The Witcher 3 is probably the game I have cried the most while playing. From the opening cinematic I shed tears because I found it so beautifully made, I cried when Geralt reunited with Ciri, I shed angry tears when I found a particularly gruesome crime scene during a quest.

When Vesemir dies, all the tearsWhen I thought Ciri died, tears again
:::The fucking Velen OST makes me cry sometimes.
And I'm only taking about base game here, I haven't finished any of the DLC's... Which I know are fantastic so there are still more tears to cry, so... I think I'm gonna go play just now.

Lol, I tear up just hearing River's song, it's such an amazing story. We also played Laura Shigihara's cover of "Everything's alright" for my wife walking down the isle. It's a special game.

I've cried really hard to the track "Confronting Myself" from Celeste, which counts as "because of a video game" even though I wasn't playing it at the time.

I was off my SSRI meds at the time, and it seriously broke me up listening to how the characters' instruments and motifs and the buildup and release of tension in the track mirror the kind of dialogue they're in when it plays. It's also a climactic scene with a lot of mental health allegory going on at the same time, which really adds to the emotions here.
:::I'm crying again now thanks

No. Why would you ever get so emotionally entangled in a video game?
(Some) videogames are just another way to consume stories. their interactive nature makes your imput as a player matter, and if the story is good, (like with any other medium) you get invested in the characters, the world and what happens to those as you progress through the story.

I think most recently I cried while playing Wandersong; such a great game!

No. Why would you ever get so emotionally entangled in a video game?
Usually for the same reasons you'd get entangled in a movie or book? Games are allowed to be emotionally complex just the same as any other form of media, and the interactive aspect gives them some extra leverage for it that others lack.

The end of Stray killed me
Beginning of Stray: "Oh, this cat game is so cute!"
End of Stray: [Hey, come see this big, grown-ass adult guy start ugly-crying!]

Actual cry? No
Really felt something when Tali died in Mass Effect 3. Made a bad choice and she was the penalty of that choice.

I almost cried just because of how awesome Potential for Anything is.
-
"It had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong".
Oof that hurts
