25 Most Tragic Deaths In Video Game History

5. Jenny - The Darkness

The Darkness is an underrated little gem of a game, and anyone who has played it will tell you that one of the most unforgettable moments is the death of Jackie Estacado€™s girlfriend Jenny. Restrained by the Darkness, you are forced to helplessly watch as Jackie€™s childhood sweetheart is murdered in front of you. https://youtu.be/YCzYqE7JxrY?t=51s The Darkness is, as its title suggests, a dark game, and Jenny is the only bit of light in the story. She€™s so sweet and innocent, as is her relationship with Jackie, which is quickly and firmly established early on in the game, further aided by stellar voice acting and writing. It doesn't take long to get invested in the story, so when she is taken away in brutal fashion, you feel it. You feel sad, and then sadness turns to anger, which provides great motivation to keep playing so as to see Jackie get revenge.
