Bro, it is just a game, stop overreacting.

The more I think about the story of the two games and the ending of it. The more im thinking about its themes, I feel it’s story mirrors a terminally ill person who is fighting a forever losing battle. There’s moments of happiness and hope, and love is always there but so much pain is inflicted, chasing down any kind of information/operation/cure anything. and it feels your living life for no reason than to just make you suffer, but still you go on with hope. But in the end, there’s got to be a acceptance. Hugo in the sense that he came to terms he could not be saved but was grateful for life and love he had, and Amecia not wishing to lose her brother, who’d she gladly die for. But must come to that acceptance and pull the plug as heart breaking as it can be And for the supporting characters the fact of life is there are many evil people, (the pillagers/inquisition/Count) but there are many good (Lucas/Sophia/the kids from the first game) and then there’s those who might not be all bad but have lost their way and could use a second chance (Arnuad) and others who life has thrown just a cruel fate (the Countess) People can come in all shades, and life is rarely black and white. The depth of character for this series was brilliant

The ending to this game was a roller coaster of emotions for me. I hadn't teared up at a game since when I first played the Walking Dead Season One almost 10 years ago. I kept hoping for a somewhat happy ending to this but once I saw Marseille practically explode during Arnaud and the Count's fight, I felt there was no way Hugo could be saved. It's a slap in the face to him as a character too since he loses his dad, then his mom and almost his sister and he's only five. However, it's not surprising though how much loss this game gives its characters given how horrible the actual Black Death was when it happened. Overall, I love both games and the music, voice acting and stories are phenomenal. Excited to see what other games come after.

This game and Hugo didn't deserve this ending.

Honestly I feel the same, because it feels like all of this could have been avoided had Amicia and Hugo grown up together. They were separated from the start and that is why his sickness kept growing. Because he was alone. Of course, the purpose of the story is most probably to find the answer to this curse, and if Amicia did her part like she wanted too, she might have documented hers and her brother's life for the next generations. If the solution for a long life is to never separated the duo and teach the kids good and bad then it could be simple. Because why not just kill the children born with the macula then it's just so simple. Life isn't easy and Hugo could have been confronted to traumas through his life, but at least he could have been surrounded by his family who could have taught him how to process his feelings, step by step like a normal child. Instead, he was locked up since his early years and the last one was just a chaotic succession of events that literally broke his innocence down AND taught him hate. I have an extreme bitter taste in my mouth because in a sense, the game says that Hugo could only escape his life traumas by dying. He didn't get the chance to be happy for more than 6 months in his life and it feels really unfair. Of course he is the source of so many deaths, but it's not like people (protectors) didn't try to help him and that anybody actually listened to them. Anyway, if the death of the other kid in the prison triggered, the death of Hugo activated my fight or flight mode because I really learn to love this kid in this game. I never cried so much at the end of a game. The art and the music are terrific.

But having it end with them finding out what happened to the first carrier and them both accepting Hugo had to die leaves the ending in a only one outcome to wrap it up if its there last game. In the epilogue it shows amicia leaving something for the next carrier and protector to find to help them and maybe stop it.

Thank you for your statements. The opinions of other players help me a lot to get along with the ending at least a little better. In fact, it has never been so difficult for me to put an end to it since I have been playing for almost 30 years. Crap... The compromise that one could choose an alternative ending, for example by collecting all memories and not deliberately killing anyone, would have been the least. Honestly, I would have played it again immediately without letting this spoiler spoil me. Another idea would be to let the player choose the ending himself. Many games use this to make it somehow fair to every player. I would rather have seen Hugo happy with his sister in the mountains than had to watch the poor boy die with his trauma. I just have to think about how nice the little childish comments were when he put a flower in your hair or gave you little things like a swing... it breaks your heart. and that after LOA2 and cyberpunk Edgerunners. Oh man...

TLDR: Dialogue differences: ----- Amicia Kills: Longer, more abstract ending to to Chapter 16. There is a second part to chapter 17, where you pick up 'hugo's (I presume)' necklace. With Sophia: Is out alchemist coming? Amicia: Lucas?... Oh, no... He's still on the road. Studying. Sophia: All by himself... They grow up so fast... Amicia: He needed this... ----- Lucas Kills: In chapter 16 they stand in front of Hugo's rat-brain thing... She is unable to kill him, so Lucas says "If you can't do it...". With Sophia: And... Lucas? Amicia: He won't come... It's... I can still see him... do it. Sophia: Maybe it'll pass... with time... Amicia: Anyway, he must still be on the road, somewhere. Studying.

The scene at 25:21 and the one where Amicia is sitting on chair and looking at chair next to her made me more sad than any other scene in the game, even more than the scene where Amicia/Lucas actually killed Hugo. The way she looks at chair, hoping that Hugo would be sitting with her if he was alive gives a wholesome and very sad and geniune feeling.

But what about all the macula’s during all the times inbetween?

When I finished the game I didn’t say a word and walked to the bathroom because I didn’t want my family to see me crying.

Amecia: I can’t do it! Lucas: K 🏹

I feel like this ending was a slap in the face and was poorly written. The writers seemed to have been setting up a powerful ending with the previous carrier and protector, with Amicia and Hugo learning from the tragedy of the past (there was strong reincarnation vibes going on there too). The previous carrier gave up and destroyed himself when his protector was killed, and Amicia was like "But we won't be like them." History nearly repeated itself when Amicia was shot and Hugo believed she was dead, BUT this time the protector wasn't actually dead? And yet everything still plays out the same way and the game gives you no chance as the player to change the outcome! Even though we've been building this bond between the characters and striving for hope and protecting Hugo for 2 games now? The game even set up bringing Hugo back to himself with Lucas saying something about "We're tied to him too," or whatever the exact line was. There was precedent too when the macula took over Hugo before and then he came back. There should have been a final battle with the macula and a chance for the player to actually get to Hugo and bring him back with the power of love and memories or something. I also felt like Hugo's character had been building up to a place where he'd eventually have full control of his powers, which would have been amazing and terrifying, but no. I got the Lucas ending because I thought the game wanted me to hesitate as Amicia and find another way to save Hugo. I just don't see Amicia being able to hurt Hugo. When Lucas did it I thought the checkpoint was going to restart, that's how wrong I thought everything was, I didn't think it was the real ending at first. Also, what was with the island, the dreams, and the phoenix symbolism with the healing water? It's like the game was setting something up but never followed through??? I'd be ok with this ending if there were multiple endings depending on how you played the game up to this point (or if you have to make some kind of final choice at the end), but this hopelessness with the horrific death of someone so young and innocent was just too awful. I think Rockstar 1996 has the best possible reading of the ending, I just think that if that was the writers intent they didn't execute that intent well enough, at least not for me personally. I'm going to pretend the game didn't end this way (maybe there's some fan fiction out there). Overall I loved this series despite its flaws I just don't know if I'll ever be able to replay these games again after this. And if there was a sequel I'd be really hesitant to trust these writers again.

Sadly I have to agree. The game was great technically, but the writing and pacing was all over the place, lots of interesting plot points and story threads simply forgotten half way through and many deaths just for the "drama" of it. Need to put Hugo over the edge? Just kill his mom and make him think they killed his sister. That's pretty cheap writing, sorry.

the island dream was the Macula luring Hugo to the island so it could capture/control him fully like it did to Basilius. it was fake

I just finished the game. I couldn't be prepared for what the game had stored for the ending. When I slowly realized that in the end it had to be Amicia herself to finish him off... man.. I could not hold the tears, it was devastating.

Just completed this game on my xbox yesterday. I reallyyy loved hugo.. he was so cute and caring.. and amicia is so strong and i literally went into depression after the ending. Damn no death in game has hit me THAT hard but... i wish to see hugo reincarnate in plague tale 3. And also the way hugo says "I love you". Ah im still crying while writing my feelings out!

17:09 IM FUCKING CRYING HERE AND LUCAS FUCKING DIES NOW IM CRUINH LAUGHING HAHAHAHHA

Amazing game and definitely a beautiful ending in a Shakespearean tragedy sort of way. They learned a lot on their journey but were too late to stop the death and destruction left in their wake. Personally it was a bit too sad for me as a fan. I didn’t mind the choice to have to kill Hugo, but the aftermath scenes just weren’t that satisfying. Just Amecia kind of healing a bit and continuing her mission to stop the Macula. Fitting for her but Just a brief convo with Sophia and only a smidge of mention of Lucas was kind of lonely. Again, fits the beautiful tragedy vibe, but sad for me as a fan. I’d have prefered an ending that both managed to be beautiful and satisfying. Just got the former tbh. And the devs said the story is over. Still a 9/10 game tho. Love me some story-driven games.

I would like to know what happened to the other kids that survived from the last game. Bring them back on the next one... Also I am depressed now, thinking back to the first game and the adventure you had with Hugo... I am grateful that the devs had the courage to kill off a character for the sake of an emotional story

I don't know how they manage to do that, but I don't cry when you had to do "that thing" but I do cry when the credits start. What a game! Well done French people!

You know a game is good when it makes you cry at the end. Seriously , it’s story was both beautiful and very tragic. The character development was amazing too. RIP Hugo man…

So there was always a choice to kill Hugo and save the world or keep looking for the cure that didn't exist. So in the end millions of people died because you were chasing a false hope AND you also had to kill Hugo in the end anyway. That's really messed up, I was hoping for a good ending.

I don’t think that the last one is a secret ending because I got it after amicias ending

I just finished the game.. thanks for the depression

finally finished the game after months of pushing it away because i accidentally spoiled it and was not ready for the death of hugo. it still broke me, i cried so much. i was so into the story, i felt connected to amicia because i’m a big sister and would do anything for my siblings if i were in her shoes. i also listen to the ost, specifically “brother” which is the song that plays at the end where amicia is at the cabin and i cry to it (i recommend listening to the soundtrack it’s honestly so good) one of the best game series i’ve played. so beautiful, tragic, the visuals, characters, and storyline are all amazing. just cant get over the death and the end of this game.

I finished the game today and when I saw the end I cried until my eyes turned red,but I really wonder about the secret ending and a really hope Hugo still alive because i can't believe he's dead💔

Hugo's dead. That ending only implied that Amicia settled down with a man and continued her cursed bloodline.

It's been 2 hours since I finished it and I'm still crying inconsolably, the ending is heartbreaking and Monday is the end of a magnificent story

One of the best games ever made.

It's good taht I saw the Lucas ending here, because I could never let Amicia fail her true self and her role as Protector by letting Lucas ending it. I understand why it is in the game, though, also it now makes sense that Lucas has the crossbow when he meets witm Amicia before the end. And secret ending isn't actually secret if you let all credits roll at least once, as should be done after a masterpiece like this.

I played the first one and loved it, couldn't get enough but the second? The second just...It's such a powerful ending, but it's almost too real in a sense. There are some parts of this story I want to see again and again but at a certain point, I feel like Hugo approaching that deep dark temple...I don't want to know the truth, and yet? At the same time this is a story I will never forget.

I just finish the game. What a heart breking ending, but you could tell, things are not to end well. In my opinion this is one of the best games i had play in a long time (and i play a lot of games in life time). The character progression, the devastation and beatifull areas, the lines between characters,the script, the pacing, the gameplay, the level desing (and i mean not only that you can aproach the situation in differents ways but also how every part of the game its different fron the next in a well written context ), the twists and turns, the music. Also many of the themes of this game apply in the real world. Just a jewel of a game. The only thing i regreat was playing with an old grapichs card. XD. I Hope everyone had enjoyed the game as i did (not the with a low en pc XD)

Never felt this sad about a video game aside from two occassions, the walking dead season one, and the last of us part 2. 🤧

I nearly almost cried when hugo tells to her sister to kill him for him to stop suffering

Only got really emotional to the point of tears only in 2 game(s): Bioshock Infinite and TWD Season 1. And now this is the third. When I have kids, naming them after Amicia and/or Hugo. These are 2 of the best games I have ever played. When this sequel was first announced I hoped there would be a trilogy, but very satisfied with how the series ended. Phenomenal effort from a team of less than 100. Looking forward to see what Asobo have in store next!

I get Amicia, but Hugo? I wouldn't name my boy after someone who arguably killed hundreds of thousands of people (willingly or not).

Finished the game a few minutes ago. It's a masterpiece. Aside from some balance issues ( makes me angry you can't defeat some enemies at certain points) but the ending is so wrong. That poor boy.

What a game it was. I ended it in 3 days with constant playing, and it was extraordinary. The ending broke me but, one of the best games that i have played.

Had no idea there was an ending where Lucas would kill Hugo! Not sure which one I prefer. I feel like Amica killing Hugo is the cannon ending as she feels it’s her duty to deal with her brother and I can’t see her putting that on Lucas.

I don't usually get emotional but man killing Hugo and then seeing his grave was heartbreaking

I cried like a newborn haha amazing both games. The most heart breaking ending. Rip Hugo.

I can't quite describe how I'm feeling right now. I just finished the game and i feel like it left a wound in my heart, it was depressing yet realistic and beautiful. Tbh idk if i should thank the developers for this masterpiece or curse them for the heartache I'm feeling..maybe both.

This is not how it should have ended.

Get a life man

Let's be honest. They purely lived in video game since it took them so long to realize that killing Hugo is the most logical thing to do

I knew it the moment they collecting tons of memories along the way... Something really bad will happen like the death of Hugo.. For me, all of this are bad endings Amicia the only De Rune who survived

Hugo belongs on a boat far from any land mass where he can call his dirty rats lol

The sadness I feel from this. I get anxiety when I see the baby with the curse.

when I readed "lucas ending" I thought there was an ending to if you shoot lucas in the head

They killed her hair throughout this game lol. I actually liked her hairstyle quite a lot in the beginning of the game, then by the end... 😔

I remember Hyogo's voice when he said what we do, Amesia.

absolutely in love with this game!i want part 3 where I can play another male protector who can wield swords or any close combat weapons, hiding was enough in these games, next one must be more action like.

only clicked on the video expecting a good ending where if you dont kill all the guards in the game hugo does find the island and gets healed

I was so confused when Lucas was eaten by the rats. I assumed it was just a bug.

I cried at the ending It sinks too deep for me I liked the characters I was devastated seeing the protector killing the carrier. Twisted and deep

The end of this game reminds me in game it name brothers Sad ending, I wish they both lived together

Ending was only thing little bit disappointing in this game for me. I would have liked if sparing as many enemies as possible during gameplay would have made the ending better. It seemed Amicia's actions affected Hugo's actions also so it would have made sense.

I understand how a mechanic like that would be great in a game story wise but it makes it so boring to play. I also want to have fun and sparing every single enemy just to get a good ending seems so annoying and such a chore. It’s one of the reasons why I disliked that mechanic in both Dishonored games.

After RDR 2 i developed strong immunity against main characters deaths

then what happened to lucas?

I finished the 1st game 1 day ago and felt sad. Then I had to watch a playthrough to see how the story would progress. Well, now I feel more empty and depressed. The way the characters were written and developed from the 1st to the 2nd game, Hugo acting like an actual kid does and the interactions between them made it feel even sadder. The voice acting, the cinematography, and the soundtrack, all came together nicely. I personally would have preferred a happier ending, because this kind of ended the franchise. It's really sad that it didn't win the Game of the Year award, such an underrated game.

Wow It's crazy because I'm learning about the black death in history class and it talks about a plague so I think of this game because it compares with rats and bites and I'm surprised that this is actually a real thing that happened
