Yeah, I once walked into a Gamestop and saw how expensive new games have gotten...
Joking aside:
-
Journey
-
To the Moon
-
Spiritfarer
-
Ori and the Will of the Wisps
All good games, I can't recommend them enough.

My partner is chronically ill and Karlach's ending in BG3 made me sob because I was romancing her and it hit very close to home
Last of us part 2.
To the moon.
I may have teared up at the end of Half-Life 2.
Outer Wilds. Endings of both the main game and the DLC can still get me to tear up a bit. I saw a post somewhere, don't remember, that said something along the lines of "Listening to the Outer Wilds OST is the only way I feel my feelings any more." It's about like that.
Stray had some moments
The end of Stray killed me
Beginning of Stray: "Oh, this cat game is so cute!"
End of Stray: [Hey, come see this big, grown-ass adult guy start ugly-crying!]
The Walking Dead. Clementine, my girl, she needs a hug.
Journey. I will cry every time.
Lethal Company. Laughter and fear crying.
Neon White had a moment or two I think
BioShock Infinite
Celeste
Assassin's Creed Black Flag
A Short Hike
Spiritfarer
probably more....
Black Flag hit far harder than a Ubisoft game had any right to. The entire fucking credits scene... And you just know they are absolutely going to butcher a remaster and bolt on a bunch of always online micro transaction slop.
The metroidvania, Ori series.
Ori and the blind forest & Ori and the will of the wisps
The end of Will of the Wisps damn near killed me from dehydration
When it’s the 8th anti boss blind, you have 11 aces, and you go through all your discards and hands without a 4 of a kind
Outer Wilds, both at the end and when I found the DLC spoiler character. Good tears, though. It's beautiful
Literally yesterday I started playing Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and just the prologue hit me.
The end of Karlach's story in Baldurs Gate 3
Both Red Dead Redemption and Red Dead Redemption 2 made me cry.
Final Fantasy VII, the original one. Stopped playing it for a couple months.
Absolutely not! I’ve never played The Last Guardian. (Yes)
Trico may not exactly be a dog, but Trico is still a very good dog
When Jackie Wells died I sobbed, well more of a break down. My dad had just passed and something about it hit fucking hard.
Kind of weep a bit of joy playing my favorite games at times and still feel the bit of sadness when they are over.
Yes once, and it was at the ending of "Brothers: A tale of two sons".
I bawled my eyes out.
Small game, but absolutely recommend for anyone that wants to clear out their tear canals.
This game destroyed me.
It wrenched my soul from its mortal prison and threw it on the ground to pound with a mallet like a fucking Gallagher watermelon

There are certainly more games I probably have shed a tear or two or many playing, but those are the ones that immediately fill me with emotion looking back
Also all of these are spoilers lol, so don't watch them if you haven't played the games, but thankfully, none of them are recent releases
RIP Bloodwing. 😭
My brother mained Mordecai in the first game. That part ruined him for days
A different part ruined me. I mained Roland.
Detroit become human, that game is art.
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.
Oh yes absolutely, and the few people who have played these will likely agree:
What Remains of Edith Finch - Lewis and the finale always get me
Kentucky Route Zero - The expensive whiskey and "Then we buried the horses"
Probably more but can't remember.
FFX. When Titus and Luna were playing/swimming in the lagoon/lake/whatever and being happy. If memory serves correctly, at that point in the game, it was very clear that Luna was going to be sacrificed to keep Sin from destroying the world, and she had accepted that as her duty like the other summoners before her.
The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most while playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.
Tap for spoiler
When Vesemir dies, all the tears
When I thought Ciri died, tears again
The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.
And I'm only taking about base game here, I haven't finished any of the DLC's... Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so... I think I'm gonna go play just now.
Yes, several times. The first one that comes to mind is The Last of Us Part 2.
As a kid I cried out of frustration while playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai during the Super Saiyan Goku vs 100% Full Power Frieza fight. It was just a massive difficulty spike that I'd constantly struggle with. My mom would make fun of me for it for a long time.
For anything more recent, I did cry in Danganronpa V3 at the end of the fourth trial. It was the only time my favorite character in one of these games died and the reason it happened sent me into a batch of sadness that lasted a few days where I just refused to keep playing the game.
Shadow of the Colossus. Hands down one of the saddest games I’ve ever played.
Nier anything I don't think video games are silly things
I've cried really hard to the track "Confronting Myself" from Celeste, which counts as "because of a video game" even though I wasn't playing it at the time.
Tap for spoiler
I was off my SSRI meds at the time, and it seriously broke me up listening to how the characters' instruments and motifs and the buildup and release of tension in the track mirror the kind of dialogue they're in when it plays. It's also a climactic scene with a lot of mental health allegory going on at the same time, which really adds to the emotions here.
I'm crying again now thanks
I've teared up for some. In Sound Mind made me think of my cat who was recently deceased and was more special to me than any of the other pets I had. And then there was the ending for Outer Wilds, and the... fuckin' everything in Ori and the Blind Forest.
The end of God of War (2018).
Yes. Every dark souls game
Played through Before Your Eyes and it absolutely broke me. I'd 1000% recommend using a camera and going in blind. Very emotional experience.
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
An absolute emotional rollercoaster start to end.
33/33 would recommend
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.
