5. Smarter Freaks! - Days Gone

Days Gone might never win awards for its narrative, seeing as the most commented-on moment of the story was the extremely redneck wedding and poor dialogue within, but that's not to say that the final twist that players experience in the super-secret post-credits ending was anything short of brilliant.

After completing every hideout, collecting all the tech, and basically acting as a hoover for the hundreds of other small tasks that no one else can be bothered to do, you'll get an invitation to meet with everyone's favorite helmet head O'Brian. Here he presents Deacon with a warning, that while he's been able to stem the tide of the Freaks, the winds of change are about to blow his confident piss in his face. For you see, the Freaks are evolving.

This is something that had already been highlighted earlier on in the game, but now, as O'Brian removes his helmet and shows you his infected face, it all becomes shockingly clear. The enemy is evolving, and "they" are coming. Smarter and still just as deadly, O'Brian represents a new breed of humanity, and as he leaves you can't help but feel like a potato has been shoved right up your tailpipe.
