What games totally nail the ending? (Gaming)

The most obvious one that comes to mind for me is The Last of Us, which haunts me to this day (and hits me every time I replay the game).


Nothing else compares. The ending of BioShock Infinite blew me away at the time. Halo: Reach's ending is amazing. It was a perfect way for Bungie to end its involvement with the Halo franchise. By turning off a prime game mechanic (respawn), it communicated several things: the realism of the struggle for guardians who can't come back, and a signal the show was over--the first set of lights clicked off before the building goes completely dark.

I just realized I said "guardians" instead of "spartans" above. Something felt off when I was typing, but I couldn't figure out what!
