8 Video Games That Ended WAY Too Soon

3. Wolfenstein II: New Colossus

Resident Evil 3
Bethesda

If there's one thing that Wolfenstein as a franchise does extremely well, it's let you kill Nazis in brilliantly brutal ways. There's something so satisfying about leveling an incompetent and incontinent Hitler or blasting apart a huge racist war dog, and the endings have always left players feeling like they'd survived the odds and saved the world.

Plus I mean, who else can boast taking down a mecha-Hitler? Very few, that's who.

That being said, Wolfenstein II: New Colossus doesn't exactly end with the impact that many hoped it would, despite being an exceptionally fun ride that finally lets you get revenge on Irene Engel, who apart from being a monstrous pr*ck, also has the dubious honour of actually successfully killing you... almost.

Still, it's time to return the favour and after burying an axe into her skull in rather gruesome fashion, the gang turns to the rolling cameras and address the nation. Calling for a revolution, you watch on in anticipation that you'll finally be able to take to the streets and fight back en mass.... only for the game to end.

Oh.

I get that it's trying to set up for a sequel but at the same time, that's monstrously undone when the game plonks you back in and states, "let's kill all those other generals in levels you've already played... that'll be just as good right... right?"
