8 Powerful Video Game Endings You Had To Die To See

5. Lose To Kronika And Reset Time - Mortal Kombat 11

As arguably NetherRealm's finest fighter yet, MK 11 also came with some of the best action and martial arts choreography ever captured in a video game.

Seriously, the story and its Aftermath expansion is a blur of high-kicks, spins, counters and Shang Tsung hands slicing robots in half, and it couldn't be better.

When it comes to why all these things are happening though, that's where Kronika comes in. An all-powerful ruler of time that mostly sat in the background during the preceding titles, you can get fatality'd by her if you lose multiple times during the final fight.

Playing as Fire God Liu Kang, just repeatedly lose in these ultra important duels, and Kronika will slice off your head, restarting time for her "New Era" in the process.
