Top 10 Surprisingly Dark Video Games

The Top Ten
1 Conker's Bad Fur Day
2 The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
3 Mother 3
4 Super Paper Mario

And this is one major reason why I, The Ultimate Daredevil (aka Kieran Glen Harris Stark) used to bash Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door/Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time's successors (I give these games a fairly positive reception these days) in favor of Super Paper Mario/the original Paper Mario/Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story's predecessors (I would give all these underrated classics a near-perfect reception).

A dark game with a beauty all its own. But even in the darkest night, one can find light.

5 Super Smash Bros. Melee
6 The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
7 The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

I think that the most darkest part was the haunted and creepy music Hyrule Castle on the way to battle Ganondorf. But that’s why I enjoy it.

8 Borderlands 2
9 Earthbound

Giygas take me forever than 80 hours... and this is the scariest of my childhood trauma...

Giygas is Nintendo's darkest boss yet

10 Undertale
The Contenders
11 Metroid
12 Super Smash Bros. Brawl
13 Metroid Fusion
14 Fire Emblem
15 Five Nights at Freddy's
16 Cave Story
17 Final Fantasy VII
18 Psychonauts
19 Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door

Shadow. Queen. Peach.

20 Shadow of the Colossus
21 I.M. Meen
22 Half-Life

The alternative ending is what really shocks me

23 Super Mario Galaxy
24 Heavy Rain
25 Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

It's Castlevania. It's supposed to be dark.
