Recommendations on games in which you don't play as the "good guy". (programming.dev)

Edit: holy shit I turn my head around for one second and I got 40 replies? THANK YOU ALL :D <3

I just rewatched Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy and following Bane's and Miranda's story made me realize that I'm a bit saturated in regards to playing as the hero, the protagonist, the "good guy" in PC games. While I love saving the world as much as the next person, I'd love to play as some perhaps self-righteous villain, or antagonist, or simply somebody portrayed in a way that's meant to make the player sympathize with questionable morality or, at the very least, be conflicted about why you suddenly find yourself rooting for them.

I'm mostly looking for story driven open world single player games, but any recommendations are welcome. :)

I wish there was a reliable way to play this on modern systems. It'd be great to play on the Steam Deck.

I haven't tried to play this game in a while, Im got my other maxis games from that time running on Linux, i guess i will give this one a spin.
