killamch89 Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 I'm curious to hear about games where player choices had a real impact on the story, gameplay, or world-building. Have you ever played a game where your decisions led to unexpected or meaningful consequences that stood out to you? What game was it, and what made the experience so unique in terms of how it handled player choice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Button Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 One game that I remembered is.The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The story in this game is heavily influenced by your choices. For example, certain characters can actually die or become allies based on your decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to mention Tyranny to the list - in this game, your choices does not only affect the story but also the gameplay mechanics as well.

Personally, Detroit: Become Human comes to mind immediately. The branching paths based on choices are so intricately woven that the game feels different with every playthrough. I found it fascinating how even small decisions could lead to entirely different outcomes and character fates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also pick the Papers, Please. It's a game where you play as an immigration officer, and your choices will definitely affect the lives of the people passing through your checkpoint.

The tension of trying to do your job while dealing with the moral implications is what makes it so compelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted September 28 Share Posted September 28 Yes, I played "Detroit: Become Human." Its branching narratives and moral dilemmas made every choice feel impactful and deeply engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
