8 Intense Games That Kept You On The EDGE OF YOUR SEAT

And finally we have a game that's categorically not a good time, but certainly well worth playing - This War of Mine.

This war survival game certainly isn't a breathlessly fast-paced murder-a-thon, but mines enormous player anxiety from the tough decisions it forces them to make.

The goal is simple - try to keep a group of civilians alive for as long as possible in a besieged fictional city. 

Because most of the civilians have little experience with such a scenario, you're tasked with keeping them alive by managing their health and scavenging materials, all in the hope you can make it long enough for a ceasefire to be called - which occurs only after a random amount of time.

Even the most basic tenets of making it through the day become massively arduous here, enough that when you encounter NPCs survivors outside your dwelling, the temptation to rob or even murder them for your own gain rears its head.

But This War of Mine always keeps humanity at its forefront, ensuring that few will want to simply play as selfishly as possible. Each tough decision is a bitter pill to swallow, all while awaiting salvation that may or may not be around the corner.
