Good or bad honestly
The ending of “A Plague Tale: Requiem”.
When the shields on the Arsenal Bird go down in Ace Combat 7. Just the way the music swells and everything.
I was screaming and cheering. Just felt invincible in my beloved F-15E.

What makes thela5 work so well is that the twist works because of the format.
It wasn’t mind control of the main character. It was mind control on the person holding the controller, and it WORKED.
I’m sure I could come up with so many, but these sprung to mind:
- The opera scene from FFVI
- Aerith and Sephiroth from FFVII
- The intro and ending of Transistor “Hey— Red— We’re not going to get away with this, are we?”
- Final showdown with Armstrong from Metal Gear Rising Revengence
- Gustave and Lune argue about whether to continue the mission in Expedition 33. “When one falls, we continue. Not if, when!”

In Far Cry 3 when you kill Vaas by dropping the knife from one hand to the other. No music, nothing fancy, just a look of shock on Vaas’ face.
Hey, you’re finally awake.
The entire ending of portal 2.

From the part where he kills you all the way up to leaving the enrichment centre. It’s all done so well and it made me realise this time there was no fakeout, this was actually goodbye and we will never get a portal 3, not with Chell at least.
Reaching the peak of celeste was an incredible moment for me and the summit chapter is such a good “final” gauntlet. I’ve gone on to beat everything but farewell and the entire game is so well made.
(My thumbs really hurt though)The closest we got officially was this, which at least had Alesia Glidewell getting the chance to reprise playing Chell in live-action.
Tha bit in Mario Kart when you finish a circuit and your guy rides up to the podium and suddenly there’s a huge motherfuckin’ fish and you’re like, “what’s this puffy guy gonna do?” and then ba-boom it fuckin’ explodes and there’s your trophy
So many moments in TUNIC, but the huge one when you find the Holy Cross.

, not even knowing for certain that it’s doing anything but insatiably curious, until you finally hear: “DIIIING…”
It’s very hard to describe and sounds externally like a grueling ARG, but the incremental way the game set that up was actually incredibly fun, and helped to build confidence in that kind of secret-finding.
