10. Red Dead Redemption 

Red Dead Redemption 的结局既令人满足又令人心碎。约翰·马斯顿在耗尽全力击败游戏反派后，回到家中重建家庭和生活。然而，事态突变，一群执法者背叛了约翰。他寡不敌众，拼命保护家人，在被杀之前尽可能多地射击敌人。幸运的是，玩家将扮演约翰的儿子，向下令杀父的恶棍复仇。

9. The Last of Us 

The Last of Us 完美呈现了生存恐怖类游戏的紧张与绝望感。在后末日的世界中，主角乔尔必须护送名为艾莉的女孩横跨全国，以阻止病毒蔓延。艾莉对该病毒免疫。不幸的是，艾莉最终必须牺牲自己的生命来制造治愈剂。她被绑架并送往安全设施进行研发。乔尔冲进该设施试图救出艾莉，却不得不在拯救艾莉和拯救人类之间做出抉择。乔尔选择了艾莉，并向她谎称她的死亡并非必要。这个结局在玩家心中产生冲突，因为他们被迫看到乔尔将艾莉置于人类未来之上。

8. Silent Hill 2 

Silent Hill 2 为玩家提供了五种可能的结局。其中最常被接受的是“水中”结局，主角詹姆斯·桑德兰据称自杀溺水以与妻子重聚。随着游戏进程，你会发现詹姆斯实际上杀死了妻子玛丽，这与之前的设定相悖。最初人们认为玛丽是因疾病去世。争议在于詹姆斯是为了减轻玛丽的痛苦而杀她，还是为了摆脱照顾她的负担而下手。这两种可能的结局为玩家提供了更为个人化的体验，邀请你探索不同的结局与动机。

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. He’s afraid your return could encourage others to leave the vault because he had put you on a suicide mission.
