15 Video Games That REWARD YOU For Playing Badly

12. Lara Croft And The Temple Of Osiris

Crash Bandicoot
Square Enix

While the Tomb Raider franchise was given a new coat of paint in 2013, Temple of Osiris was a 2014 sequel to Guardian of Light made as a puzzle-solving co-operative arcade game, rather than the story-driven action-adventure the franchise has become.

With co-op comes ingrained competition; even if you're meant to be working together to solve puzzles, there's still an innate desire to get one better on your friends by being the best.

Whether it's a higher score, a better kill/death ratio, or superior loot, there's something in every game to create a hierarchy amongst teammates.

Temple of Osiris, not forgetting this, extends a hand of friendship to the player who is perhaps not quite as adept as the others at staying in the realm of the living- by bestowing the achievement "Hey, at least you are best at something!" upon whoever died most in a level.

An achievement and a back-handed remark all at once- what more could a suffering player ask for than a permanent reminder of their poor performance?

I'm perfectly sane, or so the voices tell me. British, sarcastic, president of the European Slinky Association, have a tendency to lie when listing things about myself. 100% guilty of being a massive geek obsessed with Doctor Who, Harry Potter and video games. If you can't find me on the internet, I'm probably locked in a room playing Spyro the Dragon on my old PlayStation, or blowing everything to smithereens with a concrete donkey on Worms: Armageddon.
