Some games go against the grain, have no ending, no reward, and the more effort the player puts in, the more he realizes victory is an illusion.

In most games, winning is the ultimate goal, but some games remove that concept altogether. 7 Days to Die forces players into an endless battle against the undead, where “living another day” is the only victory.
Pathologic 2 puts players on a 12-day battle against a plague, but no matter what they do, the city collapses and no one is saved. With The Sims 4, players can only witness the endless life cycle of characters: birth, aging, sickness, death, and then the next generation continues.
Far Cry 5 plunges players into tragedy, and no matter which path they choose, Hope County ends in chaos and destruction. In Outer Wilds, time repeats only every 22 minutes, the sun still explodes, and all attempts return to zero. No Man's Sky, on the other hand, seemed to have a destination at the center of the universe, but it turned out to only open a new cycle, endless and meaningless.
These games not only test skill but also make players wonder: is “winning” just a man-made illusion? Dear readers, please watch more videos: When livestream becomes an economic sector: After the boom, it must be tightened | VTV24
