10 Video Games That Let You Become A Literal Monster

At the end of the day, though, sometimes it's nice just to be a monster with no morality. That's where Carrion comes in.

Originating as a biomass found by scientists, our titular monstrosity has only one thing on its squishy agenda: kill, consume, escape confinement into a populated area and just go nuts.

The best part is, unlike most games where this would be a bad thing, Carrion lets you go full ham on the masses of terrified scientists about Relith Science. Eating the staff keeps you healthy, as you explore various tunnels and labs to regain the pieces of genetic code that had been dismantled from you.

It's like the end of the film Ex Machina, but rather than a sentient AI trying to blend in with the world, the carrion mass just wants to blend everyone up into an edible mass.

Which, in all honesty, is bloody great!

Carrion just encourages the grossness, as you can strike and fling your dinner about the shop before you chow down. New abilities let you crash and dash through barriers, gaining more biomass and becoming a sticky force to be reckoned with.
