games

I like the rimworld ending where it slows to single digit fps and then crashes because I refuse to launch the ship.

(I very seldom bother finishing games)

Outer Wilds. If you haven't played the game, don't look up the ending. It has to be experienced.

Disco Elysium as well.

All three of the Mother games.

Undertale (make fun of me all you want, but what other game finishes by telling you not to play ever again?)

There are tons more but I forget

NieR Automata, True Ending E. I'll never play it again, and I'll never forget it

Off the top of my head, Super Metroid and Braid endings both did something unusual and interesting for their time. Undertale as well, though that's already been mentioned.

Metal Gear Rising Revengeance (I'm counting the entire confrontation with Armstrong here)

Mass Effect 1 (yes I have rose tinted glasses)

Disco Elysium, obviously

This is really making me realize that most video games flub their endings.

The end of MGS2 blew my mind as a teen.

Ocarina of Time and FFX, I remember playing them as they came out and the endings choked me up. Still do.

I really enjoyed the ending to Red Dead Redemption (the first one).

Very true to western style stories.

Some of the original Citizen Sleeper endings are really good, but I think that's muddied now with the DLC which are kind of meh.

Halo: Reach

Serious answer: The vast majority of games that have an actual narrative fumble their ending. They usually start out strong and end half-finished. I guess something like Earthbound and Undertale have a satisfactory ending.

OG FF7 always gets tears from me when Lifestream saves the planet.

1.) Nier Automata

2.) Yakuza 0 and Kiwami tied

3.) Yakuza 6

Each of them, I had streamed and cried. And even when playing on my free time these games give me that nostalgia feeling I hear people always talking about.
