  2. 2Far Cry 4 (2014)Far Cry 4 (2014) 7.6/10 on IGDBReleased 18 Nov 2014Pagan Min can sound like a charming host while his soldiers terrorise Kyrat.

Troy Baker's performance makes the attention seductive without erasing its possessiveness.…0

  4. 4Dragon Age: Origins (2009)Dragon Age: Origins (2009) 8.6/10 on IGDBReleased 3 Nov 2009Loghain's determination to protect Ferelden is rooted in a history of occupation, making his fear of foreign power coherent.

  6. 6Tyranny (2016)Tyranny (2016) 8.4/10 on IGDBReleased 10 Nov 2016Tunon treats law as the answer to chaos, and your job initially makes you an instrument of that answer.
