The birth,and death of everything, the life steam. The sacrifice of innocence. That game is full of loneliness from Cloud, wanting to be something but failing then hiding his failure and developing a new personality from false memories to cope. Reconnecting with his childhood love who loves him while he has affection for someone else just to lose that someone else, then being taken care of by his childhood friend who helps him remember who he really is and accepts him as he really is, not as the fake persona he had at the beginning of the game.
FF 7 should be on this list. I played What Remains of Edith Finch on a personal day I took off work and cried my eyes out and then felt better after, it was one of the first times I felt like playing a game was therapeutic. Oh come on. How is Red Dead Redemption 2 not even on this list?? That shit destroyed me. Totally agree. RDR2 is one of few games that had me bawling that I even had to take a few days off playing it lol. Maybe FEAR2 with the story of Alma and how she had her children taken from here — it makes you understand her rage.

Mordecai and Miriam are not the typical characters normally found in an erotic thriller. Mordecai is a rigid rule enforcer who has a lot of strange quirks and devilish kinks and he loves to wager on everything. They agree to study each other for the purpose of proving their thesis statements.
Nov 10, Cbone rated it it was amazing. Everything about it was so well thought out and amazingly written. It was dark and incredibly intelligent. Miriam and Mordecai are deep, damaged and smart characters. If you like a little horror and love a lot of romance From the opening chapter, you learn that Mordecai is slightly Both are postgraduate students from the same college and, as fate would have it, they both have something the other needs for their thesis study.
So you'll begin to think that this will is a new adult romance between the OCD guy and the nerdy girl, however, this is Lucian Bane you're dealing with and reading so don't be surprised when things veer off the beaten track and head into murki From the opening chapter, you learn that Mordecai is slightly So you'll begin to think that this will is a new adult romance between the OCD guy and the nerdy girl, however, this is Lucian Bane you're dealing with and reading so don't be surprised when things veer off the beaten track and head into murkier, more dangerous waters.
Mordecai draws Miriam into his games, ones he has meticulously laid out, only to realize that Miriam isn't as clueless as she appears forcing him to step up his diabolical campaign.
This is a twisted tale of power and control, healing and faith. Of what happens when light and dark clash. Does the light win out and banish the darkness, exposing all of its secrets or does the dark overwhelm the light, leaving a treacherous trail to follow? Bane's characters are complicated from the outset. On the surface, Mordecai appears to be a man of the world, respectful even when he disagrees but with particular quirks and odd behaviors.
The story progression, combined with his inner musings reveals a nefarious personality with a cunning, calculated plan. Miriam's seemingly naive, hapless persona conceals a core strength borne of past hurts and steadfast faith. She relies on God and belief in herself to lead her where she is supposed to be. Mordecai and Miriam are evenly matched in strength and intelligence, a counterpart for each other.
Sadistic Games focuses entirely on the two leads as they battle to learn each other's secrets and get to the heart of who they are. This is an erotic thriller so they are no shortage of heat filled scenes, nor will you be disappointed in the unique plot twists and turns as Bane puts his characters through a delightfully devious tale.
There are points that will make you gasp and read from between your fingers and points where you will think you have a handle on what's happening when you really don't but at no point will you want to put it down. May 13, Lizl rated it it was amazing. Unlike anything I've read before As the title suggests, this is not a light, easy read. This series is filled with vivid detail and the plot is fast paced.
It will challenge you and make you think, but it will also take you through the whole spectrum of emotions while you fall in love with Mordecai and Miriam. Rest assured though that the ending is totally worth every minute spent reading and that you will find Lucian Bane's writing as addictive as I do.

One of the best authors, this story will keep you turning the pages. I love Mordecai and Miriam, the relationship is very in depth and as you read the layers get pulled back.

A true roller coaster ride! I laughed, I cried, and at one point I got so angry that I threw my phone across the room.
Miriam is a force and possibly an angel while Mordecai is a sociopath and possibly the devil Their chemistry is off the charts The story is amazing I have a new favorite author! View 1 comment. Mar 19, Lynette rated it it was amazing. Added it. Mar 19, Heather Snyder rated it it was amazing. It sounds so good! May 26, Cathy Dionne rated it it was amazing. Mordecai and Miriam have amazing chemistry that explodes off the pages. The way Mordecai and Miriam tested out their experiments on each other at times are twisted and other times are ice melting hot.
Miriam and Mordecai each gave their best and worst to each other. A Dark, Debauched Romance with a fair slice of religious instruction thrown in for good measure?!? I found it to be intriguing, interesting, and perplexing. Mordecai is a sadist. Correlating the data, while making wagers about which way his life will go.
The light to his dark. Cue the battle of the wills as these two argue about all things, but specifically about religion. While Mordi, get under Miriam skin literally screwing her into submission Miriam becomes psychologist to Mordi, underlying condition, digging further into his psyche.
Mordecai is determined to debauch, debase, degrade Miriam, bringing her over to the dark side. Having her submit to him completely. At times I just wanted to punch the smugness away.
But Nope.
