10 Intense Video Game Endings That Blew Us Away

If you haven't played Brothers: A Tale Of Two Sons, you need to change that before reading any further. Seriously.

This expertly crafted adventure game stars a pair of brothers who take a journey to find the cure for their father's illness, with the player maneuvering each of the brothers with one of their controller's thumbsticks.

It's a genius concept for traversal and puzzle solving, though has a more devastating utility in the game's final sequence when the older of the two brothers, Naia, is mortally wounded by a giant spider.

Naia promptly dies, leaving the player to take solo control of the younger brother, Naiee, for the final sequence. As if that's not brutal enough, you're then tasked with burying your own brother, alone, before returning to your father.

This isn't the game to play if you're craving a laid-back, feel-good time, but as a depiction of brotherhood in gaming, its power is virtually unparalleled.
