20 Most Intense Video Game Moments Ever

20. Watching Your Own Execution - Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Initially I was going to go with when your abusive father tries to force main-man BJ Blazkowicz into shooting his own dog, but you just can't beat literally being executed when it comes to "Holy sh*t, they're actually doing this?!"

Just how it sounds, come the mid-point of Wolfenstein II you'll get captured and executed by the villainous Irene Engel, though the whole scene takes place from BJ's POV. You'll be lead out in front of the whole world and branded a terrorist as they lock you down - only to look up and see Engel swinging a sword that slices your head off in a few brutal chops.

BJ gargles, your vision goes white annnd, well, the game continues as your head gets reattached to an all-new robot body with a host of upgrades.

But still, WHAT A SCENE.
