In the realm of bad endings there’s a lot of different kinds to cover off on, there are the ones that follow amazing games, the ones you earn yourself via bad choices, and ones that just feel massively lacklustre.

Here, we’re taking a look at the endings that were worse than disappointing. These endings were actively so horrible and frustrating that we’re still thinking about them, we’re still mad, and we hope we never see anything like them ever again. Whether because of a horrible narrative direction or a conclusion so awful it ruins the entire game that came before, these ones seriously sucked.

Of course, we are talking endings here so there will be spoilers ahead but I’ll try to keep the titles vague.
