Hack & Slash: Epic Games That Will Unleash Your Inner Anti-Hero

Everybody loves an anti-hero. Afer all, who wants the invincible Superman with the heart of gold when they can have the flawed, self-made “dark knight” that is Batman? We yearn to relate to our heroes, following them every step of the way as they exorcise their demons and save the day. If you're in the mood to dive into the shoes of a tried and true anti-hero, here are couple of epic video games that invite you to do just that.

Dishonored 
Set in the plague-ridden city of Dunwall, Dishonored tells the story of Corvo, personal bodyguard to the Empress of the Isles. Framed for her murder, Corvo is forced to assume the life of an assassin, avenging her death and the crimes against him while searching for her missing daughter. Driven forward by your choices (and made even more epic by the presence of dark magic), Dishonored is a grim and remarkable story of triumph in the face of overwhelming evil. 

Skyrim 
One of the most renowned and beloved video games of all time, Skyrim is the ultimate playground for lovers of flawed heroics. In an icy, war-torn province, you find yourself en route to the execution block for crimes unknown. When the proceedings are interrupted by a massive dragon burning down the surrounding village, you escape and embark on a strange and thrilling life of ancient history, intrigue, and legendary battles. The best part? Your story is entirely in your hands.
