If you want more cinematic games, the Quantic Dream portfolio has a couple. Heavy Rain and Detroit: Become Human are both notable examples. I remember having some serious anxiety playing Heavy Rain, in the best way.
I can't speak for the other games mentioned in this thread, but in the case of Heavy Rain it was very enjoyable that often you had to make quick decisions or the game would choose for you
I agree! If by “enjoyable” you mean “incredibly stressful and intense”!
Few games have given me the same sense of “ohgodohgodohgod” as Heavy Rain did.
Hahahahaha, you're right. My choice of words is very debatable, but it's true that the moment you had to make a choice was implemented well and I was very concentrated in the heat of the moment
No it’s definitely enjoyable, I’m just kidding around. It’s that it’s the complex kind of enjoyable that is fueled by adrenaline and harmless anxiety. I’m a big horror fan, so it feels familiar to that fandom.
Yes. I was just gonna suggest Heavy Rain.
I actually liked Beyond 2 Souls, too. Didn't age well at all especially with the naked model allegations and all, but playing it at the time there were some intense moments in there.
I considered calling that one out but I never got very far in it so I couldn’t speak for the decision making depth. But thanks for the input!
Also, I think it’s important to note that we don’t talk about Fahrenheit/Indigo “Super Saiyan zombie fight against the internet” Prophecy.
