10 najboljih završetaka videoigara svih vremena

Završeci videoigara pomažu u zaključivanju priče povezujući glavne zaplete i podzaplete. Dok neki nude emotivan kraj, drugi pružaju dramatično rješavanje sukoba. Ali na kraju, oni imaju ključnu ulogu u tome da igra bude uspješna ili propala. Za one koji vole testirati nekoliko sjajnih završetaka, evo 10 najboljih završetaka videoigara svih vremena.

10. Red Dead Redemption

Red Dead Redemption ima jedan od najzadovoljavajućih, a opet srcežrtvovnih završetaka u svijetu igara. Nakon što je potrošio svu energiju da pobijedi antagonista igre, John Marston se vraća kući da obnovi svoju obitelj i život. Međutim, u tragičnom obrtu događaja, grupa pravnika izdaje John. On je preplavljen i trudi se očuvati svoju obitelj. Pokušava izvući što više metaka prije nego što ga ubiju. Srećom, igrači preuzimaju ulogu Johna sina i traže osvetu protiv zlikovca koji je naređivao smrt njegovog oca.

9. The Last of Us

The Last of Us savršeno hvata osjećaj napetosti i očaja u žanru survival-horror. U post-apokaliptičnom događaju, glavni lik, Joel, mora pratiti djevojčicu po imenu Ellie kroz cijelu državu kako bi zaustavio virus. Ellie je imun na taj virus. Nažalost, Ellie mora na kraju žrtvovati svoj život kako bi stvorila lijek. Ubrano je oteta i odvedena u sigurno mjesto za razvoj lijeka. Joel napada to mjesto da spasi Ellie. Međutim, mora odabrati između spašavanja Ellie ili spašavanja čovečanstva. Joel odabire Ellie i laže joj da je njezina smrt bila nepotrebna. Ovaj kraj interno sukobljava igrače jer se prisiljavaju gledati kako Joel daje prioritet Ellie nad budućnošću čovečanstva.

8. Silent Hill 2

Silent Hill 2 daje igračima pet mogućih završetaka. Međutim, najčešće prihvaćeni je „In Water“ kraj, gdje glavni lik, James Sunderland, navodno potopi sebe da bi se ponovno pridružio svojoj ženi. Kako napredujete kroz igru, otkrijete da je James ubio svoju ženu, Mary, suprotno onome što je prethodno pretpostavljeno. Prvobitno se smatra da je Mary umrla od bolesti. Ostatak je kontroverzan: je li James ubio Mary da bi olakšao njezinu patnju ili da bi se oslobodio tereta njezine brige. Ovi dva moguća kraja pružaju više osobnih iskustava. Pozivaju vas da istražite različite ishode i motive.

7. The Walking Dead

The first season of Tellitale’s The Walking Dead offers one of the best experiences in this franchise. It allows players to make impactful choices, giving them a more personalized gaming experience. In The Walking Dead, you assume the role of Lee, who is on a mission to protect a young woman named Clementine. As you progress, Lee develops a strong bond with Clementine. Unfortunately, Lee is later bitten by a zombie, meaning he will transform into one. So, players choose between letting Lee become a zombie or having Clementine kill him before he transforms. It’s one of the most emotional decisions you’ll have to make as a gamer.

6. Batman: Arkham City

The long-standing and iconic conflict between Batman and the Joker is an excellent example of good versus evil. This rivalry has significantly influenced shows, parodies, songs, movies, and video games. In a dramatic turn of events, the rivalry between the two ends in Batman: Arkham City. The dramatic death of the Joker comes when he destroys his cure, trying to kill Batman. Despite his evil, murderous habits, his tragic end evokes a sense of sympathy.

5. God of War

God of War is among the highly acclaimed games of its generation. While the 2018 reboot of this franchise took a huge risk when it tried changing the game’s formula, it finally paid off, probably due to Game of War‘s exceptional narrative. Instead of Kratos going on his typical god-killing spree, he travels with his son, Atreus, to fulfil his wife’s last wish. After Kratos and his son defeat Baldur, they travel to Jotunheim’s highest peak, where they scatter his wife’s ashes. Many believe this is among the most fitting and impactful ways to end the most powerful narrative in the God of War franchise.

4. Portal 2

Portal and Portal 2 offer one of the most immersive and impressive gaming experiences. Their exceptional storyline revolves around navigating the dilapidated Aperture Science Environment Centre when Supercomputer GLaDOS was reconstructing it. If you played the first Portal, you will be surprised that GLaDOS became an ally in Portal 2. However, her motives and trustworthiness remain uncertain. Ultimately, Chellaston escapes from the Aperture Science and enters the real world.

3. Bioshock Infinite

The Bioshock franchise is famous for exploring the darker side of humanity’s nature. The 2013 instalment takes you on a complex journey through different timelines, where, in the end, you must choose who you want to be. The main character, Booker DeWitt, encounters multiple versions of himself in those timelines. Some of the timelines can turn him into the villainous Comstock. In the end, Booker chooses to remain a good man. He lets himself get drowned by different incarnations of Elizabeth to ensure that Elizabeth’s future is protected.

2. The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3‘s base version has about 36 possible endings. However, the most famous one is the one where Ciri becomes the Empress. She is that reluctant yet capable ruler. In the end, Chris and Geralt travel together as witchers. They wander the woods and enjoy their last meaningful moments together. Many gamers feel that The Witcher 3’s multiple endings are meant to provide players with a range of conclusions to ensure they get satisfactory endings.

1. The Fallout

Fallout has one of the best video game endings making you eager for its sequels. In Fallout, your decision will determine the ending. However, the most memorable and heartbreaking ending will happen when you defeat The Master, secure the Water Chip, and return home to Vault 13. The Vault Overseer will be grateful for everything you’ve done but won’t let you re-enter the vault.
