10 Most Heartbreaking Video Game Moments Of The Decade (So Far)
2. Lee's Goodbye In The Walking Dead Season 1
Even seven years later, very few releases have come close to matching the emotional intensity of The Walking Dead's final scene.
The relationship between Clementine and Lee had been the backbone of the entire game, but all that came crashing down when Lee's bitten and begins to turn at the end of the final episode.
Saying their goodbyes to one another, Clementine has the option to either shoot Lee or let him join the undead, but not before he gives her some vital last-minute advice for surviving in this post-apocalyptic world.
It's a devastating moment to cap the game off, but it's made even worse because it leaves players wondering how nine-year-old Clem is going to make it on her own in this new world without her surrogate father figure.
