Video Games With the Best Endings

The Top Ten
1 Portal 2

Are you kidding me? Number 17? Call of Duty games are ranked higher? This list has some horrible games in the top 10. BioShock is great but shouldn't be number one. This game, however, is a masterpiece in its ending. Emotional, funny, and with a musical number - fantastic.

Also, Shadow of the Colossus and MGS 4 are not in the top ten. Horrible list.

Imagine this: you were trapped in a big, underground training prison all your life with no escape or exit. Then, after taking down two mega AIs, you finally see the true light of day. How great is that?

2 Mass Effect 2
3 Red Dead Redemption

As a reward, I shall give you my 5000 dollars.

4 Shadow of the Colossus

The ending was so incredible, I didn't fully appreciate it until I saw the work of Nomad Colossus and his video "Light and Dark." Then I became so curious that I explored all the forums dedicated to this game. This is how, by seeing all the work and how smart the game was designed, it went from one of my favorite games to my favorite game of all time. By far.

5 Spec Ops: The Line
6 Batman: Arkham City
7 BioShock

BioShock is full of chills, and its storyline is so gripping, so of course, the ending is good!

The good ending made me smile like an idiot for an hour.

Amazing game. One of my favorites, for sure.

8 The Walking Dead

You knew it was going to happen eventually, but it was still a blow to the feels when it did.

9 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
10 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

That last battle against Ganon is so satisfying.

The ending leaves you feeling satisfied with what you accomplished - one of the best games ever.

The Contenders
11 Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic

Glad to see this one high on the list. Not only was the writing in this game amazing, but the ending was pure Star Wars. I actually clapped at the end of this one.

12 inFAMOUS
13 Hitman: Blood Money

The first time I played this game, I didn't know I was supposed to get Agent 47 up in the last mission. I cried so much because I thought Agent 47 died and that the wonderful franchise ended. I cried again when I figured out the true ending, because it's such a relief that Agent 47 is still alive and that this amazing franchise would go on.

This game has "the" story that has the potential to craft an awesome movie.

Too bad the movie turned out such a disappointment. Orphans, a girl, so many kills - don't get me started... such a disaster.

14 BioShock 2

Everybody loves BioShock 1 and Infinite, but no one recognizes this game. It's really sad because it's such a good game with a great ending.

The good ending is so beautiful, it's impossible not to cry.

15 Call of Duty: World at War

The music makes me so happy to see those scumbag Nazis finally fall.

16 Okami

I am a DIEHARD Kirby fan, but Okami is easily the best game EVER. If you have a Switch, get the HD version of it. GET THE GAME. You have never played it, I bet, but I guarantee that this will be your new favorite game. I love this game so much, and the ending somehow manages to top it all.

I love the happy Kirby endings. I love Undertale's true ending. The Portal endings are HILARIOUS. But Okami is somehow even better. If you play it, you will love it. That's how this game works. You play it, you love it (although Issun is kind of a jerk...). Just get this game.

17 Mother 3
18 Undertale

(SPOILERS) You will never find an ending more satisfying and wholesome than Undertale's True Pacifist route. All the characters are content, and Frisk (the main character) gets to live a happy life with friends on the surface world. The game's end credits display the wonderful conclusion to the entire story. You would expect a lengthy ending to be cheesy, but it is completely gratifying and touching. Toby Fox is a genius for making an ending this good, making you feel guilty about resetting. This ending adds so much to the life of the game. I like Portal 2's ending, but it is nowhere near the perfection of Undertale's True Pacifist. Don't believe me? Then get the ending yourself to find out.

19 Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty
20 Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

This is the greatest ending in the series and honestly in all of fiction. Abe started as a slave and discovered Mullock was trying to kill the slaves. He escapes and uncovers the horrible things he and all his fellow Mudokons had done, chopping up innocent animals. He overcomes trials, and his chant gains power. He returns to RuptureFarms, saves the others, but finds himself in a certain death situation. However, because he did good things, good things happen to him, and the slave becomes the Messiah. As great as the other good endings in the Oddworld series are, this one takes the cake. It's a shame the best ending on the list is ranked the lowest.

21 inFAMOUS 2

The two greatest endings ever. After watching both endings to the game, I almost cried. In the good ending, it's really sad that Cole dies, but it's epic when the lightning hits the boat. In the evil ending, it's sad when Cole kills Zeke, who had been his best friend for, well, forever.

22 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
23 Tomb Raider: Legend
24 The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
25 Ratchet & Clank Future: A Crack In Time

Starting from after you beat Dr. Nefarious, you will experience multiple emotions in the next 10 or so minutes.
