Hitting you with yet another surprise here in our top slot, that sometimes it’s not as nuanced as a terrible game having a great ending or a great ending coming out of a terrible game, sometimes it’s just a good old fashioned awful ending to an awful game.

It’s well known that 1999 N64 action-adventure Superman 64 isn’t just bad, it’s practically infamous for how shitty it is. But we’re not here to pile on to the poor reviews, we’re mostly concerned with the ending which is shocking. You’d think a superhero ending wouldn’t be tricky to pull off, good guys win, bad guys lose, right? Apparently even that was a bridge too far for these game writers who decided Superman 64 would round out with a quick well done for saving your buds but then an addendum that, and I quote, “In the real world, Lex is still there.”

Then the credits roll. So basically, you kind of won, but also you achieved nothing and wasted your time finishing a bad game to reach a bad conclusion. Boo.
