Finals are upon us, and I’m sure that you’re all looking forward to winter break.
With how busy this semester has been, it can be hard to find a moment and take some time to relax. So if you’re looking for some video games to play through that have interesting characters and intricate stories, here are some good ones that I highly recommend.
Ace Attorney Series
In this series, you play the role of a defense attorney who must prove that your client is not guilty. Solve these cases with Phoenix Wright, Apollo Justice, Athena Cykes, and a plethora of other wacky characters.
As the defense attorney, you and your assistant will:
investigate the crime scenes, question witnesses, and counter any arguments made by the prosecutors: Miles Edgeworth, Franziska von Karma, and Simon Blackquill (to name a few).
I Was a Teenage exocolonist
You, your friends, and your family are on a spaceship that has crash landed on a seemingly uninhabited planet. This gives you and your friends the chance to explore different paths and discover the type of life that you’d like to live: join the military, go into politics, further scientific development, go adventuring outside the walls, build friendships (or even relationships); there are multiple endings that reflect the endless possibilities laid in front of you.
Every decision in this game matters, reflected by the card-based game mechanics: from your career choices to the choices that can put the safety of others at risk. So choose wisely.
Octopath Traveler 2
Follow the adventures of eight playable characters as they travel the lands to fulfill their goals:
Hikari the Warrior, Agnea the Dancer, Osvald the Scholar, Castti the Apothecary, Temenos the Cleric, Throné the Thief, Partitio the Merchant, and Ochette the Hunter.
As you play through the game, you might start to ask:
Are they really on separate journeys, or is there more of a connection than meets the eye?
