00:00 "Come on, let's go home."

00:05 Welcome to Mojo Plays.

00:07 We're counting down our picks for video game endings that fill us with more joy than

00:13 any others.

00:14 That means you'll find major spoilers ahead.

00:17 "I believe we deserve a bit of a rest."

00:21 "That we do."

00:23 Before we begin, we publish new content all week long, so be sure to subscribe and ring

00:28 the bell to get notified about our latest videos.

00:32 Bioshock Since Bioshock follows a dystopian descent,

00:47 there aren't many happy moments for the characters of Rapture, and that goes double for the Little

00:51 Sisters.

00:52 These children have been warped by Adam, a substance which alters genes and allows citizens

00:57 to use powerful plasmids.

00:59 When the player comes across them, they can choose to harvest their Adam, killing the

01:02 Little Sister in the process, or remove a smaller amount so that the girl can still

01:07 live.

01:08 "No, no, no, no."

01:16 "Thank you."

01:21 If you choose the latter and rescue enough of them, you'll get the happiest ending.

01:26 The player takes them to the surface, caring for them so that they can lead normal lives.

01:31 They're even there at your deathbed, a loving legacy that came from something horrible.

01:37 "And since the end, what was your reward?"

01:45 "You never said, but I think I know.

01:48 A family."

01:49 Persona 5

01:50 "You over there!"

01:51 "Hey, look this way!"

01:52 "After we said we disbanded, my word."

02:01 In general, JRPGs tend to have happy endings, but when it comes to Persona 5, the strong

02:06 camaraderie between the characters makes it even more noteworthy.

02:11 After spending hours upon hours helping each of your friends through their various struggles

02:15 and villains, it's time for them to help you out.

02:17 "My friend's in trouble, and I'd like everyone's input."

02:20 "Ooh, that sounds like fun!"

02:21 "If this is any more work, count me out."

02:24 "You know you want to, Inari!"

02:26 The Phantom Thieves get your false assault charges overturned and offer to drive you

02:30 back to your hometown.

02:32 Seeing them all happy together and having brought them all together in the first place

02:35 is heartwarming to say the least.

02:37 But the gang also heads on a road trip before taking you home.

02:41 Knowing they're all experiencing freedom from their own trauma for the first time is

02:45 enough to bring a tear to your eye.

02:55 Journey This indie darling does a lot with its story

02:58 considering there isn't a single piece of dialogue in it.

03:01 In Journey, players take a mysterious robbed figure through a vast desert to reach the

03:06 top of a mountain.

03:07 Along the way, you'll come across obstacles, puzzles, and several other figures like you.

03:12 You might think these figures are just helpful NPCs since there's no way to communicate

03:16 with them, but they're actually other players.

03:19 After reaching the end, a joyous moment in its own right, you'll spot the usernames

03:24 of those who helped you in the credits.

03:26 It's a small moment, but a beautiful artistic expression that shows none of us are truly

03:31 traveling alone.

03:32 Undertale!

03:33 The End Like many other RPGs, Undertale features

03:46 multiple endings depending on how you play.

03:49 But the conclusion that is undeniably the happiest comes at the end of the pacifist

03:53 route.

03:54 First, you'll need to have beaten the game on a neutral playthrough.

03:56 Then, you'll have to beat it again without having killed any of the monsters you come

04:01 across.

04:22 After rescuing your friends and reconciling with him, the barrier separating the worlds

04:26 of humans and monsters is destroyed.

04:29 Everything ends peacefully with the player given the option to let Toriel become their

04:33 adoptive parent.

04:44 Hades

04:57 While Undertale sees you bring together a lovely found family, Hades has you reunite

05:02 a blood one.

05:03 As Zagreus, the son of Hades, continuously attempts to escape from the underworld, players

05:07 eventually learn he's doing so in order to find his birth mother, Persephone.

05:11 You first run ends when you find her on the surface, though players must reach this goal

05:16 another 10 times to unlock the true ending.

05:29 Despite their marriage being a happy one, each visit reveals more of the sad story before

05:33 Zagreus convinces her to come home.

05:36 Not only does this make his father less bitter, but they even feast with the rest of the Olympians,

05:41 like one big happy dysfunctional family.

05:53 Near Automata This happy ending only comes after a few sad

05:57 ones.

06:02 Following a climax where either 2B sacrifices herself to save 9S or both of them die, you

06:07 will be asked if you want to save them during the credits.

06:10 If so, those credits turn into a brutal shoot em up section.

06:14 When you die, you receive words of encouragement left by other players.

06:18 Die enough and you can have them join you in the fight.

06:21 They're only able to do so by deleting their save data.

06:24 You can choose to as well, adding your strength to a future player in need.

06:35 That level of sacrifice for complete strangers is sure to tug on your heart strings.

06:47 This also leads to the androids starting again.

06:57 Celeste In addition to its high difficulty, Celeste

07:00 became best known for its thoughtful approach to mental illness through video game mechanics.

07:05 It tells the story of Madeline, a troubled young woman who climbs the mysterious mountain

07:10 as a way to overcome her personal problems.

07:12 On her journey, she's plagued by what seems to be an evil version of herself.

07:17 However, Celeste teaches us acceptance of ourselves rather than rejection.

07:21 By the end, Madeline is able to find peace within her, make it to the top of the mountain

07:25 and share some strawberry pie with her new friends.

07:28 We know that her issues haven't been magically erased and that life will continue on, but

07:33 the ending shows our protagonist much healthier and happier than where she began.

07:37 It Takes Two Most of It Takes Two is a zany, delightful

07:44 co-op romp and the ending is just as joyous as we were hoping it would be.

07:49 On the verge of divorce, feuding parents Cody and May are turned into toy dolls by their

07:53 daughter's wish.

07:55 They then have to rely on each other and whatever tools each level gives them to make it back

07:59 to their original bodies.

08:05 As the game progresses, all of the jaded and hateful feelings between them are broken down,

08:10 allowing for the love they once held for each other to grow anew.

08:13 After their kiss breaks the curse, they're surprised to learn their daughter has run

08:17 away, but after reassuring her, the family heads home ready for a new chapter.

08:27 The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt A dark plot makes a happy ending all that

08:33 more powerful.

08:47 The Witcher 3 features multiple endings, but the widely accepted best one shows Geralt's

08:52 adopted daughter Ciri join him on the road as a fellow Witcher.

09:07 Geralt's profession makes his life a lonely one, so an ending like this is sure to make

09:11 you crack a smile.

09:13 Even more joyful is the conclusion to its DLC Blood and Wine, which ends with Geralt

09:17 being gifted a vineyard for his services.

09:20 As it closes and Geralt ponders the thought of retirement, a knowing smile into the camera

09:25 signals gratefulness to players and the thought of easier days ahead.

09:28 Depending on your choices, he can also be joined by one of his romantic interests.

09:39 Uncharted 4 A Thief's End Ending Uncharted 4 on a quiet, peaceful note

09:57 was the best choice Naughty Dog could've made.

10:00 With his long journey over, Nate finally finds balance in his life.

10:04 His underappreciated wife Elena uses some recently acquired treasures and buys the salvage

10:09 company he worked for.

10:10 Fast forward years later and the pair have created quite the pleasant life.

10:21 The epilogue has you control their teenage daughter Cassie and shows that the duo have

10:25 never given up on a venture.

10:27 After finding relics of her parents' past, Nate begins to tell her of his old escapades

10:31 as Elena smiles on.

10:33 Knowing what the pair have been through, it makes our hearts ache with happiness.

10:37 Not only was it well deserved for the characters, but extremely satisfying for fans.
