Video games are a great form of storytelling and world-building, and, from that perspective, they have more similarities to books than movies. Yet, because video game franchises are often so dense, with many of them having annual sequels, some parts of the story don\u2019t get wrapped up, either intentionally or otherwise.<\/p>\n

The narrative in gaming has become just as important as graphical presentation, and, as a result, video games are becoming much more respected as an artform, leading many writers to favor ambiguity over a linear tale. But, this generally leads to an abundance of questions being asked by perpetually curious gamers.<\/p>\n

10 <\/span>The Strange Man In Red Dead Redemption 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Red Dead Redemption 2<\/em> might have some of the most pristine graphics in video games<\/a>, but that doesn\u2019t make some of the plot points any clearer. The Strange Man appears three times in Red Dead 2<\/em>, appearing in each of the game\u2019s main areas.<\/p>\n

Each time The Strange Man is in contact with John Marsten, he is very specific with his words and intentionally vague. The player is actually able to kill The Strange Man, but that means failing the mission. The Strange Man calls John\u2019s gravesite a \u201cfine spot\u201d long before John dies, and he tells John that they \u201chave to stop meeting like this\u201d the last time they ever meet, meaning that he could be anything from a time traveller to John\u2019s self-conscience to the devil in human form.<\/p>\n

9 <\/span>The Desert Rings in Shadow of the Colossus<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

For such a detailed world despite being completely desolate, Shadow of the Colossus<\/i><\/a> had fans believing that there was a secret seventeenth\u00a0colossus in the world even though the developers explained there wasn\u2019t. The remake of the game for the PS4 did include a final secret wherein if you find 50 gold coins in the game then you win\u2026 a bigger sword.<\/p>\n

Still, the world itself is full of mystery, and, though it remains unchanged in the remake, fans are still trying to find clues to something bigger. One detail that remains unsolved is the rings in the desert. There are metal plates attached to the rings, and some of them are broken, while others are still fully formed. There must be some connection to the world, but it remains unsolved.<\/p>\n

8 <\/span>Vacationing in Silent Hill 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

Though there are loads of strange and haunting areas in survival horror titles,\u00a0Silent Hill 2<\/a><\/em>\u00a0is particularly notable for its horrifying for its misty aesthetic. Yet, it\u2019s that mist that raises the question as to why\u00a0James was ever there in the first place.<\/p>\n

In the game, James explains that the town used to be his favorite place to go vacationing, but, as the haunting town has been misty since the 1970s, James would likely have never seen the town in sunlight. This begs the question, how does James know what the town looks like without mist if he never stepped foot in the town before the 70s? There\u2019s even more to James than we learn at the end of the game, but what?<\/p>\n

7 <\/span>Suicidal Tendencies in God of War<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

It seems that most plot holes come from characters having a very selective memory. The God of War <\/em><\/a>anti-hero, Kratos, is considering ending his own life at the start of God of War<\/em> (2018) due to his messed up past<\/a>, but, as nobody knows the afterlife better than him, he should have known not to do that.<\/p>\n

When Kratos wants to end his life owing\u00a0to his endless pain, it would be no different in the afterlife, as Hades\u2019 realm is anything but an escape from pain. If he killed himself, Kratos would be falling for eternity, or something much worse.<\/p>\n

6 <\/span>\u201cL Is Real\u201d In Super Mario 64<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

In what remains as one of the most intriguing and unresolved mysteries in video games, Super Mario 64<\/em> has had fans questioning themselves for decades. With\u00a0players confused at the time that\u00a0Luigi wasn\u2019t a playable character, they were totally convinced that he was unlockable.<\/p>\n

At this water bed, the inscription beneath\u00a0the star monument is believed by fans to say \u201cL Is Real 2401,\u201d which players\u00a0believe is\u00a0relating to Luigi and that there are 2401 stars in the game. It is\u00a0believed that, once Mario has collected all 2041 stars in the game, if he returns to\u00a0the fountain,\u00a0Luigi would appear.<\/p>\n

5 <\/span>Bane\u2019s Memory Loss in Batman: Arkham Origins<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As Batman\u2019s game world is so fantastically dense, there is no escaping the inevitability of mysteries. Though comic books are being used to course-correct such things, there is one that stands above the others that yields so many questions.<\/p>\n

In the prequel,\u00a0Batman: Arkham Origins<\/a><\/i>, Bane learns of Batman\u2019s true identity, but, in the later\u00a0Batman: Arkham City<\/i>, the brawn villain had seemingly forgotten. Sure, there are some thinly veiled explanations fans can concoct, such as memory loss, but it remains a mystery, and, if it wasn\u2019t left unexplained, it might have listed higher on the list of best Arkham\u00a0games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

4 <\/span>Mysterious Timeline in Bioshock<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

As the Bioshock<\/i><\/a> series is based on intertwining narratives and convoluted timelines, there\u2019s bound to be a mystery or two in its story.\u00a0Jack crash lands in the sea and finds the underwater city of Rapture, but it is revealed that Jack was abandoned at that very place when he was just two years old, meaning he must have had to fight off the Big Daddies as just an infant. There is a theory that Jack artificially ages much quicker than human beings, but that still requires suspending disbelief quite a bit.<\/p>\n

3 <\/span>The Mount Chiliad Mural in Grand Theft Auto V<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

There may be a lot of fake videos showing a UFO atop Mount Chiliad with YouTubers claiming that they have solved the mystery, but don\u2019t be fooled, as they are just PC mods. It wouldn\u2019t be a GTA<\/a> <\/em>game without a mystery that players obsess over, and the Mount Chiliad mural inside the cable car station has led people combing over every inch of the map, including the ocean bed.<\/p>\n

Though almost all of the game\u2019s code has been looked over and it seems the mural is a prank by developers, they insist that there is one more mystery in the game that nobody has figured out yet.<\/p>\n

2 <\/span>Tawna\u2019s Disappearance\u00a0In Crash Bandicoot<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

It\u2019s easy to believe that the Coco Bandicoot you see in the series today, with her ponytail, overalls, and laptop, was just a remodel of how she looked in the first entry, with her long flowing hair, short shorts, and tank top, but those were actually different characters! Where as Coco is Crash\u2019s sister, Tawna was Crash\u2019s girlfriend who he had to save in Neo Cortex\u2019s castle.<\/p>\n

Saving her in the penultimate level of Crash Bandicoot<\/em><\/a> led to an alternative ending, but, since then, she has never been seen or mentioned except for being a playable character in Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled<\/em>.<\/p>\n

1 <\/span>The Borealis in Half-Life\/Portal 2<\/h2>\n
<\/figure>\n

The big question amongst Half-Life<\/i><\/a> fans is regularly, \u201cWho is the G-Man?\u201d But, with the release of Half-Life: Alyx <\/em><\/a>earlier this year, more information about the briefcase-carrying mystery man has come to light. However, the other big mystery of the series didn\u2019t even get a mention in Alyx<\/em>. The Aurora Borealis is a boat that carries something important to Freeman in Half-Life 2: Episode 2<\/em>, but we never find out what.<\/p>\n

Fans were teased in Portal 2<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>about the carrier ship\u2019s contents, but it still remained a mystery. Though both series are considered to be two of the best gaming has to offer,\u00a0they are both just as good at keeping secrets. Hopefully, fans don\u2019t have to wait another 13 years to get more information.<\/p>\n
