In addition to upgradable shells, the weapons you find in-game can also be upgraded and conform to each shell’s specific build (you can be a rogue wielding a war-hammer, but I wouldn’t recommend it). Each warrior shell conforms to various playstyles (knight, rogue, warrior, etc.) and is upgradable as you progress. You control a player character that exists as a specter that can inhabit the ''shells' of dead warriors. Mortal Shell is a Souls-inspired (yay!) third-person action-adventure game that pits you against savage warriors and creatures in a post-apocalyptic world whose inhabitants are a shell of their former selves. Persistence is key for entry number 14, Mortal Shell. Dive into Heavy Rain, the award-winning dramatic masterpiece by developer Quantic Dream which promises to thrill and chill and every turn. The gameplay also includes quick-time events, a grim, tense atmosphere, and realistic characters. These endings can range from being relatively satisfying to downright depressing (it is a game about a serial killer - what did you expect, a musical number?) The game features multiple endings which depend on the decisions you make while in control of four protagonists (Ethan, Scott, Norman, and Madison).

Heavy Rain is an excellent third-person interactive drama game that tells the story of a hunt for a serial killer known as the Origami Killer.


15. Heavy Rainīringing up the rear is the emotionally gripping, narrative-driven gameplay of Heavy Rain. Here are some of the best games that give us that sweet third-person perspective while still making us feel every bit as involved in the story as their first-person counterparts. It gives us a better view of our surroundings, lets us see our main character as a real person other than just a representation of ourselves, and kinda makes us feel like gods sometimes, to be honest. Sometimes this is a good thing, especially when done in video games. In the third person, things just don’t seem so….well, personal. I mean that oh, so helpful perspective that makes our problems seem small and insignificant. Ahhh the third-person, and I don’t mean that weird friend that insists on following you and your significant other everywhere.
