If you get all 120 stars in mario 64 Yoshi can be found on the roof of the castle...
he gives you 100 lives
but, you've already 100%'d the game at this point
SO WHAT FUCKING GOOD IS THAT HUH, YOSHI?
God it's so fucking slick and smooth, best game of the last decade, so well thought out and such a fucking blast, lets you vibe out or nerd out to the exact degree you feel like at any given moment,
fuck
get Hades
How many times to you have to beat it before you get to the actual end? I think I made it through three or four times before I was ready to move to a different game.
10 for the ending
Maybe like 80 or so for the epilogue, and there is still some more content after that. But the epilogue is not even nearly as cool as the ending.
I do recommend getting to the ending. But the epilogue is not really worth it, I did it because I was gonna play the game that much anyway, on higher heat levels.
I loved Disco Elysiums final conversation with the

When you get your shit together:

red dead redemption 2 lets you kill pinkertons and kkk members and both of the redemption games have pretty good endings
I have never had a game make me want to save someone's soul as badly as RDR2 did. I started out as cowboy psycho and by spoiler times I was fully invested in making something go right one fucking time.
exactly. I never have the heart to go full murderous rampage in story mode because part of me thinks I should realize Dutch's Robin Hood ideology but the game has a way of making you examine what you've been doing over the course of your playthrough. those usury missions were hard to watch
Mass Effect 3 with the original end, you'll be surprised how shitty it is.
It was updated and a whole dlc added to give even more info so is pretty satisfying now.
There is even a fan mod that goes further in fixing the ending, I am excited to try it out sometime.

MGS 2 is the goat of endings that fuck with the player. Two games by Yasumi Matsuno in SquareSoft's heyday are Final Fantasy Tactics and Vagrant Story, both have nice little twists at the end.
Oh yes, FFT has a low-key ending, but it's absolutely crazy with what happens.

"...and then he was burned at the stake."

"Ramza...What did you get?"
I love how ambiguous the ending is too, did Ramza and his sister really survive? What the hell was the netherworld you fight the reincarnation of god in? Poor Ramza gets remembered by history as a heretic.

It's a sad, but satisfying ending. I hate 'historical accuracy' used in reference to the sci-fi/fantasy genre, but that ending felt really apt and parallel to real-world history. Along with the rest of the game
It's really a fantastic game and is my favorite final fantasy title, superb story telling for a spin-off from the main franchise.
Hideo Kojima is such an America Otaku, he can predict the social and economic trajectory of the USA better than most actual Americans.
Undertale (highly recommend this one very creative game overall), Nier/Nier Automata, Bioshock, Portal, Final Fantasy X, Shadow of the Colossus, All the MGS games, Tales of Symphonia and tales of vesperia, Nine Hours Nine Persons Nine Doors, Xenoblade Chronicles 1 and 2, Prey 2017
Check out Braid - it's a little pretentious but the last level is amazingly well done. Also the soundtrack is good.
Miles Morales was less copaganda filled than the original, but it pissed me off a lot more because

You spend the entire game fighting the evil mega corporation who’s trying to kill you the entire time, but also fighting against your childhood best friend who is trying to stop the evil mega corporation that’s been trying to kill you the entire time. Work with her, she’s right (mostly)! Just fucking kill Kreiger!
Fisk managing to have a phone to run his crime empire in the fucking Raft as a man with no super powers. I’m replaying it right now to get the last couple achievements and when Fisk first gets arrested he says “You’re gonna regret this! I kept order in this city!” And he was right which is annoying
I also felt like the writing in Miles Morales was pretty bad compared to the first game. Miles’ and Phin’s dialogue makes them feel like they’re Dora the Explorer half the time.
Final Fantasy 3 (6 in Japan)
Castlevania:SOTN
Silent Hill 2
Metro 2033 was for me. Then I played the remaster and it seemed really obvious, so IDK if I was really oblivious back then, they made it more obvious in the remake, or my potato of a computer at the time made it really hard to notice

the alien helping you survive all the anomalies that were killing everyone else.
Prey 2017 is worth mentioning
Spec ops: the line.
There's nothing I could tell you about it that wouldn't ruin the surprise.
Bioshock: Infinite but it does not twist the ending in a good way. I will never turn down an opportunity to dunk this game down to where it belongs
