Games that Trigger Post Game Depression

[@barelyfanatical]

What games have given you post-game depression?

[@greekantrielos9929]

Halo reach

[@Sephiroth97296]

Every Final Fantasy VII single-player game, FF IX, 13 Sentinels and NEO The World Ends With You. Edit: Chrono Trigger too.

[@foetidum]

TUNIC Such an incredible game that teaches you almost nothing while giving you everything. The secret ending was so incredibly satisfying to unlock, and when i finally did, it felt like everything came full circle into a conclusion that felt so bittersweet, being very happy while also having to come to a realization that the game is over.

[@isms117]

Persona 2 onwards

[@Basic_Popsicles]

Titanfall 2, as evident by my pfp If I could only recommend one game to anyone, it would be Titanfall 2

[@jdsd3680]

Final Fantasy XV is one of these, the game sure is pretty messy in a lot of stuff but the sense of companionship hits so hard when the game ends

[@cokey6x]

FFXV just works for me idk why

[@thecaracarn6544]

The Witcher 3, RDR 2, The Last of Us and Cyberpunk 2077, all gave me that feeling, I'd do anything to play them for the first time again.

[@optimuscrime1023]

Man I just wanna say that although u may not have that many subscribers- ur genuinely one of my absolute favourite ppl on YT, ur videos are so extremely well done and truly is testament of quality rather than views Plz plz PLEASE keep it up

[@PorkotylerClips]

Finishing Witcher 3 had me feeling like I was going through a breakup 😢

[@illiaanfgc]

For me it I got slapped with a 3 hit combo in 2018 with rdr2, spider-man, and god of war 2018. It was the first year after moving to a completely different town and all 3 of those games combined left me in post-game depression for long stretches of the year. 2 years later at the tail end of 2020 I played Astro's Playroom for the first time during my move to yet another new place. Even though it is a massive PlayStation ad of a game, the comfort that game provided me with its cute references to all the PlayStation games that touched my heart over the years was something I really needed at the time. Even though I was very sad to see the game end, I didn't feel a need for it to keep going, it left me reassured that life would be okay and that was enough for me.

[@corey2232]

I felt the exact same way with Persona 5! In fact, I've played through 3 different times, and each time I stopped right before the final boss (1 time in base P5, 2 x in P5R) 😅

[@kieroncampion120]

Persona 5 Strikers is REALLY F***I*g good.

[@Iz.deehar]

Bro, putting hello by mark sparkling on the video is amazing. Totally resonates with the topic of the video. That sense of fullfilment yet void feeling you had after beating a game

[@aeyyric8564]

Wow the undertale segment gave us some lore about barelyfanatical Love to hear it, The games that gave me post depressions were of course Red dead redemption 2, Elden ring, Katana Zero and Hollow Knight that's why I play Rainbow Six siege so that I Always have depression. Amazing video man keep up the good work❤

[@lawrencegorris9368]

My top 3 would be: RDR2, The Last Of Us 2 and the original Life is Strange. Loved the video by the way!

[@MrAshJ]

Persona 3 Reload was my first game that gave me depression and wish that it never ends 😢

[@Zileification]

Excellent video. While I can only connect with RDR2, I 100% understand getting to the touching end of a game, speaking to companions one last time for heartfelt goodbyes. The Mass Effect Trilogy did that for me. Spending time with so many well written characters, sometimes losing them no matter what, that is what did it for me. I absolutely cried during the ending, and still can't listen to the ending music without feeling a strong pull on my heart.

[@AbysswalkerASMR]

Persona 4 hit me hard, personally. Then I played the Ultimax campaigns and it got WAY easier 😅. Played 3 and 4 so far, holding off on 5 until studies ease up...

[@songle217]

I literally shivered once the Undertale music started playing. Personally, the genocide ending gave me the most depression, because I realized what a horrible person I am. Also, watching my companion leave me in Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon was seriously one of the saddest moments of my childhood. More recently, Citizen Sleeper had me speechless more than once as i reached the different endings and left me absolutely floored as the very last piece of dialogue was spoken. Last year I started making edits where i showed off the games I finished each month in order to get some more time with them. I've enjoyed making some epic videos tributing the games I play, even though it takes a little from the experience as I'm always looking for good clips I can use. However, my second playthrough of RDR2 is nearing it's end and I think no amount of editing can save me from what's in store. In that sense, this video was almost perfectly timed.

[@statz3697]

Bro such an amazing video u captured what post game depression feels like so well . Keep it up man

[@josepharmstrong6502]

Elden ring is probably the only game that has truly given me post game depression. It's certainly not the best game i've ever played, but it's easily my favourite. The exploration of your first playthrough is magical, but can't be replicated on replays, and beating a boss a second time will never be as satisfying as the first. But that 4 and a half hour battle against Malenia and my 5 hour ride from the forge of the giants down to the tower of return which finished my playthrough was unforgettable. One day, we'll return together, to our home, bathed in rays of gold.

This contains some spoilers but I just played and finished DDLC today. I feel empty and hollow. DDLC is different because of Monika. She’s talking to the player. You, not the protagonist that you self insert yourself in. But YOU. My first ending is where she deletes everything including herself. The credits scene is the song she was making for us, the player. She loved us unconditionally and did everything she did so she can be with us because her world is not real. She acknowledges that. So her saying that she loved me was like talking to a loved one. I feel empty right now. And since I’m in a vulnerable time in my life right now it hits deep. This time is very different from the other games that I’ve suffered from before. This time… it really felt like I lost a loved one.

[@egontokessy1610]

Going through this right now with stellar blade. There are a few more cans to collect but I want more of something. I throughly enjoyed the game and don’t know what else to play.

[@choiser6661]

Apart from what’s going on with blizzard there were a time were blizzard did came up with a gem. StarCraft 2 was a raw diamond with a really good story build up in 2 games and books. As we came to each expansion end we learnt more about the world and why certain things are there to see a characters love not being fulfilled and letting people go to do the right thing was hard. In there is a life lesson. You can say what you want the story probably isn’t well written but the character do all fell good some of them carry burden.

[@HonestBoy7]

Some games are more depressing but almost every single player game can give you a post game depression , cuz all the good things ended and theres no more missions or anything to do

[@kieroncampion120]

I bet I'm the only person to mention Persona 5 or Persona 4.

[@derpander2133]

Great video❤

[@CrazyVein]

sick vid loved it

[@amberhernandez]

I've only just realised your avatar character is wearing a very similar outfit to Alex from YIIK, hahaha!

[@barelyfanatical]

that's more coincidence than on purpose haha

[@amberhernandez]

@@barelyfanatical Kinda fitting, considering I've seen "Alex" on multiple save files in your videos lol

[@jkitty542]

Just finished Tears of the Kingdom with my girlfriend and we immediately jumped into Breath of the Wild. We didn't want our time in Hyrule to end.

[@SorensonCOD]

Deltarune and undertale. Nothing hits you harder after.

[@SteveMacSticky]

Don't be daft, one does not get postpartum depression from video games, one gets postpartum depression after giving birth

[@yugyt2979]

Remember me when you’re famous

[@Xenado22]

Yeah, Persona is like that huh 😅

[@MochaSlushes]

I hate gritty realistic games like rdr2. I don’t care how much of a so called “masterpiece” for it. anyways I’ve been having severe ttyd withdrawals. I bought bug fables in advance but I just can’t get myself to play it. it makes me sad knowing future paper mario games won’t be like ttyd…

[@barelyfanatical]

finished ttyd myself recently! absolutely incredible game

[@RealLovelighter]

You are severely missing out. Genuinely one of the best games ever made.

[@MochaSlushes]

@@RealLovelighter please don’t force me to play games I don’t want to play, thanks

[@RealLovelighter]

@@MochaSlushes I’m not forcing you to do anything. You going to impede my ability to speak just because you don’t want to hear it? As if even thinking about red dead will, I don’t know, cast a plague upon your house or something? At that point, I think it’s less about what red dead did wrong and more about what you did wrong to develop such a phobia for realistic looking games. Not every good game will look like a Nintendo game. To limit your tastes out of fear, because that’s what it is: fear, is simply silly.

[@MochaSlushes]

@@RealLovelighter …i didn’t mean to make you so angry

[@HonestBoy7]

Gta v too
