of the game’s three primary narratives sees Kara and Alice, the former and android and the latter apparently human, caught in a struggle to emigrate to Canada after Kara becomes a deviant.
In the end it is revealed that Alice is actually an android replica meant to replace Todd Williams’ lost daughter. It wasn’t quite as earth shattering as other reveals in gaming, but it was tough to see coming for some.
