9 Toughest Video Game Moral Choices (And What You Picked)

Impossible to decide, but you had to.

With the rise of non-linear video games that sought to provide players with more options to craft their stories the way they wanted, making choices became more of a fixture.

And with the prevalence of those choices, inevitably some of them weren’t so easy to make. This is especially the case where a video game decision gives you a moral dilemma to address, forcing you to weigh up different consequences, particularly where the lives of those you care about or your success in the rest of the game hangs in the balance.

Luckily, developers of these games and the players who stress over their decision-making tend to keep track of who decides what.

So if you’ve come here for some comfort that what you chose was in the majority, you could be in the right place.

Naturally, we’ll be talking spoilers here so beware.
