Video game endings may be some of the best in media, because you can affect them. Nonetheless, my top three are more straightforward, as in

What are your favorites?

Ocarina of Time and FFX, I remember playing them as they came out and the endings choked me up. Still do.
Mother 2 & 3, Fallout: New Vegas, and Fallout 1 will always stick in my mind.
Earthbound is one of my favorites, too!
Off the top of my head, Super Metroid and Braid endings both did something unusual and interesting for their time. Undertale as well, though that’s already been mentioned.
Serious answer: The vast majority of games that have an actual narrative fumble their ending. They usually start out strong and end half-finished. I guess something like Earthbound and Undertale have a satisfactory ending.
OG FF7 always gets tears from me when Lifestream saves the planet.

Xenogears blew my mind when I was young. Soma was really good
Some of the original Citizen Sleeper endings are really good, but I think that’s muddied now with the DLC which are kind of meh.
1.) Nier Automata
2.) Yakuza 0 and Kiwami tied
3.) Yakuza 6
Each of them, I had streamed and cried. And even when playing on my free time these games give me that nostalgia feeling I hear people always talking about.
Halo: Reach
All three of the Mother games.
Undertale (make fun of me all you want, but what other game finishes by telling you not to play ever again?)
There are tons more but I forget
I like the rimworld ending where it slows to single digit fps and then crashes because I refuse to launch the ship.
(I very seldom bother finishing games)
Those 5,000 [redacted] leather cowboy hats aren’t gonna sell them selves.
No I run it as a utopian anarchist commune

NieR Automata, True Ending E. I’ll never play it again, and I’ll never forget it

The end of MGS2 blew my mind as a teen.
