This tends to show up a lot in drafts. Most times the author can clean it up with a revision. Another use of the passive is to draw dramatic effect or a change of pace. Sometimes authors attempt it but end up writing a confusing sentence rather than coming off creative. In games, for sure, the active voice should be used much more than in literary writing.
