15 Worst Video Game Deaths. I Cant Unsee These

Worst Video Game Deaths

worst death gaming

Game over screens in video games are unpleasant to look at. They're gaudy, in your face, and exist as reminders of your failure to play well and win the game. That being said, they're also a good place for developers to showcase the consequences of your failure by depicting the death of your character in the most gruesome way imaginable.

These game over screens, coupled with a few deaths from assorted games where characters die in an extremely violent manner, are what we intend to showcase in the following list. Keep in mind that you probably shouldn’t be eating or thinking about food while going through the following pages as you’ll have trouble keeping your food down given the viscerality and gruesomeness of the videos within.

#15 Resident Evil 6 - Head In Blender Death

LEEEOOOOON!?!?!?!?!?

#14 Silent Hill: Homecoming Drill Scene

Probably one of the only highlights of an otherwise average game, Silent Hill: Homecoming really missed the charm of one of the most iconic horror video game series.

#13 Aliens vs Predators: Heads Off

Aliens vs Predator offered some of the most gruesome first-person kills imaginable. It was even more violent than the movies.

#12 Tomb Raider: Deaths

The new Tomb Raider is a beautiful game, but its depictions of death are anything but gorgeous. Poor Lara!

#11 Heavy Rain: Death by Doc

Dying in Heavy Rain had consequences. You didn't even have to restart the game, as it just continued on as if you'd made the right decision.

#10 Mafia 2: Henry's Death

Hacked to bits, Henry is killed by meat cleavers and butchered like a stuck pig.

#9 God of War 3 - Hercules Death

There's nothing more satisfying than punching Hercules to death with his own two fists after a grueling battle in God of War 3.

#8 Resident Evil 4: Chainsaw Death

Being shredded by the chainsaw in Resident Evil 4 is one of the game's most memorable moments.

#7 Saw The Game: Deaths

Just like the movies, Saw is a violent game indeed. Imagine this stuff on a next-gen platform.

#6 Dishonored: Death by Rats

What's worse than being eaten by a swarm of plague rats? We can't think of much.

#5 RDR: Death by Train

Splat! Funny how this evil mustache-twirling bit of villainy even gets you a special achievement unlock. We don't believe it's canon, though.

#4 Last of Us: Gruesome Death

Getting your throat ripped out by zombies in The Last of Us is a terrible way to end the story.

#3 Mortal Kombat: Noob Saibot Fatality

The new Mortal Kombat brought back Fatality moves in a way that the original titles could only capture through the imagination.

#2 Manhunt 2

Manhunt 2 was banned in several countries for its depiction of violence. As this video depicts, you can see pretty much why that is.

#1 Dead Space 2: Eye Poke

The eye-gouging machine in Dead Space 2 has got to be the scariest instance of body horror we've seen in games. Here it is in its full detail.
