14 Awesome Summer 2017 Video Games You Probably Missed

5. Late Shift

The FMV video game isn't exactly a genre that's ever been taken seriously, typically with good reason, but this surprisingly slick interactive movie proves that, in 2017, it can be pulled off more convincingly than ever before.

Late Shift is the story of one young man who gets roped into a robbery over the course of one long, fateful night, and by selecting various dialogue and action choices throughout the film, players can steer the plot in different directions.

What's most impressive about Late Shift is the fairly complex nature of the branching narrative: there are more than half-a-dozen different ways for the story to diverge after the initial set-up, giving it a surprising amount of replay value.

Also, far from the FMV titles of yesteryear, the game reacts seamlessly to your choices with not even a single stutter in sight, ensuring that at the cost of less than a movie ticket, this is a must-buy for anyone interested in interactive drama.
