Ghost Trick is a very twisty game, but a few of the twists had me tearing up.
Patient Gamers
A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Rime is hauntingly beautiful in a way that hits you as it finishes.
Tales, Xenogears
Been meaning to play Xenogears for years now.
That Dragon, Cancer. Part game, part visual novel.
Have you played Plague Tale 1 and 2? I'm not considered a very emotional person, but the dynamic really got to me. Just a really solid game, enjoyable combat. They're two of the very few games I binged to completion.
Rakuen was the most recent game I played that did that for me
TIL supershigi makes video games. I'll defo have to check this one out. Bonus points if she sings in the OST.
In Bindinc of Isaac you cry a lot.
But on a more serious note. The Life is Strange series can be very emotional, if you like the style of the games.
Omori. If you don't cry when playing that game, you are a monster...
But more seriously, even though it's the best storytelling I've seen in ages, I wouldn't recommend it if you are depressed, that game hits hard.
They probably aren't your cup of tea but thought I'd add some more variety.
Final Fantasy XIV; an mmo with focus on story and the story arc from the past 9 years is wrapped up and brought me lots of tears.
Honkai Impact 3rd; ARPG gacha game (I know, I was skeptical) also with years of story following a relatively small cast of characters.
