Looking for games that will make me cry (lemmy.sdf.org)

Basically what the title says. I've only played two games like this so far (Silent Hill 2 and OMORI) and am looking for more.

Could be games, ROM hacks, mods of existing games, etc.

EDIT: So many great suggestions! Getting a bit overwhelmed by how many there are, so I'm going to need to find a way to put this in some kind of list with an order to play the games in. By all means, keep 'em coming, though!

If you've ever experienced grief, then Gris. I still listen to the beautiful soundtrack regularly

Disco Elysium shattered me half a dozen times. Two moments in particular made me step away from my desk and go on a walk. It's the best-written game I've ever played.

Firewatch. Gorgeous, emotionally honest game that wrings you out.

Inside. More of a stressful, cathartic cry, but it applies.

Mass Effect 3 - but only if you play the first two. Incredible story that beats you over the head with yearning .

God of War: Ragnarok got me close to bawling. Father son moments always get me in movies and games, and this was one of the best.

I still need to play the first (rebooted) one. Also I game on PC, so I gotta wait for Sony to give the OK to the devs to port it over like they did woth the first one.

I may be a bit late to the party but The last of us 1&2 had a pretty emotional impact on me. The game is pretty brutal, in every meaning, but the overall experience and story telling is hard to top.

I highly recommend to not get spoiled and play it in order of release!

Red Dead Redemption 2 made me bawl my eyes out.

Bastion hit me like no other game really has. The start of supergiants fantastic game repertoire and I feel it gets overlooked due to its age. The music and narration is fantastic, and the story that unfolds is beautiful.

The ending of metal gear solid three hurt me pretty good.

Been meaning to play through the series. I hear 3 and 4 are the best ones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

They are! If you want to play them in chronological order: it's 3, 1, 2 and then 4.
