In Enderal (an absolutely amazing, totally free game that runs on the Skyrim engine - if you own Skyrim you owe it to yourself to play Enderal), at the end of Esme's questline, sitting on top of the lighthouse and discussing the events of her story.
Esme quest spoilers
If you've ever had a loved one who struggled with mental illness or depression, and you just couldn't help them, it hits like a ton of bricks
Phantom Brave, when Marona finally makes a real friend. I lose it every time.
Arven's dog. He's a good boy.
Half of Kaim's dreams in Lost Odyssey, and the cliff flashback.
Genshin has had me tearing up in a few of its main story quests, beautiful game
Earthbound. Was playing it as a kid and didn't have a guide. Final boss, was losing. Hit "pray" in a panic because I was out of options. And then it does the whole thing, and something about overcoming impossible odds with the power of love and community gets to me.
Also the ending of the binding of Isaac where you hear his parents fighting. That dredged up some feelings I didn't know were kicking around down there!
Kanon, Air, Clannad etc
Playing against Xero on Nightmare! setting.
The ending of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon. Such a wonderful soundtrack an story.
Mother 3 may be the only game that made me teary. I think there may be another I'm blocking out but I generally avoiding trying to be sad
Probably one that doesn't get recognized much. In Anachronox, when you find out what happened to Fatima on "that night".
I don't remember that happening
Final Fantasy IX. Just... everything to do with Vivi and Quina. Those to characters cemented IX as my favorite in the series after initially writing it off as inferior to VII and VIII. While those games have some great narratives, Vivi and Quina both do such a great job of exploring what it is to be human, in their own beautiful and heart rending ways.
The entire experience of Outer Wilds.
So many parts of Persona 3, 4, and 5, but especially 4.
Here's a weird one: Starflight on Genesis. Not so much because of the story or content, but because I played this game so much with a friend of mine in middle school, and had all but forgotten about it. I was playing through some old Genesis games a month or so ago, and started this game up. As soon as the title screen came up, a flood of memories washed over me and took me right back to 1992. Bawled like a kid for about ten minutes as I realized I had an awesome friend that I had basically completely forgotten about.
The end of LA Noire got to me. I still can't play the last case without tearing up.
"Trust me."
