10 Most Anti-Climactic Video Game Endings EVER

10. Rage

Set in a post-apocalyptic future, Rage follows a soldier called Nicholas Raine, who emerges from a century-long hibernation. After being targeted by an evil organisation called The Authority, Nicholas realises he's the only person who can awaken the rest of humanity.

Developed by id Software, you'd expect Rage to have similarities to the company's other properties, like Doom and Quake. However, the first-person shooter feels more akin to Fallout or Mad Max, implementing an open-world racing structure and action RPG mechanics. There's also more focus on exploration, vehicle combat, side-missions, and crafting, all of which are handled beautifully.

But if there's one department where Rage drops the ball, it's the ending, or lack of. The final mission involves Nicholas activating a satellite uplink to awaken mankind. Although it'd be fitting to face a terrifying boss before or after, Rage goes against the grain by having Nicholas throw down with... nobody. 

Considering how powerful The Authority is, you'd expect them to have a powerhouse robot or a mutant monster protecting the one thing that secures their grip on the world. But after blasting a few standard enemies and flipping a couple of switches, Nicholas will find he's defeated the malevolent empire.
