9 Smartest Video Game Decisions (That Still Got People Killed)

7. Saving Arcadia Bay - Life Is Strange

Life Is Strange forces players to make one of the toughest moral decisions in the history of video games: go back in time and allow Max's best friend Chloe to die in order to save Arcadia Bay, or allow Arcadia Bay to be destroyed by the incoming storm to keep Chloe alive.

It's a very clear mind vs. heart dilemma, and to that end the only decision that really makes much practical sense is the utilitarian one, to lay down Chloe's life in order to ensure countless more lives aren't lost in Arcadia Bay's destruction.

If you do indeed make the "right" decision, you're subjected to an intensely bittersweet ending as Max attends Chloe's funeral.

As such, it's little surprise that many players instead followed their heart by saving their best pal - if condemning possibly thousands to death in the process.

There's only one smart call to make, even if it's an absolutely heart-wrenching one.
