10 Most Unique Ways You Can Be Killed In Video Games

5. Suffocating In A Chest - Binding Of Isaac

As anyone who has so much as seen a two-second clip of Binding of Isaac can confirm, it's a weird, weird game. When you're killing laser-shooting buttholes inside your mother's womb, there's little chance you can say you're playing another regular video game.

So it's not entirely surprising that it also contains one of the most messed up and unusual deaths in video games. And it's all the more messed up because you actually get it when you win.

Because a whole lot of your victories in Binding of Isaac lead to "victory cutscenes" that see you die in gruesome manners. While exploding is pretty bad, the worst has to be the most conventional, as many of these variant scenes revolve around Isaac suffocating in a chest he locked himself in while attempting to escape his mother.

Also, crucially, the character you are playing as - Isaac, or any of his various doppelgängers - is a child, meaning your reward for beating the game is to watch a kid who just possibly fought the devil die. It's not the kindest reward, in short.
