10 Video Games Where the Ending Can Change Based on Player’s Actions

Games have been trying to properly implement choice and consequence mechanics for ages, and it’s fair to say that we’ve seen our fair share of ups and downs on that front. More often than not, the illusion of choice is what we get instead of choices that have actual and meaningful consequences- but of course, every so often, we do get games where the decisions you make actually do end up mattering quite a lot- games where, whether because of one snap decision or a string of them, how the story ends can vary significantly. Here, we’re going to talk about a few such games.

THE QUARRY

By now, Supermassive Games almost has this formula down to a science. The developer has made multiple interactive horror adventure games by now, and its latest, The Quarry, once again delivers an experience where your actions throughout the story have a major impact on how things end for each and every character. All of them can die, or none of them can, and it’s all down to what you do. The knowledge that there will be actual consequences to your actions lends a great deal of weight to everything you do in the game.

SOMA, Onrush and Iconoclasts Free in December With PlayStation Plus

Sony has announced that PlayStation Plus subscribers will receive SOMA, Onrush, and Iconoclasts – among other titles – for free in December. They might not quite be major headliners like last month’s Yakuza Kiwami and Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition, but these are still some quality releases. Check out the video below.

SOMA is available for the PS4, and comes from the development studio behind Amnesia: The Dark Descent. It takes players into a futuristic underwater facility teeming with robots, both friendly and rogue. What’s going on, and how does the player escape? That’s part of the appeal in this atmospheric horror title.

Codemasters’ Onrush comes from the team responsible for DriveClub. Though it wasn’t especially successful, the title’s fast and responsive racing, along with an unorthodox approach to team play, is interesting to try out. Then there’s Iconoclasts for the PlayStation Vita (which has Cross Buy support with PS4), an excellent side-scrolling 2D platformer with a compelling story from the developer of Noitu Love 2: Devolution.

Other titles that you can look forward to include Steredenn and Steins;Gate for the PlayStation 3 and Papers, Please for the PlayStation Vita. All in all, it’s a fairly strong selection across all platforms. Look for them to go live when the PlayStation Store refreshes in December.

Steins;Gate Coming to PS3 and PS Vita in 2015

The spectacular visual novel, Steins;Gate, has long been considered to be one of the hallmarks of the genre. For all this time, it has also been mostly exclusive to Japan, and, shockingly enough, to Microsoft’s Xbox 360 console. All of that ends next year, when PQube brings Steins;Gate to the west, finally, on the PlayStation 3 and the PlayStation Vita.

The success of steins;Gate, it’s time paradox fueled science fiction/horror mystery plot, and its characters, all of which have led to the property becoming a full fledged media IP in Japan, complete with manga and anime adaptations, has so far not been well reflected in the west at all. But given the west’s recent uptake of visual novels, such as Ace Attorney, Danganronpa, Persona, and of course, 999, hopefully Steins;Gate will find the success it so thoroughly deserves as well, when it releases here.
