Dragon Quest 11. Once with a mermaid side story, once with the main bit.

A lot of good ones, but no one has mentioned Brothers: a Tale of Two Sons. Fairly short, controlling two characters simultaneously was a cool mechanic, and the puzzles were fun but not very challenging. It probably hit me the hardest of any game I've played. I literally teared up every time

The Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy have had immense moments of emotional ups and downs. Few games just make me sit there to contemplate what just occurred to its story, conflicts, or characters; XBC games have many moments sprinkled through its entire playtime that do that.

Omori and the To The Moon series both hit pretty hard for me. Some others that were up there are Undertale, ESC, Secret Little Haven and Night in the Woods. OneShot, though, felt personal in a way no other game has.

Katawa Shoujo.

This War of Mine, Quantum Break and #1 by far: Kingdom Come: Deliverance.

Pentiment. Just it.

Titanfall 2 really messed me up

MyHouse.wad, a Doom 2 map about friendship and loss that really hits hard and awesome. Read the initial post, read the supplemental material on the Google Drive, if you feel like it and then play it.

Super Mario Galaxy also hit me but more for the joy and amazement at the innovative levels and gameplay. One of the few games I played with my wife to 100 % completion.

Stardew Valley never fails to make me get all weirdly emotional.

Titanfall 2... I legit cried at the ending. No other fps has ever made me cry lol.

Thomas Was Alone.

How great writing works

I really cared for these literal blocks on screen.

Haven't seen Before Your Eyes mentioned yet. It's not a long game, but it's got a good story reliving the main character's life through their eyes. Also, you control it by blinking! As soon as you blink, there will be a time skip.

Telltale's The Walking Dead. I have never had a gaming experience like it before or since. It drew me in and hit me in the feels over and over

I'll probably be the only one here, brave enough, to mention this, but the Gear of War series has had some very real tear jerker moments. I don't think I've ever actually cried, but I've come close and it has definitely left me feeling different after the events. Gears 2, 3, and 5 specifically come to mind. If you know, you know.

I'm playing Ratchet and Clank: A Rift Apart and it's doing a good job of making me feel ways about stuff.

I really loved Cyberpunk 2077 for this, too.

Rocket League also makes me feel emotions. Mostly anger.

And just to add something probably not as well known, Lil Gator Game. For a game specifically for children, I did not expect the heavy hitting emotional story it provided.

Tears of the Kingdom, man. It's far from a perfect game, but the ending is ASTOUNDINGLY good.

Pyre is structured in such a way that you can't NOT feel something at each of the key moments. These are your guys - specifically the ones you rely on to secure victory in tough spots. You can't help but feel something when

Ether One made me cry a lot
