For me, in no particular order:
- Firewatch
- This War of Mine
- What Remains of Edith Finch
- Gone Home
- Papers Please
- Doki Doki Literature Club
- I Have No Mouth and I Must Scream
Lots of good answers in this thread but I haven’t seen anyone mention this one yet:
Spec Ops: The Line
Got me right in the feels. That scene, obviously, but I can remember plenty more moments too even though I only played it once when it was new and never since. No spoilers here but if you can put up with the (I think deliberately) generic third-person shooter mechanics it’s worth your time. Also note the strangely muted tone in the Zero Punctuation review because I think it got him in the feels too. It’s a fine game but it was a great experience.
