10 Video Games Where YOU Die At The End

10. Red Dead Redemption (1 & 2)

A two-for-one to kick things off...

Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption games are perfect examples of this phenomenon.

Having a unique and nuanced main character to play with in both John Marston and Arthur Morgan, we spend hundreds of hours in their company only for the game to terminate them both at the end of their respective titles.

In the case of the former, Marston is tasked with bringing his former gang mates to justice in return for amnesty and freedom from his old life.

Inevitably betrayed by those whose upon promise he was counting, Marston is confronted at his family barn by an entire squad of assorted gun-toting villainy and, despite his best efforts to keep the masses at bay, eventually goes down in a hail of gunfire.

In the case of the latter, Arthur Morgan's his death is at once less dramatic but arguably more poignant for it.

While there are multiple endings which all result in Morgan's death, the most famous is undoubtedly Arthur slowly succumbing to Tuberculosis.

Sent to collect a debt from the stricken Thomas Downes, Downes intentionally coughs on Arthur to pass on his sickness.

Weakening throughout the game, Morgan eventually lays down and dies alone in the mountains, watching one final sunrise.
