10 Video Games That Reward You For Being Evil - Commenter Edition

1. The Sims

On our last video Zanotron commented “Basically the Sims should be Number 1, it's a pure evil game”, and not only is this your list, you’re right, so let’s get into it.

The Sims is an exercise in evil, and I’m not even talking about drowning your Sims in an inescapable pool or trapping them in dungeons to create endless artworks that you can sell for increasingly large amounts of money while almost entirely neglecting them. Okay, maybe I am talking about that second one. But it doesn’t stop there. Arguably the easiest way to get rich quick and land yourself a sweet mansion, if you aren’t using cheats, is to romance your way into a mansion baron’s home and then kill him off by whatever means you’d prefer.

Whether in the trait makeup of your Sim, the way you treat them as a player, or the roleplaying of ‘what if I was just a huge jerk’, not many games let you be as evil for as big of a reward as The Sims, so here we are.
