Games in which you are the EEEEEVIIIIIL Monster

Evil?! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIL!

Whether is it creepy or funny, a single player or online experience, these are the games where you can the evil bastard that torments the poor souls that have to either fight or run away from you.

Now, I really wanted to make the list since I made my last one about big scary houses, but the problem I had was trying to find a good set of rules that define what constitutes as a ''monster'' or ''evil'', and I think I've come up with a good one:

-By monster, aside of also ref I refer to any type of being that has only the objective to torment or attack others, so technically, if there's a game where you control a human and you can do terrible deeds, it would also count.

-There are games in which you technically play as a monster attacking others, but by all accounts, you are still ‘’the good guy’’. So, in other words, only games in which the character is presented as ''the evil one'' can count, such as in Evolve the beasts being presented as the ''real bad guy'' and in Doom Eternal with the demons being the enemies in the single player campaign.

-Games where you can decide to be either good or bad DON'T count, that could perfectly be a matter for its own list, and I wanted to focus on games where you only can be evil as a certain character.

Welp, with all that out of the way, suffices to say that suggestions are more than welcomed as always, and in fact I want to thank everyone that has helped me so far to fill out these spooky lists! I'll try to think about more ideas to keep doing them throughout the month, but with all of this said, let's get into it!

Great list as always! I think Maneater would be a good fit. You’re not explicitly evil but the game does revel in the joys of chomping on swimmers.

@cowboyjosh I initially didn't include it since I remember that the bad guys were shark hunters or something like that, but yeah, if you can chomp and bite innocent swimmers and other sharks, it should count. Thanks for the suggestion and thank you so much for the kind words! It truly helps in motivating me keep making this and I appreciate it a lot :DDDD
It's a spoiler but idk if sotc would count. If you know you know

In the faith series there are several moments when you can play as the demon

@NOWITSREYNTIME17 Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh very good one there! Better to not go too much into detail for anyone that hasn't played it, but yeah, it counts. Thanks a bunch for the suggestion! :))))

@moschidae Oooh, also very good addition, I'll add it right away! Thank you so much! :D

Some recommendations that I think apply; Plague Inc. for sure, in Star Wars the Force Unleashed, you play as the bad guy for the majority of the game, so maybe?, Star Wars Tie Fighter possibly, Shadow of the Colossus possibly, Untitled Goose Game might count lol. I'm not sure how many of these actually fit but perhaps worth looking at.

listing off asymmetrical multiplayer games that are in the same branch as Dead by Daylight: Predator Hunting Grounds, Unfortunate Spacemen, Among Us, First Class Trouble, Crawl, and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

@Kago Untitled Goose Game is just too funny to not add it XDDDDD. The only once I have doubts with is The Force Unleashed, since while yeah, you are a Sith, to my knowledge the game is a bit more nuanced than that, tho I could be completely wrong. Anyhow, I'll add the rest in a moment, thank you so much! :DDD

You might as well include at least one Godzilla game since... you know.
Live A Live has one secret chapter where you play through a "What if..." scenario where you play as the main villain and essentially win.
Blood has an incredibly self-centered protagonist who, Caleb, fights only for himself and will not hesitate to kill innocents if they even slightly inconvenience him.

You know you could also add Mortal Kombat as a whole, since goddamn are those fatalities horrifying and torturous (and kind of funny).

7 months ago

@AlphaOne2 Good call on the Godzilla thing, don't know how I forgot about that xD. I'll add everything, including Mortal Kombat since it can get really cruel at times (and some of the fighters are really terrible people xD). Thank you so much for the suggestions! :DDD

In Goat Simulator you can turn into a huge massive whale for no reason, in SCP: Secret Laboratory you can play as an SCP and in The Suffering you can transform into a big monster to kill enemies easier.

@paqgamer_ You had me the moment you said Goar Simulator XDDDD. I'll add all of those in a moment, thank you so much!

I mean I guess these are all kind of relative but here goes: Attack, Donut County, Twelve Minutes (I think? it's been a while) PVZ GW, GW2, Battle for Neighborville (if you count these I guess League of Legends kind of works too?), INSIDE, Hotline Miami 1+2. These I haven't played but maybe they count? - Manhunt, Downfall, Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs. There's also Party Hard 2 and Lucius has some sequels as well if you want to add those.

^ "attack" at the beginning there was from Tales from Space: Mutant Blobs Attack, I didn't ctrl+x the whole title

7 months ago

I guess the Carmageddon games would work too

7 months ago

And Undertale if you go for the genocide run

7 months ago

@Leszczyn I'll have to check some of this, since games like Undertale wouldn't count as I'm taking into account games in which you can only be evil, and in Undertale that's very much a free choice. Still, some of these fit here for sure and I'll add them in a moment, thank you so much! :D
