Have probably done that over a bunch of games over the years but can’t remember much of them but the one game that immediately comes to mind is spiritfarer. Had so many touching farewells and some of them were too relatable to be not shed a tear. Man Atul left me speechless for days, I still need more hugs.

Getting the True Ending in the base game of Outer Wilds. Including the credits, including after the credits. So beautifully bittersweet.

There are few games that I wish I could selectively erase my memory of, this is one of them. Just so I could play it again brand new. Love that game so much

Pretty much everything, in both games. Even the damn ending of Part 2. Emotionally brutal ride for sure.

I was pretty emotionally stunted and depressed as a teenager and had trouble crying even when I wanted to (it’s a horrible feeling, physically) so Earthbound and Mother 3 were therapeutic

Life is strange. Repeatedly.

spoiler alertWitcher 3 when Ciri wakes up, hands down.

But also Priscilla’s song.

And also in RDR2 the cutscene with Unshaken. Arthur is alive and out from prison but broken, sick, and the writing is on the wall.

That scene with Ciri, the music, the cinematography. I can’t keep it together no matter how many times I’ve seen it!

More of a playable story, but the entirety of Dear Esther is a bit heart wrenching.

RyruGrr, rok temu

This game was memorable and phenomenal. However, I don’t think I would have enjoyed it nearly as much if I’d known the massive spoiler in your comment. It looks like you tried to tag it or something, but it’s still showing up in plain text on lemmy.

Dear Esther stuck with me in a profound way. It was my gateway to a whole new genre. It broke my brain a little, as i initially tried to explore every nook and cranny of the boundaries of each area. The game grinds to a halt if you play that way. To any newcomer, just stay on or near the paths, and let the story unfold. There are no hidden chests or discoverables - just an incredible narration through memories and questions, and a chilling ost.

EtherWhack, rok temu

Removed. Apologies, I didn’t know it was visible, my client listed it as hidden text. I guess lemmy still needs to work on standardizing text formatting :/

RyruGrr, rok temu

Thanks a ton. I saw some other comments with spoilers flagged that were working, but they weren’t indented in block quotes, if it helps. I suck at markdown stuff, so that’s the best I can guess for troubleshooting.

I’ve tried some other games to try find a similar experience to Esther, but the quality of DE has proven to be rather rare.

What Remains of Edith Finch was similarly evocative, in many ways. I want to try The Unfinished Swan at some point, as a follow-up.

Leviathan was one that couldn’t click with me. I hate blaming the voice acting, because he certainly had the chops, so I’m guessing he wasn’t directed to be a sympathetic narrator, so much. I won’t say more, but I think they were just going in a different direction/vibe in that game.
