The ends justify the means (Gaming's best conclusions)

Which games in your opinion feature the most narratively rewarding conclusions, that leave you feeling utterly satisfied as the credits roll.
This can include fully realized character arcs, life-affirming take-aways, climactic final battles that feel properly earned, or anything in between.

I bet you clicked this because you got mad and wanted to see who could possibly think this ending is good. WELL IT'S ME AUSTIN, IT WAS ME ALL ALONG AUSTIN

Gonna weigh in my own suggestions if thats okay, mainly Sly 3 and Ratchet a Crack in Time/Nexus for brining some good fanuxle endings to the series but also Sonic Adventure 2 and inFanous 2 for those endings

The Wonderful 101 is a hell of a ride from front to back, but it has easily my favorite climax in any game I've played. Absolutely legendary shit

The original Fallout's probably my pick for the best ending in any game.

Shadow the Hedgehog
Devil's Third

The original Kingdom Hearts (this one is for real)

Stranger of Paradise: Final Fantasy Origin honestly has one of the most goated endings in recent memory
