Ending of the Transistor, I did not seet that coming. I just sat there in stunned silence for a few minutes.
Shadow of the Colossus. Hands down one of the saddest games I’ve ever played.
RDR2. Miss you, Hamish, thanks for the good times.
To The Moon, The Beginner’s Guide, and Night in the Woods all made me cry like a lot. Probably have been a few others, but those were the big ones.
I can’t believe no one is mentioning Chrono Triger few days after it was named as one of best video games. Geez I cried a lot with 2 finals.
Maybe I’m playing the wrong games… I’m not really a fan of game story lines and cutscenes because they get in the way of actually playing the game. I don’t emotionally engage other than chuckling at GlaDOS.
I think Yakuza/Like a Dragon wins the crown for game series that’s made me emotional the most times. Majima seeing Makoto in the ending of 0 and in 2, Kiryu seeing the message the orphanage kids left him in The Man Who Erased His Name, Kiryu going on a tour of his old haunts in Infinite Wealth, Majima visiting Kiryu in the hospital at the end of Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii…there are plenty more, but those all came to mind. They really use the fact that we’ve been following these characters for decades to the fullest extent.
Interesting. I have the game but am still working through backlog before I play it. From the previews it always seemed kinda like absurdly humorous so I’m kinda surprised to hear that they mix in some more emotional chords
When I played Hell blade: Senua’s Sacrifice.
The symbology and story made me understand the struggles of a close friend, who succumbed to her psychosis many years ago. Felt like more than just a game.
The end of Mass Effect 3 had me crying
The actual ending? Mordin was pretty moving to me.
“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong”
Got close sending Floyd to his death in Planet Fall.
I’ve got a weird one. Saints Row 4, near the end. Such a strange, unexpectedly emotional experience.
Celeste is so. fucking. good.
absolutely amazing game in every way
The final battle in Lisa: The Joyful got me. That he doesn’t even attack you - that he hugs you - while “He’s My Dad” plays…
Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, right near the end. I don’t want to spoil too much, but I never thought a game mechanic would make me emotional.
There was this challenge in VVVVVV that left me with tears of rage in my fro
Lol fuck that game. Also, I love that game.
