10 Video Games Where Evil Won
8. InFamous
inFamous is well known for its morality system. Playing as cyclist
courier Cole MacGrath, you gain electrical superpowers after surviving an
explosion in Empire City and could choose to either help the city, gaining positive
karma, or act selfishly and build up negative karma.
As you proceed, Cole finds himself at odds with mob boss
Kessler, leader of The First Sons group that seized control of Empire City in
the explosion aftermath. After several incursions, including his murder of your
friend Trish, you’ll eventually fight him.
Regardless of how you played Cole during the game, Kessler reveals he’s actually you from an alternative future, one now lost due to his actions. He also informs you that Trish’s murder was to ensure you never married her, as their eventual family stops Cole addressing the incoming threat of the Beast.
Kessler’s intentions may have been for the overall good but
his twisted methods brought misery to many, causing his plan to eventually
succeed.
