The story ends on a bittersweet note, with major issues being mostly resolved. While this ending may make the player feel emotional, it is in no way a bad ending as the story's main problem is resolved for the better.
An example of a bittersweet ending would be where a hero(ine) sacrifices themselves to help solve the story's main conflict. While their death may be tragic and sad, they ultimately accomplished what they set out to do, leading to a better outcome as a result.
