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.

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!

The most recent one to make me cry was...

"I Was a Teenage Exocolonist"

Last Day of June was also a lovely and emotional experience for me. I hope you'll enjoy it as well!

People already recommended some Final Fantasies, but really all of them can get you quite emotional at times.

If you like VNs, Umineko no Naku Koro ni made me cry so many times...

Edit: Just remembered Once on a Windswept Night, it's just a short game you can complete in a hour, but for some reason it made me really emotional.

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.

Yakuza Zero has a story that is excellent, albeit goofy at times. In the end, it got me good.

[–] platysalty@kbin.social 3 points 2 years ago

The Yakuza series beyond Zero is also bloody amazing.

One moment you're laughing your ass off and the next thing you know you're in emotional anguish. If you're okay with Japanese weirdness (oh trust me it gets really weird), this series is a great rabbit hole to get into

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.

Probably gonna get hate for it but I'm a man in my 40's and some of the Genshin Impact story lines have left me in tears.

One I've not seen mentioned but made me bawl my eyes out is 'Presentable Liberty' Im not sure about the remake, but the original was pretty short and was gripping, despite the low level of action.

Red Dead Redemption 2 made me bawl my eyes out.
