Top Ten Saddest Video Game Endings

To the Moon​
To the Moon​

Creating a game that will 'make the player cry' has been something developers have attempted for years. Usually, those efforts bomb horribly, coming off as insincere - but every so often there are great successes. We've assembled the games that have caused up to tear up, sniffle, or outright break down and sob.

Gone Home​
Gone Home​

You remember the ending of The Sixth Sense, right? It's kind of like that, except you also find out you were a terrible father. Final Fantasy 7 catches up on that whole 'mortality' thing. Death isn't really all that frightening in a video game, especially an RPG.

Spec Ops: ​The Line​
Spec Ops: ​The Line​

19 Spec Ops: The Line. I can safely say I have only cried in a few games. Two or three. This is one of them. This game is one of them. There are tough moral choices which you think you made the correct one and then boom. A sad moment. The problem is that the reason it is sad was because you did it.

Firewatch​
Firewatch​

The saddest video game endings are the ones that work hard to undo all the effort we’ve put into the video game up until that point. And boy, did InFamous 2 deliver on that front. The ‘good’ ending has you brutally murdering all the other conduits (superpowered beings) in cold blood before biting the dust yourself.

Max Payne​
Max Payne​

Not just by the ending, but the whole game was a cold depiction of black mail, and one man’s quest for redemption at a high cost. Playing that game felt like you were alone, whether you were defending rebels from a tyrannical leader, to saving your friend from being hung, or to losing yourself in Tall Trees, becoming the hunted.

Metal Gear ​Solid 2: Sons of Liberty​
Metal Gear ​Solid 2: Sons of Liberty​

To call Metal Gear Solid sad would be an understatement. It is a mopey teenager of a game, staring out the window listening to shoegaze and brooding about our slow species-wide slide into nuclear oblivion and the tragic (but sometimes beautiful!) futility of existence itself.

Horizon Zero ​Dawn​
Horizon Zero ​Dawn​

Thankfully, Horizon Zero Dawn is a real labour of love, more than deserving of all those 5 star reviews. Its allure is routed in simultaneously tackling a number of nuanced topics, ranging from delving into protagonist Aloy's parentage, the underground, forever-mysterious 'Metal World', and how the surrounding environment became populated by ferocious robotic dinosaurs.

Braid​
Braid​

There are some games that sneak right past you and hit you in the feels when you are not looking. The funny fine print about these games is that they often end up being some of the most memorable games we ever end up playing. A happy ending can be great and make you feel like you achieved something, but a sad ending can stick with you for life.

Soma​
