Game 3-19



Alpha Protocol (PC/360/PS3) - 2010 - Deadline 5/22/24 11:59EST

Loyalty carries a price and no one knows this more than agent Michael Thorton. A talented young agent cast out by his government, Thorton is the only one with the information needed to stop an impending international catastrophe. To do so means he must cut himself off from the very people he is sworn to protect.





Alpha Protocol is an espionage action RPG developed by Obsidian and published by Sega. The player assumes control of agent Michael Thorton, a new recruit at a clandestine United States agency called Alpha Protocol, which is given unlimited resources to conduct covert operations on behalf of the government. Thorton becomes a rogue agent and must unravel an international conspiracy to stop a war. Players can confront enemies using firearms, gadgets, martial arts and stealth. The game features extensive customization and a dialogue stance system that allows players to select dialogues based on three different tones. CHOICES MATTER.



somebody involved with this trailer really liked Clubbed to Death lol

I loved this game back in the day and played through it multiple times, grabbed the GOG release when they surprise dropped it a few weeks back but haven’t gotten to it yet. Insanely good pick, I’m excited to revisit it.

I remember really enjoying it, especially the plot and writing. It's from Obsidian's "finish a game before release challenge (impossible)" era, so it has some rough edges, but is still charming as hell even with (because of?) the jank. I've read that the GOG version smooths out some issues and I'd imagine there are mods out there to polish it further if you're into that sort of thing.
