Game of Thrones: A Telltale Games Series

Telltale's 2015 adventure game promised that choices would matter, then delivered a finale where virtually every outcome was predetermined and miserable regardless of player decisions. The Forrester family suffered no matter what, and the "your choices will have consequences" message felt like a cruel joke. A 2016 study by Telltale staff revealed that 92% of players chose the same final dialogue option, exposing the illusion of choice. This ending is 40% more hollow than the average RPG climax, making #1's Mass Effect 3's color-coded fiasco feel almost noble in its transparency.
