My thought with Little Nightmares 2 was the Thin Man goes back in time and tries to stop you in order to save you

[iswim]

I am absolutely loving the time stamps! Please make this a permanent thing

Most upsetting plot twist: When you think being an adult means you can play games whenever you want.
When in reality, it's just bills, work and never-ending tiredness

Do NOT recommend growing up

So glad gameranx remains one of the best gaming channels. Keep up the good work

The dog controlling everything is definitely the most disturbing twist of silent hill 2

[MarcJaxon]

"Singularity" has a good twist with the "real" ending. A very underrated game.

[Nakna_ankaN]

When Dom finally finds his wife in Gears of War 2 and then he REALLY sees her. It's not a big twist, but definitely unsettling.

My first play through of Fallout 4 still gets to me. Thinking I'd finally found Shaun and seeing him locked in that tiny room, I was pissed. Father walks in the room, I didn't even talk to him, just shot him on the spot... And then I found out Father was the son. I was depressed for awhile lol

Surprised Bioshock didn’t make this list. ‘Would you kindly’ put it on there for me please.

[jellyfishjig]

The most unsettling thing about Bloodborne, like with many of the more sophisticated takes on cosmic horror, is the ways in which the eldritch beings and humans are actually similar. Malevolent humans and monsters do exist in the setting, but much of the tragedy stems from people (including the monsters), groups, and organizations trying to survive, develope and reproduce/renew themselves in a meaningless world. After all, the power to distort reality into dreamlike layers doesn't mean any of those layers are meaningful or will even go your way.

"Video Games aren't art", show them this video. Crazy how advanced story telling components can be in video games

[thiccorquit]

Sometimes with games I never intended on playing, I find out about the plot twist or the ending of the game and for some reason that makes me want to play it more ? Lol

[SniperCyanide]

Yeah, the type of dad Harry was in "Shattered Memories" actually reflects upon your own psychological profile. There are actually four different types of dad that Harry could've been: The abusive dad, the drunk dad, the weak dad (where basically everyone shit on him and nobody really respected him), and the family man dad (where you were actually a pretty awesome all around guy and caring dad.)

I think we can definitely tell the kind of guy Falcon is because of the endings he mentioned :p

[TooHuman]

I love it when they release the Gameranx vid when my shift's over, thanks guys <3

[greggorious]

Dead space is still one of my favorites of all time, that twist at the end was definitely jaw dropping the first time

[brentkay]

Two of my favorite plot twists is in The Blair Witch when you find out that you are Carver and you continue the cycle, the second one is in fallout 4 when you finally find Shawn and you learn that you’ve been in cryo-sleep for a loot longer then you thought.

[Castorx]

Soma is one of my all time favourite, great to see it was included....I was just shocked in front of the screen just like at Requiem for a Dream ending. Legendary

[Lord_Deimos]

Soma is one of the best and most bleak stories I've ever seen

[iainjames]

Surprised not to see a nod to Shadow of the Colossus here - finding out that you're basically the bad guy and by killing all these majestic giants you've really just doomed yourself is pretty unsettling...

[mobilegamer]

FFX when you find out the truth about Yevon, Tidus and his dad, Auron, and a lot of Spira's residents. Due to a certain part in FFX I still continue to believe that it has to be the real end of the final fantasy story were a timeline to ever be created.
