And so we end this list with the number one spot going to Disco Elysium (hey it's kinda like this game is amazing at nearly everything it does!) and of course, this being Disco Elysium it tackles the subject of punishing the player for being the worst in a very unique way.

Throughout the game, the player is given the chance to shape their version of Harry Dubois through a plethora of philosophical and socio-political choices, and one such avenue of close-minded thinking is to send Harry down the stink hole of facism. To do this you must become the utter unwashed scrotum of society and agree with policies such as women, foreigners, and anyone who doesn't want to build a strong nation-state being the bane of your existence (along with developing an alcohol addiction).

Doing this enough will earn you the dishonor of the Revacholoian Nationhood psyche, which provides a buff the more booze you drink. However, it comes with more than a few strings attached, for if the player then proceeds to agree with fascist comments and ideas after receiving the trait, they will actually start taking Morale damage, with the message behind it being fascism destroys you and those around those ideals. By taking this path to become the absolute worst, you are actively harming yourself in the process.

And that's punishment enough.
