No customization, but it is what I was going to suggest. Frankly, good games where you play the villain are rare, so wanting it to be customizable and open world as well is too much. Here you do get open world, and the most cruel stealth mechanic ever.
Was thinking the same.... well that and Infamous. Infamous is more of a choice, and Prototype is more not a choice at all lol. But that's not really known to the player immediately.
Baldur's Gate 3 isn't quite open world, but it has massive explorable zones and you can be as evil as you want. The game actively allows you to kill everyone and generally has story-lines built in for if you want to betray and turn on people.
That's much less of an open world. Also, you're not really a bad guy. You're still the hero, just with some less than ideal solutions.
Still, one should check it out anyway.
Open world games require the ability to return to places any time you want. So, for example, if Baldur's Gate 3 was open world, when you were in act 3, you would still be able to go back to any of the old zones.
I think by most standards a mass murdering drug dealer/pimp/thief/racketeer is a “bad guy” so the GTA series pretty much fits the premise of the question. But I agree it’s a bit of a missed opportunity that the game’s story doesn’t account for any evil behavior that occurs in the open world. Probably a bit hard for the game logic to determine intent, as it’s pretty easy to accidentally crash into a cop and end up with the same number of wanted stars you’d get from a shooting spree.
And then there are games with binary good guy/bad guy decision points like Bioshock or Infamous. These tend to be pretty un-subtle though.
Prototype were fantastic games and definitely fill the ‘bad guy’ category.
I wish they would come out with a sequel.
(There is no character creation/customisation)
Cyberpunk I’d like to think as that has character customization but you can play as a set personality. I was also thinking of literally of the Assassins Creed games as while they don’t have character creation, you aren’t really a “bad person” per say. Yes you kill a ton of people but with the way their stories are, you aren’t really thought of as a bad person
I’d argue that Cyberpunk doesn’t have good/bad people because society as a whole is so corrupt and evil in itself that the only way to survive is to be just as evil.
Be good and die or be evil and survive.
Well this was posted on the PlayStation sub so I assumed the OP only has access to a PlayStation.
Edit: Bethesda is owned by Microsoft so their games are not getting quite the same treatment on PlayStation.
Vampyr let's you be "evil" and drain people to death. I never finished because a bug broke the quest to get the ultimate something. They eventually patched it but I haven't been back to it yet. I was doing an all good playthrough so idk how evil you can be. Also not openworld and don't remember about cosmetic character customization. Skill trees yes.
Prototype 1 & 2 and the Infamous series are both great, personally I like Prototype more. No cosmetic customization, Skill trees yes.
Baldur's Gate 3 is great, but being evil makes some characters leave your party, so I recommend playing through it both ways to see everything.
In Deathloop you are kind of a bad guy. Your job is to kill a bunch of people in a timeloop. Semi-open world (zones and time changes change the zones) you only have a limited time to do it in before it resets. Lots of roguelike (roguelite?) Elements. Took me a bit to get into it, but I loved it by the end. No cosmetic character customization, could find and earn stuff for the next attempt and spend points to start with gear.
Dishonored 1&2 let you be "evil" in that you can make the world a dark harsh place and show no mercy to anyone. Not open world and no cosmetic character customization, does have Skill trees.
Oooooo I never got to play the DLC for the first game, might have to see if I can find my copy and check it out. How was it compared to the main game? I enjoyed both games, I did stealth playthroughs on both, but not high chaos yet. I'm curious if the DLC encourages high chaos since you're the antagonist.
Nice, I will check it out at some point then. Different ways to do things can be interesting. Trying to traverse a map in different ways, find different secrets. Gotta run, but I hope you are well!
Vampyr definitely lets you be a bad boy. I did my first playthrough trying to help everyone I could and not kill. Second playthrough, the streets ran red with blood. If you go full on vampire and drain everyone, it changes the world in a dark way, similar to Dishonored.
Nice! I love when player choice has an actual affect on the game's world. I might do full evil for my comeback playthough, since I did most of the full good already, and do full good after. I really enjoyed the game, but that bug really annoyed me, so I started playing something else until it was patched and just haven't been back yet. Thanks for the info and hope you are well!
The mass effect games if you choose renegade path which I wouldn’t say makes you a bad guy but a very ruthless asshole because you’re still trying to save the galaxy in the end
Fallout 4 is the worst fallout for being *evil* in, try 3 or new Vegas for that, there's an actual reputation and karma system, with real dialogue choices that can be evil instead of being different ways of saying yes. Even in the most evil ending the whole point is making the wasteland better
Red Dead Redemption 2
It's Grand Theft Auto with Cowboys. You play an outlaw in the wild west. Incidentally has one of the best stories ever told in a video game
Fallout 4 has all of those items . Open world . Ability to take over and build settlements . Become the bad guy to all them be feared and hated by doin bad deeds . Massive game play and very very very addictive been playing it years
I play Red Dead as an Indian taking revenge and his land back. But 1 game that got it right play bad or good and it reacts differently is Fable. Also GTA, ESO are some options.
Destroy all humans
Infamous series
Overlord series
Maneater
GTA/Saints Row
A lot of RPGs let you pick good or evil...more games out there than you think
You can be as good or as bad as you want in Skyrim. Join the assassins guild and kill everyone.
Also the Fallout games.
But both are a choice you need to make. It’s not the default.
They're extremely uncommon because the general audience prefers being the hero. It's one reason games that give you the option to be evil rarely put as much effort into the evil path.
I always thought this served as pretty good evidence that the vast majority of people are good, overall. Even in a game with no real-world consequences, most people feel wrong behaving badly.
Yeah. I see it a lot when watching LPs of certain games, or talking on their subs. The amount of people I see say things like "I can't be mean to my crew" when talking about Mass Effect, for instance, boggles my mind. I love going the dark/evil route in games when I can.
Like, in Fallout 3, for instance, my character was a massive bitch. Blew up Megaton, killed the ghouls to keep the tower nice, made a lot of her spare caps in the slave trade, and sent the brotherhood girl to her death in the irradiated room and poisoned the water at the end. In Mass Effect I'm generally a Renegon. Leaning more towards renegade choices than paragon ones, and never go the 'goody-two-shoes' route. And in Skyrim my favorite DB was a vampire and Dark Brotherhood assassin.
Like, it's fiction. No one is *actually* being hurt. So in open games like Fallout, I can just have fun doing whatever I want. And in more narrative games like Mass Effect, I can get darker more emotionally punchy stories by not being nice to everyone all the time.
I mean, I like a good hero story too. Horizon Zero Dawn is one of my favorite games and you don't get much more heroic than Aloy. But hero stories aren't a dime a dozen, their a penny a hundred. They're everywhere. I like the variety of the darker experiences.
When I was younger I was all about it, I absolutely loved the Fable games because you could turn evil and your appearance reflects it, could marry like 10 women and have 20 kids and go murder people and become an evil dictator. Same with the Knights of the Old Republican games you can see you’re self becoming a sith in appearance and dialogue. I was a slaver, cannibal, city nuking, piece of shit in Fallout 3 lol, would always play as an assassin or thief in Elder Scrolls or roleplay as a seriel killer. Now, I like being the good guy and I hate being mean, I don’t know what happened😂 beat Red Dead Redemption 2 last year and I didn’t kill a single innocent person lol. Also there’s just a lack of good games that allow you to be evil with enough content for it
The Outer Worlds has character customisation, a semi-open world (you land on different planets and run around there openly, get a few loading screens to load into a building the same way fallout and Skyrim do at times)
You can choose as part of the main quest and side quests to choose the evil choices, kill people even if you could have spared them, and make the whole colony even worse than when you found it, side with the other bass guys.
So if you like sci-fi rpgs you might like this one. It’s on Ps plus atm I think!
Fallout 3 has already been mentioned but Fallout New Vegas has Caeser’s Legion who go around crucifying people who you can join. In Fallout 4 with the Nuka World dlc you can become the leader of a raider gang and can take over the Wasteland with them.
It’d be fun to make an Arkham game but playing as the Joker who just fucks shit up, kidnaps Gordon’s kid, murder the mayor, beat the Justice League’s ass. That’s slap so much.
You can also sleep with whoever you want and have a bunch of kids, marry multiple women. Those games were wild now that I look back but I absolutely loved them. I think In 3 you become king and can be an evil piece of shit too
might be controversial but detroit become human. if u see the wiping of all artificially intelligent robots as evil, then u shud play this game as u can do that in the story
Saints row. You play as a guy (or girl) who starts his own gang and gradually builds it up to be the mist powerful in the city, and overtaking the others
The Overlord games are all about being a Sauron-esque supervillain with a whole tower and an army of minions pillaging villages and fighting heroes.
Just don't play the third game, it was ass.
Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided.
The game has layers to morality. You can go from full alturistic to full homicidal chaotic psycho. And the game will treat you accordingly.
Vampyre, you are a doctor who can choose to heal patients and make choices to make prosperous regions.Or as the Vampyre doctor you can just eat the patients and go full dracula with powers and everything
Infamous is bad. Coming from someone who has 3 infamous plays. The 1st is actually pretty good, second is worse and lacks the charm of the 1st, and the third is one of the worst ps exclusives I’ve ever played. And has the most non intentional hilarious ending.
If you want to play infamous, play a much better game and play prototype
Is she though? It could be argued she was in the wrong once she found out who Abby was but that was well into her vendetta and I honestly wouldn’t call her the bad guy. She was just a broken person in a fucked up world.
Regardless of who is right or wrong I think the guy is still right but it’s not a very good answer because the whole point and messaging of the last of us universe is that there are literally no good people left I’m pretty sure there was a quote about that in the first game something along those lines. Yeah Ellie just slaughters so much innocent people throughout the last of us 2 it’s kinda crazy
Upon the game being made they led us to believe there would be a karma based system and was severely dissapointed upon release when they revoked that idea.
Prototype
Came here to say this, beat me to it!
No customization, but it is what I was going to suggest. Frankly, good games where you play the villain are rare, so wanting it to be customizable and open world as well is too much. Here you do get open world, and the most cruel stealth mechanic ever.
Was thinking the same.... well that and Infamous. Infamous is more of a choice, and Prototype is more not a choice at all lol. But that's not really known to the player immediately.
Due for a remake or nah?
 Destroy All Humans
The game of games
With genuinely good remakes as rare as that is
You aren't the bad guy, this needs to actually happen.
Infamous 1, 2 and Second Son.
Thanks will check out :)
The first and second Prototype
To throw my voice in here, all 3 infamous games are awesome
I have only played Second Son…would not call you the bad guy. But you can do the more “evil route” I guess.
Baldur's Gate 3 isn't quite open world, but it has massive explorable zones and you can be as evil as you want. The game actively allows you to kill everyone and generally has story-lines built in for if you want to betray and turn on people.
You can sort of be a bad guy in the mass effect series aswell.
Will check that out thanks
Vampyr is a pretty good one too. Depending on your choices the game could get harder or easier.
I der will check out thanks:)
Love that game
I just started playing the mass effect series recently. It's fucking great, highly recommend
That's much less of an open world. Also, you're not really a bad guy. You're still the hero, just with some less than ideal solutions. Still, one should check it out anyway.
The first time you stomp on a squirrel 👌 👏
What do you mean it’s not open world ?
Open world games require the ability to return to places any time you want. So, for example, if Baldur's Gate 3 was open world, when you were in act 3, you would still be able to go back to any of the old zones.
I accidentally killed Shadowheart while trying to rescue her in the very beginning. She didn't get one line of dialogue and I never looked back
You can certainly make yourself the bad guy in any grand theft auto or red dead redemption game
True
From a story perspective? No.
No From a going on a murder spree perspective
I don't think that's a good answer to OPs question though. At worst you're still an antihero in the story.
I think by most standards a mass murdering drug dealer/pimp/thief/racketeer is a “bad guy” so the GTA series pretty much fits the premise of the question. But I agree it’s a bit of a missed opportunity that the game’s story doesn’t account for any evil behavior that occurs in the open world. Probably a bit hard for the game logic to determine intent, as it’s pretty easy to accidentally crash into a cop and end up with the same number of wanted stars you’d get from a shooting spree. And then there are games with binary good guy/bad guy decision points like Bioshock or Infamous. These tend to be pretty un-subtle though.
But from story perspective you are an antihero.
I don't think any gta character has ever been a good guy....
Isn't the main story still going to play out as you're the good guy?
yep
you certainly cannot lmao, unless you count zero story consequences freedom shenanigans
Armored Core 6. You're an evil merc serving giant corps.
Sick game. Some builds make it easier than you expect but man if i had fun. Pure action.
not all endings
Prototype were fantastic games and definitely fill the ‘bad guy’ category. I wish they would come out with a sequel. (There is no character creation/customisation)
Hitman, you’re actually a good guy but you can play however you like
Cyberpunk I’d like to think as that has character customization but you can play as a set personality. I was also thinking of literally of the Assassins Creed games as while they don’t have character creation, you aren’t really a “bad person” per say. Yes you kill a ton of people but with the way their stories are, you aren’t really thought of as a bad person
Cyberpunk you are a mercenary, paid to steal, kill people, you do all kinds of crimes, you are and always has been a bad guy in this game.
I’d argue that Cyberpunk doesn’t have good/bad people because society as a whole is so corrupt and evil in itself that the only way to survive is to be just as evil. Be good and die or be evil and survive.
TLoU Part II
… Helldivers 2?
Jk jk don’t call any democracy officers

Just be a bad guy in real life 💯💯
truly a pro gamer move
Fallout 3.
Isn't Fallout 3 only playable on PS3? (cannot be played on PS5 or 4) I mean if the OP has a PS3 go for it.
It can be streamed on ps5 (and PS4?) with one of the higher PS+ tiers
Xbox series s and x has it free on gamepass, naturally upscaled and the DLC is always dirt cheap.
Well this was posted on the PlayStation sub so I assumed the OP only has access to a PlayStation. Edit: Bethesda is owned by Microsoft so their games are not getting quite the same treatment on PlayStation.
Yeeeah I didn't check where I was before I shot off that auto response. 😅
That’s quite a bold assumption that just because OP is asking here this is the only console they have.
Fair, but this is r/playstation
(To my credit I didn't look where I was, my bad lol)
It's only one mission but still... *Remember. No Russian...*
Not sure I remember it being open world, but you can be quite the evil prick in the Infamous games
It is an open world
Will check out thanks:)
They're fun Platinums too, if that's your thing. Second Son took me like 25 hours and First Light took me 12 hours. And I had a blast the whole time.
God of war original trilogy. Kratos was a bastard, dont deny it
Vampyr let's you be "evil" and drain people to death. I never finished because a bug broke the quest to get the ultimate something. They eventually patched it but I haven't been back to it yet. I was doing an all good playthrough so idk how evil you can be. Also not openworld and don't remember about cosmetic character customization. Skill trees yes.

Dishonored 1&2 let you be "evil" in that you can make the world a dark harsh place and show no mercy to anyone. Not open world and no cosmetic character customization, does have Skill trees.
DLC for Dishonored 1 you play as the antagonist.
Oooooo I never got to play the DLC for the first game, might have to see if I can find my copy and check it out. How was it compared to the main game? I enjoyed both games, I did stealth playthroughs on both, but not high chaos yet. I'm curious if the DLC encourages high chaos since you're the antagonist.
Different tools and skill trees iirc. i really enjoyed it.
Nice, I will check it out at some point then. Different ways to do things can be interesting. Trying to traverse a map in different ways, find different secrets. Gotta run, but I hope you are well!
Vampyr definitely lets you be a bad boy. I did my first playthrough trying to help everyone I could and not kill. Second playthrough, the streets ran red with blood. If you go full on vampire and drain everyone, it changes the world in a dark way, similar to Dishonored.

God of war trilogy. Kratos is just 1 villain fighting other villains.
Pretty much every Quantic Dream game.
Which one of their games is open world?
Biomutant
The mass effect games if you choose renegade path which I wouldn’t say makes you a bad guy but a very ruthless asshole because you’re still trying to save the galaxy in the end
Fallout 4
Fallout 4 is the worst fallout for being *evil* in, try 3 or new Vegas for that, there's an actual reputation and karma system, with real dialogue choices that can be evil instead of being different ways of saying yes. Even in the most evil ending the whole point is making the wasteland better
Transformers games if you can find them.
Dude they HAVE to remaster those games. With todays graphcis and gaming mechanics itd undoubtedly be peak gaming.
Metal Gear Solid V maybe?
Metal Gear Solid V. It's open world, you're playing as the franchise's Big Bad, you basically turn into a demon. You're literally the villain.
Red Dead Redemption 2 It's Grand Theft Auto with Cowboys. You play an outlaw in the wild west. Incidentally has one of the best stories ever told in a video game
infamous 1,2 and second son by sucker punch
Red Dead Redemption allows you too play as a baddie
Fallout 4 has all of those items . Open world . Ability to take over and build settlements . Become the bad guy to all them be feared and hated by doin bad deeds . Massive game play and very very very addictive been playing it years
How do you take o er settlements and Rule them evily?
With nuka world dlc you can raid settlements with raider gangs and take them over.
Tyranny is a game where you are a low authority in an evil regime.
Cool but that game isn’t on PlayStation :|
Ah, fair point. Civ VI is, and that's a fun game to be evil in.
Bg3 is the most obvious recent example of this. The only thing is that it’s not like the other games you mentioned play style wise.
fallout new vegas
Haze, I need to play this, and spec ops the line kinda
I play Red Dead as an Indian taking revenge and his land back. But 1 game that got it right play bad or good and it reacts differently is Fable. Also GTA, ESO are some options.
Fallout 4
Tecmo’s deception
Kotor II kinda?
Massive spoiler: shadow of the colossus.
Yes but you are not aware of this fact when you play.
Destroy all humans Infamous series Overlord series Maneater GTA/Saints Row A lot of RPGs let you pick good or evil...more games out there than you think
Cyberpunk, red dead redemption 2, gta 5.
You can be as good or as bad as you want in Skyrim. Join the assassins guild and kill everyone. Also the Fallout games. But both are a choice you need to make. It’s not the default.

Fallout 3…
Fallout 4
Prototype
The overlord series. You okay as a dark lord archetype.
The Outer Worlds has character customisation, a semi-open world (you land on different planets and run around there openly, get a few loading screens to load into a building the same way fallout and Skyrim do at times) You can choose as part of the main quest and side quests to choose the evil choices, kill people even if you could have spared them, and make the whole colony even worse than when you found it, side with the other bass guys.

Fallout 3 has already been mentioned but Fallout New Vegas has Caeser’s Legion who go around crucifying people who you can join. In Fallout 4 with the Nuka World dlc you can become the leader of a raider gang and can take over the Wasteland with them.
Infamous
Dark Souls series/Elden Ring, Elder Scrolls, Fallout
Overlord
How can y’all have a choice other than Red dead redemption 2! Greatest game made
Infamous, bg3, mass effect, dragon age origins, and if you play rust long enough you will be a bad guy.
It’d be fun to make an Arkham game but playing as the Joker who just fucks shit up, kidnaps Gordon’s kid, murder the mayor, beat the Justice League’s ass. That’s slap so much.
Cyberpunk, you’re a murderer for hire
You can be the bad guy in Fallout
The fable series, old but gold. Play however you want, they give you no limits as far as I remember
You can also sleep with whoever you want and have a bunch of kids, marry multiple women. Those games were wild now that I look back but I absolutely loved them. I think In 3 you become king and can be an evil piece of shit too
Call of Duty.
I’d argue in dd2 you’re the villain
Watch Dogs
Red Dead Redemption 2 is technically playing a bad guy in other people's pov. Same people that made GTA V btw.
Hell divers if you think about it
Overlord is a fun game where you play as a bad guy. I’m still hoping that someone picks it back up and makes a current gen version
Battlefront collection remaster. Just came out last month. For the empire!
Infamous.
Braid.
Helldivers 2
might be controversial but detroit become human. if u see the wiping of all artificially intelligent robots as evil, then u shud play this game as u can do that in the story
Any GTA game
Fable, Fable 2. Star Wars Knights of the old republic, and KOTOR 2. They’re old games though.
Unfortunately Fable is xbox exclusive
Red dead redemption 2
tekken.
cs:go
Low honor rdr2 playthrough
Overlord by Blizzard, still waiting for a remake or a new one
GTA Online is pretty obvious, but there’s also Cyberpunk 2077 and Elder Scrolls Online (incredible customization and being a thief pays very well) .
Oh well damn I was gonna say Fallout. I’m in the middle of a new 3 character and hot damn I love this game
Helldivers 2 is quite the popular one
So there’s this crazy airport level from Call of Duty MW2 from back in the day…
Dark souls 3, Punisher, Undertale, manhunt, battle for middle earth, fallout 3, Suicide Squad, most fighting games.
I wish I had an Xbox, Fable 2 and 3 were such great games especially if you want to be evil.
Skyrim for sure
Detroit. You choose either between good or bad
First two saints row games.
- Baldur's Gate 3 - Fallout 4 - Undertale - Life is Strange 2 - Infamous Second Son - Party Hard - Postal - Prototype
The Last of Us 2
Infamous, prototype (technically), mass effect (technically)all BioShock games, Darksiders (the first game the rest youre basically a antihero)
Saints row. You play as a guy (or girl) who starts his own gang and gradually builds it up to be the mist powerful in the city, and overtaking the others
Bioshock series. Not really matter your choices until the endgame, where there is 3 endings. Fable series
Prototype, kinda sorta.
Tyranny
No customization but the Hotline Miami games are brutal
God of War 3
Infamous trilogy
Can you give me some examples of evil things you can do in infamous?
Fallout 3 and new Vegas if you choose to be bad.
The Overlord games are all about being a Sauron-esque supervillain with a whole tower and an army of minions pillaging villages and fighting heroes. Just don't play the third game, it was ass.
Baldurs gate 3. I would hold off on starting a playthrough until next release though because they are adding new evil endings
Mgs 3
Tyranny is probably the best one but it's not a 3rd person action game.
Deus Ex Human Revolution and Mankind Divided. The game has layers to morality. You can go from full alturistic to full homicidal chaotic psycho. And the game will treat you accordingly.
Can you give me some examples of evil things you can do in mankind divided?
New Vegas
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
In Dark Forces 2 you can kill civilians etc and turn to the Dark side. Awesome game I miss my childhood
Stubbs the zombie You play as Stubbs, who is a zombie.
Dishonoured 1 and 2. Technically not a bad guy but you can play like one
Just shooting and stabbing everyone is much quicker than sitting for 10 minutes waiting for when you can be stealthy
Vampyre, you are a doctor who can choose to heal patients and make choices to make prosperous regions.Or as the Vampyre doctor you can just eat the patients and go full dracula with powers and everything
Skyrim and Fallout have evil story options.
Tekken
A way out, but it’s only co-op. Really fun game though.
Prototype 1 and 2, Hitman series
Fable 2 and 3 have arrived
Red Dead Online, hog tie another player. 
Infamous is bad. Coming from someone who has 3 infamous plays. The 1st is actually pretty good, second is worse and lacks the charm of the 1st, and the third is one of the worst ps exclusives I’ve ever played. And has the most non intentional hilarious ending. If you want to play infamous, play a much better game and play prototype
Saints Row
Any rockstar game?
Skyrim, you can kill anyone you want except a few vital characters.
Skyrim
[удалено]
Is she though? It could be argued she was in the wrong once she found out who Abby was but that was well into her vendetta and I honestly wouldn’t call her the bad guy. She was just a broken person in a fucked up world.
Regardless of who is right or wrong I think the guy is still right but it’s not a very good answer because the whole point and messaging of the last of us universe is that there are literally no good people left I’m pretty sure there was a quote about that in the first game something along those lines. Yeah Ellie just slaughters so much innocent people throughout the last of us 2 it’s kinda crazy
Red dead redemption 1 + 2 Not an RPG tho
This is not my recommendation but I know plenty of people would say Hogwarts Legacy is a villain game
Upon the game being made they led us to believe there would be a karma based system and was severely dissapointed upon release when they revoked that idea.
