Games that Impacted Me Emotionally 😢 😊
Somehow games can impact my mood more than any other medium, and the fact that it doesn't take much to make me empathize with the characters doesn't help either. So I might cry or smile playing almost any story-driven game these days.
And that made putting together such a collection really hard for me. But I tried to distill it to the best and most impactful games as good as I can, so yeah, feel free to take a look.

Another game about bonding and relationships. It's all in the title, you will be tasked to control two completely different "souls" (it's hard to name them any other way) and the way they interact is …
The reasons why Firewatch is on this list are basically the same as Gone Home's. It's a game that does it's world building so well, that you are ready to believe the impossible. While it's just a stor…
This might seem like an odd one. A game with a questionable combat system, or so they say, overflow of philosophical topics, or so they say once more, still earns a spot on the most impactful games fo…
With all the flaws this game has, it was the most emotionally impactful of the whole series for me. The conflict between characters closer to the end of the game and the «For Better or Worse» chapter …
I'll keep this one short, since, contrary to all the praise by the gaming communities, "The Last of Us" left me angry.I didn't want to act the way the game made me act. And I didn't really care if tha…
A perfect representation of the fact that you don't need a single word to make you feel, to empathize.Journey has a perfect name, that tells everything you need to know about it. It's a real journey t…
