9 Video Game DLCs That Ruined Perfect Endings

7. Far Cry 5 - Hours Of Darkness

Far Cry 5’s Hours of Darkness DLC isn’t bad. In fact, apart from the fact that the ‘hours’ bit is a bit misleading since you’ll probably knock the thing over in 90 minutes, it’s a fairly interesting switch up of the formula.

The DLC takes you back in time to Vietnam where you play as veteran soldier Wendell Redler. On the upside, and it’s almost all upside, there’s loads of stealth gameplay in here, the setting is really fascinating, and it’s a clever twist on what you’d expect from a Far Cry narrative and mechanical formula. That’s all well and good, it only becomes a problem when you factor in Far Cry 5’s canon ending.

You know, the ending where it turns out the cult you’ve been fighting the whole game was right all along and there is in fact a nuclear explosion.

It’s one of those genuine shocker endings that’s pretty darn impossible to follow up. I mean if they couldn’t quite get it right in an entire video game in the form of Far Cry: New Dawn, they weren’t going to be able to top it in a story DLC.
