Chrono Trigger, especially the DS version that has more endings than the original SNES version.
Knights of the Old Republic I and II. They do more with the franchise and worldbuilding than the movies combined. Get the unofficial patch for II so you don’t miss the unfinished content.
Mother 3’s ending left me utterly devastated.

“Ramza…What did you get?”
I love how ambiguous the ending is too, did Ramza and his sister really survive? What the hell was the netherworld you fight the reincarnation of god in? Poor Ramza gets remembered by history as a heretic.
