Psycho-Pass
Psycho-Pass a cyberpunk psychological thriller anime series that has received critical acclaim across the world. The story follows a dystopian world where the citizens are monitored for their perceived criminality potential. This information is stored in what is called a Psycho-Pass. The Psycho-Pass’ hue dictates the score a person receives. When people reach beyond the threshold they are tracked down and apprehended or decomposed on the spot, based on severity.
We follow the journey of Akane, a rookie inspection within Unit One. Accompanied by an aide named Shinya, the stories follow their investigation and struggle against a criminal mastermind. The theme was somewhat replicated in Psycho-Pass 2, albeit with some changes. Akane is a very important character in the series, which saw another sequel titled Psycho-Pass 3.

Originally developed for Xbox One, the developers released a port for PlayStation 4 and PlayStation Vita, accompanied by a PC port through Steam. The Xbox version of the game, however, wasn’t localized.
