This list is always under construction. Post your suggestions for other games fitting this month’s theme as a reply here - games from trilogies or with exactly 3 characters to play/switch between during gameplay.
Reply to the first reply if you spot a game that you think shouldn’t be on this list.
You can use revilheart’s Checker to see which games have been added since the last update and which games you own (may need to be updated first).
I won’t count who played how much this month, but please let us know if you’re participating and which game(s) from the list you beat (the first one is enough).
Please note that some games have regional variants (due to violence etc.) - so it may be in your library, but with a different AppID.
Thanks to everyone suggesting games for this theme! <3

Hmm, maybe I should finally play KOTOR…or Trine.
Some trilogies that come to mind:
Small Town Terrors (1, 2, 3)
Enigmatis
Risen (1, 2, 3) <- these are 3rd person games, too
Gothic
Edit: Also, Deep Dungeons of Doom has 3 characters. It’s a pretty fine hack-and-slash dungeon crawler, it was free somewhere at some point, so a lot of people might own it :)
Edit #2: Oh my, how could I forget?! Thief is also a trilogy (1,, 2, 3), if we think of the 2014 game as sort of a “reboot” rather than a 4th game in the series.
Dark souls? :D
Placeholder table, going to update as I play the games for the theme (hopefully I’ll play more than one, haha!)
Game | Status |
Small Town Terrors: Galdor’s Bluff CE | Beaten |
Weird Park Trilogy | Beaten |
Twisted Lands Trilogy Collector’s Edition | Beaten |
Uh, not sure about location, but I will totally participate this time again!
Thank you for hosting, Nelly!
This post will be updated - unless I’m wrongly located, then… not :D
So, I have completed three games:
Small Town Terrors Pilgrim’s Hook CE - no cheevos
Small Town Terrors: Livingston - no cheevos
Small Town Terrors: Galdor’s Bluff CE - no cheevos
- Adam’s Venture Chronicles is a combination of Adam’s Venture Episodes 1-3. In theory any of the four of these could be added?
- Syberia 1-3
- Dreamfall: The Longest Journey: three playable characters
- Hexcells / Hexcells Plus / Hexcells Infinite
- It’s been ages since I played it, but I believe Ceville has three playable characters (and Store page says, “up to three simultaniously playable characters with weird but loveable personalities.”)
- There are several HOGs that are trilogies, I think. Let’s see– Enigmatis, Lost Grimoires, Time Mysteries, Nightmares from the Deep,
Nin’sQueen’s Quest, and probably others.
I would consider TLJ, + Dreamfall: TLJ + Dreamfall: Chapters a trilogy.
That’s probably reasonable, as they are three games in the same universe. If I recall correctly, though, I don’t think the devs thinks of them as a trilogy…Dreamfall: TLJ and Dreamfall: Chapters constitute the “Dreamer cycle” (Zoe’s story), but TLJ is not. But for these purposes, it’s probably reasonable– especially since DF and DFC have three playable characters and so are “eligible” anyway. :)
The three Risen games are (obviously) a trilogy. They are also third person games, so bonus three-ness!
Edit: Another trilogy is the Book of Unwritten Tales series.

The Book of Unwritten Tales games, not quite a trilogy (yet), but there are three of them and you can switch between three characters:
- The Book of Unwritten Tales
- The Book of Unwritten Tales: The Critter Chronicles
- The Book of Unwritten Tales 2
The Danganronpa games are a trilogy as well + a spinoff:
- Danganronpa: Trigger Happy Havoc
- Danganronpa 2: Goodbye Despair
- Danganronpa V3: Killing Harmony
- Danganronpa Another Episode: Ultra Despair Girls
World End Economica has three episodes:
This questionable visual novel has three episodes as well:
Telltale’s The Walking Dead might fit if you consider A New Frontier the third season.
Final Fantasy 13 trilogy:
FINAL FANTASY® XIII
FINAL FANTASY® XIII-2
LIGHTNING RETURNS™: FINAL FANTASY® XIII
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky trilogy:
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky SC
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 3rd
Secret of Mana has 3 main/playable characters
Epic Battle Fantasy 4 also has 3 playable characters
Now to decide which of theses Ill play…
Yeah I was just thinking of the Trails in the Sky trilogy, won the first one and still really wanna play it.
Muv-Luv is considered by many a trilogy: Muv-Luv has part 1 and 2 (Extra and Unlimited), while Alternative is the 3rd
- Abyss Odyssey has 3 playable characters, technically you switch character after you die, and there is co-op pas well (but noone is online 😟)
- Alien Breed has a trilogy (it also has co-op mode but I’m not sure for how many people)
- Bioshock and F.E.A.R. - might be considered as trilogies
No Valve game will fit this theme unfortunately 🙃
Twisted Lands Trilogy - http://store.steampowered.com/app/398630/Twisted_Lands_Trilogy_Collectors_Edition/
If someone is interested, some visual novels in 3rd person narrative that are currently on Steam are (may add more later):
- Brilliant Shadows - Part One of the Book of Gray Magic
- Gahkthun of the Golden Lightning Steam Edition
- Loren The Amazon Princess
- OZMAFIA!!
- Root Double -Before Crime * After Days- Xtend Edition
- Ambre - a heartbreaking kinetic novel
- Asphyxia
- Empty Horizons
I decided to list only vns that are fully in 3rd person narrative, not partially.
If I made a mistake please reply to this post.
Some series that I think are all trilogies:
- S.T.A.L.K.E.R.
- Sniper: Ghost Warrior
- Max Payne
- Brothers In Arms (maybe?)
- Witcher
What about series where all titles aren’t available on Steam?
- Dead Space
- Samorost

A few trilogies that come to mind:
Mass Effect (1,2,3)
Assassin’s Creed Ezio Trilogy (2, Brotherhood, Revelations)
The Mafia series (consists of 3 games but I don’t know if they’re stopping there, does that count? If so, 1, 2, 3)
Isn’t Assassin’s Creed way bigger the a trilogy? Do games count that have more parts then three? O.o
How come nobody mentioned the Half Life trilogy yet? :v
Wouldn’t NieR:Automata fall into the triple characters to play with?
I only started it so I can’t confirm that fact, but I’ve read this online and it is said on this wiki too (but don’t click if you don’t want to be spoiled, I guess?).
And yeah, I just bought it on sale and plan to play it so it would be a nice bonus if it was a monthly theme game as well :D
Would Deponia series count as a trilogy?
I mean if I played the “original” trilogy, so “Deponia”, “Chaos on Deponia” and “Goodbye Deponia”. Apparently “Deponia Doomsday” was only created after the first three games were finished and considered a closed trilogy, so although it’s technically the fourth game in the series, it’s more a stand-alone sequel then part of the “true” series. (It would be nice if someone who played them all could verify this)
And surely-a-trilogies that haven’t been posted by others yet:
Grim Legends which are quite good HOGs that I can recommend.
Grim Legends: The Forsaken Bride
Grim Legends 2: Song of the Dark Swan
Grim Legends 3: The Dark City
Age of Empires is still a trilogy!
The first part isn’t available on Steam
But the iconic second one is
And slightly less acclaimed but still quite enjoyable third
Telltale’s “Hector” has three episodes.
Sacred Citadel is listed, but the “normal” Sacred also has three parts.
Sacred 1
Sacred 2
And very negatively reviewed Sacred 3
Batman Arkham? Aren’t Asylum, City and Knight a trilogy?
Origins doesn’t count as it’s made by different people =P (or does it?)
Darksiders (Warmastered edition), 2 and 3
Lara Croft GO, Hitman GO, Deus Ex GO (Not on Steam)
Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China, India, Russia.
Galactic Civilization I II III
Just Cause, 2 and 3.
Mafia, 2 and 3.
Metro 2033, Last Light and Exodus.
Sniper: Ghost Warrior is a trilogy
Syberia too is a trilogy
Oh, just started The Marvellous Miss Take and you play as 3 thieves (one per time though, can’t switch in the middle of a level)
The Dungeon Siege games:
Maybe the Runaway games?
Runaway, A Road Adventure
Runaway, The Dream of The Turtle
Runaway: A Twist of Fate
Also, Fable:
Fable - The Lost Chapters
Fable II and Fable III are not on Steam afaik
I just completed Zoombinis (end screen), which is the first of a trilogy! Though the others aren’t on Steam.
I beat Grim Legends all the way through two more times in order to 100% it.
Beat Cooking Academy Fire and Knives.
Started playing The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky, but had to put it on hold for now because I’m really not felt well and wanna enjoy it. Still priority to carry on once things improve a little.
Penumbra (Overture, Black Plague, Requiem expansion) is something of a trilogy.
Also, Commander Keen is a “trilogy” I remember enjoying (and even beating!) back in the day. Marooned on Mars, The Earth Explodes, and Keen Must Die! are all part of Invasion of the Vorticons, which is packaged with Goodbye Galaxy in the base Commander Keen game on Steam. As a kid, I never owned Goodbye Galaxy, or any of the further Keen games, so I feel safe in claiming that Invasion of the Vorticons qualifies as a trilogy.
Outside of Steam, there’s also Diablo.
Does Bioshock Infinite count as part of a trilogy? I might start it soon if it does.
So I think Tomb Raider belongs in here since it’s a trilogy (including Rise of the Romb Raider and the upcoming Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and it’s 3rd person. If so I think I’m finally back to participating in a monthly theme :D
Cooking Academy Fire and Knives - which is a pack of 3 different games - Cooking Academy, Cooking Academy 2 and Cooking Academy 3. Annnnd I have completed the whole thing.
