168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Star Wars: The Acolyte has helpfully split the fandom into three camps: people who love the show, people who have some legitimate critiques, and YouTubers with rent due. But those who have been enjoying it have loved its fresh setting outside of the Skywalker saga as well as its intrigue and exꩵploration of morality.
168澳洲幸运5开奖网♑: 10 Darkest Mo🅠ments In Star Wars Games
There are som♔e pretty terrifying moments in the Star Wars games where you can act as a Sith, e♎ven without being one. Here are some of them.
The unique nature of the show also tends to mean that there are few other ways to get that same fix if you really like it. However, there are plenty of games that contain various aspects similar to The Acolyte. Plus, as a bonus, you don't have to deal with other Star Wars fans (usually).
9 Control
- Developer(s)
- 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Remedy Entertainment
- Platform(s)
- PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series S, Xbox One
The m🥃ystery is a huge part of The Acolyte, and that same feeling of uncertainty and the unknown is on full display in Control. Protagonist Jesse Faden is off in search of her brother 𒁏in the Federal Bureau of Control, and somehow that premise is way more exciting than it sounds.
The surreal mystery and supernatural gameplay of Control is what will reliablꩲy keep your attention, but Jesse herself is a compelling hero whose thoughts and actions may very well remind ♌you of a certain former Jedi. Osha may just start off along for the ride in The Acolyte, but she and Jesse share that drive to find answers.
8 LA Noire
Many games focus on 🥀mysteries, but LA Noire is one of those with a specialty for really picking it apart. Just like how The Acolyte gives glimpses into how the Jedi handle cases, LA Noire revolves entirely around police detectives figuring their stuff out.

If you're in the mood for stark morality and high contrast ♓lighting check out these classic ⛎Noir titles.
Detective Cole Phelps is admittedly a bit of a wet blanket, though that's not the fault of his actor. His story itself can get pretty engaging, much like Osha's own tale of finding herself thrust into the deep end without warning. Fewer devious 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:twins in this particular game, though.
7 Star Wars: Jedi Knight 2:🔜 Jedi Outcast ❀
If you love the idea of seeing how Force-users operate outside of the Jedi order, Jedi Outcast is just for you. It's also for people who like hitting things with lightsabers, which admittedly covers a considerable swath of the population.
Kyle Katarn has some... history with the Jedi. But much of Jedi Outcast sees him finding his way back to Luke Skywalker's new Order. It's also a personal story, as he seeks his old Jedi abilities in order to take the fight to those who took his partner and lover, Jan Orso. That personal touch is sure to feel familiar to fans of The Acolyte.
6 The Last Of U🐟s Part 2
- Developer(s)
- 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Naughty Dog
- Platform(s)
- 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 4, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:PlayStation 5
As The Acolyte went on, themes shifted from Jedi mysteries to the very nature of morality, and The Last of Us Part 2 is nothing if not notorious for making you question your own actions. Whether you're playing as Ellie or Abby, you're never fully okay with what the game is making you do.
10 Most Well-Written Characters In Video Game🧔s
Truly well-written characters will take you on a storytelling journey you never thought possible. We list those𒊎 who stand out as the best.
While The Last of Us Part 2 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:explores how revenge affects everyone, The Acolyte explores what morality means when it's disconnected from the bias of the institutions that teach it to you. Both offer their own perspectives on the idea of evil, and you're bound to come out the other side thinking more. Or crying.
5 Sp🌃ec Ops: The Line 🌠
What's that about morality and questioning your actions? Spec Ops: The Line has entered the chat, so you'd better set an away message. What disguises itself as a typical military shooter soon begins sowing doubt, slowly shifting into the type of game that inspires YouTube essays years later (don't worry, they're the good kind).
It inspires the same feeling in The Acolyte when you realize it's more than just a standard story about Jedi. You might start out the show and the game thinking you're rooting for the right side. But whether you're watching civilians die to white phosphorous or wondering why people are cool with the Jedi taking children, prepare to take a few pauses for thinking time.
4 Prey
Is your favorite part of The Acolyte that cute little sniffy guy Bazil? Of course it is. He's adorable. But is your second favorite part the constant feeling of unease and uncertainty? If so, check out Prey.
Playing as Morgan Yu, you go through Prey unraveling what happened on the space station Talos 1 when a mysterious alien race invaded and wiped out most of the crew. It's no Jedi vs. Sith, but the suspense and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Art Deco BioShock-style vibe is wor🌟th a playthrough as much as The Acolyte is worth viewing for more tha🐻n just Bazil.
3 ⛄ Dishonored 🃏
Picture this: your main character is accused of a crime they didn't commit, then realizes the truth is much more sinister than anyone thought. Also, the people they thought they could trust turn out to be hiding some pretty massive secrets. Sure, that could be every fanfiction ever written that doesn't require content warnings. But it also applies to both The Acolyte and Dishonored.
In Dishonored, you play as Corvo Attano, trying to unravel the conspiracy that framed him for the murder of his empress (and secret lover) Jessamine. Also, you can move stuff with special powers. In The Acolyte, there are fewer secret lovers and more secrets, but even after Osha clears her name, she's still got plenty more surprises, at least one of which involves ridiculously toned biceps.
2 Disco El𝓀ysium
- Developer(s)
- ZA/UM
- Platform(s)
- PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series X, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox Series S, Stadia
There's a unique quality to The Acolyte's storytelling styles, with showrunner Leslye Headland often bringing in deceptively erratic techniques she perfected in her previous series, Russian Doll. Is it just jumping all over the place? Or will it all come together in the end?
You could ask the same question about 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the thought-provoking Disco Elysium, a surreal detective-em-up that dares to say "you're a communist." As you attempt to unravel a murder mystery, you'll quickly find yourself sidetracked by the seemingly random and disconnected lives of the city folk. But you'll be surprised as things finally come together.

Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2: The Sith Lords
- Developer(s)
- 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Obsidian Entertainment, Aspyr
- Platform(s)
- Switch, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Xbox (Original), Windows, iOS, Linux, macOS, Android
One of the most 👍intriguing and magnetic aspects of The Acolyte is how it handles the idea of the Light Side and Dark Side of the Force. The Jedi are usually depicted as the ultimate good, but those watching this show may find themselves doubting that due to some interesting questions from the mysterious stranger.
As both a Star Wars game and a deceptively multifaceted take on morality, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic 2 excels. It takes the black an🍎d white story of its predecessor and sows uncertainty in players with ideas exploring what "Light Side" and "Dark Side" mean beyond simple binary labels. These ideas helped influence The Acolyte, though thankfully with slightly fewer dead friends.
