10 Video Games You Didn’t Realise Gave Away Their Major Twists
2. Spec Ops: The Line
Spec-Ops: The Line is one of the few military shooters thats about more than just shooting bad guys. It explores the cost of war and the toll it takes on a persons mental state, culminating in the revelation that Konrad, the bad guy youve been chasing, is actually an imaginary enemy created to cope with and give meaning to the atrocities youve committed, while the real Konrad has been dead the entire time.
This twist is very shocking for those going in expecting a typical shooter, but if you go back and play the game again, youll notice a slew of irregularities hinting at the main characters mental instability. You see the face of Konrad plastered all over the city, which doesnt make any sense for obvious reasons. You see corpses that nobody else in your squad does. Even the way your comrades react to you hints at the fact that its all in your mind, and their reactions take on new meaning once you know the truth.
Essentially, this twist is staring you in the face throughout almost the entirety of the game in a subtle way that most players wont notice. It serves to highlight just how well done the story of Spec Ops is told, with details right there to be discovered, you only need to look for them.
