10 Horrifying Video Game Truths You Never Noticed

10. Malus Had To Watch You Kill All The Other Colossi - Shadow Of The Colossus

Shadow of the Colossus ends with the devastating reveal that you've killed sixteen innocent Colossi minding their own business, in turn accidentally releasing the malevolent supernatural entity Dormin.

But the game accidentally twists the knife further as players battle the game's final Colossus, Malus, a gigantic, skyscraper-sized humanoid.

The boss is hidden away in a secret area of the Forbidden Land which can't be accessed until the prior 15 Colossi have been beaten - a valley which looks out over the land where you've spent your time throughout the game.

But while atop Malus, observant players might notice that all 15 of the pillars of light - which mark the area where you've killed a Colossus - are visible in the sky, suggesting that poor Malus had to watch as each of his 15 "siblings" were felled by you.

As if this game wasn't heartbreaking enough already...
