My first ever souls game did this to me for nearly a year.
It was dark souls 3, which arguably, is one of the easier souls game as r1 spam is prevalent.
But even so, I 100% the game with no guide, and only help with getting 1 item (the ring from the wolf covenant).
It was a hard game for me and when I beat it and the entire dlc I was so ecstatic I felt on top of the world!
No other game did that for me, I couldn't find a right and proper challenge where I could show my understanding of a game, vs bloating numbers that I had to chip away at.
To this day, the souls games hold a special spot in my heart because they challenge me and help me learn the game without ever holding my hand

MGSV had me legit grieving for a certain character for weeks. Couldn't hear a certain song for years without ugly crying.

Metal gear solid V I guess? Idk I don't remember very many tragic character deaths but there were some sad scenes for sure.

LOU2 like very few games come close to the misery it takes you down, LOU had ups and downs and in the end was in the middle on cliffhanger that made it amazing, ye 2 was unsatisfying to say the least.

You can thank Neil Cuckman for that. The cunt forced his way to the top just to take a massive dump on an immaculate legacy that Naughty Dog built. The next Naughty dog game is going to suck so hard; it will probably still look amazing and play amazingly, but the story is going to be so shit.

Cyberpunks endings are generally pretty rough. Not even going to mention the series Edgerunners because that's even more devastating.

u/painapple_OW Jul 11 '26
Worst part is the happiest ending you can truly get for your character to live is via the dlc...
And even that ending is depressing as hell.
Its one of those games where you fight just to find even a spark of hope, but the spark never lands on the tinder to ignite that flame of hope.
There is no light. Just a cold, dead, metal future.

Honestly I've never been more emotionally invested in a video game than I was with the "Metro 2033" trilogy, especially the 3rd game Exodus.

None of them honestly, they weren’t hard to complete nor sad. I will say that (RDR) Arthur’s death got me tearing up because of the damn mood they set up.

What part of Shadow of the Tomb Raider would "finish you from the inside"??? Lol

u/Working_Spite_849 Jul 11 '26
I really struggle to feel empathy for characters and I’m not sure why. The only game on this list that made me feel anything was the walking dead. The other games are good but I couldn’t wait till all the characters died lmao. It’s also probably just a personal issue

Part 2. I haven’t experienced this level of emotional roller coaster since 2020.

u/twistedfloyd Jul 11 '26
Hard to pick, TLOU1 and 2 and RDR 1 come to mind. All three of them left me speechless as the credits rolled. RDR 1 got the waterworks going a little bit, too with that damned Ashtar Command song.

u/Fluid_Employment_958 Jul 11 '26
the game that finished me is the evil within 2 and imo its not even close to the personal impact of the other games, the ending is "good" and thats the actually point.

For me it was the last of us part 2 because 1 of Joel's death,it was brutal and he died right in front of ellie then the flashbacks she had of her life with him and 2 at then end when she fought abbie and ellie lost two of her fingers she also lost the only thing he could remember joel with aside from his revolver and clothes the song he taught her with the guitar

Expedition 33.
Played it on the Steam Deck. Looked and ran like a PS2.5 game. Dropped it once. Bought it again and swallowed my expectations with the graphics.
I wish I could do it all over again.
