In considering this question, I realize almost ALL of the most-emotional moments in gaming that I can think of are completely dialogue-less.
That being said, the one that comes to mind for me...
The music rising at the end of Outer Wilds, with the harmony becoming complete when all the voices/instruments join in.
The way that one NPC's melody is on a different rhythm from the others, yet it fits with the whole.
The way that one other NPC's counterpoint is deeply alien, and yet it fits with the whole.
"Thank you for remembering me." Like I could forget. After all, we're friends.
"I hope you won't mind if I think of you as a friend"
What a beautiful game. This was my answer on another post of the same question
