Serial Killer Games/Simulators
Any help finding a game about being a serial killer? Not GTA or COD games, that's mass murdering as a soldier. I mean being a citizen in a city or something and you stalk your victims and kill them

Yeah I've heard of Hatred and tbh that game is just the most gothic edgy angry kid at the back of class kind of game. Also yes I like to do that in the fallout and skyrim games, mods make the possibilities endless
Hitman if you play it right.

None of those are really what I'm looking for. I am looking for more of a story driven game about a serial killer or mentally disturbed who kills people, not something like assassins creed where you're fighting for an organization in the name of freedom or whatever

The controversy surrounding the game stems primarily from the graphic manner in which the player executes enemies. In 2007, former Rockstar employee Jeff Williams revealed that even the game's staff were somewhat uncomfortable about the level of violence; "there was almost a mutiny at the company over that game".[26] Williams explained that the game "just made us all feel icky. It was all about the violence, and it was realistic violence. We all knew there was no way we could explain away that game. There was no way to rationalize it. We were crossing a line."[27]

The violence in the game drew the attention of U.S. Representative Joe Baca, who was the sponsor of a legislation to fine those who sell adult-themed games to players younger than 17. Baca said of Manhunt, "it's telling kids how to kill someone, and it uses vicious, sadistic and cruel methods to kill".[28] The media was also drawn into the debate. For example, The Globe and Mail wrote "Manhunt is a venal disconnect for the genre. There's no challenge, just assembly-line, ritualistic slaughter. It's less a video game and more a weapon of personal destruction. This is about stacking bodies. Perhaps the scariest fact of all: Manhunt is so user-friendly that any sharp 12-year-old could navigate through the entire game in one sitting."[29]

Toronto Star writer Ben Rayner, however, praised the relevance of the game, defending its violence and graphic nature as very much a product of its time, and condemning calls to have it banned;

As entertainment and cultural artifact, Manhunt is totally disturbing. But so is the evening news, the "I'll eat anything for money" lunacy of Fear Factor and the unfettered, misanthropic gunplay of Bad Boys II, so I will defend until my last breath Rockstar's right to sell this stuff to me and anyone else who wants it. ... Do I think games such as these could have dire psychological consequences, particularly for young people? As always, I remain agnostic on the matter. Who knows, really? The debate will never be resolved. The American military obviously thinks there's something there: The troubling new TV ad campaign for the U.S. reserves lures potential young soldiers with tales of adventure accompanied by blatant, video-game-styled animation. And, curiously, no one has complained about or tried to ban SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs, in which stealth and killing figure even more heavily than in Manhunt.[30]
Good luck tracking down a copy.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/4720/Condemned_Criminal_Origins/ I can't really "recommend" this game, and it's mostly known as a hobo murder simulator. Plus it was just on sale for around $3, and in my opinion was NEVER worth the $14 it's currently priced at. I do understand you're looking for murder rather than contract killer games.

Hatred is the way to go.
