First of all, do not think this is a list bashing games or the people who enjoy them. “Violent games make violent people,” that is the argument at least. In general it is hard to find a connection between games and antisocial behaviors, but these games are good candidates to prove the saying true, at least in terms of sociopathy. It may be a bit hypocritical, but 𓆏a lot of the games on this list are actually quite fun, and that might be a bit worrisome. In either case, these games teach you a lot of things, from how to properly disembowel, dismember, and execute the enemy to how to lie, steal, cheat, and just change who you are at the drop of a hat.
The games here are just some of those games which will make you both mesmerize you and make you cringe at their content. Some of them are less violent than others, and others give you the choice of being a murderer. Here are some of the most sociopathic games to have ever be🅷en made and some which will be released soon. Upcoming games are listed first!
20 𝓀 Yandere Simulator - Upcoming ♈
Have you ever loved someone so bad that they drove you insane? I mean, literally driving you insane, like a lovesick slasher villain who stalks the love those interested in their obsession. If that sounds interesting to you, this may very much be the game for you. In Yandere Simulator you play as a crazy high school girl who is so obsessed with her crush that she will do anything to be with him, including murder, torture, blackmail, anything. On top of all of that, the game will feature a lot of sexually charged material that may warrant it just shy of an AO label. In fact, the game comes with a disclai꧑mer stating that all people in t𝕴he game are at least 18 years of age, no matter what. Creepy? Sadistic? Deviant? Definitely sociopathic.
19 Vampyr - Upcoming ꧙ 𒆙
Vampyr is one of those games that every horror fan should be excited to know is coming out this year. The central theme of the game is the struggle to accept the terrible changes which may take place in our lives; the big change that happens in this game is that your character is a physician struggling to come to terms with becoming a vampire. The game is poised to make the player make difficult decisions which will either help maintain your humanity or cause you to descend into darkness. In either case, we can expect the level of cruelty that thus far, only Game of Thrones has rendered unto us꧙. When this game officially drops, it is expected to make a big splash in the already sat🌳urated vampire subgenre.
18 Survive The Nights - U🍌pcoming ⭕
For those of us who have played games like Day Z and 7 Days to Die, we are no strangers to crafting survival horror, and the upcoming Survive the Nights promises to push the genre forward. Some of what are promised with this title are total PvP servers and frantic struggles to keep the living, the dead, and the undead out of your temporary bases. A major difference between Survive the Nights and 7 Days to Die are that you will never have the chance to have a permanent settlement. Thanks to everything that’s being teased for inclusion, it seems that this game will push players to take to greater reeving and massacring of other players than any other survival horror crafting g﷽ame before; don’t know about you 🐟but I’m stoked.
17 🎉 Wild West Online - Upcoming ൩
Considering this game is probably going to end up being a massively multiplayer online Spaghetti Western, we can anticipate that it will be filled with at least 4,000 Men With No Names and a couple hundred Djangos. It’s going to be interesting to see how it develops, but what is known for a fact is that it is heavily influenced by Rockstar’s Red Dead Redemption and will encourage players to take to the lives of outlaws and vigilantes. There is a chance that American Indians will be present in the game; hopefully their appearance will be more positive than in games like Gun should they be prese🎃nt. Let’s hope that we’ll be able to get into saloon shootඣouts and train heists soon, because it will just be terrible if this game turns out to be vaporware.
16 Scum - Upcoming ✱
Scum is an upcoming massively-multiplayer online battle royale survival game where you play as a death row inmate dropped on an island to kill all the other death row inmates (players) so that you can get your freedom. It will not only featu💝rꦏe leveling for different skills, forcing players to make more difficult decisions in how they play the game, but they will also have to kill and eat game to survive. These unique additions to the genre make the game feel similar to a roleplaying game with little story. Since pretty much everything can be made a weapon, even the animals, you might find it worth it to grab a copy once the beta opens up. Until then, we’re going to have to wait for this rejuvenating entry to the survival-shooter genre.
15 Far Cry 5 - Upcoming ꦅ
Keeping in tradition, we know for a fact that the oncoming Far Cry 5 is going to be a hellish ride through the uncharted lands of Hope County, Montana of the good ole US of A. This will be the most unusual entry in the series as it will not only be the first to take place in the continental United States, but it will be the first to entirely focus on the de𒐪struction of a cult. Since the series is known for giving you tough decisions wheไn it comes to ending the game, it is going to be wild to see how this one goes. We already know that there will be more guns than the last two main entries in the series, so, maybe we’ll see more bodies drop than Kyrat at sundown.
14 🐓 🔜 Uncharted Series
A strong following does not even begin to describe fans of the Uncharted seri🍌es, but let’s look at the games themselves. The protagonist, Nathan Drake, is basically just a modern, more likeable, and more arrogant Indiana Jones who is also friendlier. Drake has even less respect for native cultures and theft of national treasures than Harrison Ford’s masterwork. The games make you kill large amounts of people because of treasure hunting. The complex character of Nathan Drake is overshadowed by his arrogant attitude and greed. Unlike Indy, Drake has zero problems with killing anyone to steal what he wants just because he can and has a top dollar buyer in mind. For all that it is worth, the moral of these games i🀅s, "Bad native, this is mine now."
13 ☂ ꧅ Shadow Of The Colossus
Before we touch on the game itself, remember that by playing this game you will probably be traumatized by your senseless murder of the peaceful Colossi who guard the world against evil. At the behest of a disembodied voice, you go about killing these lumbering behemoths to free the unseen menace; you’re basically a patsy. Shadow of the Colossus is fantastic. It teaches you that listening to strange disembodied voices skulking arꦕound forests telling you to go kill giants is no basis for a system of decision making. After it’s all said and done, you have to fix the problem that you just unleashed; it’s the least you can do. Technically, you could also call t𝔍his an upcoming release because the HD remake is going to blast the original game out of the water.
12 ಞ Grand Theft Auto
Let’s get the biggest, baddest, and most cartoonish gorilla in the room, the Grand Theft Auto series. The irresponsible and gratuitous nature of the series just adds to the insanity factor when you decide to go on an all-out rampage. The only time that you really face any consequences in the game is when you get to the dreaded (coveted works, too) five star wanted level. The massive death tolls that the game encourages you to rack up are only part of the intoxicating fun of the GTA series. The variety of ways to dispatch your digital victims is quite wide, from explosive and incendiary devices all the ♏way to blunt force trauma. The game gives you a sense of reward in just going out and taking your anger, vengeance, boredom, or what have you on th😼e denizens of whatever city you’re in.
11 The Sims
First rule of the Sims, you will kill at least half your Sims. Second rule of the Sims; you will find devious ways to do so. This is a perfect example of letting your god com♋plex going to your head, because what is more megalomaniacal than playing judge, jury, and executioner? Not much, that’s what. Players will kill off their digital people for any number of reasons, being too promiscuous? That’s it, fiery death for you! Not being friendly enough with the mail man? Yup, you’re getting smote. There is no way for your Sims to win unless you simply get bored with what’s going on. One of the most common ways that people will intentionally kill their citizens is throug🐲h starvation, and that is probably the cruelest way to kill anyone in game.
