While video games often have their own main narrative with the player character in the spotlight, there can be various stories in the background as well.
Some of this manifests in the form of lore while others can be discovered by delving into another character’s past. In several cases, however, many of these stories end up being extremely heavy. Let’s take a look at 14 of the saddest background stories in video games. Spoilers ahead so be warned.

Ardyn from FFXV definitely has a depressing backstory. Healer of the people, betrayed by his own brother and forced to kill his love. Then turns into a pawn for the gods so that another individual, 2000 years later, could rise as the True King. But in the end Ardyn still won.

I think Kazuya got most depressing story in video games because most of the shit he done is not technically his fault and he being influenced and manipulated by Devil(mainly in the events of Tekken 2 who clouded his judgment) to make him look bad. And his whole family and most of the Tekken cast in which Heihachi sort of know and Jun knows everything, wants to kill him for actions he doesn't he is not fully aware of and some he does, but the people try to kill prior to doing it. And now he merged with Devil he have both ambitions of himself and Devil( which is killing the Mishimas and anyone opposes him, spreading chaos, obtaining the Devil Gene from Jin).
These are good
