This one's tough. One of my gut reactions is Portal 2, because it expanded on a world that we knew so little about but wanted so much more from. And yet I still feel like I can choose a better one. Amnesia gives me the same reaction, but I haven't played it enough to declare that one the winner.
I think I'm going to have to go with Killer 7 on this one, too. I loved the characters, and the twisted sense of the world in this game. The story really kept up with the idea of twisted, too, because that plot is all mixed up. The world is so convoluted that they released an entire book explaining what the hell happened.
This is your brain on Killer7.
But the game had a kind of flow to it that really fit the atmosphere. You get the idea that even the Killer 7, probably the greatest team of assassins in that universe, is nothing but a pawn in the face of global politics and Illuminati The idea of good and evil gets lost in this whirlwind of activity between the US and Japan. It kind of speaks to the idea that no matter how much you think you know about the world, there's so much that you can decipher through a hundred different lenses that everything has to become new again.
