7. Heavy Rain

Heavy Rain was a psychological thriller born out of the mind of game designer David Cage. This game was widely praised back in 2010, although looking at it today it sure did have its quirks. There’s an overabundance of quick-time events for starters, and its serial killer plot is the same clichéd story found in most TV shows these days.

The game does feature some pretty great characters, including Ethan Mars and journalist Madison Page. Like other games from the Quantic Dream stable, this has its fair share of erotic scenes too (actually, Madison is even forced to perform a striptease at some point in the game). She later gets to have sex with Ethan after a particularly heart-breaking moment too. And this scene deserves credit for being one of the few interactive ones we’ve gotten to play through in a long while.

6. Cyberpunk 2077

Many expected Cyberpunk 2077 to be CD Projekt’s magnum opus when it arrived in late 2020. The game, though, shipped in such a glitchy state that it was almost unplayable on last-gen consoles, and Sony even removed it from the PlayStation Store for a while. So exploring Night City (the game’s futuristic setting) wasn’t that much fun at launch, then. But at least the game has superstar Keanu Reeves in it.

Cyberpunk 2077 also has several characters to romance in its dark sci-fi world, such as Panam. Her search for a place in the world (and respect) lead her to a relationship with V, the game’s protagonist. This also leads to a slightly weird, virtual reality-style sex scene that’s nonetheless one of the highlights of CD Projekt’s game.
