    Yes, multiple times

    Most recently it was "In stars and time"

      Yes once, and it was at the ending of "Brothers: A tale of two sons".
      I bawled my eyes out.

      Small game, but absolutely recommend for anyone that wants to clear out their tear canals.

      I had to put down the controller and just sob for a while. It was such a moving experience.

        Some

        Ok. Maybe some.

        And still I'd rather invest my emotions into real life than in a means of killing time.

          I love TLOU 1.

          I am curious what part made you cry? Parts made me anxious and parts made me very relieved. None made me cry.

            Have never cried because of a video game,

            I was absolutely stunned and amazed when Ted Faro revealed what Zero Dawn really was in Horizon Zero Dawn.

                  Yes, lots of them and for varying reasons.

                  Dead Island's cinematic trailer will tug at the heart strings. Wanted to mention this since many may have missed it now that it's aged a bit.

                  Just rewatched it, still hits me. The footage at the end is what really knocks the wind out.

                            That Dragon Cancer made me fucking weep.

                            Clair Obscur, God of War 2018, What Remains of Edith Finch, The Last of Us, Bastion, Halo: Reach, Firewatch, Celeste, Telltale's The Walking Dead, FFXV, Baldur's Gate 3, Shadow of the Colossus, and more, all made me tear up.

                            Can you tell I'm quite emotional about video games?

                            Finally someone mentions Bastion! I just love that game. The ending where you pick him up... was like chills and crying and more chills.

                                The boss fight in the dinner. This was traumatic to me. The violence in this scene feels much to real to be in a video game, I was not prepared.

                                  Only once, season 1, the last episode of telltales walking dead, lee and clems last time seeing each other. Brutal

                                  And got me really fucking close:

                                        Yes, once after accidentally wiping my Donkey Kong 64 save when I was like 5 and then during Horizon Zero Dawn, I think during RDR2, Life is strange and probably some others. Btw I also made plenty of people cry during the N64 split screen days so that part evens out nicely.

                                          Yeah, I once walked into a Gamestop and saw how expensive new games have gotten...

                                          Joking aside:

                                          • Journey

                                          • To the Moon

                                          • Spiritfarer

                                          • Ori and the Will of the Wisps

                                          All good games, I can't recommend them enough.

                                          What touched you about Journey? I finished the games about 3 times and honestly can't recall that much about it but the art/graphic design being top notch.

                                          Regarding OP's question I also don't recall a game that has made me cry yet, but I wouldn't say I am a senseless being lol, some anime scenes get me from time to time... Is just that with games it feels different.
