10 Video Games That Reward You For Being Evil

3. This War Of Mine

This War Of Mine
11 Bit Studios

This War Of Mine takes place in a bleak world where normal society has totally crumbled, tasking the player with caring for a hungry, cold, and sick group of civilians. To survive, you have to scavenge the surrounding dystopia for resources, which can then be used to craft tools, make food, or upgrade your shelter.

It's a "survival of the fittest" scenario where supplies are incredibly scarce, and as such, the game makes it really, really hard for you to play well with others.

In general, it's far more beneficial for you - and for your fellow survivors - if you're completely selfish when you encounter other NPCs out in the world. Sure, you could leave that nice old couple alone with their food stash, or, you could steal all of their belongings and bring them back to your own camp, where you can then feed your hungry allies.

It's not just food that's at stake either. Robbing NPCs - or killing them and looting their corpses - can reward you with medicine, ammo, body armour, and even weapons, all valuable tools that will aid your quest for survival.

Sure, your characters will take a morale hit if you consistently act like an evil douchebag - but at least they'll be miserable on a full stomach!

Danny has been with WhatCulture for over ten years, and is currently Doctor Who Editor and WhoCulture Channel Manager, overseeing all of WhatCulture's Whoniverse coverage. In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
