Another Top 10 Brutal Video Game Deaths

We hope you aren’t squeamish because things are about to get bloody! When it comes to the horror and action genres, video games aren’t shy about illustrating all the gruesome ways a character can die. For this list, we’ll be looking at game overs, quick time events and scripted deaths that left us feeling more than a little uncomfortable.

Fair warning, there are SPOILERS AHEAD!Â

#10: Crazy Dr. Salvador

Weird to think that out of all the crazy bosses in Resident Evil 4, the one who scared us the most was just a guy with a chainsaw. Then again, he did take off Leon’s pretty head with a one hit kill.

#9: Welcome to Columbia

They may have been violent racists in the pocket of a crazed zealot…but getting a face full of Sky Hook is still a bad way to go.

#8: Another Carmine Bites the Dust

All the Carmine brothers suffered in someway, but getting your insides melted by acidic insects is pretty rough.

#7: The Killing Joke

Granted, the guy was a killer clown who butchered several innocent people with chainsaws, but seeing him get torn apart by his own weapons while he laughs his head off is more than a little unsettling.

#6: Impaled

Lara really didn’t have an easy time in her reboot, but by far the worst death she suffered was when she got a spike through the throat.

#5: For Those About To Rock

Nobody liked Until Dawn’s Emily, and the game gave players endless opportunities for her to meet her end. However, getting turned into meaty chunks via a rock crusher was kind of pushing it.

#4: Doom Unto You

There is nothing more gratifying then taking a chainsaw and ramming it into a demon’s face. There just isn’t.

#3: No Legs to Stand On

Did Hermes think that taunting Kratos was going to work in his favor? He learns his lesson theÂ hard way when he gets his legs cut off.

#2: A Tasty Treat

Mileena doesn’t have great table manners, choosing instead to tear her victims in half with her bare hands before chowing down.

#1: Getting an Eyeful

Should the player fail this sequence, poor Isaac Clarke ends up getting impaled through the eyeball, caving in most of his skull in the process. Lovely.
