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

3. Shooting A Friend - The Walking Dead: Season 2

You’d be hard pressed to identify a video game series that gives you more excruciating decisions to make than The Walking Dead.

From figuring out who to trust, who to save, how to help protagonist Lee raise his ward Clementine in the first season to leading Clementine to make the best decisions she can as the series wears on, the zombie apocalypse is a choice-riddled nightmare for everybody. While we’re spoiled for choice on brutal moral decisions that you’ll be posed with, I’ve gone with the one I replayed approximately 7 times trying to figure out which had the least bad outcome.

It seems I wasn’t the only one because it looks like everyone struggled with the decision of whether or not to shoot your old friend Kenny when he and your new friend Jane got into a lethal altercation at the end of the game.

The official statistics say 50.9% of players decided to shoot Kenny while 49.1% decided not to. This final decision is exacerbated by your desire to protect Jane, your existing relationship with Kenny, and your concern for the infant AJ who Jane has just informed you has died in order to set Kenny off. Either way, at least one of your companions ends up dead and you’ll have a second choice to make upon realising AJ is alive whether to go with him on your own or with the surviving companion.
